Mr. and Mrs. George Rider, who have been residing on South Main Street the past W inter, have left for the South, where Mr. Rider hopes to regain somewhat his health. While Oscar Rhodes was working on his automobile in front of his office Friday evening his hands were covered w ith gasoline. He lighted a match to find the stopcock under the vehicle and the light ignited the oil on his hands and they were badly burned. Two shots from the revolver of N ight Watchman Baker was the cause of the awakening of several of the residents about the Freeport station of the Long Island Railroad early F r i day morning. W atchman Baker, while making his regular rounds, visited the station and saw a man near a window at the office. Before Officer Baker realized it he was looking into the barrel of a revolver in the hand of the stranger. Mr. Baker dodged back for a moment to pull his gun and the stranger made good the opportunity and fled across the lots southward of the station. Baker followed, calling on the man to stop, and, as he did not obey, fired two shots. The stranger made good his escape. The Bellmore and W antagh depots were robbed the same night. The special school m eeting on May 11 will undoubtedly be largely attend ed, as there is already considerable discussion of the propositions sub m itted. The first q u estion is as to the advisability of putting a $35,000 ad dition to the present building ; if this is not deemed best then three sites are offered for the location of an ad ditional building, viz. : southeast cor ner of Archer St.and Long Beach Ave., northeast corner Rose St. and Bay- view Avenue, and northw est corner of the same streets. The price ol these lots run from $$000 to $9000. In case one of these sites is selected there will be presented a fifth proposition to build a school house on the property a t a cost of not over thirty-five thous and dollars. These questions are to be decided by the residents a t this m eeting and should be thoroughly considered by everyone before going to the m eeting. O B I T U A R Y MRS.
