Tuesday afternoon the sudden burst OF
wind and rain, accompanied by the thun-
der and lightning, which heralded the
shift of the storm wind from southeast to
west was accompanied by tornado at
Cedar Creek. The tornado came out of
the southwest making course about one
third of mile long and less than 100
yards wide directly to the northeast It
first struck the Daniel Hurley place, then
the tenant farm belonging to Thomas G.
VanArsdale, doing slight damage in both
places.
1t then struck the homestead of J. H.
Williams, unroofng a shed, blowing
down a lumber house and tearing up
trees. The greatest damage however was
at Mr.. Williams farm, tenanted by Isaac
N. Jones, which also lay in the track of
the cyclone. 1t partially unroofed a big
barn, dropping the roof hundred yards
from the barn. 1t took the end out of
one hay house; moved another hay
house partly off its foundation; and de-
molished COW shed. A big cherry tree,
q feet in diameter, was blown over
against the farm house, injuring the house
somewhat. An old apple orchard, in
which trees were foot in diameter, was
uprooted, some of the trees being blown
fifty yards Fences were destroyed and
shocks of corn we're scattered all over the
field.

On Tuesday Judge Miller held court
and listened to the case of George W. Nc
Medley VS.. d. R. Ludlow
The men are related. The plaintiff had
Ludlow's horse one day and went out for a
ride. The horse ran away, was badly in
iured and died. McNeeley then bought
horse of A. w. Lofand, and he and
Ludlow used the animal as common prop
erty. Things did not go that way long,
however, and there was a falling out
McNeeley tried to take the horse away,
but Ludlow objected and then suit was
brought. Verdict for plaintiff for $50.
Judge Gaskill held criminal court up
stairs. Henry Delaney was tried for steal
ing chickens from Charles Lehman, of
White Hill. A verdict of not guilty was
rendered.
On Wednesday Charles Naked was put
on trial for assault and battery on John
Miller, of Riverside. The two men
worked on farm and the assault fol-
lowed a quarrel, Naked shooting Miller
and inficting some painful wounds. The
defence was that the shooting was done
in self-defence.
A verdict of guilty was rendered and
Naked was sent to State Prison for three
years.
On Thursday, the appeal case of DR.. A.
E. Conrow VS.. D. Walton Davis was tried.
Davis had sick horse and a friend told
him that DR.. Conrow could help the ami
NAL, and he sent the doctor over. The
horse got well, but Dayis refused to pay
Conrow his charge of 81. so on the ground
that the doctor had no right to practice
and that his remedies were not used
The court below gave Conrow a verdict
and the appeal court affirmed the judy
ment.
A. W. Loland vs. John Collins was also
heard. Lofand sold Collins a double
team, warranting them sound and kind,
but warned the purchaser against using
one of the horses singly. Collins did not
heed the warning, however, and hitched
the horse to a wagon, which the animal
proceeded to kick to pieces. Collins sent
the horse back to Lofand, who at once
returned it and tied it under the sheds of
the former. The Court affirmed the judg-
ment below, which was in favor of Mr..
Lohand.

The College of Pharmacy foot ball team
was defeated by Riverton, on Saturday.
by the large score of 81 to 0.
The game of foot ball at the fair ground
on Saturday, was fine contest, one of the
best ever witnessed in Mount Molly. The
visiting team was Camden's crack eleven,
the A. A. c., who heretofore have laid
claim to being the champions of South
Jersey. This honor is now held by Mount
Holly, as the home team won by the
score of 6 to O.
Not only did the locals make a touch
down and kick goal but outplayed the
Camden boys during nearly the entire
game, particularly in the second half,
when the ball was not once in Mount
Holly's territory.
The touchdown was made in the first
half by steady bucking of the line until
within short distance of the goal, when
the ball was given to Hall and by him
carried over with strong pushing and
Juggling by the team.
The visitors expected to work wonders
in the second half, when the strong wind
was in their favor, and they thought, too,
that Mount Holly would weaken. But
the Camden boys were kept on the de-
fensive nearly all the time and when the
game ended the ball was within five yards
of the ex-champion's goal and would have
been carried over in few minutes more
During both halves Mount Holly buck ed
the line terriically, and their mass plays
could not be stopped by the visitors A
number of gains we're also made by mass
formations around the end.
The features of the game were the end
runs of Hall and Denness, the tackling of
McQulggan, the line bucking of Savldge,
and the playing of Berry. For the yisi-
tors the best work was done by Peterson
and Van Hart.
Contrary to expectations the game was
clean one, there was a remarkable alb
sence of rowdyisn,, and a good feeling
seemed to prevail among the players.
The lineup follows!

Was Not Killed.

Among the many rumors of cunning
accidents on Wednesday was one which
told of the killing of Fred. Hoffman, Jr.,
of Birmingham. The details of the cir
cumstances were related with such accu-
racy as to leave no doubt of their truth.
In fact the coroner went to the home of
the supposed dead man and was surprised
to find him calmly smoking pine.
Mr.. Hoffman was greatly annoyed by
the reports of his death which were pub
lished in the daily papers. He says he
has but one reason to give for the founda-
ton of such rumor. He and friend
were cunning, and a shot was fred in the
neighborhood where he was. Somebody
called "Who shot ?" and boy running
by, said Erred. Hoffman," This answer
was evidently construed into Erred Hof.
mans shot," and thus was circulated.
