Bard E1Onerafed
OF 4 SsauH Charge

New Hope-Samuel Bard, an EN-
ployee of the American Clay Pro-
ducts Co., was served with a war
rant last Monday issued by Justice
Hendricks, of Doylestown, on charge
made by Mansel Evans of assault.
An encounter took place between
Evans and Bard at Austin e. Faust's
Garage last Saturday afternoon.
At the hearing in Doylestown
Wednesday afternoon Bard was dis
missed, but was made to pay the
costs of some fourteen. dollars. In
the testimony presented at the hear
ing it was shown that Evans had
received an anonymous letter criti-
Ching his attentions to Mrs. Mary
Harvey, of North Main street. He
met Robert Smoyer at Austin &
Faust's Garage and accused him OF
being responsible for the letter.
Smoyer protested his ignorance of
the letter. During the argument sew
eral people gathered, and among
them, Samuel Bard, who was clean
ing his car at the garage. Mrs.
Harvey was also present during the
argument.
According to the testimony, Bard
was drawn into the argument, and
was quoted as answering Evans
charges by telling him, "You ought
to be tarred and feathered and driV-
en- out of town" Justice Hendricks
in dismissing the case, said it was
for this statement by Mr.. Bard that
he imposed the costs. Witnesses ties
fled that Mr.. Evans threatened BARD
by word and gesture, and Bard par
red and gave Evans a blow that
ended the argument.
Mrs. Harvey was witness fol
Evans at the hearing, and was cross.
examined by Arthur NJ. Eastburn
attorney for Bard. While cross-exam
ming her he asked, "You were quite
/ friendly with Mr.. Evans, were yot
not?" She replied, "He is the only
friend have in New Hope
Several carloads of New Hop'
people attended the trial and it il
reported that onlookers to the en-
counter volunteered to bear the cost
of Bards defense of the assault
charge.

HISTORY THAT
FASCINATES YOJ

1t has been well said that Eek
perience is the best teacher And
experience is history. There is no
teaching so Accordingly interesting
as the exciting days of the early
history of this country.
This has been realized by David
Bclasco, the great theatrical produc-
er, and it was demonstrated in one
of the most successful plays he ever
produced, 1.-THE Warrens of Virgin
ia"
The play has now been produced
in the movies, and "The Warrens of
Virginia" will be at the Strand,
Lambertville, tomorrow. 1t is an
absorbing story of the exciting days
of the Civil War. Not only is it a
thrilling page from the book of
