"TRUTH BEFORE FAVOR." " PRLKCIPLEb NOT MEN.' VOL 3:3 No. 5 Flestierton, Ont., Thursday, July 31 1913 W, H. EDITOR and PliOP r \ A Dastardly Act A lerious crime was committed on Saturday night of last week at the farm of Richard Woods, lot 9, con. 1 , Mel- ancthon. Mr. Woods was the owner of three imported Clydesdn'e stallions. Gay Gartley, Newton Don auJ Sara Brown- Mr. and Mrs. Woods wero in Shelburne on Saturday nignt and returned home about 12 o'clock. It is reported that when Mr. Woods was pu t'ng hia horse away he noticed a man running across the field away from his premises. On Sunday morning when he went to feed Newton Don and Sam Brown h lound both animals very ill and noticed that paris green was scattere 1 around each feed box. He telephoned to Shelburne for Dr. Morgan but he had just lett for Birrie, so Dr. Shields drove out as quickly as possible, but nothing could be done to save their lives and both animal 3 died about 11 o'clock. The third horse Gay Gartley, was at James S* inson's in the New Survey or he probably would have met the same fate. The stallions were both tine animals, and were insured at |2,200 ic the Yorkshire, and another Live Stock company. The crime is a serious one and if ihe perpetrator is found out he will spend a term in the penitent- iary. Crown Attorney McKay was up on Monday but says there is no evidence to offer so far, if an investigation was held. Another sensation was caused on Tues- day afternoon when word reached Shel" burne that another animal hud been found dead at Richard Woods' farm. The report was correct. Mr. Wood had a mare hired during the season from R. A. Jelly of Shelburne. and on Tues- day she was found lying dead in the woods at the rear of his farm. Dr. Mor- gan was sent for to examine the unare and he found that a fractured rib had entered the lungs and caused death. The frac- ture was no doubt caused by a kick from another horse. Shelburne Free Press. Markdale A case of whiskey addressed to Jas. Robinson, Holland Centre, was seized at that station last week by License Inspect- or Halbert. By paying a personal visit to all the James Robinsons in the sur- rounding tiwnships the Inspector was convinced that they knew nothing of the consignment. During his temporary absence form the Centre, Mrs. Mclntosh of Owen Sound, appeared at the station and claimed the whiskey, but was polite- ly informed that the case was in custody. This seemed to greatly concern the Udy who made a hurried exit from the village. The Inspector was ''wise" to her name, however, and she was summoned to appear before Magistrates Armstrong and Enr.is on Friday night to explain her reasons for attempting to smug^o booze into the lccl option town of Owen Sound by this roundabout way, but she failed to put in her appearance. The whiskey was confiscated. An assault case which has been "hang- ing fire" for several weeks, came to a termination on Monday night before Magistrates Armstrong and Knnis. John and Richard Caldwell and John and Matthew Aitkens, farmers of Holland Tp., were the parties concerned, and the cise arose out of a line fence dispute, which dispute became so acute on the Ifith day " f June that the Cald well's are said to have proceeded against the Aitkens with clubs and were going to forcibly demand a settlement. In the melee the Aitkens came off second best, and the police court Case was result. Mr. W. D . Henry was counsel for Aitkens and Mr. P. McCullotigh for Caldwells. Both lawyers and the magistrates have exercised considerable patience over the matter.havingadjouredthecase four times in an endeavor to bring about a recon- ciliation between the parties, but their efforts have beea futile. At the tina sitting of the court on Monday evening, the Caldwells were found guilty of assault and were fined f 13.00 each and costs, in all amounting to 944.30. The line fence dispute still remains unsettled, but pro- ceedings will be taken at once to hve this adjusted, to be hoped with satisfac- tion to all parties concerned. Standard- Meaford and Its Bars The Provincial Secretary has decided that Meaford, Ont., shall have licensed bars until after the local option question is again settled at the municipal poll? in January, 1914. This *ct ; on is the result of a com- promise between the rwo local uaities. In January last the local option by-law was lost by a fraction of a vote, and as both sides claimed illegality, the temper- ance party began an action to have the proceedings annulled. Lster on a deputation waited upon Hon. W. J. Hanna to urge the need of making Meaford "dry" in view of the f ct that there were no bars and a strong temperance sentiment in the surrounding districf. As the provincial Secretary ! '. -vi-il that the action would be settled in the courts within three months, he suggested that licenses should be issued for that period of time. The action, however, was not brought for tiial, and the parties arranged "that licenses should issue as on August 1, that the parties should consent to a judgment annulling the proceedings, that the local option by-law should be submitted again en January 1 next, and that upon its carrying licenses should be forthwith discontinued. This arrangement has met with the approval of all parties concerned. In the evsnt of the defeat of the by-law in January licenses are to be continued. Thrown Over Saw Hanover, July 23. Mr. James Mc- Malum had a very narrow escape yester day from a horrible death at his sawmill, just enst of the town of TIanover. As it i*, he lias a bad'y cut leg and a strained neck and shoulders, which will incap- acitate him for the harvest season. He was engaged filing a large circular saw, and was sitting on a bench with the saw between his Ie,*8. He had turned the power off but bad left the belt on. After filing a tooth of the saw he reached over, pot the large file in the next tooth and drew the saw towards him. He was just about to go through this procedure when one of the workmen in the mill, not knowing Mr. McMahon was about, started the power. Mr.Mahon, who had placed the tile in the groove just prepar- atory to pulling the saw towords him, was lifted bodily like a shot and hurled some fifteen feet away, alighting on his head and shouldeis. He escaped the saw with the exception of his right le?, which received a deep wound some nine inches in length. Had he pulled the saw to- wards him he would no djubt have besn cut in two.
