The Wriphtstown Camp

| There are about dozen tents on the
camp grounds near Wrightstown, and
surveyors are at work making measure
ments for the purpose OF getting the
place in shape for occupancy by the
troops. The Pennsylvania railroad
company is preparing for the heavy
travel that will go over the lines and is
laying 100 Id. rails between Lewistown
and Wrightstown on the U. 7. road.
1t is reported that it is purposed to
take over 200 acres more toward Penn
berton.
All the townships that are close to
the camping grounds are taking steps
toward preserving lorder and will ap-
point special officers who will be sworn
in as policemen and law and order men.
Sheriff Stecher and Prosecutor Kelsey
will confer with the township author
tiles on these appointments.
Thehotel men within a radius of five
miles have held conferences and have
agreed to restrict the. sale of liquor SO
that there will not be any chance to
charge violations of the law. Nothing
will be sold under the wholesale licen-
ses except to persons who are known to
be absolutely entitled to purchase in
that manner.
Rumors are afloat that arrangements
are being made to open establishments
that will apparently be harmless but
which, in reality may be detrimental
to the community. With this in view
Prosecutor Kelsey has prepared sum-
mary of what should be inserted in
leases. He suggests the following:
"That a tenant shall not assign this
agreement nor sublet the premises or
any part thereof, nor permit or suffer
upon the same any act or thing deem
ed extra hazardous on account of fire,
and that he shall not permit or suffer
to be used or occupied any part or par
Gel of the said premises other than as
there fill in what the property is to be
used or occupied for.)
THAT the tenant hereby consents to,
and agrees to observe, the regulations
printed hereon, and which are hereby
made part OF this agreement, and to
any reasonable alteration or regulotion
that may be deemed necessary to COM
ply WIN any ordnance OF the munlclp-
atty or for general control, conduct
and health of the community.
This lease is granted upon the ex-
press condition, however, that in case
the said tenant fails to observe the reg
ulations governing said premises, or to
carry out all the covenants or condi-
tions of this lease, or in case the said
landlord deems Objectionable or inn
proper conduct of the said tenant or
occupant, said landlord shall have full
power and authority to re enter and
have full possession of said premises,
either with or without legal process, on
giving five days previous notice of in
tention so to do, and rendering repay
ment of the rent paid on account of
the unexpired term demised, and, up
on the expiration of said notice and
tender Of payment made aforesaid, the
landlord shall be entitled to the i'm
mediate possession thereof; and in con-
sideration of the above letting the ten
ant agrees that the said landlord shall
not be liable to prosecution or damages
for so resuming possession of said

Base Ball.

Saturday was day of surprise to
Mount Holly and Florence. Mount
Holly was delighted and surprised for
the hackers of that team went to Flor
ence with the possibility of defeat star
ing them in the face, but determined
nevertheless, to make the home team
play ball. Florence was verv much
surprised but was not equally DELIGHT
ed at the way the game terminated
The members and supporters of that
team had been telling just what thew
would do to Mount Holly and accord
ing to their ideas the game was really
ended before it began with a large
score in favor of the foundrymen,
while Mount Holly was to wiped off
the earth.
But base ball does not always turn
out as predicted, Mount Holly went
on the field with the determination to
make the other side pull hard for all it
wanted. For the first four innings
Mount Holly failed to get men beyond
first base, but in the fifth innings there
was something doing. Shemelia got
to first on an error of the shortstop.
The latter dropped an easy fly and, as
usual when things do not 90 exactly
according to his notion, this made
Jack Sweeney, the star pitcher for
Florence, peeved, and he seemed to
lose control for F. Foulks hit ball to
Sweeney on which the latter tried to
make double play but failed COM
pletely. Then Frank Peacock, who
was not thought good enough for
Florence to consider for the first team,
sent fine three-base hit which scored
Shemelia and f. Foulks. Forbes was
the next man to the bat and as
Sweeney pitched the ball young
Peacock started for home, Forbes bunt
ed, the runner was safe but Forbes was
out at first. This ended the run get
ting and the game was won.
Florence felt pretty good in the eighth
inning. Kuhns was sent to first on
balls. The next two men were struck
out. McGrath got hit and he and
Kuhns occupied first and second. The
next man, O'Rourke, had been hitting
The ball, so it was decided to walk him.
which Disguised the young man very
much. This filed the bases and
Florence thought it saw a ray of sun
light, but the next man sent fly ball
70 Gillian and the anxiety on one side
and the hope on the other faded away.
The score follows:

Judge Lippincott held his usual
weekly session of court on Thursday.
Testimony was heard relative to pro-
batting the will of Joseph G. Shinn,
deceased, late of Palmyra, which the
surrogate had refused on account of a
technical error about the witnessing of
the document.
r. H. Nevius and L. j. Steinmetz
were the witnesses.
Mr.. MENUS testified that the testator
had requested him and Mr.. Steinmetz
to witness his will. All three were
present when Mr.. Shinn signed and
declared it to be his will. Mr.. Nevius
signed as witness after he had seen
Mr.. Shinn attach his signature.
Mr.. Nevius left the room immedia-
tely after signing. and did not see the
other witness affix his signature.
This testimony was corroborated by
the other witness, Mr.. Steinmetz, who
said he was present when all the sigma
lures were attached.
The court ruled that the will had not
been properly attested and could not
be probated. He said he hoped the
case would be appealed so that this
question of proper attestation could be
placed squarely before the Supreme
Court. which had never yet occurred.
S. A. Atkinson, who represented the
heirs, stated that the estate is small,
there is no controversy between the
heirs, and the case will not beappealed.
Israel Bowker, Jr., was given an OPP
portunity to explain why he had
broken one of the provisions of his
parole. He pleaded non vult conten-
dere, last October, to charge of beat.
ing his wife. He was placed in charge
of the probation officer and told to alb
stain from the use of liquor for six
months. 1t was charged that ht
violated the prohibition promise.
The testimony disclosed that Bowkel
had become intoxicated several timei
during the probationary period
He was sentenced to four months il
the county jail.
