AFTER PAYING $3.50 PEDDLER THOUGHT
HE OWNED THE TOWN
MILLTOWN, May 17. — Samuel J. Nochomowitz, the peddler whose horse strolled away on Wednesday and upset his load of vegetables while the driver was lunching, was taken into custody by Officer Chas. Foerter yesterday for peddling vegetables with a horse and wagon in the borough without a license, and was fined $5 and costs by Judge Headley.
Nochomowitz had taken out a license some time ago for peddling dry goods with a hand basket in the borough, for which he paid $3.50, and he seemed to think that this would also entitle him to peddle anything he desired.
