Ahont Lost Articles

A young Moorestown lady recently at
tended wedding in Philadelphia, and
when leaving for home found someone had
taken her broadcloth coat and lefta cheap
coat in its place. The hostess believed
the exchange had been made by mistake
and expected its return at an early date,
but as the coat did not show up within q
month after being taken, the case was
placed into the hands of detective. He
was given the names of the different
guests and in two days time the coat was
returned to the hostess, and, that too,
without detective calling on any of the
parties at the reception.
A lady attended an entertainment In the
opera house soon after Christmas, carry
ing with her fine muff 1t was laid on
one of the seats. and on getting up to go
home the lady discovered that the muff
had disappeared. She advertised for it
but did not succeed in recovering it. EYi-
dence had been produced to show that the
article had been picked up, Intentionally,
or otherwise, by person in the opera
house, and it is likely there will be an
arrest if the muff is not returned or paid
for.
There seems to be an idea among those
who find articles that there is no response
bility attached to them in the matter II
the owner does not advertise or search for
the property it is taken for granted the
finder is entitled to keep it. This is
wrong. 1t is the duty of every one who
finds an article to make diligent inquiry
and to advertise for the owner. If this is
not done and the lost property is after
wards discovered in the possession OF the
finder the latter becomes liable for larceny.
A case comes to mind which happened
possibly twenty years ago. A man found
a ring. He advertised it and said it would
be returned by paying certain reward
and addressing box at the post Office
The legal authorities were called upon
the postmaster disclosed the name of the
box owner, and he was given the alterna
tive of handing out the ring or being ar
rested. He chose the former procedure.

Shooting M atch

Harvey E. Stewart of Riverside, de-
feated Richard Lamb, of Mount Holly,
Thursday afternoon. at Point Breeze in a
100 bird race by the score of N to75 The
rivalry existing between the gunners at
tracted the largest crowd which ever
witnessed match shot at the race track,
and until the finish the adherents of both
men were worked up to high pitch of
excitement.
With good, substantial side bet on the
result of the race, and urged on by their
friends, the gunners were on edge from
the first bird. Both shot steadily in the
face of fast lot of birds and the excite
ment of the race. Lamb got two bird
lead on Stewart on the first twenty-five
birds, he grassing twenty to Stewards
eighteen. But the Riverside man shot
well on his next two rounds, killing
twenty-one out of each twenty-five, while
Lamb let seven get away on each round.
this giving Stewart four bird lead when
the gunners started on their last quarter.
The Riverside man got off poorly by
missing his first two birds, and then let
his sixth get away Lamb then was
but one bird behind, but lost chance to
crawl up by having his sixth get away.
Stewart, however, was still in the slump,
for his seventh, eighth, eleventh and
| twelfth escaped him. Lamb was ahead by
two birds when he stepped to the traps to
shoot at his twelfth bird, and it began to
look as if the Mount Holly gunner was
going to win. But he then ran poorly
for his twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth
pigeons all escaped the shot fired at them,
giving Stewart the lead again by one
pigeon. Lamb again let his twenty-frst
bird get away putting Stewart two ahead,
and as the latter gunner had recovered
himself and was shooting steadily it all
depended upon the last few birds Stewart
missed his twenty-third bird, but so did
Lamb it then being up to the latter to kill
both birds of the remaining quarter to tie
Stewart, providing the latter lost his last
birds. But Stewart grassed both, and
while Lamb did the same, the former man
won the most exciting match ever decided
before the Point Breeze traps.

Richmond. Va, March 9.-President Taft
is said 10 be ready TO consult the lily

to take up appointments for Virginia.
There Is good reason 10 believe that
Marshal Morgan Treat. OF the Eastern

lector OF customs OF Newport News, are
the men who are sure TO give way 70
men who are newer in the cause OF the
Republicans, men who have never be-
fore held ONCE, and men who have been
acting for themselves in the casting OF
their ballots.
These new appOintees are said 10 belong
to that class affiliated with the Taft
Democrats and anti-Bryan Democrats;
have never voted for Bryan. and have
been political outcasts. so far as the
Democrats are concerned. since 1896.
That President Taft viii be guided IN
large measure by the men who have ar
rived at the conclusion that the time has
come when the South must be split is
generally understood It Is equally un-
derstood that there are to be no negroes
in positions OF Importance in the South.
and thus as a political factor the negro
is thing of the past so far as the South
is concerned.
The speech made by Judge Taft here
last fall created a fne impression. and
the policies he then outlined Will be vel
coined in this state. II IS no secret that
the Taft Democrats are not seeking any
appointments OF any kind. but II they
come this way they viii not be rejected.
