NOTES.
Two pocket peddlers were arrested on
the grounds by the officers. There seem.
ed to be hut little of the business going
on, and there was very little intoxication
about the fair.
Two men who were shooting craps
without any attempt at concealment
were arrested by Deputy Sheriff Niles,
and before Trial Justice Barrows were
fined a small amount which they paid.
Herbert NJ. Tucker, who exhibited his
herd of Jerseys at this fair, and whose
farm is only a few miles from Canton,
won a silver cup at the state fair in the
stock Judging contest, scoring 465 points
out of possible 500, his nearest COM
petitor in a list of fifteen having score
of AS. This week Mr.. Tucker will
judge the stock at the large fair in
Rochester, N. Fl.
During the county fair tent belong
ing to Robert Kerr, which was pitched
on Pleasant Street, not far from the fair
grounds, disappeared one night. The
tent had a mark on it by which it could
be easily identified. 1t was found in
use by one of the takers at Canton. He
returned it, and paid Kerr three dollars
for his trouble and expense, in consider
alton Of there being no further trouble In
the matter.
As the teams came off the track from
the parade Wednesday noon, the little
three. year-old daughter of W. l.. Roberts
of Canton ran out directly in front Of the
first pair of horses that came through
the gate at the inside of the track. She
was struck and knocked down by the
horses, which passed directly over her.
1t was scary looking bapp enng, but
fortunately neither of the horses stepped
on her, and though she was hurried to
doctor, she was found to be not badly
injured.
