The quiet village of Rancocas is much
agitated over prize fight which occurred
on farm near the town on Sunday, Jan
uary 2. The ring was pitched in true
sporting style and there were seconds,
time keepers and spectators. Warrants
have been issued for several of those who
took part in any way. The complaints
were made by two constables who had
some doubt about their right to serve the
warrants. While this point was being
discussed, efforts were made to hush the
matter up, but the law-abiding citizens
have taken hold of it andlthere will prob
ably be an investigation by the grand
jury.
