Real Hailstones:
Large AS Base Balls

MIR. j. ID. Grandin of Anderson ave-
nue., Palisade, tells of remarkable
experience he had in violent hail
storm last Sunday about 2 80 o'clock
in Tuxedo. He drove away from Pail
SADIE at 1890 "a. M, with distant
thunder in the northwest. He had his
two children along in his limousine
car, together with his wife and sister,
in-law. When just a bit south of Tux
edo it began to rain, then to hail. At
first the hail did not bother them, but
little bit later the stones began to
grow in size, then suddenly increased
to the size of an egg or larger, then
larger still to baseball size.
Mr.. Grandin said here: my wind
shield was smashed to bits, and l was
cut on the hand. Strangely enough,
no one else in the car was cut by the
flying glass, though the pieces all went
inside. The children and ladies were
greatly excited, and, sighting a garage
near, l bOlted for it in hot haste. The
owner was standing out in front, how
ever, reckoning all car drivers to come
inside, and he must have taken in
thirty or forty automobiles. The roof
of the garage was cut through with a
hailstone as large as a baseball, and /
personally washed my hands in the
water that poured through the hole.
The rear right mud guard ON my car
had dent put in it by hailstone
that must have been a whopper. After
it was all over we knew we had had a
most unusual experience and one that
might easily have been very dangen-
ous."

Clifside Lodge
Moose Notes

The extension to the Grantwood
home of the Cliffside Park lodge OF
the Moose has been completed. In the
extension a large meeting room with
a stage and large dance hall have
been built.
Downstairs of the newly erected
hall there are bowling alleys and a
room where billiards and pool will be
n vogue.
Secretary Joseph Gennaro while in
conversation with a Palisadian re-
porter stated that the local ranks of
the Moose were growing fast.
1t is expected that it will be possible
to~play basketball in the new dance
hall.
Several of the boys are striving to
get together in order that a Moose
band and orchestra can be organized.
= Michael Gerabasi is now trying to
keep in the lead of getting new mem
bers into the local lodge.
But the admirers of Morris Bloom
berg claim that the Cliffside brother
is in class by himself when it comes
to getting new members.
The Moose clubhouse certainly
catches the eve of many a motorist
driving along Anderson avenue.
1t is the desire of the Moose mem
bers to make the local lodge the lead
ing one of the state.

Attempt to Rob
Payroll in Daylight

A bold attempt to hold up Ell. w
Furman, owner Of the Englewood
stone quarry, just north of Walton
street, Englewood, shortly before noon
Saturday was frustrated when Mr..
Furman, with payroll of 500 in
cash, abandoned his automobile and
ran for help to house some blocks
away. Two men, one of whom pulled
a gun, and who attempted the bold
daylight robbery, escaped and are now
being sought by the Englewood police.
Mr.. Furman had gotten the Satur-
day payroll and was on his way to the
quarry, which is in a lonesome spot
east of Broad avenue and northeast of
Walton street.
One of the men thereupon rushed
out from the dense wood on the side
of the road and pulled heavy revol-
yer from his hip pocket. Mr.. Furman
jumped from his machine before the
man said anything, called for help and
ran down the roadway to house sew
eral blocks away, where he called the
Englewood police on the telephone.
Chief John J. Pye and Motorcycle
Officer Webb answered the call, and,
although they secured the woods and
nearby territory, they were unable to
get any trace of the bandits.-Record

Five Children Hurt
By Wild Motorcycle

John Marzello of Sc Cedar street,
Paterson, who is accused of running
down and severely injuring five small
children on Fair street, Hackensack,
last Sunday with his side car motorcy-
Gle and who ran away after the acct
dent, was arrested at noon Tuesday by
County Detective Garrett A. Dawson
and taken to the sheriff's office, where
So, 800 bail was furnished by Michael
Mancini for his appearance when
wanted.
The reason for his nonappearance is
given out as being due to the fact that
he was painfully injured when the ma
chine ran into the brick wall and be-
lieving that he would not receive prop
er care if confined in jail. Another
reason for his running away was that
he was afraid of being roughly ham
died by the Infatuated parents of the
injured ones, who soon Congregated on
the scene of the accident.
Counsellor Joseph II. Gaudielle, who
has been retained to look after the in
terests of John Marzello, appeared be-
fore Prosecutor A. G. Hart, and at his
request bail was fixed at 81, 500.
The injured children are improving.

life. Captain Borrell later arrived,
and they took her to the North Hud-

came so violent that the hospital au-

her behavior. Captain Borrell had
commitment papers made out, and she
was sent to the county Jail at Hacken-
sack, where she was held in $500 bail.

Neadler in Field
For Councilman

Many friends of Fred V. Neadler of
Cliffside were glad to hear his deci-
sion to run for the council board this
fall.
Mr.. Neadler is to run on the Demo-
cratic ticket. From his past record he
feels he is thoroughly competent to re-
gain position that he held for eight
cen years.
Mr. Neadler is one of the pioneer
residents of the borough, having lived
here for twenty-nine years. Besides
this he was one of the organizers of
the borough. He has served in the
capacity of tax collector and was chief
of police for two terms.
While on the council board he was
active in the building of new roads,
especially Palisade avenue, which is a
fine job.

With Newsp'er Men

Senator w. B. Mackay, Jr., had an
outing on Saturday, being one of the
special invited guests at the annual
shore dinner of the Plea Club, COM
posed of newspaper men of Bergen,
Passaic and Sussex counties, served at
the always attractive Sterling Forest
Inn, Greenwood Lake
Senator Mackay was introduced to
all the newspaper men and all the Pas
sale county officials, most of whom
knew he was candidate for governor
and just boosted the thing along. He
made a distinct hit with all of them,
and when in his brief address-all had
to be brief-he took occasion to re-
mark that the average newspaper was
the moulder of public opinion he re-
ceived instant applause. The senator
was in his usual jovial mood and told
some stories that were entertaining.

Fort Lee A. G. Beat
Colored Giants

The. game between the Fort Lee
Athletic Club and the Colored Giants
was featured by the heavy hitting of
the Fort Lee boys. Mahoney hit a
home run and was later robbed of a
sure home run by the spectacular
catch of Walter Jones, center fielder
of the Giants. Another strong feature
was the double of Happy Christoff in
the ninth with two on base when the
winning run was scored. The game
was played before one of the largest
crowds of the season, who enjoyed the
game despite the weather.

Englewood Man
browns in Hudson

Herman Schleter, aged twenty-five
of Lake street, Englewood, married
was drowned while swimming at Haz-
ards Beach on Thursday afternoon.

and frantically shouted for help as he
went under. George Hassler, a life
guard, secured the body and started
for shore, when four swimmers, who
tried to aid him in his pull for shore,
broke his hold and the body was los'

was used for an hour and five minutes,
but without success.

J. w. Reial, formerly of Crescent

Commissioner Stanton in Hoboken on
the charge of impersonating revenue
officer and trying to bride P. Celia,
proprietor of Cella's Fort Lee Hotel.

on October 81, 1920 but he was able
to give the police of that place in
formation that was found to be true
by the local force.

On June 16 last there was an alter
cation in front of the Palisade Post
Office building between Charles Z. Lo-
gan, editor Of The Palisadian, and Os-
car Meirowsky, a resident of Palisade,
living in Dearborn road. While Mr.
Logan was talking to Joseph Wolpert
on the west side of his store, MeirOw-
SKY came rushing up to him with arms
'uplifted, his eyes afiame and saying,
Il have something to say to your
Mr.. Logan calmly replied, when l
get through talking with this gentle
man you can say what you desire"
He had his bicycle with HIM, laid it to
one side and then, addressing Meirow-
Sky, asked him what he wanted Again
Meirowsky raised his hands and said,
You are a GOd-damn scoundrel,"
whereupon Mr.. Logan struck him sew
eeral times in the face and knocked
him down. Officer Rosenstengel and
other bystanders, interfering at the
time, separated the two men. MeirOw-
sky also struck Mr.. Logan on the
shoulder and neck several times.
RosenStengel reported the case on the
police blotter at Fort Lee and the two
men were summoned to appear before
Recorder Cook in Fort Lee on Thurs
day night, June %. Both parties were
present, MeiroWSky with an attorney
and Mr.. Logan alone, although Lawyer
Joseph Marini of Grantwood appeared
when the case was called and volun-
tpQrQd bic cnrxr6ac in hnhn1f of Nv.
Logan. The case was postponed for
one week at the request of Mr.. Logan,
and on the pOstponement date the
case was again postponed for two
weeks at the request of MeirowSky's
lawyers. When the latter date APP
peared postponement was asked by
both sides on account of the absence
of witnesses. The case came up Thurs
day night of last week before Record
oer Cook and again was postponed
at Meirowsky's request, though Mr.
Logan was on hand ready for the
hearing.
On June 81 Mrs Dorothy Meirowsky
sent to Mr.. Logan the following let
ter:
threat TO 7oTScWnlP EOitof
June %.
To Mr.. Logan:
This is to assure you, quite eX-
plicitly, that if my name or the name
Meirowsky appears in any way in the
stupid and illiterate sheet you print 1
shall at once and publicly horsewhip
you.
A number of prominent residents of
Palisade, disguised by your mean ly-
ing and your malice, have asked to
accompany me to make sure the job is
we'll done.
You ran away to escape part. of the
beating Mr.. Meirowsky was giving YOU
You will not be able to run fast
enough to escape my horsewhipping.
I am sorry to have to write in this
vein to person of your age. But if
you expect the consideration usually
accorded old age you must try to
practice the truthfulness and upright
ness we expect of old age.

On June % Oskar MeirOwsky sent
to Mr.. Logan the following letter:
MeiroWsky Sends Insulting Letter

Palisade, N. J., June %, 1921.
Mr.. G. L. Logan, Palisade, n. j.:
Sir-I herewith forbid you to use
my name in any way whatsoever in
the sheet with which you annoy Pail
SADIE.
Disregard of this request will result
in the most drastic legal action which
the circumstances will justify.
My attorney is preparing action
against you for the attack which you
made On me, without warning, while
1 had glasses on, and also for the sour
rilous lies which you circulated in
your sheet, and which were only re-
Gently brought to my attention.
Although it is said that you are not
worth a penny and financially ire
sponsible, / shall have my attorney
proceed against you nevertheless, be-
cause / deem it public duty to do
what I can towards stopping your lies.

To neither of the above letters was
a reply sent.
1t is interesting to note in this con-
nection that two German citizens of
Palisade appeared at the recorders
court with the. Meirowskys-in what
capacity was not made apparent.
In connection with the case it is
interesting to note that Senator VIII
liam Mackay, Jr, of Hackensack sent
Mr.. Logan personal communication
to call upon his firm to represent him
in the case without charge, Lawyer
Joseph Marini of Cliffside having done
the same thing.
