Boys Charged With
Reckless Shooting
Several Ua1e Narrow Escapes From
the Flying Bullets.

Lambertville Complaints have
been filed with Mayor Moonan and
the New Jersey State Police sta
toned here against the irresponsible
boys who have been discharging
firearms along the river front. The
complaints were made by New Hope
residents who have had narrow es-
capes from bullets fired across the
river from the Lambertville side.
Last Tuesday, Mrs. John Folins-
bee narrowly escaped being struck
while taking her children to school
along the River road. She heard
the report of the rifle and the bullet
came So close to her face she heard
the angry buzz that accompanied it.
Her CONSERVATION was observed by
the crowd of boys who did the shoot
ing, and their jeers indicated that
the shooting was malicious.
Moore Price, Sloan Bredin and
Mrs. Robert Spencer have all COM
plalheu OF the matter, Tor they are
kept in constant fear of the stray
bullets. The State Police assured
them that the guilty parties will
be apprehended and prosecuted to
the full extent of the law. Parents
whose children have firearms are
warned that unless they want them
sent to Jail they had better take
the guns away from them. The
accidental shooting of one boy here
during the summer should be suf-
fcient warning against parents al
loiwn gtheir children to have fire
arms, and in view of this the State
Troopers are determined to deal
severely with all offenders.

THE new THEATRE ASSURED
FOR CITY OF LAMBERTVILLE

False-TeHs of Steps Taken To Make
Its Early Construction Possible.

Mr.. George B. Ten Eyck, president
of the United Theatres Corporation
which is building the Ten Eyck Or
pheum in Bambertville, called at the
Record" office last Friday and
made the following statement:
"A number of rumors have come
to me which appear to be propa-
ganda circulated by persons who,
perhaps, would rather not see the
Ten Eyck 0rpheum Theatre built
in Lambertville. | desire to make
a statement now that will settle all
of these rumors once and for all.
II have been told that it lis being
said i'll Lambertville that the 0rph-
cum property on Bridge Street is
only secured by an option which will
not be exercised unless sufficient
stock is sold to buy the property and
construct the theatre. To this ru-
NOR | reply that the deed for the
property on Bridge Street is now re-
corded in the office of the County
Clerk of Hunterdon, located at
Pennington. where it can be seen
by any persons who may desire to
do SO, and further the Ten Eyck
Orpheum Theatre at Lambertville
will be constructed in accordance
with the plans already completed
! whether or not a single share of
stock is sold.
Il have been told that it has been
rumored in Lambertville that the
Public Market located at 81 Bridge
Street has long lease on its store
and will not vacate until the expir-
alton of said lease.
Il reply to this rumor by repro
ducing the copy of notice to va
cate served ON C. NJ Twomey as
follows:
To C. M. Twomey, 81 Bridge

possession thereof, to me, on
that day.

o MOST WISE JupeEI

The wisdom that was SoIomon's 10
reflected in the decision of a Phila-
delphia judge that a boy who gets a
baseball In the bleachers and keeps Il
is not guilty Of larceny. 1t is. as the
good judge says. but a natural i'm
pulse for a lad In the bIeachers TO
claim as his property any fouls that
come whizzlng into his hands, says
the Milwaukee Journal. It Is, indeed,
as natural as sneaking into Farmer
Browns eornfied for sun-browned
tassels to smoke as he lies under the
old culvert and watches the white
clouds go drifting through the blue.
Although modern supervised play is
unquestionably more beneficial for
oungsters-what with its boy scouts
and scientific moral training-we can
not but think that boyhood has lost
something in the new age with no
white horses to be stamped" no
tempting apple wagons, no little wood
sheds to hide away in with an old
fashioned oil lamp by which to read
of Indians biting the dust.

BANDITS STAGE
DARING HOLD-UP;:
BOUNTY IS $4,000
Three Bank Messengers Are
Wounded in Sensational
Street Battle.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
TORONTO, Ont, July 2i.-
Shooting down three bank mes
sengers on a crowded Toronto
street, six automobile bandits
fed today with a bag containing
$4,000 in cash.
The sensational hold-up occurred at
a crowded corner with pedestrians
held spell ll-bound, some too frightened
to run. looking on. Others caught in
the fusillade Of bullets flung them
selves face downward on the cobble-
stones
The messengers from the Sterling
Bank turned, into one of Toronto's
main streets just as the bandit car
swered up to the curb.
Two of the ho1d-up men leaped out
and ran toward the messengers while
others opened fire. A moment later
two bandits and two messengers were
rolling in a hand-to-hand struggle,
while over their heads other messen-
gers and bandits kept up a. steady fire.
The robbers car moved slowly along
the street, it's occupants firing until
three Of the messengers were dis
abied.
After a brief burst Of firing on
both sides had died down and only
excited shouts of spectators and the
roar Of the exhaust of the bandit car
took up the turmoil, the robbers were
back in their auto with a satchel con-
tanning $500 in cash.
The car made its way through q
congestion of confused traffic without
any one attempting to arrest It's
progress and a few minutes later was
reported speeding westward on the
Hamilton highway.
The three messengers injured are
James Harris, Standard Bank, two
wounds in thigh and abdomen; A. F.
Duck, Bank Of Commerce, gun shot
wounds; David Campbell, Stirling
Bank, wounded in left shoulder.
Allen Ward, pedestrian, was in
jured when ne fell during a scuff1e
with the bandits.
