MITCHELL 157 BROCK STREET For His Bravery While With the 28th Battal- ion. Lance Corpl. Charles Mitchell, which was organized in tho North- west, and who is a son of Mrs. W. MHchell, Rideau street, has - been mentioned in despatches for his good work during the recent engagements on the western front. According to letters received from the front Mit- chell was the only member of a par- ty from his battalion who escaped after doing some great work between the lines. All-of the other members were either killed or badly wounded. Mitchell carried one of the members of the party back to the lines, and was mentioned for honors, The camp where the 28th Battalion is located is situated about a mile from the 21st Battalion camp. Sergt. W. Hazlett writing to friends states that he saw Mitchell and Walter Play- fair, former Kingstonians, who are serving with the 28th. SOCKS ARE ACKNOWLEDGED By Men of the 21st Battalion, Who Write Home, The biggest part of the socks sent by the Whig to the Kingston men of the 21st Battalion serving in France, have reached their destination, The Whig has been notified that thirteen or fourteen bundles had arrived up till the week before Easter, and the other eight parcels were expected any day. The men certainly appreciate the gift, which is shown in the fact that contributors receive letters of ap- preciation from the recipients. One man writing home stated that the men take great pleasure in writ- ing letters to the people who are so kind in making contributions. Mrs. H. E. Baiden, Portsmouth, re- ceived the following letter from Pte. George Rainey, No. 3 Company, 21st Battalion: "A beautiful pair of socks was hand- ed to me this morning by our com- pany commander, Capt. H. E. Pense, which 1 think very nice, and it was very kind of you. I hardly know how to thank you and all those kind friends at home who have been so kind to the boys of our battalion since we came to France seven months ago. If you could see how things are appreciated vou feel more than pleased for all your god work. Although we cannot do anything to repay you for all of this, I can only write and thank you." "I am pleased to say that this Bel- ginny weather 'has changed at last, and it is just what we were waiting for. Believe me, we have had a very hard winter, but we were able to mas- ter it." If any people who contributed socks to the 21st receive letters from the front, the Whig would be very pleased to publish them.

A Clerk's Dishonesty--Woman Fin. ed $20 And & Liguor ¥or the Prol 'There was a busy session of Po- lice Court on Thursday morning. Magistrate Farrell . Mrs. Mary Ann Carr was found Elizabeth Keenan, who is a member of the prohibited list, and was fined " - Mrs. Keenan was taxed $10 and costs or twenty days for being under the julldence of liquer by being on the st. Henry Webber, employed as clerk in' Alexander Hood's butcher étore on Barrie street was found and was given two months in jail without the option of a fine. William 'Wilson and Charles Boyd drew $1 and costs or ten days for being drunk, while James Mullen, an old offender, got $3 and costs or twenty days tor being drunk. The case of Mrs. Keenan and Mrs. Carr required considerable time. Aec- cording to the storv of Mrs. Keen- an she 'went to tie howe of Mrs Carr on Tuesday morning last and tle of liquor for which she gave her eighty cents, Fifty cents was used for making the purchase and the other thirty cents was to pay her for her trouble. Mrs. Keenan said she told Mrs. Carr that she could not get the liquor as she was member on the prohibited list. As a result of drinking the liguor, Mrs. Keenan was gathered in by the police on Tuesday night hopelessly, drunk. When 'Mrs. Carr was called she denied everything which Mrs, Keen- an ad sworn to in the witness box. She stated that she did not purchase the liquor. She had found Mrs, Keenan "dead drunk" in her and had, to throw her out. claimed that her liitle child found Mrs. Keenan-in the shed When asked if she purchased the liquor on Tuesday morning, Mrs Carr stated that she was working at one of the local hotels that morning and was not at home. The propriet- or of the hotel when called denied that Mrs. Carr was at the hotel that morning. "Twenty dollars or one month in the jail," said the Magistrate "You were placed in a positjon of trust and you took the sum of $2 from the till and for that reason you must go to jail for two months," said the Magistrate to Henry Web- ber who pleaded "not guilty." According to the evidence of Alex- ander Hood, the proprietor of the butcher shop, he had been missing money for some time. On Wednes- day afternoon he set a "trap" for the purpose of finding out who was do- ing the stealing. After counting and numbering all the bills in his till he went out of his place of business but returned in a short time. Upon op- ening the till he found that there was a two-dollar bill missing. immediately called the police Constables Bateson and Naylon re- sponded. When the police accused Webber of taring the money he ack- nowledged his guilt and "coughed up" the bill. Webber when called tried to make | an excuse for his action but "did | not go" with the Court. He stated that he had been working®in Kings- ton for six years. Part of the time with Anderson Bros. He worked for Hood at the rate of $13 a week and | sold his goods which Hood paid him for in installments. He sold a meat She first but he had not paid him for it up until the present time. His reason | for taking the money was that he thought it might scare Hood iuto Paying what ho owed him. ------ Remarkable Delusions. Remarkable delusions of a French Canadian private were related during the trial at the Old Bailey police court in London, Eng., recently of Dominique Brunet, who was sen- tenced to twelve months' imprison- ment on a charge of misdemeanor. Expressing the conviction that the man was utterly mad and subject to homicidal clared that one of Brunet's delusions wad that the King h®d appointed him 'chief medical officer of the British army, because he had invented a sys- prisoner had admitted having been in sane. He either escaped or was dis- charged from there, and French born he joined the Canad- for active service.
