Broad Tel. 2-3111 Policeman Takes Custody Of Resident Found Wandering With Bottle In Hand A young fellow of about a year and a half, wearing a diaper which drooped lower with every step and waving a nursing bottle in his hand, stroUed along the middle of New York avenue near the town park Wednesday morn ing about 9 o’clock. B[e didn’t pause for traffic, but traffic paused for hi|m., as he wandered alone and with appar ent unconcern, headed for the railroad track. When he got across from the police station. Officer Malcolha Stout took over, entering on a period of involuntary nursemaid- ing £uid of wondering where the heck Mamma weis. That, also, was what the blonde little boy began to wonder. Sitting on the steps of the po.lice station, his bot tle empty, feeling suddenly lost, he opened his mouth in a wail for her—but since he couldn’t tell her name, or his home address, it didn’t help much. Station WEEB aired the news, but nothing happened for a while—then, around the Ashe Street corner, came two young women looking wildly for some thing—someone—yes, a baby! And there he was! It was a happy reunion. Mrs. EcJward Browning, who was being assisted in her search by a friend, reclaimed her 19- month-old IAWOL Bobby. While she was fixing breakfast for an other child in the kitchen of their home at Broad street and Indiana avenue, she said, Bobby had pushed on out the kitchen door. She didn’t worry, because the dcor opened into his penned-in play-yard. She didn’t know, though, that Bobby had gotten big and strong enough to open a beaverboard closing in the fence. When she looked out, he was gone. “Mama,” said Bobby, snuggling against her contentedly, and dis playing that empty milk bottle, as if to say, “Let’s go home and fill ’er up again.” Bobby’s daddy. Airman 1 c Browning, is on the staff of the Air Ground school. In and Out of Town CRAIG WALGREEN DRUG Sycamore St.. Aberdeen. N. C. WEEKEND DRUG SPEQALS ASPIRIN . . . 5 GR.

Adams Horse Is Destroyed After Racing Injury A brilliant winning streak reached a tragic climax lEist Fri day morning at Saratoga Springs when Mrs. C. E. Adams’ five- year-old gelding Escargot broke down on the race track and had to be mercifully destroyed. EscEirgot was a nose behind the leading King Commander in the 55th running of the $7,500 added Beverwyck Steeplechase Handicap when, just short of the eighth jump, the pastern below his right ankle snapped. The trainer’s son F Dooley Adams, who was up, tried to hold him back but could not do so. The horsef of mighty spirit took the eighth jump on three legs, evi dently in severe pain. It was his last. Purchased by Mrs. Adams last faU for only $3,000 and trained at her stables in Southern Pines, Escargot had won seven straight races before his fatal mishap, for a total of $24,515. It was one of the longest winning streaks in re cent racing history. King Commander, who was leading steeplechaser of 1953, went on to win the Beverwyck. Pwned by L. R. Troiano, he was trained by Michael G. Walsh at Stoneybrook Stables, adjoin ing the Adams place jn Southern Pines. Just the week before, on Thurs day, August 12, Escargot had won the North American Steeplechase Handicap, for a purse of $5,925. Leaders in the field were an all- Southern Pines lineup. King Commander was second by a nose, and third was Sun Shower, owned by Mrs. Vernon G. Cardy of Ste.- Marguerite, Quebec, Can ada, and Vernon Valley Farms in Southern Pines. Sun Shower, also trained by Mickey Walsh, led in winnings at Saratoga' Springs last year, as Escargot bade fair to do this year. Mrs. Adams is known as the best woman trainer of jumpers in the country, and her son has been for years officially the leading steeplechase jockey. As Escargot was dominating the August rac ing season at Saratoga Springs, the Adams-trained Extra Points, owned by Col. L. H. N^les, dom inated the forepart of the June season at Belmont Park. He was the winner of the International SteeplechEise Handicap and other major races. EscEirgot entered the season at Belmont Park in undistinguished fashion, and in two claiming races could have been bought for $3,500. No one, apparently, had a crystal ball. Mrs. Adams, who possibly did, bought him from F. Ambrose Clark 10 or 11 months ago.
