Seeking Negro Assailant.

Early Sunday morning Mrs. Mary Notsey
who lives between Merchantville and Moores-
! town. was her way TO Camden when she
was attacked by a negro who was driving
along the road. William Coles, farmer liv-
ing near the place where the attack took
place. heard groans and proceeded to inSesti-
gate the cause. He saw a man run from the
place and he fired two shots in the direction
the man ran. This did not stop the fellow and
Mr.. Coles went to where the groans cams
from and found woman lying unconscious.
He sent her to Cooper hospital. Camden, and
! then notified the police.
Volunteers quickly responded to call and
soon there was an armed squad searching the
neighborhood. From the description given Of
the negro it was found to tally with that of
James Whiting, who works for a farmer at
Green Tree or Evesboro. The searching party
took an automobile and went to Writings
home and knocked at the front door. Whit
ing ran from the back of the house and re-
volver shots failed to stop him. The news of
the chase soon spread and in short time
there were number of farmers armed with
all sorts of weapons looking for the assailant
The woman seems to be suffering more from
the nervous shock than from anything more
serious as it has not been discovered that the
negro succeeded in what was his apparent in
tention.
While the men in. the searching party were
securing the neighborhood of Hainesport they
saw a man moving in the swamp along the
creek. They fired at him and he asked If they
would spare his life if he came out Being
assured that this would be done the negro
made a start as if to come out but changed
his mind and that is the last that seen
of him The, place where he is hiding is tAe
strip that lies between the Parry residence
and Lumberton. 1t is very marshy and it is
almost impossible for person to go into the
spot without being immerged in the swamp.
1t is said that cattle have got in the marsh
and it has taken strenuous efforts to extri-
cate them There is not the slightest doubt
that the man was there but it is possible that,
exhausted by his running to keep away from
the chasers he has fallen into the marshy
land and has been overcome. There were over
500 people watching the place last night and
it was surrounded SO that it was thought he
could not have escaped by any avenue. But
this morning he is reported to have got out
into the clear land and is still on the go.

Mistake Caused Accident

NAlStahC OduoCO ASSlOCut
That misunderstanding by the car
driver of the signals of James Clark,
the grade crossing Waterman, caused
the tragedy which snuffed out FIVE lives
when Pennsylvania railroad passen
ger train hit touring car at Taylor's
Lane, near Riverside, last Thursday
week, was the verdict of the coroner's
jury, which held an inquest on the
tragedy on Friday. The jury placed
no personal blame upon any person for
the accident, nor did 1t urge better pro-
lection at the scene of the accident,
leaving such action to county officials.
Clark, the grade crossing guard, en-
ployed by State road contractors whose
work on the river road made detour
over the tracks at Taylor's Lane neces
sary, admitted that he had not been
furnished with stop sign as required
by law at guarded crossings.
Miss Dorothy Bacon, nineteen year
old daughter of George NJ. Bacon, a
Riverside lawyer, was the heroine OF
the accident, the testimony showed. A
student at Palmyra high school, she
was coming home on the train and
when there was a call for physicians
and nurses among passengers, the
Young woman, who had had few
months nursing experience, volunteer
ed her services. She made an examin-
alton of each body, finding life was
extinct, and then temporarily dressed
the injuries Of four-year-old Laura
Webb, the only survivor.
Henry B. Woodw ard. the fireman,
told the jury how from the cab on the
left side of the locomotive toward the
wagon road he saw the automobile sud
denly swing off the highway and dart
from back of the station building at
Taylor's Lane directly in front OF the
| locomotive. He shouted to the engin
eer. but there was barely chance to
set the emergency brakes before the
| crash came.
I John B. Watts, engineman, said his
| train was late, and he was endeavor
| ing to make up lost time. All the pre-
cautions were observed at crossings, he
said. and the first mixing he had OF
danger was the fireman's shout and the
next instant the wheels Of an automo'
bile appeared directly in front OF the
locomotive.

| In the township offices Bertram X

THE NEWS places at the head of
another column the names of the
/ state and county candidates. They
are men who can be supported without
hesitancy by every citizen regardless
of politics and they will receive many
votes from the other side. They are
men of integrity and will give their
state and county good service. THE
NEWS has no hesitancy in promising
| them its best efforts to aid in their
election. There will not be any mud
! singing on our part against the Demo-
cratic candidates nor will we indulge in
slurring those who did not think as we
did in the primary. Every man had a
right to his opinion and it is plain to
be seen that this right was exercised.
The majority has spoken and its will
must be recognized. 1t is a pleasure
to do this because there is not single
nominee of the Republican party
against whom the slightest objection
can be raised. We have nothing to re-
greet or to recall in the campaign just
ended. The duty from now on until
the polls close on election day is to do
everything that can be done to give
our candidates large majority. There
are many who did not vote for the
successful nominees. But just as hard
as they worked for their choice, just so
hard should they labor for the success
of the entire ticket.
There was not much strife on the
Democratic side. Elwood Hart, OF
Willingboro, and LeClerc Shedaker, Of
Burlington, were named for the three
year term of the small Board Of Free
holders; William D. Cowperthwait, Of
Southampton, for two years; and
George w. Ebert, Of Southampton,
defeated Aaron M. Mathis, Of Bass
River. for the one-year term.
Dick Hughes sun did not set on
Tuesday, but it sunk 80 close to the
edge that it was mighty uncomfort-
able. By the narrow margin Of one
vote he defeated James Mercer Davis
for the position of member of the
Democratic state committee. "A miss
is as good as a mile" but to squeeze
through by one vote is not such as to
make one feel that his popularity has
gained to any substantial degree.

The Election

The primary election on Tuesday re-
suited almost in the manner that had
been predicted. Comptroller Bugbee
was nominated for Governor, receiving
10000 plurality over his next highest
competitor, Governor Runyon. Sen
ator Edwards beat Jim" Nugent by
about the same plurality that the Re-
publican candidate received.
In this county Governor Runyon
was successful by plurality of 47O.
Here, as in other parts, the much-de-
tested Zone" system cut large
figure.
For State Senator Blanchard H.
White won out. Former prosecutor
Atkinson came in second, while Cap
tain Doctor Wintersteen secured 1850
votes. Before the primary he said
You will know 1 am running" That
seems to have been the case but the
man who knew it to his disadvantage
was Mr.. Atkinson as it is pretty GER
tain that the majority of votes given
to the returned soldier" would have
gone to the former prosecutor.
The fight on county clerk was holly
contested and it was admitted all
through the campaign that the result
would be in doubt until the votes were
counted. 1t was not as close as had
been predicted as Mr.. Reeves was sue
cessful by 1853 plurality. 1t was con-
test between two men Of equal qualif-
cations, honesty and responsibility
and there is not any reason why the
man who has been chosen by the
people should not receive the support
OF every good citizen, irrespective of
politics.
The selection of candidates for the
small Board OF Freeholders was also
warmly contested and the successful
men are all well qualified for the posi-
ton and will give their attention to
the business Of the county in a way
that will give satisfaction to all.
