Accidently Killed

Arthur Grant, eighteen year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. ii. Grant, who live
a few miles east Of POcahOntas, was
shot and instantly killed at the home
of his brother-in-law, Clyde Turner,
last Sunday morning, according to re-
ports reaching this Office Monday.
Particulars regarding the affair as
near as we can gather are that young
Grant and a companion, named Othen
Conway. who says his home. is at
Lake City, were in room at the Turn
er home cleaning a couple OF pistols.
A shot rang out and when members Of
the family entered the room Arthur
was lying on the floor in dying con-
tiition with a bullet wound In his
right breast. The Conway boy stated
that Grant had aecidently killed him
self.
A coroner's jury was summoned,
however, and Esq. ]. A. Douglass
went over and conducted an examin-
alton. The verdict of the jury was
that Arthur Grant came TO his death
by a pistol shot gun in his own
hands. The weapon from which the
bullet was fired is said to have been a
80 Smith & wesson. Physicians say
the bullet entered his right breast and
lodged near his heart.
The remains OF the unfortunate man
were laid to rest in the Surridge
graveyard Tuesday morning, religious
services being conducted by Bro. Min
Carroll.

$4,000 VICTIMS DEAD

Were you ever in Augusta, Maine? If not, you have
certainly heard a lot about this town.
Suppose, when you picked up todays newspaper, you
read that the more than 14,O00 people who 1--we IN Augusta
had been killed overnight, every one of them. A sensatlon1
Decidedly. People would talk about it for generations.
Auto traffic accidents in 1922 killed as many Americans
as the total population Of Augusta-over 1900.
The auto victims were killed gradually, one by one,
about 3 a day. That's why the years death toll creates less
excitement than if the same number OF people were killed
simultaneously in one community.
If the entire population of Augusta were killed OH over
night or in a year, by any means entirely or even partly
preventable, there'd be a great public reaction to prevent a
recurrence of the catastrophe. Spurred by the disaster, even
Congress would speed up to pass any necessary measures.
For years the National Safety Council and other or
traffic code, or national traffic code, but without success.
Congress isn't enough interested. Neither are the people.
Such a code wouldn't pervent all the auto fatalities
But it would help nightly. Keep this in mind. Back 1t.
Tell your friends.
While we are on the subject, it'd be an excellent thing
for every auto driver to keep in mind that the auto IN America
yearly kills as many people as live in Augusta, Maine.
More than 14,000l
Will your car kill one of this years 14,OOOf
Or will you be one of the $4,000 victims?
Drive carefully, remembering that constant and personal
caution is the greatest safety device.
Pedestrians should exercise the same alertness in cross
ing the streets.
Everything you do to help hold down the auto accident
toll, protects YOUR lie as well as others. And ii We don't
check this rapidly growing evil, it'll wind up IN a charac-
teristically American reaction of extreme severity.
If Indifferent about your life, jaywalk.
If indifferent whether you kill some one else, drive
recklessly.

Also the Simpson Methodist church,

DESERVED PRAISE FOR THE POLICE

The Perth Amboy police were given wel[deserVed praise by
Judge Kirkpatrick in the county court yesterday when he SEN
fenced Joseph Davis to from six to twelve years in prison for an
assault with attempt to rob, made upon a merchant IN this city.
The loan shop where the assault was made is located in Smith
street in the heart of the business section. 1t was one of the most
brazen attempts at a hold-up that could be imagined. The assailant
escaped, but through the excellent work Of the local police, he was
soon captured, and such a strong case of circumstanhal evidence
was built up against him that there was not the slightest doubt in
the minds of the jurymen as to his guilt. 1t speaks well for the
police department and reflects credit upon the city. by MS words
Of commentator Judge Kirkpatrick has encouraged the men to
still greater effort in unfolding the reputation thus attained.

ANOTHER HOUSE BLOCKS THE STREET

Once more the main streets of the city are being blocked by
the moving Of an old house, the value of which does not begin to
equal the general loss to the city because OF such operations ltl IS
"a be hoped that the Board Of Aldermen will refuse to permit any
more such movings in the heart of the city, at least. Traffic on the
main business thoroughfares is too important and the volume of
business too great these days to tolerate such a nuisance. In the
early days Of the city the moving of buildings was a sign of
progress; today it is sign of backwardness and Indifference.
Perth Amboy has outgrown this sort of thing. 1t ought not to be
permitted any longer.
