MENTEN FREED ON DRUNK
EN- DRIVING CHARGE
But Made To Pay Costs OF Case
Arising In New Hope Melee

James Mention, of New York, who
was arrested in New Hope on Aug
ust 1st for drunken driving, resist
ing arrest and assault and battery,
was freed on the one charge of
drunken driving yesterday in Judge
Ryan's court at Doylestown. Why
the other charges of resisting arrest
and assault and battery were ig-
nored nobody seems to know.
Mentions father, Thomas Mention,
of Centre Bridge, and his brother,
William Mention, were also arrested
at the same time. They were charged
with drunkenness, resisting arrest
and assault and battery. Their cases
were continued until the next term
of court.
Although James Mention was freed
of the charge of drunken driving he
was made to pay the costs Of the
case, which is considerable, and as
he had legal representation in court
it is evident that his costs were
heavy.

DROWNS IN
MILL RACE
Hiram b. Scarborough Meets Same
Fate OF His Brother

bertvile-Hiram B. Scarhor-
ough, 80 years old, of New Hope,
was found Saturday afternoon lodg-
ed against the gates of the mill
race at the Wallace Milling Com
pany. The discovery of his body was
made by Edward Slack and Charles
Rocco, employees of the mill, when
they were closing the gates in shut
ting down the mill Saturday after
noon.
The victim was last seen Thurs
day night when the Tunny- Dempsey
fight returns were coming in. He had
evidently stumbled into the mill race
in the darkness, and as people sell
dom pass the spot during the night
it is supposed that if he made any
cries they were unheard When the
body was found Coroner Charles, of
Pennington, was notified and after
viewing the body he gave accidental
drowning as the cause of death.
Andrew Scarborough, his brother,
met his death in similar way some
six years ago when he fell into
the river. His son, Howard, also
met an accidental death when he
was killed by a train near Somer-
vile in 1919. The deceased was
for a number of years an expert
telegraph and radio operator, but
of late years had been employed in
Delaware shad fishing.
Funeral was held Tuesday morn
ing from the home of his mother,
Mrs. Mary Scarborough. with re-
QUEEN high mass in St. Martins
Church at 10 o'clock conducted by
Rev. j. C. Fleming. Interment was
in st. Martins Cemetery under the
direction of Edward j. Moonan, of
Lambertville.
Besides his mother, he is survived
by his wife, Mrs. Emma Scarbor-
ough, and one daughter, Mrs. Hattie
Foster, of Long Island; one sister,
Mrs. Frank Corrigan, of Phillips
burg, and two brothers, Albert Scar
borough, of New York, and Frank
Scarborough, of New Hope.

! secured in the campaign. Those who

ule in the page announcement which

of securing points in the campaign
by securing cash subscriptions and
by clipping out the coupons which
will be printed in the paper each
issue.
This campaign can be worked in
your spare time. There will probab-
ly be no one entered who will be
able to devote their full time to it..
1t is the busy people who do things
and there are very few people who
are not busy nowadays. No matter
if you have other things to do,
enter this campaign and work in

one can tell what he or she can
do until an effort is made. There

thing either to enter or to win one
of the prizes.
1t will not be difficult matter
to win car. Everyone who enters
will have an equal chance. No one
person will have more of an advan-
tage than another. Ali who enter do
so with the assurance that they will
get square deal in every sense of
the word, and there will be no fa-
yoritism or partiality shown any
worker during the campaign.
This is the biggest and best OPP
portunity ever offered in this Sec
tion to get free automobile for
only a few weeks work, and an OPP
portunity which by all means should
be taken advantage of.
A decreasing point schedule will
be used and more points will be
given for subscriptions during the
first of the campaign than at any
other time so there will be big
advantage in getting an early start.
The earlier you send in that en-
trance coupon and begin active
work, the better your chances will
be of becoming the owner of the
Nash Sedan or the Ford Tudor Sc
dan on November 10.

campaign just call at the Record
and News Office or phone Lambert
vile 102 and ask for the Campaign
