thought the main attraction for the

thought the main attraction for the
young man at the house was the mother
Mrs. Medara said she knew all about
l1rma's history when she became the
second wife of her husband. She told OF
seeing the story of the occurrence in the
paper and wanted to get home to Irma
and take her in her arms and comfort
her. She said she liked Abner Rogers as
she would her brother, in fact better
than she liked her brother, who treats
her like dog, but she said, There was
nothing between u.s." She denied ever
whipping the child. Prosecutor Atkin-
son plainly intimated that he did not
believe that part of the story and told
her that she must keep her hands off the
child. Mrs. Medara agreed to this, but
the husband was inclined to be rather
obstinate and wanted to show his author
| ity. The Prosecutor will keep his eve
on this man.
The jury took longer to reach con-
clusion than was expected, as it was a
plain case of a self-inflicted wound. The
verdict finally reached was that Rogers
came to his death from pistol shot,
self inflicted, but it could not be deter
mined whether the act was intentional
or accidental.
Considerable interest has been aroused
over the position of Irma. The child is
10 years of age. She cannot read or write
and the records show that she has been
to school but 56 days in the past school
year. The truant officer said he had
tried to get the parents to send her, and
Within the past month had been on the
point of bringing the case to the atten-
ton of the court. The father said the
child could not learn, that she was not
capable of learning, but that, of course,
was only because he wanted an excuse.
Rev. Mr.. Bostwick said he could get the
child into an institution where she would
be taught and have good training. Mr.
Robbins said he was willing to take her
home with him right away, but when
Irma was asked if she wanted to go she
made decidedly negative answer.
While she had good home with Mr..
Robbins there was some doubt whether
she ought to be allowed to spend her
young life at work. 1t was shown that |
she had plenty TO do while at the Rob |
bins home and was compelled to arise,
with switch hanging over her, at half
past five O'Clock in the morning, and |
there was no evidence that she had been
given a chance to go to school while
there.
The general opinion appeared to be
that the project of Rev. Mr.. Bostwick
was about the best that could be sug-
gested. The child is not the offspring of
the Medaras, and while they have had
her for long time, it would seem as if
they did not have any especial interest
in her. Prosecutor Atkinson has the
case under consideration and there is no
doubt something will be done to make a
change in what appears to have been not
particularly happy life.

Judge Lippincott attempted to clear
the list of appeal cases last week and he
did very well, trying all that were re-
ported ready. The first to be called was
that of John F. Boyer against Henry
Walter, of Riverside, to recover $171. so
building. Boyer was subcontractor,
and when his employer failed to COM
plete the work Walter assured him that
he would be paid for the masonry work
he would have to do to complete the job.
Boyer said this promise had not been
lived up to. Decision was rendered for
the plaintiff for the full amount.
Decision was rendered in the suit
of William K. Leon against r. Sherman
Borden. The former claimed that Bor-
denis heavy auto truck backed into
Ileon's automobile and damaged it to
the amount of $3.50. Borden disputed
the allegation and said that Leon was
the offender. Plaintiff was given $27.
l.. H. Chambers, of Unionville, had a
N.
niger, to whom he had delivered lumber
which he valued at $28. This was a very
clear case and Chambers was given a
verdict for the full amount of his claim.
The next suit was to recover the amount
of board for some cattle. John l.. War
rem, of Willingboro township, sold the
stock to George A. G. Jacoby, together
with the farm on which it was quartered.
Jacoby understood that Warren was to
care for the stock free of charge until the
former arrived at the place, which was
four days later. Then, when he did get
there he was asked to remain, as he sup
posed as a guest, but later he received a
bill for S57 for the board of the cattle. He
disputed this claim and the assignee of
Jacoby brought suit for the amount, and
the court gave verdict for $25.37.
Henry Barry, the Moorestown hotel
keeper, asked for SIS for boarding the
late Richard G. Dudley. This was a
very moderate charge, covering board fol-
about four years. Dudley went to the
Soldiers Home at Hampton, Va, and
with the idea that he did not have any
money Mr.. Barry did not press his claim
Later it was disclosed that Dudley left o
small estate and suit was brought De
cision was reserved in this case.
On Thursday Prosecutor Atkinson haC
but one criminal case to present to the
court. 1t was that of Orien Pippett, O
Bordentown, who was charged with re
sisting and assaulting Mayor Gilbert, o
that city. A sentence of two months in
the county Jail was imposed.
Objection was raised to the probate o
the will of William Burns, formerly 0
Bordentown. Israel Jarrett, who wa
the son-in-law of Burns, claimed tina
the paper offered for probate was not tn
same will that he had read after tn
death of Burns. The testimony failed T.
show any ground for this suspicion an
the will was ordered probated.

Base Ball.


Rain prevented any games being
played on Saturday in the Central
League. The schedule for next Satur-
day is as follows:
Moorestown at Mount Holly
HainespoFt at Medford
Delanco at Riverside
A meeting of the league officials was
held on Friday night. The most i'm
portant business transacted was giving
permission to Moorestown, Delanco and
Hainesport clubs to add some new play
ers to their lists. At the beginning of
the season each manager was required
to furnish list of players, which could
not be changed without consent.
Action was postponed on the forfeited
game, Medford VS.. Delanco, on June 20.
Medford was scheduled to play at De-
lance, that day, but did not appear, as
most of their players went to Trenton to
participate in the patriotic parade there,
The Delanco team appeared on the field,
ready to play, and the umpire, accord
ing to the league rules, declared the
game forfeited to Delanco. This action
cannot be changed, but the payment Of
SIS fine by the club failing to appear
also provided by the rules, may b.
changed by vote of the league officials
This will be decided at the next meet
ing.
| The standing of the clubs, therefore, i
slightly different from that published
last week, and is as follows:

carnival and regatta to be held on the

Horner, Edward b. Jones.

awarded for unique and novel ideas, as
well as for beauty alone.
A final meeting of all persons inter-
ested will be held at Good Intent engine
house on Friday night.
The Samones band of Philadelphia
