Sarnnnis Home Hit
By Lightning

The Warren i. Sammis home in
Edgewater Heights Park was struck by
lightning and set afire during the
thunder storm on Monday evening.
This happened at seven thirty. Due
to the quick response of the borough's s
fire companies to the alarm, the dam
age was but slight.
While Foreman John McGrath of
Hook and Ladder No. l was loosening
some burning boards with his axe
while on ladder. a gale blew the
ladder and McGrath chopped a chunk
of flesh off his leg.
He was Immediately taken in ma
chine to a nearby doctor and his wound
dressed.
1t was another case where it was
proven that two pieces of fire appa-
ratus with pumps certainly save local
taxpayers big money. Without the aid
of the pumps this fine large Sammis
home would surely have burned to the
ground.

Edgewater Man
Held in Auto Theft

Willard Waters, twenty-one, a chauf-
feur, of Edgewater, N. j., and George
'Obringer, twenty-six, of 1866 Amster-
dam avenue, were arraigned in Wash
ington Heights Court Tuesday and held
in $1,000 bail each following their ar
rest in Harrison, N. Y, charged with
having a stolen automobile in their
possession.
The car, belonging to Nathan Ep-
stein of 1145 Vyse avenue, the Bronx,
was stolen June 26 from One Hundred
and Twenty-seventh street and Sew
enth avenue. Waters and Obringer
driving the car, were stopped on June
20 by motorcycle policeman in Rye,
N. Y, who gave them a summons for
speeding. Waters gave 500 and the
following day the two appeared in
court and Waters was fined $40
On the same day, after crashing
with trolley car in Harrison, they
became abusive and were arrested

Ex-Service Thief
Victirnizes Palisade

Palisade has been victimized by a
young devil of villain, a chap who
came here several months ago and
posed as an eX-seryice man and also
as deaf and dumb. He had to write all
his talk out on paper and got his infor-
nation the same way. He gave his
name as Frank Rose and was first en-
ployed by Mrs. Marcus, who, because
OF his exceptionally fine record and his
skill as a faithful worker around the
house and grounds, was taken up by
several families and given work. Rose
worked for the Hunickes, the Hodgins,
the Frews, the GoOdmans, the Sagers,
the Speyers and last with the Reisen-
bergers, living in Abbott boulevard
near Bluff road. The young fellow so
ingratiated himself into the good
graces of the Reisenbergers that they
offered him room in their attic, which
he was apparently happy to receive,
and he remained for some time. On
Wednesday of last week when the
Reisenbergers were out for part of the
day, Mr.. Frank Rose "borrowed" a
fine new black patent leather suitcase,
loaded it up with every sort of valu-
able belonging he thought was worth
while carting away, then went off to
another cline, since which time he has
not sent even a postal card of remem-
brance or appreciation for the hospi-
tality of his generous friends in Pali-
SADIE.
Rose excited the sympathy of the
Palisade folk he served, and all of
them felt sorry for the poor ex-soldier
boy. No one was able to communicate
with him except by writing ON a pad
he carried. He answered the same
way Mr. Reisenberger posted the case
with the police, but the young man was
so great an artist that he left no trail
And there are some who do not be-
| lieve he was deaf and dumb and others
have wondered how smart he would
have been If he had always enjoyed al
of his faculties. Some simulator.
What Rose took from the Reisen.
bergers included the new suitcase, tive
gold watches, two pearl necklaces, a
tuxedo coat, fine fur sets (twO), the
whole being worth over $500; insured

BOrrelli Elected
To Lead Two Teams

For the first time in the history of
Cliffsiae Park High School one athlete
has been named as captain of two
teams. This occurred when the men,
bers of the baseball squad elected
Nicholas Borrelli as their leader. Last
fall the same lad was elected captain
of the football team.
Borrelli will be a senior when the
fall term opens at the Cliffside school.
He has stood out as brilliant ath-
lete in basketball and track, as well
as in the fields where he has been
elected as leader.
Although the football team was the
only real contender for a title turned
out by the Cliffside school this year
the prospects for the athletic repre-
sentatives of the Crimson and Black
for next year are exceedingly bright
There will be number of veterans
in competition for places on all the
squads and these should form a nu-
cleus for dependable combinations to
defend the local honors as well as they
have in the past.

Service Wires Fall
Without Warning

{ On Monday last while workmen were
busy on top of a new house now un-
der construction in Bluff road near
Dearborn road, guy wire sustaining
a Public Service pole carrying electric
light and telephone wires, broke and
the pole fell nearly to the ground, tear
ing out the telephone wire of the
logan house which was connected up
with the pole near the Frew home.
The Public Service was notified at
once and they sent an auto repair
wagon around to straighten up the
pole
who did this?' was the first thing
the ssead man Of the. repair wagon
tasked. He was told that 1t just fell
of its own accord.

Wednesday.
