Years ago old drivers were accustomed
to think they were doing well when they
turned the track of the Mount Holly Fair
in 2.30. Now they wonder they were so
slow. Last year it was thought the top
notch in speed had been reached, but there
will be some fast horses on the track
October 2, 8, and 5. Fast races each
day
During the base ball game, on Satur-
day, horse on WOODLAND became fright
ened, broke its halter, and started off at
fast gait. The wagon was damaged by
striking the house at the corner of the
fair grounds. Proceeding down Main
street the horse ran over the sidewalk be-
tween tree and the corner of the Wash
ington House, and passed down Water
street.
Constable Throckmorton had somewhat
of an exciting time in the arrest of Ben
jamin Deacon, colored, living near 'Bucto.
on Friday. The prisoner is charged with
drawing knife and threatening to cut
Joseph Giles, of Chestnut street, Mount
Holly. The officer first saw Deacon in
front of the Arcade Hotel, but as the
latter insisted that his name was Floyd
Deacon, he was not molested. When in
formed that he had been deceived, the
constable started after Deacon and caught
him as he was approaching Martins Ho-
tel. The man resisted and there was
tussle. Deacon was finally overpowered,
placed on trolley car and taken to jail.
Justice Krayer committed him in default
of 5000 bail.
Frederick Frederickson, son of a we'll
to-do farmer on the Salem road, on the
outskirts of Edgewater Park, strangely
disappeared from his home, last week,
and his whereabouts are still unknown to
his parents. 1t was not until Thursday
that the parents of the boy became alarm
ed. At first it was thought he was at the
home of his aunt, where he had stayed
many times before, but she had not seen
him. The father at once notified the po
lice in the nearby towns. Much anxiety
is felt in the home of the Fredericksons,
as they can assign no reason why the boy
should leave the home. Frederickson is
about II years old, five feet eight. has
light brown hair and blue eyes. He wore
dark brown suit and hat when last seen.
George Risdon arrived in Mount Holly
tired and foot sore on Sunday morning.
He had been employed on a bog at Indian
Mills giving out cranberry tickets. Hav-
ing been disappointed in promised car
rage ride on his way home, the young
man left the latter place afoot at O'Clock
Saturday evening, arriving at Medford at
s o'clock, where he remained all night.
From there the only way to reach Mount
Holly was to walk Shortly after starting
he was met by a gentleman whose car
rage was occupied. but while the good
Samaritan could not give George a ride
he kindly relieved him of his dress suit
