THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 21st, 1938 $2.00 a year in advance; $2.50 to U. S. A. Blighted Love is Said Cause of Axe Attack Farmhand, 19, Accused of Assaulting Mother of Girl After He Wab Forbidden in House Special to Toronto Telegram: Cobouirg, July 18th.--A frustrated lo-vie affair is blamed for the alleged attack on Mrs. Edith Parker, of Hamilton Township, for which Harold Oliver, 18-year-old farm hand, is charged with attempted murder and arson. He will appear in Couirt tomor- Police allege that the youth struck Mm Parker on, the bead with the flat side of the axe and then tried to set Are to the house. Bert Oliver, father of the youth, told The Telegram this afternoon that Mrs. Parker had forbidden the youth to see hiear daughter, Josephine, with whom the youth had been keeping company, and that young Oiver had been brooding over it for somie time. He raeiver drank) or smoked and was a ways a good boy. I told him to forget about the gird, but I guess it preyed on his mind,' stated Mr. Oliver. Horses Gave Clue The youth was found about noon when Wilbert MoMann, his uncle, was working in a field. "The team shied and when I looked to see what was the matter, I saw Harold Oliver get up out of the grass and I asked him what he ha^ done. He seemed in a daze and didn't rememiber much about, it." stated MoMann. ■Provincial Constable A. L. Miennie went to the McMann farm and took the youth into custody. The constable had in the car an axe found in the upper hall of the Parker home, near Mrs. Parker's bedroom. Mennie quoted Oliver as telling him that he had used the axe to hit Mrs. Parker on the head with the side of it. "I hope she gets better because I don't want bJer to die," he said Oliver toldl him. Young Oliver led police to a lake about a mile east of the MaMann farm I house. He admitted he had driven I down there with the intention of committing suicide, officers said, but had changed his mind. When the Telegram saw Mrs. Parker this morning she was oonsrious but had little recollection of what had transpired. "It all seemis confused to m ;. I he hit me when I got up to Watch for Army Worms Severe outbreaks of the Army Worm occurring in most parts of Ontario, including several areas in Northum- i bertand County. These worms are hatching in mliillions in certain infes- [ ted areas and as they are ravenouns ' feeders they soon destroy an ei j field of grain. The worms when full grown nearly two inches in length. The color is green to brown or nearly black with longitudinal stripes along the back and sides. Agricultural Representative A. Miartin, at Brighton, advises that the farmers should take a walk through all standing grain and corn fields in the evening, to see if the insects, are present in large numtbers. The worms feed mostly at night and start on tlhe lower leaves at first, so that unless the fields are carefully examined, serious damage may be done before the presence of the worms are detected. Poison bran bait has proven effective in all grain fields where it has been applied. Reports show that 90% of tbe worms are killed toy this method. Poison bait consists of Bran 25lbs, Paris Green lib,. Oheaip Molasses V2 gallon, and water enough "to moisten the bait without making it sloppy, ebbut 2% gallons. Mix the bran and Paris green dry thoroughly. Next level the surface of the pile and add the water and molasses and shovel until 'the mixture is well moistened so that it will fall through the fingers like moist This should be scattered over the field by hand after 6.00 p.m. The above amount is sufficient for about Herbert Marshall Roblin A respected resident of Brighton, Herbert Mashall Roblin died Saturday, July '1.7th, 1938. (Some years ago he conducted a stove and hardware business in Col-borne. Up until one year ago he was for some time engaged as a commercial traveller and was well and favourably known throughout On- He is survived by his wife, the for-, mer Beirnlce Brown of Brighton, three daughters, Mrs. L. B. Maybee and Misses Doris and Muriel, all of To< ronto, and a son, Norman Roblin oi London. Miss Ethel Pearl Merrill, daughtej of Mrs. Samuel Merrill of Wat-worth; caught nre from an electric hot plati and she was so severely burned tha; death took plaoe the following daji July 8th. She was 37 years of age The funeral was held on Sunday, id ferment was in Warkworth Oemeterj? Lakeview W. I. Held Picnic The Lakeview W. I. held a very successful picnic on July 14th, 1938, Little Lake, with a good attendee. Owing to the rain the sports were delayed, but everyone enjoyed themselves. There were eleven races which were won by the members' children. At 5 p.m. about 25 sat dowp table laden with good things to eat. After all had done justice toward lightening the load on the table they, started for home. This treatment has proven effective even in heavy stands of grain. Any lodged' grain should be shaken with a fork after the poison has been applied. Say Wires Cut Police beilieve that Oliver cut the telephone wires. Police state that he threatened to kill both of the wcmen but that Mrs. Parker and Josephine tried to reason with him and eventually he put down the axe. It is charged that after he struck the mother, Oliver ordered the girl out of the room and tried to induce her tio drink a liquid which he had in a dipper. The liquid was subsequently taken to T'r. W. E. Wilkins, Cobourg M.O.H., wio sent it to Toronto for analysis. They state the girl refused to drink ft and that Oliver went downstairs and started a fire in the-living roori The daughter managed to get the ire out. Appeal Dismissed The Supreme Court of Canada by unanimous cecision, dismissed the appea:: of lite Attorney-General of Ontario a.aiist the decision of the Ontario Appelate Court quashing the conviction of John A. Comba of Renfrew. otvi;k[ at Pembroke last fall for the nurder of 13-year-old Ethel Hederv.-icl nar Renfrew last August. By the ax^e ruling Comba is freed of the -m.T(.i :• charge and will not ha.ve to stand trial again. Beer Custom of 40 Years Ago Costly at Barn Raising Now Lindsay, July 16. -- Things are su different these days that even the industrial pursuit of barn-raising has changed its mode and character, according to Magistrate W. A. P. Campbell, of Port Hope, who presided in Police Count here yesterday. •'Forty yeans ago," recalled the magistrate, "a ham was not considered properly raised unless there . koK or two of beer , was a Now "when a barn is raised, one is more likely to see a police officer making sure that the beer is conspicuous by its absence." Charles MciNenny, Garden Township, charged with having beer illegally, said he had been building a barn, and' thought his helpers should have something to quench their thirst. His gratitude for his neighbours' assitance cost him . $100 and costs, with an alternative of three months in jail. It looked like old home week for Garden residents in the court-room'. Wilfred Burke, also from that township, was assessed $100 and costs on an illegal having charge, while Cecal Holder, another Garden resident, was levied a similar sum for having liquor not purchased from a Government "It is time you bootleggers. learned that the police are just as smart as you, and are learning more of your tricks every day," remarked the magistrate.
