A Fugitive for a Year

About a year ago Frank Hall, of Oyster Bay, shot a man. A warrant was issued for his arrest, but he escaped arrest until Wednesday, when he was caught by Officer Monilaus, who found him working on a farm at Hyde Park, When searched at the lock-up a revolver and a box of cartridges were found on him.


Fire at Huntington

The carriage repository of John Bresenger, and the barn of Simon Hirschfield, at Huntington, were destroyed by fire Tuesday night. Two horses in the barn perished. Loss $12,000. There was little insurance.


A Low License Town

The board of excise of Newtown fixed the license fee at $30 per annum. This is the lowest rate of any town. So far the board has issued 242 licenses. Last year nearly 400 licenses were issued.
