thirty day note for 5000 on the Borden

At the expiration of two weeks one of
the horses is alleged to have had fit and
they were returned, but Dubell did not
want to receive them. The latter notified
Horner that the horses were in the stable

The bank discounted the note for Du-

Horner for the amount, which he paid
with costs and interests. The parties
finally agreed not to have any further
suits, but to allow the case to be settled
by arbitration. A decision is expected

The Masonic Home.

Josiah w. Evan who is a member of
the committee of the Grand Lodge of
Masons to select and purchase home for
old and INDECENT Masons, their wives,
widown and orphans, informs us that the
home will be purchased before the
close of the present year and fully paid
for. The members of the fraternity
throughout the state are now enthusiast
lcally at work securing the necessary
funds and the committee are now fully
satisfied that the ONE project will be a
splendid success, as funds are coming into
their hands in sufficient amounts to justi-
fy that belief
The committee have examined many
places that have been offered for the pur-
pose and out of probably 200 places Of
fered only three were thought of sufficient
importance to consider at all. The Mount
Holly Ashhurst property was one of them
but Mr.. Evan regrets to say that it will
not be selected for the home, although at
one time it was thought it would be Sc
lected. The place that will be chosen
will be one of the most beautiful and sub
stantial places in the state and will be a
credit to the fraternity of Masons, and its
location will soon be officially announced
by the committee.
The members of Mount Holly Lodge
No. IA have paid more than $3.50 already
to the committee for home and many Of
the members have not yet made theil
contribution.

Medford was the scene of great deal
of excitement on Monday night of last
week. Harry Munyon, desperate char
acter, entered the factory store about $50
O'Clock with a gun, and demanded Of
Samuel Garwood SIS or his life. He was
refused the money but upon further
threatening it was given him. Mr.. Gar
wood then asked him to shake hands over
it. but he refused saying that what he had
in his heart against him could never be
removed, and also threatened shooting
other members of the firm. He then left
the store telling Mr.. Garwood to 60 to his
supper, adding that be would lie at his
bed of ease that night. A warrant was
issued for his arrest, but in the meantime
he had made good his escape. A crowd
of men searched the house of Mrs. Phifer,
whom he had been living with, but were
unable to find him. About o'clock the
crowd gave up in despair and returned to
their homes.
About IL o'clock Munyon returned to
the house with Robert Strong, another
boarder of Mrs. Phifer's, and reloaded his
gun. Robert then went to the home of
Hayes Miller to hire his horse and wagon
stating that he wanted to take Munyon to
Mount Holly, but Mr.. Miller refused him.
They then started up town and Robert
states that he left Munyon at the bridge.
The consciousness that he was fugitive
so preyed upon his mind that he could
stand it no longer. He walked into the
Bridgeton station house, Saturday, and
he was wanted.
Munyon told how he had spent the
week in evading arrest. He said:
after got the money l ran and hid
in the bushes behind rail fence with my
gun slung over the rails. A constable
and three men went by in a wagon in hot
pursuit of me. l could have shot them
all. They thought l had hid in the
church as my sweetheart had the keys.
She met them there and with them on the
way back passed the spot where she knew
| was hidden.
''She joked with them as they passed
me so as to distract their attention. She
said:
"'You didn't look in the church organ,
and at that they all laughed.
For days l wandered through Mount
Holly, in the woods and along lonely by
paths, startled by every breaking twig.
Il used to live in Bridgeton years ago,
but nobody would hide me- | drank up
all my money-$l5-and l had but little
to eat | was hungry and desperate, so
came to the police and found my first
welceme. Prison diet is better than sus-
pense and liquor.
Munyon said the glass company had re-
fused him SIS. the wages for his last
weeks work. So he took his own way
of collecting the amount. That is his
story.
"Would you have shot Garwood ~
asked the correspondent.
Yes. l would" was the reply. 81
