A GALLOWS HILL ROBBERY.

An Italian Held Up Near Ivestfleld, N. J",
and Deopoiled of His savings.

Plainfield, Sept. 2..—-Gallows'.Hill .be-
tween Westfield and Cranford, ose
summit was the scene of hangings in
Revolutionary times, and on which
there stands a sturdy old oak on which
a. British spy was hanged to death, was
today the scene of a daring highw 1y
robbery.

Antonio Paguise, an Italian, who lives
in Westfield and who works in Cran-
ford, was walking along. that way to-
day. When he reached the road at the
summit of the hill, which is shaded by
thick underbrush, two men jumped out
into the center of the road. One of
them grasped him around the body and
held his hands fast.

The other struck him ablow in the
face, knocking him to the ground and
partially stunning him. Then, while
one sat on his stomach and held his
hands, the other tore off the clothes
around his body to-get at the belt in
which PaguiSe carried his savings,
amounting to $260. The money was in
$10 and $20 bills.

Having secured it, the highwaymen
kicked and pounded him so that he was
unable to give chase. .He was left in a
dazed condition lying in the roadway,
while the desperadoes disappeared in
the woods.

Paguise lay in the roadway for a few

minutes, but finally revived sufficiently :‘

to get on his feet and yell for help.
There are no houses near the scene of
the hold up, and his yells were not re-
sponded to. Then Paguise walked back
to. VVestfield. He reported the hold up
to Constable‘Hart, and said that he
recognized the two highwaymen as
Nicola Cuppola, a driver of a Cranford
'beer wagon, and an Italian known as
. Big Joe, who lives in Westfield. He
said that he knew both men well, hav—
ing met them at Italian resorts in
Westfield. They knew that he had a
large sum of money on his person, as
he intended to sail for Italy in a few
weeks, and had been saving for that
purpose for two years. The police in
the neighborhood are looking out for
the robbers.

TIRES THAT LEAK.

The Morgan & Wright single-tuba
quick-repair tire must be regarded as

a. distinct improvement in bicycle tire :

construction. It has the following ad-
vantages:
While punctures in it can be re-
paired with plugs, or semi-liquid in-
jections, as well as in any other
single-tube tire, it can be permanent!)
repaired by using the ‘quic'k-repaiI
strip inside the tire. See out No. l.

By injecting M. & W. quick-repaII
cement through the puncture, an:
then pressing down on the tire with
the thumb. as in out No. 2, the repair

 

No.2.

strip inside is picked up by the cement,
thus closing the puncture, as in cut
No. 3.

The Morgan & Wright- single-tube
quick-repair tire is guaranteed not
This is on account of the Way
in' which it is made. Nearly every
rider has heard of tires that “leak
like a sieve.”

Many tires rot, because water gets
into the fabric between the two layers
. The Morgan & Wright
fabric is proof against moisture. .

Everybody knows how comfortable
Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet
how seldom they puncture. This is
due to the fabric.

Ask any bicycle dealer whether
other tires last as long as Morgan &
Wright tires. A‘sk. also, what . he
Morgan & Wright guarantee means.
Morgan & Wright tires are repaired
free of charge, at the factory ‘in
Chicago or at any of the Morgan &
Wright free repair shops, located in
the principal cities.

N. B. —When you have a puncture,
get right off. Riding a tire flat, when
it as a tack or nail in it, may

- ’amsge it considerably. . -

at the bottom of all is constipation,
which is one of the things that Dr.

always cures. Here is proof: ‘

N.Y., says: “If it were not for Dr.
