fought forty-fivc years ago in which

Crook City was one of the first
towns established in the northern
Black Hills. II was situated In the

stands. Crook City was very live

Shannon had been making some bets

refused; Shannon took his refusal as

} Moore went to his cabin at once and
secured his rifle and came back onto

who had carelcssly neglected to arm
himself. Under the old rule, Moore
had the right TO shoot Shannon at

Of the error on the part Of Shannon.
Moore very politely informed Shannon

Letter Sheds Light Upon
Mystery of Slain Man 5
Body Found At Keypor

That some action may be taken by
, the relatives of Milton Dockery TO
locate his murderers is made known
today in a communication just re-
ceived from j. Il. Dockery of Tri-
mann, Ark, a cousin of the dead
man. The communication was adj
dressed to the Cliffwood police. but
as there are no police at hat place
the communication was turned over
to Marshal John Mulsoff of the
Matawan department.
Dockery's body was washed mp on
the beach at Cliffwood on May 2,
and was discovered by August Men
eel. The hands and feet of the dead
man were bound with a heavy rope.
1t is the belief of John Smith. county
detective of Monmouth cour1y, that
Dockery was hit over the head with
a heavy instrument and then his
hands and feet tied and the body
thrown into the water. Dockery was
buried temporarily at keyport.
The communication which has re-
vived interest in the case follows:

IBy Evening News Correspondent

bertson & Reese will get the con-
tract for the laying of the curb and
sidewalk on John and Augusta street
but-where is the city going to get
the money? That is the question
that came up at the meeting of the
council last night when the legal
opinion of City Solicitor f. p. Coan
was read. The opinion of the city
solicitor was of interest to the big
audience that had attended the ses-
sion of the council in anticipation
that "something would be doing"
Some of the city officials were of
the opinion that the work could be
started at once They felt that this
would be financed as a trust fund"
and thus would not come under the
capital investment account. On a
motion of Councilman Shuey the bid
was awarded to the firm of Lam
bertson & Reese-if the work is to
be don All checks for the unsuc-
cessful bidders were returned.
The solicitors opinion is as fol-
lows:
I'm the matter of the question re-
ferred to me at the last meeting
relative to the signature of Lambert
son & Reese to their proposal | most
respectfully submit the following as
my conclusion and opinion: ,
The Pearson act which requires
that the award of a contract let on
a competitive bidding be to the low
est responsible bidder does not re-
quire a signature at all.
THE case of Faist VS.. the City OF
Hoboken holds that mere technical
informalities or irregularities in the
form of the bid will not defeat the
right of the lowest bidder to have
the contract awarded to him, and
authorize the municipal body or
board to award the contract to a
higher bidder.
I'm other words it is the plain
duty of this body to award the con-
tract to the lowest bidder regardless
of informalities or Irregularities. |
might add that the specifications and
form of proposal do not require that
the proposal be signed at all, and
surely does not require that the pro-
posal be subscribed. / would recon-
mend that in the future proposals
and specifications that subscription
be one of the requirements of the
PROPOSAL.

PROTECTION WEEK
TO Be OBSERVED IN n. J.

rBy Evening News Correspondent
TRENTON, May 1S:-Both Presi-
dent Harding and Governor Edwards
have issued proclamations designat-
ing next week as forest protection
week. Ample provision is being
made for the observation of the
week in all of the New Jersey
schools. Through the cooperation
of the Commissioner of Education,
State Fire Warden c. +. WILDER has
sent letters to all school superin-
tendents of the state, calling atten-
ton to the importance of the sub
ject, and attaching copies of the
governors proclamation. AS mate
with each letter a copy of the last
issue of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters monthly, Safeguard
ing America Against Fire. which
has been devoted exclusively to for
est fire protection and control.
A loss in standing timber and
property valued at $S5,000,0 900 in
five years, of which New jerseys
share is $336,887, and a toll of
hundreds of lives. not to mention
the damage to our future lumber
supply, as the price of carelessness
brought out in the publication.
Between 500 and 1000 fires occur
in New Jersey each year. They burn
over from $4,000 to 100000 acres
of woodland yearly. New Jersey has
about 100000 acres now wooded.
This land will produce much, if not
all, of the lumber the state needs ex-
cept for a few purposes. Making it
do so is a thing big enough to be
worth while.
