The man was well dressed and ap-
parently a Russian or Pole of good
breeding and standing. 1t is believed
he died almost instantly as the body
was still warm when Chief of Police
Charles Eberwein reached 1t shortly
after being notified of Its presence
near the cemetery by several girls
who had been playing near the spot
and heard the shots.
According to the little girls, they
were playing near the cemetery
when they heard four shots fired in
rapid succession. They ran to the
spot from which the reports came
and found a well dressed, middle
aged man lying with his head down
in a ditch. Horror-strieken, the girls
ran away screaming. Their cries
drew the attention of residents in
that section and the chief of police
was notified at once.
1t is the belief of the detectives
that the murdered man carried in a
secret vest pocket a large amount
of money or important papers which
the man or men attacking him knew
about. Some change amounting 10
81. 90 in his pockets was not touched.
Neither were two rings which ne
wore or a moonstone necktie pin
The mans vest was slit. as IL by a
knife, by those attacking him III
order that whatever he had hidden
inside the lining might be taken. A
safety pin was still attached to the
vest. where it had closed the hidden
slit.
AS soon as Chief Eberwein arrived
on the scene he examined the body
and found the man to be dead. four
bullet holes being discernable in his
neck and skull. The chief at once
got in touch with County Detective
Ferd r. David who went to South
River TO investigate. A general alarm
was sent out to surrounding places
to be on the lookout for suspicious
characters.
The girls told the authorities they
had seen three men at noon who
were strangers in South River and
they were going in the direction of
the cemetery. 1t is possible the
murdered man was one of these
three, he being attacked by the
other two when the lonely spot near
the cemetery was reached.
The body of the man was remov-
ed to Mason's morgue in South AM
boy so that County Physician John

NEW BRUNSWICK. Oct. ST.
The search for Stella Ostroski. the
six-year-old girl who disappeared
from the vicinity of the Fresh Pond
school house last Tuesday afternoon,
was continued over the weekend but
no trace of the child has been dis
covered as yet. Saturday afternoon
the ponds and brooks in the district
were thoroughly dragged under the
direction of County Detective Ferd
A. David, without success.
The county authorities still feel
that there is little likelihood of kid
naping in connection with the girls
disappearance in view of the fact
that her parents are poor and there
would be no gain by such an act. De-
tective David thinks that the nervous
tendency of the child may have
caused her to fail to cry out when the
searchers' passed her and that she is
lost in the woods. Another theory ad-
vanced is that the child may have
died from exposure by this time. The
search is still being continued.

JOE ST. HILIARE
TO AGAIN BE SEEN
IN AUGUSTA SCRAP

Promoter John OBrien, having IN
mind the fine impression made upon
local fans by Joe St Hiliare of SOM
ellsworth. n. r., in his bout with
Silva several weeks ago. has matched
for Jan. 6 at City hall, the Granite
state boy against Jack Kelley Of
Erie, Pa, boy OF his own weight
and clever with the mits. This bout
promises to be humdinger and with
popular prices, City hall should be
thronged with fistic vans.
For n semi final Chick Wills the
local colored boy will attempt a
"vindication" scrap with Kid Sulli
van OF Lewiston. The Spindle city
lad handed the rock "a by baby tap
to Chick a few weeks ago but Chick
says it was lucky punch and is
confident he can do 1t in the regular
way to Sullivan. The winner of this
bout takes all and the loser none and
this fact indicates a warm set-to be-
tween these two.
For a curtain teaser Dottie Mari
will clash with George Gilbert. Jr.,
son OF the famous George, hero OF
1O1 battles without taking the count.
This certainly should prove an ap-
petizer for next Friday nights card
at City hall.
