Post card of William S. Hart and his horse Fritz. While he was filming in Felton, someone stole Hart's riding gear:
"It was not difficult for two-gun Bill Hart to "register" anger, impatience, petulance and all around madness this morning in Felton when the terrible truth became known that at some time last night miscreants had entered the stables of Supervisor N. P. Sinnott and made away with that famous gaily caparisoned saddle of the mighty film star, as well as other saddles, two bridles, a double set of blankets and two Mexico McGay ropes belonging to Hart and his right hand man, D. Rollins. The plunder is valued at $350, and Felton is all 'het up.'"
