CAMDEN NEWS. Cooper Hospital Patients—Attachment of the Yacht Bonnie Doon. The following persons were admitted to the Cooper Hospital yesterday: William Nefton, aged 32 years, living at No. 215 Taylor's avenue, skull fractured while at work at the Camden Iron Works; James Whiteland, of No. 216 Channing Terrace, contused wound of the finger and hand; John Plum, aged 62 years, of No. 15 Fogarty street, contused wound of the wrist. The talk around the Sheriff's office and along the river front yesterday was the manner in which the "Bonnie Doon," a yacht which was under attachment, issued by the Camden courts, against John Craig, at the instance of Joseph Campbell. Captain Stahr, who was watching the vessel, was taken suddenly ill on Monday night, and was compelled to get a young man to take his place. The watchman had not been off of the boat long before a tug steamed up along side of the Bonnie Doon, and after ordering the young man to go ashore in a small yawl, the seized craft was towed down the river. Telegrams have been sent out to all ports, asking that they look out for the runaway craft.
