Monkeys Get Loose.

There was panic one day last week
during the parade of circus at Be-
lott, Wis. A steam pile driver fright
ened an eight-horse team of ponies at
tached to a cage of monkeys and they
ran away. The ponies attached to
the cage of performing dogs followed
overturning the cages. There was a
splitting of dogs and monkeys. The
horses on some of the other cages, en-
couraged by the way the ponies got
away. also started on the run. For
tunately none of the wild animals got
loose, and no one was injured. 1t re-
quired several hours work for the
trainers to capture the monkeys.

III TINS liIN.

In this city.
Miss Bertha Richards, daughter of
DIR. Richards, of Fallsington, Bucks
county, Pa, drove to Morrisvile last
Wednesday an9 tied up her horse at
Morris hotel sheds When she came
to get the horse and carriage to return
home it was nowhere to be found.
Suspicion was directed to aeedy-
looking individual, who had been
lettering about the town since the first
of the month He had been last seen
in the hotel, where he bothered man
for dime, saying he wanted to raise
enough money to purchase an artifi-
cial limb. This was Mt 3 o'clock, and
he at once disappeared and had not
been seen since The man was about
| five feet four or five inches tall, com
pact in build, dark complexioned,
with long black hair, smooth face,
from 81 to 40 years Of age, left leg of
above the knee, wearing wooden leg
aud using Il crutch and cane. The
Fallsington Horse Company offered a
reward of $50 for the capture of the
thief and $50 additional for the re-
coyery of the horse aud carriage.
Last Monday afternoon, Samuel
Clark, employed in Conoyer 4 Con
overs store in this city, saw man on
the street who answered to the de-
scription of the thief as published in
the Trcnton TiD1es, and had him ar
rested. The man gave his name as
John Boyd, and said his horse was at
the Bellemont stables. 1t is said he had
sold the carriage, and was trying
to sell the harness when arrested lie
was locked MP in the town Jail over
night, and on Tuesday morning
brought before Justice Lyman, who
committed him to Pennington to await
requisition from Pennsylvania. The
man refused to go back to Pennsyl-
yania without reqnisition. He said
no, no. What, go before that Judge
over at Doylestown. He sent me up
for ten years once before for stealing
a horse" So by his own acknowledg-
ment he is an old offender.
Pursuers Of the Horse Company
went to Baptisitown on Tuesday,
where they located the horse, and
found Frank Seryis, who had made a
trade with the thief, giving him 81
and a broken down old horse in OK
change for the stolen animal. From
there they went to Sergeantsville,
where the wagon was located, and
then returned to this city.
The thief gave his name as John
Boyd, but he is supposed to be John
Strum, who was sentenced by Judge
Yerkes to ten and one-half years in
the penitentiary in 1899, for stealing q
horse. He has only one leg.

While driving down Cottage hill
on Saturday morning, Emanuel Scott,
a farmer, who lives near this city, lost
control of team of horses which he
was driving. The animals were at
tached to heavy loaded farm wagon
and this heavy weight bearing down
upon them caused them to take fright
and dash down the hill at mad pace
Before reaching the foot Of the hill,
the runaway struck a delivery wagon
belonging to c. A. Twomey, the
butcher, with such force that it broke
the running gear of the latter wagon
and threw the driver headlong into
the road. The latter's horse being
left without a driver, also ran away
The only damage done was TO the
butcher wagon.
