Firemen Called Out
Glendale firemen were. called out
twice last week and once this week
to subdue chimney fires. The first
one was at the home of Isaac T.
4 Warren, Sr., where the floor had
caught fire from the chimney. Only
by the quickness of the 1iremen who
rushed there and subdued it pre-
vented it from doing serious dam
age. The second one was at the
home of Irving COverdale, whose
chimney was on fire. The firemen
soon put it out. The last one was at
the home of Walter Sheppard, which
proved also to be Il chimney fire,
and was soon subdued.
Anyone who has seen the work
performed by our firemen, who go
anywhere, night or day, in any kind
of weather, know that they are up
and doing. This was proven Monday
morning when they went out in the
cold, stormy weather, everything
filled with snow and sleet, to help
some one to put out a chimney fire.
Yet some people talk about them
they are as far above this class of
people as day is above night.
kidnaperS Busy
Nothing has stirred the country of
late as the kidnapping of the child be-
longing to Colonel and Mrs. Charles
Lindbergh, has done.
Whoever the miscreants were who
committed this dastardly deed, they
should be hunted down and given all
the law will allow.
The police power of both the Uni
ted States Government and the sew
eral states should be employed i'll
this work and there should be no
let up until the kidnapers are found
and if the baby has been killed or
injured in any way, then let them
take what follows in such cases.
kidnapping of prominent women,
men and children for ransom has
become too common in a country
like the United States, and there
must be protection of some kind be-
hind those who commit such crimes
or else they would not be able to
indulge in them with impunity.
Make the penalty death and let the
law be general in all states, and per-
haps persons who have been COM
mitting such deeds will think twice
before committing another.
Moved
Joseph Calhoun has moved his
tonsorial parlor from the Ennis
block on McCaulley avenue to the
Prettyman building on Railroad ave-
nue., He will be more centrally To- |
Gated and have a building which will |
afford much more light.
yAlieYes Abound
John Watson who resides about |
half a mile from town, reports that |
his meat house was broken into last |
Friday night and two hams and two
shoulders of a four hundred pound |
hog were stolen. The thieves enter
ed the building by drawing the sta
pies which held the lock. The cul-
prits are pretty we'll known and if |
not careful in the future they will
ind themselves visiting the new
Sussex county Jail, wh9re they VIII
be introduced to the new whipping
iust of Sheriff Brittingham's.
