Leadley at Verona on August . gust Pefore County Magistrate Allin- son on Wednesday morning, Dr. W. J. Geddes, Verona, was charged with | assaulting W. Leadley. The evidence ehowed that Dr. Geddes had been friendly with Mrs. Leadley, and this was resented by her husband. Sofie time ago, Mr. Leadley notified Dr. Geddes that he wished him to keep vee vedean saan Tease se wa sees dane te wees we cece wuss veeren mu es esses * scee en ve "ese seed joy \ away {rom his promises and his wife. On Aug. 6th, Mr. Leadley on szeing the doctor in front of his store, talk- ing to his wife, called to him to g> on and leave his wife alone. Dr. Geddes came on down tho street and some trouble took place belween him and Mr. Leadley, the latter's companion, G. W. Lakins, walking on. Just what occurred was diffi- cult to say, Mr. Leadley claiming in the face, and the latter claimed that he had merely shook his finger in Leadley's face. Seycral witnesses were called, bat none saw any blow 'struck, although they said shat Dr. Geddes hed assumed a threatening attitude. On the evidence submitted, [Magistrate Allinson dismissed the case. The witncsses for the plaintiff were --G. W. Lakin, Lila Tallcn, E. Tallon, Lewis Vanest and Kitson Amey.

BEAUTY TYPES ARE WELL CONTRASTED For contrast in feminine pulchri- tude and temperament, few motion pictures recently produced can, by any stretch of the imagination, equal George Melford's latest Para- mount picture, "You Can't Fool Your Wife," which comes to the Strand theatre tomorrow and in which the three principal feminine roles are played by Leatrice Joy, Nita Naldl and Pauline Garon. M!ss Joy, as Edith McBride, is the trusting wife, charming and ingenu- ous, yet intuitive to the last degree. Her particular type of beauty, with her soft brown eyes and dark brown hair, gives just the necessary sym- pathy to the role of the modern wife, troubled and tormented by a million alre husband who has reached the so-called dangerous age. Miss Neldi is the siren de luxe in the picture--a polished beauty, wife of an eminent surgeon, who seeks social conquests to further her hus- band's practice. Her raven black hair and alluring eyes produce the' ae- sired effect when she sets out to an- nex a man to her long list of victims. Miss Garon, chic, blonde, diminu- tive, is the flapper of bighteen, but possessing a sophistication thar would be a credit to a woman ot fifty. She bobs in and out of the plc- ture on a breeze of spontaneity that is a delightful contrast to the action of the other two characters in the | story. 'With three such types there is lit- tle wonder that Lewis Stone, Paul McAllister and John Daly Murphy, who play the three principal charac- ters opposite, should be hopelessly entangled in a domestic drama. Funeral of Thomas Hcaley. The funeral of the late Thomas Healey took place Wednesday morn- dng from his fate residence, Arch street, to St. Mary's Cathedral a solemn requiem mass was sutig for the repose of his soul by Rev.

Large WOLFE ISLAND BARN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING The Hay Destroyed -- Mrs. Sydney Ley Was Stunned By the Bolt. WOLFE ISLAND A barn and horse stable on Wolfe Island were badly ghtted by fire, as a result of being struck by lizhtuning, about 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday William Reynor is the owner of the property, and Sydney Ley is the ten- ant. The barn was filled with tae! season's crop of hay, and it was de- | stroyed. Lackily all the stock, cam. | sisting of twelve head, were saved. | The farm machinery was also saved. The hay made a big blaze and the fire was burning till 4 o'clock on Wednesday morning. The crep of oats had not yet becn put inio the barn, so this too was saved. Water Was secured from a well on the farm to fight the fire, but this went dry after two hours' pumping. Mrs. Ley was engaged in milking in the barn, when the bolt of lighi- ning struck the butldings and she was badly stunned, but escaped serious injury. Mr. Raynor carried some insur- ance on the buildings but Mr. Ley had no insurance on the stock.

' ECONOMIC WAR BETWEEN BRITAIN AND FRANCE Is Now Suggested As the Re- sult of British Repara- tions Poligy./ : Paris, Aug. 15.--Suggestions of economic war between France and Great Britain are met with frequent- ly in current conversations with lead- ing French business men engaged In trade with Great BrMain, and now importers of woollens from Great Britain expressed the view yester- day that business between tha two countries wouid necessarily deciine on account of the exiraordinary rise in the pound sterling, and that no organized movement was required to bring that result about, as it was the inevitable outcome of what is de- clared there to be a London campaign for the depreciation of the franc. The Matin in a double Meader to- day asks Prime Minister Baldwin if he is not aware that his policy to- ward France is tending to bring about movement in which the watch- word will be, 'No business with Eng- land, mo purchases in England."

The Toronto Star of Tuesday has an imposing article by Lou Marsh questioning the selection of the Hus- kie II, of the Crescent Yacht Club, Watertown ,N.Y,; as the L.Y.R.A. re- presentative in the Y.R.U. series the first week in September. Although the whole article is carefully guard- ed in that respect, it is plain to see that Lou is shocked, pained and sur- prised because a Toronto boat was not selected. He mentions the case of Lillian E. and Nayada in the Geonge cup trials and thereby re- minds yachismen that they aclually have mistakes in Toronto on ocoa~ sion. The Huskie II won the George Cup series falrly and squarely and has as much claim to the post for which she has been chosen as any other boat. Summer School Baseball. Playing the spectacular game which has characterized their work all season, the Queen's summer school soft ball nine on Tuesday ev- ening defeated the: fast intra-mural team by te score of 16 to 15.
