rear of No. 35 Pitman Street last
Sunday night came near resulting in
the loss of two lives. Both men are
in the County hospital at Salem, and
one of them is still in a dangerous
condition.
About 7.30 o'clock in the evening
the crap game was going full tilt when
a dispute arose and the shooting be-
ram. Six eolored men were impl1-
Gated.
When the police arrived upon the
scene they found Leonard Henry lying
on a couch with a bullet hole in his
stomach. He said that one Stanley
Carter shot him and that Carter could
probably be found on New Street.
Henry was taken in a automobile,
to the address named where Carter
was found. He had a bullet wound in
the back. 1t was learned later in the
evening that Carter had been shot byi
William Gross. During the night he
was captured and locked up by officer
Clyde Byrd.
Other men implicated were Gordon
Rome, Philip Brokenbough and Wm.
Robinson. First aid was given Henry
and Carter in Penns Grove by doctors
Fleming and Baxter and they We're
then taken later to the County hospital
at Salem. DR.. w. P. Glendon, of
Bridgeton, County Physician Davis
and DIR. David Green performed an OPP

had entered Henry's abdomen and
punctured the intestines in eight
places. The bullet in Carriers body
was located in his back. Henry's con-
dition is quite serious.
Sheriff Mifflin soon had officers on
the ground to assist Chief Marshal
Houseworth and his men. Rome, Rob-
inson, Brokenbough and Gross were
all held as material witnesses and par
Elephants.
A hearing will be held as soon as
the injured men are able to leave the
hospital.

Elks' Bazaar A Success

The Elks' bazaar closed on Satur-
day night with a big crowd on the
grounds. The bazaar was a success
financially despite the bad weather
which continued almost necessarily
during the entire period which the en-
t~ertainment was held.
The handsome Chevrolet sedan cal
which was on exhibition during the n
tire week was presented to Edward
Donaldson. Mr.. Donaldson conducts
a bootblack stand near the foot of
West Main Street. To say that he
was pleased with the splendid gift
does not begin to describe the smile
on his face when he appeared before
the crowd and accepted the machine.
A substantial sum was realized,
which will be used toward erecting a
fine Elks' home on the spacious lot
where the bazaar was held.
Elks lodge, as a committee of the
whole, desire to express their thanks
to the people of Penns Grove, Carneys
Point and vicinity for the many arti-
cles contributed to be disposed of, and
for their generous support in all other.
ways. 1t makes them feel that they
have the good will of the community
in their efforts to build a home.

Most parents that have boys in
school ranging in ages from 10 to Ia
years of age like them to do some
thing useful during the vacation per-
iod. One of the most useful things
would be to try a few months on a
farm blowing which will give him a
new constitution, keep the kinks out
of his head, take the frog out of his
throat, the gas out of his stomach, the
WEAKNESS out of his legs, the corns
off his toes and give him a good APP
petite, and an honest living.

early payment of all town taxes. In
the face of rising costs which are un-
avoidable obligations to be met, the
Borough Council are. called upon to
increase every business shrewdness
and economy to make a fair showing

iastically Supported. ~

The belief in the success Of the
Boy Scout movement in Rock Is
land is being daily reiterated in an
eloquent manner by the receipt of
substantial checks in response to
the mail campaign to raise the
$4,000 budget for the local council.
Confidence that the money raised
three years ago to defray the ex-
penses of the troops and executive
council in this city since that time
has been well spent is also demon
strated by the continued support of
the work among the youths. And
this expression is the more marked
because it is forthcoming without
the organization of an intricate
campaigning system such as is or
dinarily necessary. People are
sending In remitances to the.
drive" committee only upon the
urgency OF their own knowledge
that the money will be well spent
In worthy cause, for no teams are
out working insistently for = the
support Of the scouts. ~
Many subscribers to the council
budget have been announced be-
