"TRUTH BEFORE FAVOR." PRINCIPLED NOT MEN. 1 VOL 33 No. 18 Flesherton, Ont., Thursday November 13 1913 W. H. THDRSTON E ' T " aud FKOP Eugenia Power Sold For Taxes At the tax sale held in Owen Sound last week Mill Reserve No.5 was aold fr lazes. This property comprises ninety acres and includes the old Sloan property. It does not take in the p iwers below or the falls proper. The tax a against the property amounted to eleven hundred dollars. Mr. W. A. Armstrong, town- ihip'treasurer, was the purchaser. This is a rather curious outcome of the negotiations which have been proceeding for the past couple of years between the Hydro-Commission and the Georgian Bay Power Company. It is puzzling to many why the Utter compiny would allow their property to go to tax sale at the present criticajl juncture, when the Commission waa about to take over and develop the property, but such is the fact. It may have the effect of delaying matters somewhat, and it certainly will complicate affairs. Struck by a Train On Saturday morning Mr.David Boyce narrowly escaped death at the railway crossing ou the eighth line. He was driving towards Elmvaie about 8 30 o'clock with a wagon loaded with several bags of potatoes aud some grain which he intended to get chopped. Mr. Bnyce was sitting ou the side of the waguu midway betweed the frcut and the hind wheels, facing the north, and did not notice the approach of a G. T. R. freight train from the south. The engine driver saw the team nearingthe crossing, but thought the person in charge had a quiet team that would stand near the railway track as the train passed. In this he was mistaken, the team continued to approach the track and the engineer, too late t> avoid a collision, applied the brakes. The hesvy engine struck the horses which were on the track, throw- ing one through the fence on the east side and dragging the other under the engine abnut forty rods and literally grinding it to pieces. The tongue was broken off the won and every spoke broken out of both front wheels and one hind wheel. Mr. Boyce was picked up by the train crow, under the wagon box. in the ditch, ou the north side of the road. Upon learning that he was not seriously hurt, the crew proceed- ed with the train to Elmvaie. Dr. Spohu of Ptnetaiif.' motored to Elinvale in the afternoon and examined Mr. Boyce, but found that the duly injuries were a bruise on hU back aud a scratch on the forehead. Mr. Boyce's loss amounts to about f50C. Elmvaie Lance. Dundalk Thomas McLeod left in The Herald office last week a couple of choice winter radishes of immense proportions.resembl- ing in appearance the first prize tuinip at the fair.

A Remarkable Escape Hanging by the neck from the limb of a tree with no way of extricating one's self and suffering with intense pain from three broken ribs is not the most pleasant sensation in the world, yet it is what Mr. Hnry Hilts, of Kilsyth, experienced a few days ago,when pinking apples in bis orchard. Had it not been for the timely and fortunate arrival of his wife, Mr. Hilts would net now be alive to tell the tale of hi narrow escape from death by strangulation and he counts himself lucky in getting off as well as be did. For picking apples, Mr. Hilts uses a bag with a leather strap which he puts around his neck and in this way he has both hands free. On the day of the accident he was picking apples from a long ladder and having nearly tilled the bag, was about to descend to empty it. In reaching over to get a few more apple* to fill the bag, the ladder broke and Mr. Hilts fell, striking his left side heavily on one of the limbs of the tree, breaking three of his ribs, two above and one below the heart. The heavy bagful of apples swung over the opposite side of the limb and the uufortunate man was left hanging by the neck in the tree, his feet a short distance from the ground and with no way of freeing himself. He was not able '.o even call for help. Just at that moment, though, Mrs. Hilti happened to come out to the door t.t get a pail and she heard the crash o| the ladder as it broke. Looking up, she noticed Mr. Hilt's plight and at once ran to help him. She could do very little to assist him, however, but she raised him high enough to take the weight off his neck and keep him from strangling, while she called for help. Her daughter, hear ing her cries,rau out and between the two, they were able to rescue Mr. Hilts from his unenviable predicament. Medica aid was then summoned and although his injuries are still painful, Mr. Hilts is now in a fair way towards recovery. The future is not very bright for tho hivrclK>ld.cr8 of the National Portla Cement Co. of Orangeville. Tim special Committee to Investigate matters have found the plant in bad shape, the management having allowed it to get in- to ruin and decay. Pending an audit of the Co's books, the Commitee adjourned. It looks like the end of the Company under existing arrangemeuts and a prob- able loss of whatever mouey went into ^he concern. PricevilleJottings On Friday evening of last we-k we had rain accompanied by thunder and ightning and high temperature, but on Sunday a sudden change came and we got a blustering snowbtorm from the lorth. On Sunday, Nov. 1, a flock of geese flew down Kinross street towards the river, rising up over the houses at the end of the street, but two of their num- jer failed to operate their aeroplanes correctly and came in contact with and smashed two lare panes of glass in W.

A double drowning accident was nar- rowly averted at the new dam here about 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. A scow loaded with gravel was going across the raceway, when it got too far down stream into the current and wan washed by the rushing waters through the eluicewny. John Rowlaud, Jr., who was on the scow at the time of the mishap, made a long- distance jump and landed safely on shore. But Joseph Snider, the other occupant of the craft, stayed with the ship, and when it struck a log and sank, went down with the boat. When his head aftei- wards shot up on the surface, Ivl. Kc lly crtwltd out on a log and held bin face out of the water. In attempting to assist Kelly, John Rowland, Jr., jumped onto a log which overturned and precipitated him into the wet. He was later rescued by his father, who climbed down the sida of the sluice and pulled him out as he shot up I'loni the undercurtent. In the meantime ropes were secured and Snider was lassoed and dragged to land, where he remained a few days recovering from the mishap. The heroic efforts of Kelly are almost sulcly responsible for Snider 's miraculous escape from the coffin trust. Walkerton Her.iid and Times. Vandeleur Happenings Winter has "arove."

Hughson instituted proceedings ugain.st Robert McCutcheon, of Mono Centre, for the administration of the estate of his wife, the late Mary McCutoheon. Mrs. Mc- Cutcheon died on February 16th, 1887, over 2<5 years ago. At tho time of hei death she was the owner of a 100 acre farm, the w I lot 18, con. 2, east, Mono township. On February 28th, following her death, her husband took out letters of administration to her estate, presum ably in the interests of her two daught era, Martha Ann and Edith. The pro- ceedings started by Mr. Hughson in be- half of the daughters took the form of a motion before His Honor, Judge Fisher, foi a proper administration of the estate and an accounting of rents and other profits therefrom and also of the proceeds of cerUin sales of timber. The motion was enlarged from time to time pending the outcome of negotiations for a settle- ment. An arrangement was finally rea died on Monday, whereby legal proceed- ings will be dropped. By the terras ol the settlement, McCutcheon agrees U quit claim the w J of lot 18, the prop- cvi y owned by his wife, to his daughters, to give them a deed of t he e J of 18, con. 2, east, and (1000 in cash. Tho two farms are said to be worth about 95000, so that the daughters will receive about f(i,000 in property aud cash, McCutch eon, who is wealthy but eccentric, wi summoned to appear in the police court some mouths ago ou the charge of ill- treating and abusing his daughters. The revelations at that time caused a great deal of comment and aroused sym- pathy for the daughters. The two arirls have since left thir father's home and are now living with Mr. Wm. Patterson, a farmer in the neighborhood. Banner. Flesherton Planing And Chopping Mills I am now prepared to do chopping very day in the week except Sundays nd every week in the year.
