RAZORS FLASH IN
DRUNKEN BRAWL
Midnight Booze Party Nearly Ends
In Tragedy.

James Giacomozzi, of Third street,
was probably never as close to
death as he was on Sunday night
when he was severely slashed with a
razor in the hands of Felely Ferry.
Giacomozzi claims that Ferry enter
ed his house about twelve O'Clock
Sunday night, while q party was in
full swing and demanded a drink.
When told there was nothing in the
place to drink, Ferry, it is alleged
started to break up the party.
Jimmie" tried to pacify him and
succeeded in getting him outside and
it was then that the razor flashed into
view and without warning. Ferry
slashed Giacomozzi across the face
and shoulder.
He was rushed to the office of DR..
Scott, who had to take seven stitches
in the mans wound.
When asked how he happened to be
cut Jimmie replied, II fell on brok-
en- bottle" Officer Stevenson was
called and upon questioning him
found the real truth of the story.
A warrant was sworn out by jim
mic and Ferry was arrested by Stew
enson in his home on Third street.
He was taken before Justice of the
Peace Harry McCloskey, who held
him under $500 bail for court. Ferry,
at the hearing denied any knowledge
Of the affair, saying he had retired
at 8 o'clock. Bail was furnished by
his brother, Alfonso.

Dear Folks:

February 18th" Esther Jean Run
yam Trio"
March 11th-A. L. Flude, 10000

Two kinds of tickets have been
printed and are now on sale by all
the teachers of the Methodist
Sunday School. The season ticket
entities the holder to attend all
these entertainments. The single adj
nilsson ticket entities the holder to
attend any one of the performances
The season ticket is by far the
cheaper in the long run, and the
committee hopes you will buy season
tickets because we feel confident that
when you have attended one of these
entertainments you will want to SEE
the rest, and as the number of tic
kets is limited it may be impossible
for you to procure tickets after the
first performance.
The program for the first enter
tainment will be ready soon, ano
then / can ten you more about it
but let me say now that present in
dications are that "Home Talent
Night" is going to make hit.
Yours for good time,

BEVERLY DROPS REXALL
IN TOUGH STRUGGLE
Win Glass b Championship Before
Record Crowd.

The local football team defeated
the Riverside Rexall club in close
and exciting game before the largest
crowd that has witnessed a gridilon
battle in this town within the past
ten years. The game waas fast and
furious with many a nerve-racking
moment for the adherents of both
sides.
The first two periods ended score
less with neither side having much
advantage. Hughes made an unsuc-
cessful attempt for field goal from
the 22-yard line in the second period,
this effort being the only semblence
of score.
The last two periods were quite
different, the local boys being all
over the visitors in every play. Had
it not been for tumble by Beverly
on their own 8-yard line Riverside
never would have scored.
The home team drew first blood in
the middle of the third period, after
holding Riverside for downs and fore
ing them to kick, w. Gennett broke
through and blocked the attempt,
Ireland recovering the ball on River
sides 16-yard line. From this point
Beverly battered their way right
through the center of the Riverside
line play after play for touchdown.
w. Hood failed in the attempt for an
extra point.
For the balance of the third period
and far into the fourth the visitors
battIed desperately until they finally
executed a beautiful 20-yard pass for
a touchdown and six points but they
likewise failed to kick the goal after
touchdown.
The Beverly team were not to be
denied however and with dying de-
termination they went after the
WdtCuIOWA pOyS tOOtu aAAO HdtA-
Riverside kicked to Beverly who
succeeded in carrying the BAN to mid
field before being forced to kick
and let it be known right here that
Johnnie Hughes made some boot, the
ball rolling beyond the goal line
from whence it was brought out to
the twenty-yard line and III play.
But alas for Riverside, after three
unsuccessful attempts at the line they
were forced to kick and great kick
it was for Beverly. Walter Genrett
once more broke through, smeared
the kick and when both teams finally
got through falling on it and the
players untangled it was found that
Shan Vernon was wrapped entirely
around the ball and both were rest
ing in back of the goal line, adding
six more points to Beverly's total and
thereby winning the game and Glass
B Championship of Central and Sou
thern New Jersey and everything
thatgoes with it.

savory reputation.

plea of guilty. 1t was explained
that the couple belong to a religious
sect which teaches faith-healing and
is opposed to medicines.
They called physician when the
child was taken i'll, so that they
could obtain a death certificate in
case the baby died, as they had its
life insured and the insurance COM
panies require the certificate as proof
of death. The physician prescribed
medicine, but the parents threw it
away, and did not send for the doc
tor again until the child was beyond

not favor a severe penalty, but neg
lect OF this character should not pass
unnoticed. Grown persons may
choose to die without medical atten-

child should be guarded against
such practices. The court laid the
case over one week for consideration
as to sentence.
