Orton falled to appear when sum- moned for Thursday's session, but later gave himself up to Constable Arniel. - He was given a severe repri- mand by the Acting Magistrate for his conduct. His only excuse was that he had a sore hand. Mayor Richardson reminded him that he did not walk with his hands and that this was no excuse.

ID T0 BATTLE FoR LF WE, QUEEN'S STU. DENT IN NORTH ONTARIO. Buried Under Debris But Crawled ' to Safety at Smooth Rock Falls-- Building Saved by a Miracle. Hubert Love has written an in- teresting letter from Northern On- tario to his parents, Mr. and Mrs, A. J. Love, Lyndhurst. 'Mr. Love, who {is a student of Queen's University, was engaged on government work in the north at the time of the re- cent fire, when many lives were lost and such heavy damage done to property. 2 Owing to telegraphic communica- tions being cut off no word had been received until this letter, which re-| lieved the parents' anxiety. Mr. Love | says: - "Over two hundred lives near where 1 am were lost, and many horses, cows, etc, mown down with- out any warning.. "I tell you that we at Smooth Rock Falls fought a terrible battle to save ourselves and buildings, and by a miracle succeeded in saving our buildings, but lost about sixty thous- and logs which were in the bush. "However, we were not without our losses! About seven-thirty it started to rain and at 2.30 a. m. an electrical storm struck us, one of the worst that 1 ever experienced, and at 3.16 a cyclone suddenly burst upon us, toppling over houses and carrying them along as though they were paper. . Buried Under Debriss "I was sleeping in my tent, and before 1 could escape I'found myself completely buried under a mountain of debris. I have a partition across my tent, making it a little homelike, and this had fallen over on me. My tent wag carried yards away and my gramophone picked up and carried rods away. "Meanwhile the rain was falling in torrents and the wind terrible, so I thought it was up to me to get to place of safety. Fortunately for m the foreman's shack was still stand- ing and I managed to get there by- lying flat and crawling all the way or I might have been carried aw#y with my tent. "When the storm had abated a bit I got a lantern and with Mr. Clippa, the foreman at the mill, started out to try and save the books and some things in the tent which is our office. INTRODUCTORY Le Saf pe et OF SYDENHAM RECEIVES PARTICULARS ilton of the 58th Battalion From Her Son's . Mrs. Hamilton, Sydenham, received a sympathetic note from Pte. Freder- fek Adams, of the 58th Battalion, a chum of her som, Pte. Frederick Hamilton, who died of wounds. He says in part: ' "It was in the face of the worst bombardment and under the severest shell firé that has ever been my lot to witness, or in fact second to none Hil - in the war, that poor 'Fred received the wound that afterwards resulted in his death. "It 'was a small piece of shrapnel that entered his right side just above the hip, and I think it must have pierced his stomach, We had to carry him about a mile to 'the ambu- -lance 'where his wound was dressed. He didn't complain of any pain whatever excepting that he was cold, so we' put our overcoats over him, and also some clean bags. We (ll all thought that he would reeover. {JH but experience teaches us to dread the shrapnel wound. ° It breaks my heart to thfpk about about it."
