Assailant
Cannot Be Found

With a warrant for arrest on the
charge of assault. the sheriff's force
last night was endeavoring to locate
Tom Lowe. a well-known citizen and
q former member of the city council
Lowe is wanted for what is claimed
to be an uuproyoked assault on Dave
Mclean, the veteran deputy sheriff
and a former sheriff of White Pins
county. The incident happened OF
Aultman street Friday evening and
there were numerous spectators.
Ii is said that Deputy Sheriff Nc
Lean had recently served attachment
papers in an Official capacity on Lowe
covering an automobile owned by the
latter. According to report, when
Lowe passed Mclean on the street
the ex-councilman is alleged to have
said to the officer: Il have a good
mind TO knock your brains out"
Mclean is reported to have replied
We'll. why don't you go to it,"
Whereupon Lowe went to it and
knocked the deputy sheriff to fall
Physically 1t is said Mr.. Mclean
was not injured seriously, although
he was considerably bruised by the
unexpected fall and the shock was
something to be reckoned with, as
the blow was sudden and delivered
before the older man had any sort
OF a chance to defend himself.
The incident has created a lot of
comment and as Mr.. Mclean has a
lot of friends and is getting along in
years and not given to going about
looking for trouble, the consensus of
opinion is that the action Of Lowe was
unwarranted and inexcusable.
Lowe slipped out of sight immcdi-
ately after making the assault and
has not been seen since.

irregular and unsatisfactory kind. 1t

40 Camp MERIT
Buildings Burn

Some forty of the big wooden build
ings at Camp Merritt were burned
Sunday night, the loss being stated at
$4,000, uninsured. An Englewood
building firm, Harris Brothers Com
pany, owned the buildings, and they
were being gradually taken down for
building purposes. No one knows how
the fire occurred, though the county
prosecutor says he is almost sure it
was the work of an incendiary. The
blaze was about as large as any ever
seen in the county, and had New York
guessing what was up. Fire compa-
MES from all of the nearby villages
sent their apparatus to the fire, but
it could not be used, owing to the
complete lack of water. One wonders
what might have happened had the
fire taken place during the war.

f. NJ. Caffall, the Palisade water
PROBING magician, has been given the
contract for protecting Plymouth Rock
from decay. The great monument TO
the landing of the Pilgrims was begin
ming to show signs of disintegratien, so
Mr.. Caffals fame having become so
world wide in his line of endeavor, he
was called In to arrest the decay,
which he no doubt will do in short or
der 1t will be recalled that when the
Egyptian obelisk In Central Park be-
gan to show signs of talking Mr.. CAT
fall quickly stopped it, and the great
curio that was brought to this country
by james Gordon Bennett as a gift to
the American people was saved
An interesting thing in connection
with this work is the taking of a NOV
ing picture showing Mr.. Caffall apply
ing the parafine protection to the rock.
In addition to the historic interest con-
nected with the work the publicity
value to Mr. Caffall will be tremen-
dous. He deserves it If ever u man

Palisade Woods
In Very Bad Blaze

1t is surmised that some small bows
set hire to the woods down near the
Palisade Fairgrounds last Wednesday
evening just at nightfall, and they
came near doing some serious damage.
1t is not known just who the guilty
ones are, but some four or five young
sters who claimed they discovered the
woods on fire came driving through
Cumbermede road yelling Fire Fire !
Fire " to beat the band. But not one
of them went down to put the fire out
or to help in doing it, A citizen,
however, seeing the proximity of the
fire to the two new houses just north
OF DR.. Nilson's, rode down on his wheel
and put the whole long string of fire
out after the most strenuous effort with
brush. Whoever set the leaves on
fire did risky piece of business, for
they set the fire in two places one on
top of the high ground overlooking the
Fairgrounds, the other near the two
new houses in Cumbermede road. The
fact that the fire was set i'm two places
was the one suggestive thing that
drew attention to the fact that the
work was done Intentionally. There
are some who believe that small boys
are the original sire worshipers," and
it is not difficult to understand
The police are making an investigation
of. the fire.

CL|FFS|DE HIGH FILLED TO SEE
MISS THAYER AND Mr.. L0NCLEY
IN fine PHYSICAL CULTURE WORK

A capacity attendance crowded the
high school gymnasium last Monday
evening to witness an excellent exhibit
ton of the work being performed in
the local school under the direction
of Mr.. S. LOngley and Miss Alice
Thayer, the physical training instruc-
tors of the local institution.
The program was carefully arranged
AMI included almost all the features
of practical importance i'm a modern
comprehensive course of physical
training. Among the many events
which attracted attention and which
were heartily endorsed by an enthusi-
astic reception on the part of an in
terested audience We're the dumbell
drill, the wand and freehand drills and
the folk and character dances.
The precision and snap with which
these events We're executed were COM
1nendable and too much credit cannot
be given to Mr.. Longley and Miss
Thayer, through whose efforts the ex-
hibition was made possible.
Through the instrumentality of a
humorous sketch the boys were en-
abled to display their proficiency in
tumbling and character Interpretation,
and their efforts were favorably re-
ceiyed by the spectators.
In the dances the girls displayed con-
siderable grace and ease and reflected
the beneficial results of the years
work
The program concluded with Sc
ries of races in which all four classes
We're represented.
The more mature senior boys were
too speedy for their younger brothers
in all except one race, while the
senior girls were victorious in all of
-.1efr races.
The evening ended with dancing
and was greatly enjoyed by all who
attended.

Maj. McClave Talks
On Bridge Wonders

Palisades eX-service men were the
hosts at smoker given last Tuesday
evening in the Union Church of Pail
SADIE by the julius Zanette Post of the
American Legion to the male residents
of the village.
Maj. S. Wood McClave of Edgewater
Heights, the speaker of the evening,
was introduced by II. r. Brown. Mr..
Brown expressed his appreciation of
the true community spirit manifested
by the legion in arranging the smoker
and then presented Major McClave
as one who, because of his military
record and his thirty-six years resi-
dence in this section of the state, was
particularly fitted to address such u
meeting.
Major McClave spoke chiefly of the
proposed gigantic bridge which will
span the Hudson and link Manhattan
island to the continent by way of New
Jersey. His close association with
Mr.. Lindenthal, who is recognized as
the greatest builder of bridges in the
world, and who has played a promi-
nent part in drawing up plans for the
proposed structure, made what he had
to say especially interesting.
The preliminaries will occupy from
eighteen months to two years. Power
full opposition on the part of the rail-
roads has changed to cooperation, a
Committee of One Hundred of the
most prominent men of the nation, in
Guiding President Samuel Rhea of the
Pennsylvania railroad; Charles NJ.
Schwab and General du Pont, are be-
hind the proposition, and the bridge
should be in operation in from eight to
ten years, Major MeClave stated. He
concluded by describing the brige as 1t
will be when finished as compared with
the East river bridges.
The committee in charge of the en-
tertainment, with the aid of Com
mander Harry Elkan, had been for
tunate enough to secure the enr.;ices OF
an excellent sleight of hand man, who
did everything with a deck of cards
except to make the pasteboards talk
The entertainment wound up with the
projection of two educational motion
pictures, one dealing with various
methods of craftsmanship and the other
showing in excellent detail the process
of combustion of an automobile engine.
George D. Roedels spoke briefly on
the progress made by the Palisade
Theater Corporation, which proposes
to erect a building at Palisade juno
ton which will contain, in addition To
an auditorium, meeting hall, stores
and offices. He urged the Importance
of such an enterprise and pointed out
the strategic location that had been
selected.
Including the legion members, there
We're about fifty at the smoker. The
principal object in having it was to
enable the men of the town to meet
the eX-service men and to become bet
ter acquainted among themselves, but
only very small number of the newer
residents took advantage of the occa-
sion.
The committee provided refresh
ments and tobacco in abundance and
the members alternated in furnishing
the music during the showing of the
pictures.

Vincent B. Kelly
Ill From Painting

Vincent B. Kelly, president of the
Palisade Improvement Association, was
taken i'll on Tuesday last with an at
tack of fainting from, which he had
suffered some months ago in his office
at the New York Evening World. This
time he was taken to the Englewood
Hospital, where, after having medical
attention, he was later brought home
in the A. w. Tams car. He soon re-
covered from the attack, however. and
was much improved on Thursday, be-
ing able to be up and around. His
many friends hope for a permanent
restoration to robust health again.
