Just at the present time there is great need of police duty in Russia. It is pleasing to note that the people of Great Britain and the United States are becoming aroused to the extreme danger of the situation in Russia. But a policeman who annexes territory is considered a grafter in civil life. He has been untrue to the pur- pose for which he entered police life. His business is to protect-- not to grasp, and to steal, and to bully, and to tax, and to enslave. The happiness of ourselves, and of our children, is bound up 'in this great effort to obtain permanent peace, and prayer and action are needed as never before. Above all we shall have to extend our conception of the golden rule.

Perry, heard a noise in his chicken house early on Thursday morning, he immediately donned his clothing, seized a loaded shot gun and hastened to the spot where the noise had come. In the darkness he detected the figure of man fleeing from the chicken house and he immediately fired after calling the man to stop. His body penetrated with puck shot and painfully wounded, his tracks and was captured by the irate farmer. As it was seen that he required medical attention the injured man was taken to Oshawa General Hospital, where he was cared for by Dr. Ferrier. ~~ According to information which Medd gave to Chief Con- stable Nesbitt, of Port Perry, he had heard a noise in his chicken coop and seizing his gun went out to investigate. At the door of the hen house he claims that he was met by Clayton who was carrying a bag of chickens in each hand. Clayton dropped the bags and attacked the farmer. After a brief struggle in which Medd was bruised and scratched the intruder released his hold and started to run for his car, a coupe, which was parked near by. He was too late, however, as the indignant farmer fired his gun and Clayton fell under the charge of buckshot. The alleged thief surfendered to the farmer and the latter immediately communi. cated with the police at Port Perry. Ten minutes later Chief Nesbitt arrived, being taxied over five miles of rough road by Harold Archer, of Archer Motor Sales. Clayton was taken in custody and it was found, that eighteen chickens were concealed in sacks in the rear compartment of his coupe which was brought to town by County Constable Frank Shepherd. The birds were not Medd's and it was concluded that they had been stolen a few hours previous from two other farmers, whose names 'have not yet been ascertained. = Chief Nesbitt brought Clayton to the hospital at Oshawa. The activities of the alleged thief are now being investigated by Chief Nesbitt and Provincial Constable Mitchell. The accused man is said to be over the age of 40 and is a bachelor. Chief James Walker, of Markham, stated in conversa- tion with The Times, that Clayton had resided near Markham for a number of year but recently had been living at an address in To- oronto. Dr. Ferrier, who is attending the injured man has expressed | the is only a matter of time. e wounds caused by the buckshot, ie majority of which were found in the lower part of the back, have been probed and the shot removed.

The deceased woman died in ambulance while being conveyed to the Oshawa Hospital. ~ According to information in the hands of Chief of Police Herb.

RODD, BROOKLIN,| be much apreciated. Rodd's car for some reason as yet unknown, sideswiped a car going south and owned and driven by Walter W. Free, of 152 Lindsay street, Lindsay, and both machines were wrecked and ditched. The force of the impact took the top clean off Rodd's car, and all three occupants were badly injured. Mr. Free escaped injury and his wife, who was with him sustained only a few cuts from a broken windshield. Mr. Rodd and his mother sustained terrible head and other injuries, while Mrs. Read had a wrist broken and sustained internal and external injuries. Dr. R. T. MacLaren, of Whitby, who was called to the scene and rendered first aid, took Mrs. Read to the Hospital while the other two injured were placed in an Ambulance from Whitby and rushed to Oshawa. As the ambulance reached Whithy it was found that Mrs. Rodd had passed away. Chief Gunson, Whitby, and County Constable George Brown, Brooklin, in their investigation, learned that after the crash, which occurred on Croxall's hill near the 7th concession of Whitby, Rodd's car, which had been travelling north was thrown a distance of 48 feet and landed in the east side of the ditch, facing north- west. The Free car, which had been travelling south, landing: in a ditch on the east side of the road. Free's car sustained very little damage but the other machine was completely wrecked. A car owned by Mr. E. Johnston, of Blackwater, and driven by his wife, was travelling south behind the car which was oper- ated by Mr. Free and sideswiped by the Rodd Pontiac coupe. Mr. Johnston and two others with him, Miss Ida Moore, of Blackwater, and W. C. Gannon, of Buffalo, were able to give the police some details of how the accident happened. No person has so far been held. ; The victims of the accident are all well known, and highly esteemed people in this district, and the news of the tragedy has thrown the entire countryside into mourning.

A number of the young people at- tended the High School concert in Whitby on Friday night and saw the play "As You Like It" given by the pupils of the school.

The three of them were coming up Jeffrey's hill a mile north of Brooklin, when Carman turned out to pass an- other car that was just ahead, he had a headon colision with a Buick south bound.

Water was running over the highway, and dyna- miting may be necessary to clear the ice from the stream. The Oshawa creek was also swollen, but so far has not overflown its banks. The Pickering creek subsided after the ice jam was dynamited Friday ight, and Sunday morning presented a docile appearance with the water at fairly ow level. Soon fter noon, ice began to collect," having floated down from the upper part of the creek, and by four o'clock a serious jam was forming just above the bridge. The water son rose, and by sunset was flowing over the highway to a depth of about ix inches. This condition prevailed for several hours. About nine o'clock last night the waters began to recede and by a foot leaving the highway clear.
