in the local high school gym, when they
defeated the fast st. Johns team of
West Hoboken in game replete with
thrills. The final score was % to %
The visitors were too light for the

AS preliminary "comic game
was played by Joe Coughlin's Little

laughing so heartily that they cried.
This game was played without ref

written for one of the large movie cor
porations to film. 1t surely would
make a hit as a first run comedy.

Old War News About
Palisade Soldiers

A letter received at the home Of
Conrad Breiby In West Palisade tells
of the Signal Corps boys being in fine
health and hopeful spirits. Conrad
wrote that he had been on the firing
line on two occasions and compared
the awful sounds of battle with a vio-
lent and lOng-continued thunderstorm.
He relates strange and interesting
incident connected with the meeting of
other Palisade bdys in Flanders, 1t
will be remembered that when two
days out at sea on the voyage over
young Breiby ran across Sergeant Har-
ry Elkan and Sergeant Glenn Hacker,
none Of them knowing the others were
aboard. Well. Conrad was on duty re-
Gently when who should ride by on
horseback but Harry EIkan, bringing
up old Palisade days. And, strangely
enough, they could only pass and sa-
lutte, as each was hurrylng along on
duty. Shortly after this incident Con-
rad writes that he passed company
Of American soldiers on Flanders
road, when he saw Glenn Hacker, Mrs.
Ernest Sibley's nephew, n the ranks.
Hello, GLENN said Conrad.
Hello. Conrad - replied Glenn.
"How are you?" called Conrad.
"Fine," answered Glenn. And they
passed on. And you cant beat that
for showing how small the world Is.

Secret Romance in
Walter Flack Case

Nothing sadder connected with the
killing of Walter Flack has been
chronicled than his romantic marriage
with beautiful young girl of Ho-
boken, Dorothy Mcdaniel, daughter of
Rev. Charles r. Mcdaniel, pastor of
the English Lutheran Church of that
city. They met last fall at a Palsade
party given at the FochtS' home. and
shortly after were secretly married.
having both concluded that they had
met their affinities. 1t was case of
love at first sight, and they concluded
to make the romance all the more ins
tense and sweet to their iearta Nv
surrounding 1t with the mystery OF
silence until matters could better
shape themselves for a public an
nOuncement of their plans. Young
Flack was still a student at Columbia
University. The young couple saw
each other frequently, but the close
ness which they kept their secret is
evidenced in the fact that not until
the day he was shot did their parents
know Of It, It was then that Miss
EIilllN focHl, ledFHlllP Oh tlle SHootlhS,
drove at once to Uoboken in their
car and took the young bride to the
side of her husband in EnglewOod
Hospital. She was naturally over
come at the great accident, but bore
herself with becoming fortitude dur
ing her husbands confinement, and
was with him every moment the sur
geons would allow. She is "a very
pretty and attractive young woman,
still well under twenty, and is an
artist of much promise. She has
vowed to devote herself to her art.
and to that end will take up a special
course very shortly.

Ladies' Aid and
Mission Societies

The February meeting of the Ladies'
Aid and Missionary auxiliary of the
Grantwood Congregational Church was
well attended at the home of Mrs. J.
Il. Fridlington in West Grantwood.
Mrs. c. Sheffield presided at the La
dies Aid
The missionary auxiliary, Mrs. n. G..
Cause, chairman, presiding, was most
ly devoted to business and the discus
sion of the recent address by Mrs.
Updike, the report of it being given
for the benefit of those who had not
heard her
1t was decided to write and ask her
for some work not so popular with
other churches and which would be a
real need.
AT Mrs: Causes suggestion it was
decided TO have a good speaker soon
and to have an afternoon tea with a
silver offering to which guests should
be invited
AT the Ladies Aid meeting, immedi-
ately after the missionary sitting, vari-
rous committees reported. The Sun
u
young member of the church a scarf
to embroider to relieve the tedium of
her convalescence Mrs. Streyckman
is chairman of this helpful committee.
The Calling Committee, Mrs Velsey,
chairman, reported twenty-one calls
made. The society has undertaken to
raise $3.50 on the note for the parson-
age and, having already sent $50 to
the church trustees, voted to send 500
in addition from the treasury.
In order to raise the remainder little
social affairs will probably be given.
1t was decided to have an afternoon
tea in March with some program and a
silver offering, Mrs NJ r. Benda being
chairman. As the vanilla extract sold
has been so good in quality, more has
been ordered. and Mrs. Thayer will
have it, the price being reduced from
30 cents to 81 cents.

Wal Ter FLACK DIES IN HOSPITAL
FROM SHOT FIRED BY BORCSTEDE;
VICTIM DID NOT SHOOT HIMSELF

over to County Detective Allyn. There
was in it yelled threat about GER
tain revenges he wanted to carry out,
indicating, also, that eff he had to go
he would carry some one else with
him." Major Flack says this letter was
clearly indicative of disOrdered state
of mind He says that if the law wants
to vindicate Borgstede and turn him
loose on the community, he is willing
but does not want him to come near
him or his family. Mr.. Lee, of the
Red Cross at the Polytechnic Hospital,
came to Palisade, after the shooting
and read the letter above referred to.
He was sure it came from a man un-
der very severe mental strain and when
he saw his nervous state said, "Roor
Boy"
The most puZzling thing about the
whole case is what influenced the
statement that Walter had shot him
self Young Flack verified this state
ment, evidently for the sake of pro-
tecting his friend Why did not Borg
stede stick to this statement? How
will this effect a jury in the face of
the declaration by Mr.. Ogden ON testi-
mony of his family that he is of normal
mind?
The funeral took place on Wednes-
day from theS Flack home in Palisade
being private except for special
friends and number of the dead
boys Columbia and fraternity brothers.
There was a wealth of floral tributes

Golden Apple to
High School Girl

Those who attended the second an
nual masquerade ball of the Alan Mutt
Post, American Legion, at Epiphany
Hall, Grantwood, Friday evening, Feb
ruary IL, are unanimous in their eX-
pressions of congratulation of those
through whose efforts so enjoyable an
evening was made possible.
The hall was prettitly decorated in
hearts and kewpies, in keeping with
the season, and touch of the national
cOlors in commemoration of the spirit
of the Legion heightened the effect
The task of selecting those entitled
to the various prizes was not easy, but
the judges committee, composed of
Messrs. Henry Reggeori, O'Reilly, Ken
ny and Miss Mulholand, agreed to
award a gold fountain pen to Mr.. S.
Longley for the funniest costume, a
Gillette safety razor to Mr.. Frank Nc
Loughlin, who impersonated hodcar-
rier as the most original; silk UNI
brella, the gift of Miss Mulholland, to
Miss Marie Interman for the prettiest
ladies' costume, and manicure set to
Mrs Frank Borrell for the funniest
woman character.
The gold prizes, in which a great
deal Of interest was displayed, were
awarded as follows:
Harry B. Doremus Post, American
Legion, $25; e. G. Waydell, University
Club, SIS; C. Louden, Grantwood, n. j.,
$40
Refreshments were served by the
Legion members, ably assisted by the
young ladies of Grantwood
A unique feature of the evenings en-
tertainment was the unfurling of a
handsome silk American flag, presented
to the Legion by Miss Belle Mulholland.
AT II o'clock the lights were dimmed,
and the gaieties temporarily ceased as
the orchestra played the national an
them. A spotlight was thrown on the
replica of the American Legion insignia
Isysa hiddep fan waited the American
Tag to the breeze.
Probably the one item which attract
ed most attention and which caused the
most trouble of the evening was the
task of selecting the most beautiful
girl present to be rewarded with a
handsome golden apple. Obviously
the name of the committee of judges to
make this decision has not been an
nounced, but one could behold in the
course Of the evening sharp looking
critics scrltiniZing the many eligibIeS
in their efforts to select the deserving
one. After careful bordering the de-
cisiOn was announced that the golden
apple was awarded to Miss Marie
Krebs, high school girl. The decision
was popularity received.
The committee in charge of arrange
ments consisted Of William SperIing,
chairman Thomas Fox, John Maho-
ney, John Quill, George LeClerq, Otto
Stein and Nicholas Mahoney, press

plaintiff in the Supreme Court Yesterday
in an action against her husband, Arch
ibald B. Gwathmey jr. Of Gwathmey &
Co., bankers and brokers, for IN ac-
counting of a $4,000 account which
her husband established for her with
his firm. Mrs. Gwathmey alleged that
through spcculations by her husband
the value of the account has deprecated
about $4,000.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gwathmey separated
few years ago. The wife testified
yesterday: "He said he was tired and
wanted me to divorce him, that he
would give me half of everything, he
possessed. He wanted to live alone.
to be free, to live his own life, he said
The separation followed"
Justice Lehman ruled that this testi
mony was not relevant to the issue.
which was when the account was closed
by order of Mrs. Gwathmey. On this
point the plaintiff said: "On June a.
1919, | told my husband I wanted nv
account closed, that he was getting too
nervous and irritable, and that it was
not doing him any good to speculate
for me. Mr.. Gwathmey told me the
account could not be closed for at least
two weeks"
The witness added that her husband
told her he had made "lot Of money"
for her in August, 1919. The trial will
be continued on Monday.
