The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1917-11-13

In the Supreme Court there was a
trial against the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company in which Dorothy E.
Hauser was awarded damages for the
death of her husband. An order has
been signed by Judge Carrow to show
cause why new trial should not be
granted. Robert Peacock had a SIM
liar suit which was pending the decis-
ion in the other case. He has since
settled with the railroad company for
$4,000.
This morning Judge Lippincott puu-
ished three offenders who pleaded
guilty to shooting crap. They were all
strangers, the youngest being II years
of age. Two of them said they were
on their way to Camp Dix when they
met the boy who drew them into a
crap game. The sentence was a fineof
$50 for each one. 1t seemed strange
to the court that two OF these men,
who claimed that it was their first
game, should have come to Mount
Holly to practice on it, but if
thorough watch should be kept it
might transpire that there are MANY
residents Of the town who have been
playing the game for long time with
out being molested and it seems equal
ly queer that strangers should be the
first to fall under the strict surveillance
of the police.

and made formal review of the 311th
Infantry regiment, composed OF Jersey.
men. The soldiers made fine appear
ance, and received ELUSIVE congratula-
tions from the Governor.
1t is reported that Irwin & Leighton
have been relieved of further construc-
ton work at Camp Dix, and that the
]. S. Rogers Company, of Moorestown,
will do the balance of the building
necessary to complete the camp.
The companies comprising the 311th
regiment have been moved to barracks
nearer to the road from Lewistown to
Wrightstown. Visitors to the camp
find that changes are constantly being
made, and it is difficult to keep up
with the removals and engagements
that are taking place.
A number of soldiers were transferred
from here to various other camps
throughout the United States during
the past few days. A small detach-
ment went to France. The present
number of men at Camp Dix is small
er than for several weeks past.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has sent orders from Washington that
2.200 white and 900 negro conscripts
from New Jersey are to be sent to this
camp on November 10Th. This is Is
per cent of the states quota. Con-
scripts from other states are also ex-
pected to arrive next week, as proVis-
ion has been made here to accommo-
date quite number of new men.
