HUNTED BY POSSE
New Jersey Berry Pickers Get
Real Fright

South Amboy, N. j., Aug. PA
posse of citizens and policemen of
South River are searching the woods
around Wolf Swamp for wild
man. who rides in an automobile
and who has been terrorizing young
women and girls picking buckle
berries. Since early in the week nine
women have reported that Wild
looking, bearded man In tattered
clothes has jumped at them from
behind bushes, chasing them and
making them upset their berries.
Until yesterday the man had been
frightened off by their screams, but
three girls were chased by him this
morning and one was injured in a
successful attempt to fight off his
attack. Citizens of South River
formed a posse under the command
of Chief Of Police Eberwein and
started for the spot where the at
tack had occurred.
AS the party entered the woods,
the man suddenly jumped from the
bushes and made off before the men
armed with clubs were able to reach
him.
Shortly afterwards a car was seen
passing on a little-used woodland
road and the fugitive was identified
as the driver. A general alarm has
been sent throughout Middlesex
county and the posse is guarding all
roads leading from the woods.

A new heating system will be in
stalled in Community hall this fall
to replace the old one lately re-
moved. The increased activities Of
the community during the winter
season throws unusual heavy duty
on the heating system. 1t is plan
ned to have the hall heated through
out the week this winter. Last sea-
son Community hall was used every
night but Saturday and ofttimes on
that night. The schedule for this
/ season insofar as can be determined
will be as follows: Monday, Pythian
Sisters or white night: Tuesday,
Knights of Pythias: Wednesday,
Community club; Thursday and Fri
day evenings, Boys and Girls club
nights; Saturday, Open.
1t is possible that there may be
some delay in the program relative
to the reception of the fresh air
children. Mrs. A. L. Burgreen,
chairman of the committee in charge
of the children is expected home
within the next ten days and it is
probable that final action in the mat
ter will be deferred until her ar

through the waters of the Kill Won
kull. In his haste to escape the
helmsman ran his boat into two an
chored sand barges, cutting one of
them in two and causing two men
on board the barge to be thrown
headlong into the water.
The rum runner careened onward
through the darkness until it ran
its prov high and dry onto a sand
bar. After rescuing the two men
thrown into the water police noti-
fled the coast guard and cutter
pulled the steamer from the sand
bar. The cutter took the steamer
and its crew to anchorage close to
the Statue Of Liberty where it was
kept under close guard beside the
Sebastopol.
The capture Of the Ansonia and
the % persons aboard was the work
of a single coast guardsman, George
A. Lomax in charge of patrol
boat, who boarded the ship. He de-
tected the smell of liquor as soon as
he stepped on deck, he said, and as
several nondescript persons moved
toward him, he drew his automatic
and ordered, "stay where you are.
You're all under arrest"
While holding his prisoners at
bay he hailed the police boat
Gypsy and sent for reinforcements.
Customs officials who boarded the
Ansonia later found the prisoners
close mouthed, and were unable to
learn whether all % men were
members of the crew or whether
some had gone aboard at Staten Is
land and been carried away when
the steamer made her hasty depar-
ture.

Brugnon rallied to the net often

remain back for the most part and
brought to bear little of his smash

best weapon was twisting ground

was able to place just out OF reach
of Tilden's slashing racket arm.
Tilden obviously did not unleate

Rumors OF Plant
That this town might be the
choice of selection Of a site for an
assembling plant for the Ford Motor
company is widely rumored at the
! present time. For the past few days
two alleged Representatives of the
company have been looking over
suitable property in this town with
view towards purchasing a factory
site here for the assembling activi-
ties of the giant concern. While the
rumors are not substantiated to any
great extent, local residents are
| hopeful that such honors will be
cast upon the town. The central sit
uation of Berlin and its promi-
nence to the main highways of the
state are claimed as favorable items
for consideration.

ton, Iowa. will occupy the pulpit of

morning. Rev. Mr. Drew Is making
a tour through the east and has
spoken in several churches in sur
rounding towns.
Who Did 1t?
Local police authorities are in
dulging in a little sleuthing activi-
ties and are in all proba bility on the
verge Of announcing an arrest in
connection with a loud declaration
of individual sentiment which was
perched on top of the memorial
monument at the intersection of
Pennington avenue and Worthington
Ridge this morning.
| The announcement. which was
some six feet square, was in the
form Of rather shakily printed
placard bearing the words, Good
Night Sacco and Vanzetti."
That the would-be bulletin posters
were all wrong as regards to dates
and that the two thus honored in
dividuals are still enjoying compar-
atively good health has not de-
tered the local officials from their
resolve to track down the guilty
persons. Ages estimated as being in
volved run from 16 to %. The pla-
card was hung by ropes to the
screaming eagle of freedom who has
made his perch on the top of the
monument since its erection. Pass
ing motorists who did not approve
of the. sentiment expressed tore the
sign down. Investigations thus far
have discovered that the sign went
up at exactly 1906 this morning.
Beyond that no reports have been
given out.
