DECIDE THAT TENT NOT A DWELLING ' Silas Taylor of Brantford was fined |50 and costs, with an optioa of two months in police court last week on a charge of having liquor in an il- legal place. The case roused much interest, for the defendant alleged that he had been ordered by his doctor to sleep in a tent during the summer months, and the liquor found there, he contended, was because of his illness. A. H. Boddy inosecuted, and M. W. McEwen ap- peared for the defence. Acting Magistrates Bunnell and Buskard found against the defend- ant, holding that a tent was not a dwelling house within the meaning of the Act, that the liquor was not procured legally. having been brought there by other parties and that it was not kept in a sick room. Young Child Saved From Drowniiig By Small Boy ONE YEAR OLD SON OF MB. AND MRS. J. WICKENS FELL INTO BEAVER RIVER AND WAS RESCUED BY KEN. GILBERT. A very conspicuous act of bravery was shown last week by a small boy, Kenneth Gilbert, son of Mr. and Mrs. Willard Gilbert of this place." A number ^f children had gone to the home of Mr. John Wickens to a birth- day party and were going swimming in the river. A baby of one year old hnd not walking, crept to the river some distance down stream and fell into the water. Kenneth thought he heard something and rushing down was just in time to rescue the child from deep water. He shook the water from the child's mouth and ran to the house, almost before any of the other children knew what had oc- curred. Kenneth did -not_ lose his head as so many older people have done and by his counu^e has saved the life of the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Wickens. We think that he ought to be congratulated.
