Possible Damage suit.

Dan Rice, Jr., the young man who gave
a trapeze performance at the Fair, may
be the plaintiff in a suit for damages. The
| matter is in the hands of counsel
| Rice has been around Mount Holly since
| the tair boarding at the home of Edward
Smith. The second week in November
| he had some business near Indian Mills
and hired team from Pop Bowker to &c
| to that place. One of Smiths relations
is school teacher at Indian Mills and he1
| check for salary being DUE Rice volun-
teered to collect it for her. He started
and was to have been home on Saturday
night
| The time came but Rice did not, nor
was he on hand on Monday, so Smith and
Bowker started after him. They found
him at Indian Mills all unconscious of the
fact that he was being looked for. When
told it was feared he had gone with team
and check he was, to put it mildly. vexed.
There was an oyster supper and a dance
at Indian Mills on Saturday evening and
Rice had decided to stay and attend it.
There is no telegraph line at the place,
but persons desiring to send message
can have 1t transmitted by telephone to
Atsion where the telegraph sends it on its
journey. Rice went to the telephone man
and sent message to the effect that
team and check were all right and would
be on hand on Monday"
When Rice got back to Mount Holly he
at once consulted Blanchard H. White
and correspondence was opened with
James j. Wills, who has charge of the
telephone line This is private enterprise,
If we are correctly informed. kilograms
are delivered to Wills who forwards them
to Atsion, charging an additional ten cents
for the work
He claims to have told Rice that the
message would not be likely to get away
from Atslon on Saturday, but would be
sent on Sunday. 1t reached Mount Holly
on the following Wednesday. Where it
was in the meantime is what counsel is
endeavoring to find out The Western
Union operator at Atsion says he sent it
the same day it was received by him
November 14-four days after it was given
to the telephone man.
The latter, in reply to letter from Mr.
White, says he gave true explanation
as If | had come to your Office" and fur
ther adds that it would be no benefit for
Rice to consult over the matter, as under
no circumstances could he collect damages
because he failed to comply with certain
conditions printed on the back of the
blanks of the Western Union Telegraph
Company. In further response to this let
ter Wills had the telegram forwarded ''for
his (Rice's) sake, although it was out of
my hands at the time as | had delivered it
to the Western Union Company"
The operator at Atsion says the message
was not received until Wednesday and he
at once sent it. The matter came near
being serious for Rice, as the rumor at
once started that he had run off with
horse and check, and if Bowker had not
found him when he did, the newspapers
in country and city would probably have
heralded the story. Rice wants the matter
cleared up. He is not satisfied the way it
Low stands and will probably ask the aid
of the court in the matter.

There are a number of children il

is not generally known that there is a
penalty for allowing children to remain
from school and many parents seem tc
think they have entire control of the
matter, being privileged to send the child.

resented by the parents. In an instance
in the Mount Holly school, within the
