ACCOMMODATIONS
Fire Company Will Make Inspec-
lions And Prosecute Those
Creating Fire Hazard.

About two years ago the Milford
Town Council passed a resolution
authorizing the Carlisle Fire Com
pany of this town to inspect all
premises on which they had reason
to believe that the owner was Great
ing a fire hazard, and also pledging
to back them in any prosecutions
which they might initiate. During
the past few weeks the Carlisle Fire
Company has received twenty COM
plants to the effect that some of the
merchants in the business section
are allowing paper and rubbish to
accumulate to such an extent that
they are a real fire menace. Other
complaints state that the practice of
burning paper in the closely built
up section of the town is dangerous,
and the firemen are asked to stop
this nuisance. With this in view the
firemen have set Wednesday, Febru-
airy LIST, as inspection day for the
business section. The accumulations
in the rear of all business houses
will be looked over, and the owners
will be given an opportunity to
eliminate any menace which may be
found to exist. Those who fail to
comply will be prosecuted and made

WIND STORM CAUSES
HEAVY PROPERTY LOSS
THROUGHOUT STATE

Which Wrecked Buildings And
Did Other Damage.

Damage In Southwestern Sussex
Was Great.--BOwers Beach Also
Suffered.

The entire state was swept by q
bowling windstorm, which was ac-
companied by a dOwnpour of rain
on Tuesday evening of this week
At Milford the heavy wind rocked
homes and did damage of a minor
nature. At Delmar and other towns
the storm wrecked property with
resultant losses of thousands of
dollars, most of which was not Gov
cred by cyclone insurance. An cleo
trio storm of heavy proportions ac-
companied the storm.
From all sections of the state
come reports that telephone lines
were badly damaged At Milford a
new garage under construction for
Edward Evans, manager of the
Plaza Theatre, was blown down.
Fences and trees were caught in the
storms fury and leveled to the
ground On the farm of John G..
Truitt, near Houston, large house
was blown down. A chicken house
on the farm of Russell Robbins was
leveled to the ground. At Houston
a poultry house owned by John G.
Wharton was blown away. Edgar
Vineyards brooder house and several
stacks of fodder were blown down.

aged to a great extent. Boats which
had been pulled out for the winter
were blown over and damaged. The
dance hall was also caught in the
storm and the front was torn away.
At Dover the storm was not so in
tense, and reports indicated that it
suffered about the same extent as
Milford and vicinity. At Laurel the
storm was bad, and much loss is
reported. In the northern part of
the state the wind did not cause the
damage that it did downstate.
The worst windstorm within the
memory of the oldest inhabitant
struck the vicinity of Delmar at
1890 o'clock Tuesday evening at
tanning eyelonic proportions that for
a time threatened to destroy every
thing within its path. AS it is the
countryside is strewn with wreck
age and debris of every kind, such
as fallen telephone poles and wires,
trees, twisted smoke stacks

lings, chicken houses and Outbuild-

LOCAL SPORTSMEN
ENJOY CATCHING BIRDS
English Starlings Provide Fine En-
tertainment And Excellent Food

Great fiocks of a new variety Of
birds, which have been driving away
other birds, including song birds and
pigeons, from our locality, have
been discovered to be edible, and,
rather than a menace, are becoming
very much sought after by local
sportsmen. They find shelter in
barns and silos, where the hunters
bag them, by means of fash lights,
after dark. Among other places
where they have been caught recent
" is the old Simpson place near Mil
ford, where a party of men, Burton
Walls, Carlisle Hall, Elmer Watson,
Dewey Bowen, Albert Dyer and Lou
Evans, bagged about 500 in just a
few minutes Thursday night of last
week.
On Monday night some of these
same men bagged 800 of these birds
on the farm of Edward Cooper at
Slaughter Neck. Using a seine to
stop UP the holes in the barn where
the birds had gone to roost, they
grabbed them as in trying to iber-
ate themselves, the birds struck the
seine.
About 81 inches long, with a
longer beak but shorter tail than
the common variety of black bird,
these birds are black with a rusty
cast, the breast speckled green.
