Bancroft, Oct. loth.--The explosion of a blow torch while in use t_ mechanic in the Kellar & Walker garage was the beginning of a con-flagation which in a very few min-ines enveloped the building in a sheet of flame. So quickly did the fire spread that the workmen were unable to save practically a tool. The garage was equipped with a gasoline-engine, generator and switch board used in the charging of batteries and lighting the premises. Several hurdred dollars worth of tools, about a thousand dollars worth of new tires, just placed in stock for fall trade, about eighty dollars in cash, their book accounts and some car parts were a total loss. The firm estimate their loss at close to four thousand dollars, having only about $500 insurance on the building. Customers who had batteries in for re-charging are also losers to this Although sustaining a heavy loss and losing practically everything, Kellar & Walker set to work the following morning to open up for business in the stand formerlv occupied by Webb & Vader. SHEEP KILLERS CAUGHT IN ACT vo fo Wellington County's sheep killing dogs will pay for their murd-is activities but ribt before they succeedeed in killing five animals almost under the eyes of men work ing in a packing plant behind which the sheep were penned. Wellington Packers, owners of the plant and of the sheep, estimate the lbss at between $80 and $90. and this amount the owner of the dogs no doubt be called upon to pay, since the dogs were traced directly to t" ' home, where they were captured after a two hour chase. The two dogs attacked the sheep in the morning about nine o'clock, killing five and badly wounding one of the small flock of eight. Only twV were unhurt. The dogs chased TW sheep all over the small field, an! with ripping, slashing jaws brought them to earth and worried them to dtath. In every instance the sheep were killed by having their throats torn literally to pieces. The flock had been almost annihilated before men working in the plant heard the commotion and rushed out to drive the dcgs away. The flock, which was kept inside at night, had just been allowed out for the day." WICKLOW October 9th, 1928 Mr. George Clarey of the Standard Eank, Trenton, spent the weekend at home.
