Phone Wire Saves Four

a guy wire from a telegraph pole
was all that prevented the large
touring car owned and driven by
Clarence Oliver of Bath from plung-
ing into the railroad cut known as
Deep Cut, about two miles west Of
Brunswick at l o'clock Sunday morn

and two young women, was on the
way from a dance at Lisbon Falls to
Freeport. Blinded by the heavy fog,
he failed to notice the sharp turn on
to the bridge, and struck telephone
pole with such force that it was
broken short off. The car then turn
ed completely over and started to roll
down the steep bank, when it was
brought up by a guy wire. If the
wire had been a few feet either side,
the car would have dropped twenty

HOT CAMPAIGN
FOR CARTERET
Both Parties Working Hard
for Success OF Candidates
at the Coming Election

CARTERET, Sept. 19.-Republi-
a and Democratic political leaders
in the town are busy working for
the success of their candidates. OF
more than particular interest to
Mayor Thomas j. Mulvihill is the
election of Hercules Ellis head of the
pattern department of the Wheeler
Condenser & Engineering Company
to the office of borough council. The
local Republicans have selected Ellis
from a long string of candidates be-
lieving that he would be the most
logical candidate to pull a big vote.
However the Republican leaders this
year are not relying on possibilities
and are working to see their choice
elected.
As for Councilman Frank Andres,
both Republicans and Democrats
have constantly expressed that he is
a hard man to beat. He has been in
office for many years and his eff
forts are appreciated. He lev fails
to win the reelection by a huge ma
jority.
The Democrats. personally led by
Former Mayor Joseph A. Hermann
this year are also running an intense
campaign. They have placed In the
field two well-liked candidates, Will
liam j. Lawlor and Edward Walsh
and realizing the strong opposition,
campaign work is on. Mayor Herman
is also interested in the election of
Maxwell Sosin, candidate for the

voted much of his efforts toward

CLUE FOUND IN GREAT
ROBBERY AT METUCHEN

METUCHEN, Sept. 19-The find
ing of a quantity of pig lead in Dis
NAL Swamp by railroad detectives
may be the means of u%ncovering the
wholesale robbery of a string of
freight cars on the Lehigh Valley
siding between Perth Junction and
the Port Reading tracks, some time
ago
Twelve ears left at that point for
transfer to another road are known
to have been tempered with, as it
has been learned that the seals were
broken and the ars entered. The
cars at the present time are in
transit to their destinations and it
is not known whether a part of
their contents are missing, though
one of the cars was known to con-
tain lead such as was found in the
vicinity. 4,
The railroad police have enlisted
the aid of the borough police in the
investigation of the case. During re-
cent months railroad thefts in this
vicinity have been kept down to the
minimum and the police are now
making an effort to break up the
practice entirely.
