BIC METUCHEN
ROBBERY CLUE
BY stan Correspondent.

BY STAFF Correspondent.
METUCHEN, Dec. 1.-THE theo-
ry was being advanced here today
that the wholesale robberies com
mitted here early Sunday night-in
which the post office, express Office
and a freight al were entered and
valuables estimated at $1,000 stolen
were the work of truckmen who
have been in the habit of passing
through the borough, driving trucks
loaded with merchandise between
New York and Trenton, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore or Washington. One
arrest has been made, the Railway
police holding a man who it Is
thought possible might be able to
give the Metuchen authorities some
interesting and valuable information.
Chief Willard B. Hutchinson will go
to Railway this afternoon to aues-
ton the man.
The man under arrest in Railway
entered a garage about IL o'clock
Sunday night in company with three
other men md asked If they could
spend the night there. When their
request was refused three of the
men left the place, but this one in
particular refused to go, and became
SO antagonistic hat the garage man
a In dliCSlcu. JDc OlllcI UIeIl
are said to have gone to Metuchen.
It is thought to have been about this
hour of the night when the robbcrics
were committed here.
Two of the robberies reported yes
terday-proyed to be false alarms
following further Investigation. The
real estate Office of Edgar Campbell,
adjoining the express office, was not
entered. 1T was said yesterday aft
ernoon. 1t vas learned that the win
dow which had been found unlocked
had not been forced and that moth
ing in the place was disturbed, al
though appearances early yesterday
morning were that the place had
,een visited by the robbers.
The automobile tire, rim, extra
tire holder, rear license plate and
rear light which were reported
stolen from a car belonging to Car
son a. Johnson, a local taxicab own
err, were found yesterday on the road
near Iselin. They had apparently
fallen from the automobile and were
not missed until the excitement of
the robbery was at its heighth. Then
the first thought which came into
the head of its owner was that the
same men who had robbed the safe
in the post Office had removed the
equipment from the automobile.
Another report received by the
police was to the effect that a mar
had been walking up and down in
front of the post office for a con-
siderable unexpectedly on the
lookout for any passersby. This
lookout. 1t was said, could easily
warn those working inside upon the
approach of anyone by tapping on
the window, and again give the
signal that "all was we'll as soon as
they had gotten out of hearing dis
tance.
Persons living in the rear of the
post office told of hearing a con-
slant pounding early Sunday night
but thought nothing more of It un-
til questioned by the police. The
noise they heard evidently vas the
impact of the heavy sledgehammer
striking the safe combination blow
after blow.

To HEAR OUS7ED
OFFICERS CASE
Thomas HoWIey Removed for
Political Reasons Is Charge
in Writ of CertiOrari Fight
BY stan Correspondent.
ME-" ppITNCWUCI

BY stan Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK Dec. II
Justice James Bergen ruled this
morning in the county court that
the Interested parties in the Ease of
Thomas Howley, a discharged court
officer, appear before him on Satur-
day next, to show cause why the
man. an exempt fireman, should be
retained or discharged from the po-
sition he held since 1916. This rul-
inr was made after the court had
received the request of Counselor
Edmund Hayes, of this city, for d
writ of certiorar: for Howley, allcg-
ing that the man vas removed for
political reasons. The courts opiu-
ion of the matter was that a sheriff
is allowed to appoint ten court Of
ficers at the beginning of a term or
the beginning of his term of office.
The counselor requested the writ
in accordance with the Exempt Fire
mems laws of 1911, which entitle the
man to a hearing on charges, before
being removed. No charges nave
been made and no trial held, and for
this reason, counsel contends. the
man Is still a court officer.
Howley's name has been removed
from the list of court officers by
Sheriff Elmer Wyckoff. He was APP
pointed by Sheriff Anderson, Demo-
crat, in 1916. According to the old
laws, every constable in the county
is entitled to serve as court officer
for a time. Sheriff Wyckoff was not
represented at the session this morn
ing. Frederick Richardson will pos
silly represent him at the hearing
on Saturday, which is expected to be
held i'm Somerville.

new YEAR ARRIVES WITH PROSPECTS
OFBEINGONE OF BRIGHT FUTURE FOR
JUIESBURGS CIVIC IMPROVEMENTS

enjoyed = splendid patronage during
the past year, and are successfully
going through the period Of recon-
struction Of prices, altho it has meant
great loss to many Of them, and
with the progressive and economical
business methods employed have no
reason to doubt but what the volume
of business during the year 1921 will
greatly exceed that of the past year.
1t is commonly stated that there
are using every effort to retard this
community's progress in order that
their own selfish wants may be salts
fined. But that is all the more rea-
son why the progressive citizens
should work harder towards the goal
of a bigger and better Julesburg and
snow the few selfish ones under.
Now for the beginning-let's go and
keep going by inserting the proper
pep into community work. Let's re-
vive our community club which has
long since died a natural death. Don't
excuse yourself by saying that you
are too busy with your own business.
Community up-building is of the
greatest Importance and your own
business interests will be materially
benefited. Let's all get in and get
our feet wet. and work for the goal
of making this the best and biggest
little town in the state of Colorado.
Let's see to it that the year 1921
brings many changes for the better
ment of Julesburg. 1t is safe to pre-
dict that there will be numerous new
business enterprises, many civic i'm
provements, Give" community club
with every business man in town a
member, better streets and roads, \
public library, a public rest room and
many others. Just watch our "smoke." !"
We are wide awake and will remain
so through out the entire year, and
at the end of the year 1921 we can
look back and truthfully say that if
Julesburg has not had banner year
it is not our fault, for we have put
forth our best efforts.
