CREPE ON DOOR OF MAN
MUCH ALIVE BRINGS FINE

ROSENHAYN, N. J., May 3d.
Claiming that Jacob Fisher placed a
card containing a notice of his death
on his home and crepe and flowers
over the door, whereas he was very
much alive and well, Joseph Mosko-
WITT had Fisher arrested and Justice
of the Peace Lewis had an unusual
case to decide.
Moskowitz went to Newark for a
visit and said he found the trappings
Of death upon his home on his re-
turn.
Fisher did not deny putting the
flowers upon the building, but claim
ed that the card announcing the &C.
pants death was already there. He
said that Muskowitz owed him dol
lar and that when he read the sign
he thought the dollar was gone, so
he placed the flowers there.
Justice Lewis fined Fisher one
dollar and costs and then put a SINH
lar fine on Muskowitz, telling both
tc keep the peace hereafter and to
do away with the enmity which has
existed between them.
