The Orangeville Man Who Used a Knife on Night Watchman Halbert, Who Was Trying to Arrest Him, Receives Merciful Treatment, Orangeville, . Feb. 22.---The case against "Bob" Cook, which was part- ly heard before Pollice - Magistrate Pattullo a week ago, was concluded at the court house yesterday. The accused was charged with slashing Nightwatchman James Halbert on the night of October 30th last, when that officer was endeavoring to effect arrest on a charge of disorderly con- duet at the house of his - mother-in- law, Mrs. Reid, earlier in the day. The magistrate found Cook guilty. He said there was no doubt the knife was psed against the officers deliber- ately to keep them at bay. He could impose a sentence of fourteen years, but would impose a short sentence of two years in penitentiary. - MACDONALD AS WITNESS. In Rounds With Hellmuth He Won His Side. Toronto, Feb, 2-Dr. J.

It will be remember- ed that in his address to the jury, outlining thes case for Mr. Foster, Mr, Hellmuth said he understood the de- fence would admit certain statements had been made and plead absence of criminal intent, though when thése statements had been made the Globe had defied Mr. Foster and challenged him to bring on a libel suit, It did not take Dr. Macdonald jong to show by direct evidence that the statements on which the challenge wa based were not the statements which 1of the "Sy his | the local meet on the 9th inst.

But he was overruled by the court in nearly every case. When he! started to cross-examine Dr. Maedon- ald the latter, while quite frank throughout, took his own time. In many cases he refused to accept the inference put upon certain statements, and he declined to answer a direct "Yes"" or "No" to a number of the questions. These, he held, could not be answered by a direct yes ore no and be correct. They had to he 'an: swered in full and not in mendsylle® bles. Mr, Macdonald won his 'way al- most every time. Then he objected with success to Mr. Hellmuth reading certain parts of the réports of his speeches and drawing inferences there- from. He also forced the eounsel for the defence to read graphs wherever the context would be otherwise broken. Dr. Macdonald was still on the stand when the court adjourned for; luncheon.

The opposition policy of twenty-mil- lion-dollars now and have done with it is absolute thrift beside the gov- ernment policy of $21,000,000 capital expenditure and $3,000,000 a year up- keep. Thrift is hardly the word for it. It's theif multiplied when we con- sider that we are to take those two Dreadnoughts back, whenever we are ready. The mother country gets the use of them until we need them. It reminds one of an old rag-time song, "l Want Dem Presents Back." There is a story running around the corri- dors of the House of Commans that the policy is even better than that te save money. It is one thing to offer John Bull twenty millions and anoth- er to have him accept it. There is al- ways the chance that he will say "Sir 1" (rising inflection) and refuse the gift with rich purple anger. In that case the Canadian 1 vy would cost nothing at all, and wold make a great hit with the farmers. The pew policy is thrift, plus caution, because it suggests turning the whole question over to the people by the way of a referendum. Leader Monk asks a plebiscite for a policy of nothing-at- all, and Leader Borden asks another on the policy of "offer something on the condition of getting it back." eres University of Paris.
