|. PENN'S GROVE STREETS
Attacks Recorder Edgar and
Officer Shores and Lands in
Salem Hospital.

STAFF Correspondence of Every Evening.
Penn's Grove. n. j., Dec. 2t.--Frank
Dibell. n shoemaker, is in the Salem
Memorial Hospital with a fractured
skull as n result OF his attack on
Borough Recorded Walter Edgar last
night.
Recorder Edgar who is also an In
surance agent, was called from the
street into the poolroom at 20 South
Broad street by an Italian, who said
that Dibell wanted to pay some in
surance money. When Edgar entered
the poolroom Dibell motioned him
over to a corner. Without warning.
It is said. he jumped on the recorder,
striking him on the back Of the head
and knocking him down.
Other occupants Of the room pulled
Dibell off and held him while Edgar
left the place. As soon as he was
released Dlbell ran to the street where
he encountered Marshal Robert
Shores whom Recorder Edgar had
had notified Of his actions.
Marshal Shores was about TO place
the man under arrest when he struck
him in the face. The officer was
forced to use his blackjack to subdue
his assailant The fight lasted sew
eral minutes. Dibell was taken to the
/ Borough Hall and DIR. Barnhart sum-
moned. He advised the mans re-
moval TO the hospital.
| Recorder Edgar said Dibell's actions
were probably caused by his desire for
4 revenge as he was fined 500 and
costs in the recorders court six
months ago on n charge of keeping a
disorderly house. Didbell was also
under the influence OF liquor, wit
nesses said.
