Saskatchewan Land Co. is Awarded $38,500 With Costs. In Toronto on Monday Justice Kelly gave final judgment in ap ac- tion which has been before the churts since May, 1906, and in which local parties are interested. The action was the Saskatchewan Land and Homestead Co,, Ltd., vs. John T. Moore, and the judgment gave the plaintiffs $38,500 and interest from 18th September, 1915, together with full costs. The defendants were al- lowed a set-off of $1,500 and $100 for costs. This action has been before the Appellate Division three times and before the Supreme Court of Canada twice.

When the day clerk: at Swift's wharf went down to work this morn- ing he found that the night clerk, F.| Briceland, was not there, and had | not been for a short time. E. B.} Hersey was informed, and he at once | made efforts to locate the man. It was thouht for a time that he might | have gone over to his home on Wolfe | Island, but it was found that such | was not the case. | The most logical conclusion is that the man got on the steamer which goes down the river aobut five o'clock in the morning. That he was | at work when the boat came in is| proved by the fact that he signed one | of the bills. The night before he had { been told to place some napkins on| the boat. It is thought that possibly he forgot until just about the time the boat was leaving and then /'went aboard to hand them to the steward. Then when he returned to get off the boat he might have found it some distance from shore. As he would be stopping work in a very few minutes probably he de- cided that it would be alright to take the trip down the river and enjoy the balmy breezes of a sunny sum- mer's day, and return this afternoon ready to go on duty shortly after the boat arrives. This Is the conclusion to which the officials of the 'lines| have reached. | Anxious | PRACTICAL SYMPATHY. | Address and Purse Were Presented to Mrs. William Holland.
