Stepped Back Into Auto;
Died in the Hospital
Last Wednesday evening about 9:00 o'clock, William Brower, of Grand Avenue, Baldwin, and William Smith of West Side Avenue, Freeport, were walking down Ocean Avenue, cross¬ ing Olive Boulevard as the auto of John S. Sumner, of 30 Porterfield Place, driven by Mrs. Snniner. was crossing the Boulevard. The couple had apparently passed when Brower stopped, and lurched back into the car, which was being driven so slowly that it stopped almost immediately, but not until he had been so badly in¬ jured that he died two hours later in Nassau Hospital of a fractured skull.
The Freeport police were notified and later took word to Mrs. Brower at her home in Baldwin. Mr. Brower. who was a mason by trade, was 40 years of age, and leaves 5 small chil¬ dren.
Mrs. Sumner was not blamed for the accident and no police action was taken.
Discharged Soldiers
in Scrimmage
Fred H. Batcher. Who recently re¬ turned from France, where he served in the Tanks, and was gassed twice. was stabbed in the chin and severely cut last Thursday evening. He swore out a warrant charging Ralph Alex¬ ander with having assaulted him.
In his preliminary examination be¬ fore Police Justice Flint. Alexander denied that he committed the assault, but said it was done by Frederick Upfer, who is also a discharged sol¬ dier. Alexander was held on $100 bail for examination on Thursday ev¬ ening of this week.
It is a peculiar coincidence that Up¬ fer, whom Alexander said committed thia assault, was indicted by the Grand Jury a couple of years ago for an almoat identical assault upon Offi¬ cer Elmer Raynor of the Freeport Police Force, who was stabbed thru the lip with a pocket knife. The case •ffainst Upfer was tried and resulted in a disagreement of the Jury, and sbortljr after Upfer waa drafted and went into Servic*.

Boy Scout Troop No. 1 Entertains Returning
Scout Master Kemp
.\lmost a full attendance of Troop
of the Freeport Boy Scouts gath¬ ered under the leadership of Lawrence Schloss in the basement of the Church of the Transfiguration Wednesday ev¬ ening and surprised their former Scout Master, Carl Kemp. The guests of the evening were Rev. R. H. Scott, Misses Gissel and Gerard and Scout- Masters Kemp and Gissel. who, with Scout Master Westcott were given seats of honor during the serving of refreshments.
Sergeant Kemp was brought to the church under the presumption that there was an entertainment so that when he entered the meeting'room, saw the table with its decorations and heard the applause of the Scouts, he was entirely surprised. After the roll call Scout Schloss gave a brief his¬ tory of Troop 1 during Sergeant Kemp's absence.
Plana were started so that the Scouts of Freeport might join in the festivities ot the Scouts of New York State in building liberty flres on the evening of the day on which the Peace Treaty is signed.
Sergeant Kemp gave the boys a talk on his experiences while a mem¬ ber of the 166th Infantry with which he sailed in October 1917.
