€2nd Year No. I THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6th, 1928 $2.00 a year in advance: $2.50 to U.S.A. (Cobourg Senitlmel-S'tar) According to a letter received by Chief Ruse yesterday J. H. LaChance, who is wanted here on a charge of theft, and the man who is accused of kidnapping Pat Taylor, is wanted in a number of places in Ontario by the police. LaChance lived in Hailebury for a time, going under the name of Captain Bert Enright. From Hailey-bury he went to Barrie, where he is wanted on several charges of obtaining money under false pretenses: In another town he went under the name of Livingstone. LaChance is also wanted in Cobalt on a charge of obtaining $1,85 from a resident of that city. At that town he also had a boy with him, and seated he was going to Toronto, where he was going to get his mother's estate settled up. In New Lis-keard he obtained $150, and in Hailey-bury about $600. In Barrie he collected money for The Shantyman, a lumbermen's paper printed in Toronto, he having collected about $1,000 for that paper. In Pembroke he borrowed $1,400 from a woman to start himself -up in business, but the business failed to materialize, LaChance going to Haileybury, where the lady tried to get the money from him without success. From the records Chief Ruse has been receiving it is evident that he has been going through the country making a living for himself by fraud, and the boy he generally takes with him is used as a decoy to make his story sound good. Word was received here yesterday that LaChance- had been arrested in Woodstock. If so. he will be brought to Cobourg on the theft charge, after which the police of other cities will be given a chance to allow him to answer charges in any city in Which he is wanted. He claimed his home was in Ottawa, hut neither the mayor or the chief of -police in that city know anvthing of him. Dr. J. Archer Brown has sold his practice and residence in Colborne to Dr. Pemher of Toronto, who, with Mrs. Pember, has arrived and taken charge. Dr. Brown will remain for a few weeks to introduce and assist Dr. Pember, who comes highly recommended. For seventeen ,years, Dr. Brown, who is a native of Colborne, has conducted a successful practice here, and with Mrs. Brown, has taken an active part in church, social and community activities. All regret that they are leaving Colborne. For the timebeing, Dr. Brown intends to take a well earned holiday, and, with Mrs. Brown, intends to spend the winter in California. (Cobourg World) On Saturday a deal was. completed whereby Mr. H. O. Taylor purchased the stock of Mr. Edwin Guillet's grocery store. After many years good service to the public in thila capacity, ^M*-<:Millet is retiring from the grocery business. It is a matter for regret to see old established firms pass out of the mercantile history of a town, and this is but another instance. Ninety years ago the late John Guil-let, father of Mr. Edwin Guillet, established a grocery here, and the business has been continuously in the family since. The late John Guillet was succeeded by his son, the late George Gupllet. M.P., and later by Guillet and Bickle, who were followed by Guillet Bros., and then by Mr. Edwin Guillet. who has carried on the business for many years. Read the condensed ads on page 5.
