MILFORD GRANGE

The regular Grange meeting will be
held on Saturday night, September %.
There is a possibility that the North
American Egg Laying Contest will
leave Milford. The Delaware State
Board of Agriculture is not certain
that the egg laying contest is a bene-
fit to the commercial poultrymen and
they are anxious to get the views of
the poultrymen and poultrywomen on
the subject. It is exceedingly impor-
tant that all the poultry people attend
this meeting and take part in a dis
cussion of the subject, for the fate of
the contest may hinge on the opinions
here.
A quartet Of ladies with sweet voices
will furnish the music.

SAYS HE HAS BEEN
WILLED 100000 ESTATE

Benjamin F. Postles, a local painter,
handed in an item to the Chronicle
Office this week, to the effect that he
had been left fortune of 100000 by
wealthy citizen of San Pedro, Calf.
According to Mr.. Postles his benefac-
tor was formerly a resident of the city
of Baltimore, Md, who became ac-
quainted with him several years ago
when he (Postles) saved the daughter
of the Marylander from drowning in
the Chesapeake Bay. POstles refused
to disclose the name Of man who has
left him the money, but says that he
has been advised by lawyer that
such is the case. If he has been cor
rectly advised, and the information
given him is not the work Of prac-
tical joker, he is to be congratulated
upon his good fortune.

PARALYZED FOR LIFE
Arthur Richardson Returns Home
After Two Months In Hospital.

Arthur Richardson, 4O6 East Ninth
street, Wilmington, who has been a
patient at the Jefferson Hospital in
Philadelphia suffering from a broken
back, sustained in an automobile ac-
cident between Rising Sun and Mag
nolia, on June II, returned to his home
on Saturday morning. Mr.. Richardson
was taken to Wilmington on Wilson
Line boat and taken to his home in the
police ambulance.
1t was stated at his home, while he
is expected to recover, Mr.. Richardson
will be an invalid for the rest of his
life, as he is paralyzed from the hips
down. The operation, which probably
saved his life, was performed by two
specialists on the Jefferson Hospital
staff, and the fact that he is living
today is a miracle, his spine being
broken in two places.
The accident in which Richardson
figured and that resulted in the death
of his father, Benjamin Richardson,
occurred when the machine in which
they were riding ran off the concrete
road and struck a bank on the side
of the road and overturned. Following
the accident he was brought to the
Milford Emergency Hospital where he
remained until taken to Philadelphia.
Milford chronicle., 1923-08-24
STEPPED ON BY HIS HORSE

Charles Donoho, of Lincoln City,
was badly injured on Tuesday even
ing at his home, when his horse step
ped upon his stomach, crushing the
bowels and causing a rupture. He was
brought to the Emergency Hospital in
Milford, where an X-ray picture was
taken, which showed a very serious
condition of the stomach and intes-
tines. The accident happened to Mr..
Donoho, who had recently been oper-
ated upon for a trouble which had left
him in poor physical condition, when
he had arrived home in his carriage
and had just released the horse from
that vehicle. He attempted to lead the
animal by a halter, when he slipped
and fell directly at the feet of the
horse. Before he could move the ami
NAL stepped directly upon Mr.. Dono-
no, with it's weight resting directly
upon the right side of the stomach,
which was smashed and bruised,
while the left side of the abdomen sus-
tanned a rupture. He was Immediately
brought to the Milford Emergency
where medical attention
was given promptly and the X-ray
picture taken, which shows the serious
injury to the stomach and bowels.

OLD VETERAN PASSES OVER

James Williams, aged IS years and
5 months, died at his home in Milford,
on Sunday, August 18th, 1928, as a re-
suit of a stroke of paralysis. He was
a veteran of the Civil War and an ac-
tive member of the Grand Army of
the Republic, of which only a few now
are living. He had resided in Della
ware all of his life, where he married
and raised family of children; all of
whom are getting on well in this
world. He married Miss Amanda
Roach, of Slaughter Neck, who sur
wives him. His oldest son is Edward
Williams, of Camden, N. J., who is the
assistant ferrymaster of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. His other son is Grant
Williams, who is the vehicular traffic
ticket seller at Market Street Ferry,
Philadelphia. The only daughter is
Mrs. Orion T. Cannon, of North Mil
ford. The funeral was held on Wednes-
day afternoon, from the late residence
and interment made in Odd Fellows
cemetery.

BATTERY F ARRIVES HOME
Milford Soldiers Made Good Record
At Camp Hamilton.

Battery F, in command of Captain
Harry j. Pettyjohn, arrived back in
Milford, Saturday evening, after two
weeks spent in intensive training at
Camp Hamilton, Long Island, N. Y.
The Milford boys had the finest tour
of duty since the reorganization of
the Delaware Regiment, and all of
them state that their work as outlined
at Camp Hamilton is exceedingly in
teresting. The Milford Company is a
machine gun unit, and this years work
was in schooling them in the use of
these guns in actual warfare. Practice
in shooting a small balloon with these
guns is fascinating, and the local boys
soon became very proficient in the art.
In a contest for shooting honors for
the regiment, Battery F, of Milford,
won first hOnOrs.
The Milford Company is composed
of young men who are interested in
their work, and they certainly did
make some showing this year at the
camp. The men were paid off last
night at the Milford Armory for their
two weeks tour of duty.

FIND GOLD Mine WHILE
RAZING DELMAR HOUSE
WOrkmen Uncover Bag Containing
$4,000 In Ancient Bank Notes
In Good Condition.

While workmen employed by c. A.
McCummOns were razing the store and
dwelling of Morton Newmyer on
Washington street, Delmar, Emory
Mitchell, foreman, found bag filled
with money, amounting to $4,000. The
money, was discovered between the
floors of the second and third stories
and was in denominations ranging
from $40 bills to 10 cents. Mitchell
handed the money over to Newmyer
The notes, all of which are in good
condition, are on National Banks
throughout the country. One $5 note
was of the series of 1868 and bears
the name Of the First National Bank
of Providence, Rhode Island.
Several months ago, the building
was partly destroyed by fire and for
this reason it was being torn down.
A new and up-to-date apartment house
will occupy the site. The building was
occupied by the Patterson family, who
sold it about 80 years ago, and it has
since been occupied by the families of
the late Thomas Wilson and Profess
sor Charles T. Wright. A few years
ago Newmyer bought the property.
