That night Mr.. Hogg replaced it, but
this time he hdded a legal measure
calculated to keep it in its place.
Through his lawyer. Harry Cooper.
obtained an injunction restraining the
BRADLEY Beach police force from inter
ferng with the sign.
This injunction is returnable to-
morrow in the District Court in Pater-
son, but the argument on it can't come
up because too many other legal phases
OF the case have come up since then.
me sign. however, remained in place
until last Friday night. when it mystic
rlously disappeared. Rumor had it that
the Bradley Beach branch of the Ku
klux Khan swooped down about mid
night and made off with the board
Meanwhile, Mrs. Lochowitcz insti-
tuted damage suit for $500 against
Hogg the Bugman. alleging that in
hanging and rehanging the sign he
mad trespassed upon her property. This
action will come up in the Bradley
Beach Borough Court tomorrow.
In retaliation Mr.. Hogg got war
rant for Mrs. Lochowitcz from Justice
Of the Peace James Housed, of Belmar,
charging her with making dire threats
against him. In fact Mr.. Hogg be-
lieves there is a plot on foot to exter.
inmate the exterminator. Mrs Locho-
witcz came to New York Friday to seek
little quiet and did not return to
Bradley Beach until nearly midnight.
When she arrived there she found Ser
geant-atA Arms James O. Stephens. of
the Asbury Park Borough, awaiting
her with the warrant. The extermina-
tor was also there, and the three went
down TO Belmar to have the trial held

hard days fishing and was in no mood
for trials. He shouted down from
bedroom window that he had retired
and would be grateful to all hands if
they'd please go away and let him
sleep
The trial has been set for this
afternoon and will be a sort of eye
opening prelude to the big event in the
evening.
Early on Saturday morning Mrs.
Loehowltcz got warrant for Hogg, the
bugman, charging him with malicious
mischief. This was not served on the
noon, and he was logged off to the viii
lage jail before he could get bonds

hours and wished heartily for some of
his own disinfectant.
Finally B. L. Calm, proprietor of
department store at SO4 Main Street
came to the rescue and the Bugman
was released in $500 bail This is the
trial that comes up before Recorder
Lee TINS evening. Both sides expect
to call many witnesses and Mayor Bor-
den has issued a request that all guns
and hand grenades be checked at the
door.
When Hogg was relea.ed he hurried
home and, with the assistance of his
twin sons, made himself new sign. 1t
bore the same legend as the first. ex-
cept that beneath "Strictlv Kosher
were the words Don't Sit on Me" and
under that was painted the picture Of
thistle
This sign Mr.. Hogg had wired so
tnat 1T would ring bell at the head
OF his bed in the garage if any one
disturbed it. He also rugged up two
powerful searchliehts and trained them
or it after dark
At 1890 o'clock Sunday night fifty
citizens of Bradley Beach paraded down
Fourth Avenue and stopped in front Of
the SIGN. One of them produced rope
and quickly lassoed the board, and then
all took hand in pulling it down. This
set the bell to screaming in Hogg the
Bugman's bedroom, and he was on the
scene in trce and new suit of
paJamas. Backing him was his son
Robert. who recently was honorably
discharged from the navy. Warm words
nassed between the Hoggs and the
Bradley Beach Branch of the Ku-Klux
Khan. There were threats, and one of
the irate citizens passed a casual re-
mark about tar and feathers
Robert, using the vernacular of the
navy, told the citizen to pipe down on
that stuff and just then another citi-
zen. who may or may not belong to the
Lambs, copied young Mr.. Hogg on the

The arrival of the two overworked
policemen spoiled what looked like a
