Fé THE HAILEYBURIAN ; No32 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5th, 1936 Subscription Rate: $2.00 per year Farmer Attacks Youth With Axe Taken in Charge Hilliard Township Man Blames Neighbor for Prank; Victim Suffers Bad Slash Charles Wood, Hilliard town- ship farmer, was arrested by Pro- vincial Constable Lee Walker on Tuesday afternoon, after he had allegedly assaulted Louis Joyes aged 19, who lives with his par- ents on a neighboring farm a mile away. The accused man was brought to police headquarters in Haileybury and will appear to answer to the charge before Ma- gistrate Atkinson. Constable Walker learned that as Joyes was passing the Wood farm at about 3.30 on Tuesday afternoon, he was accosted by Wood and blamed for some Hal- lowe'en pranks that had _ been done Saturday night at the lat- ter's farm. Joyes denied the charge, stating that he had been at a dance that evening and had not been near the place. Wood had an axe in his hand, the offi- cer was told,and swung it as he attacked Joyes on the roadway. The latter grappled with him and succeeded in deflecting the blow to some extent, but the weapon struck him on the side, cutting through his clothing and inflict- ing a wound that required six stitches to close. He was given medical attention and a message sent to provincial police head- quarters with the result that Wood was placed under arrest as soon as Constable Walker arrived on the scene.

W. Harrington, town clerk and treasurer of the municipality. The vault is locat- ed at the opposite end of a cor- ridor from where the council holds its meetings and, as the doors between are closed, it was probably not a difficult job for the thief to slip in and rifle the safe without being noticed. Loss of the cash box was not «dliscover- ed until Tuesday morning. Mr. Harrington stated that he had locked the vault door at 5 p-m. on Monday, but when he re- turned to the office about 7 p.m. to prepare for the council meet- ing he had opened it and it re- mained open for about four hours during the course of the meeting. He had been to the vault at least twice during the meeting H y and H y to Clear Right-of-Way From Rouyn to Senneterre The local firm of Hennessy and Hennessy Limited has secured the contract for the clearing of the right-of-way on the new railway line to be built from Rouyn to Seneterre, Quebec, and will commence operations on the big project immediately.

J. Mason, acting mayor early this week. In common many other towns and communities, the stores and business places generally will close for an hour. from 10.30 to 11.30 a.m., in order that all may attend the memorial service marking the anniversary of the signing of the armistice following the cessation of the great war. The day has been' proclaimed a Dominion holiday by act of parliament, but the consensus of opinion appears to be that communities have the privilege of observing the anni- versary in any way they see fit. The holiday will be observed by the schools and there wil! be the usual sale of Poppies by the I.O. D.E., under the auspices of the Canadian Legion, which will also hold the annual services at the Soldiers' Memorial on Main Street commencing at 2C minutes to 11 o'clock. This service will take the same form as in previous years, with several local clergy- men taking part. Rev W. A. Beecroft will give the address, while Rev R. Haines, Pastor G. F. Gorman and Captain Cuthbert will assist in the services. All citizens are invited to attend and join in the services. with Week ending Nov. 3rd, 1936: Max.
