v vW‘va’vâ€"VVV ‘ VVâ€" 1 ve~ BOBBEHIES ON in 0. P. B. , Claimed to Have Been Solved by the Arrest of a Negro After a-Long Chase. - 'A despatch from North, Bay, Ont., says: The mystery of many gobberres of passengers on C. P. R. rams west of North Bay during the last month, which caused the rail- ,way company great annoyance, and seemed destined to'baifle the best detective skill, has, it is claimed, by the authorities, been solved in the arrest on Wednesday of a neâ€" gro, giving the name of Lamont. Pinkerton Detective Murray, of Boston, who has been working on _the case for several weeks, chased Lamont to Moose Jaw, his quarry doubling back from that point and managing to elude the detective until Wednesday, when C. R. Constable Williams arrested mm at North Bay and wired Detect1ve Murray of his capture. Murray arrived and identified the prisoner as the man wanted. Lamont has been travelling back and forth on night trains. When asked h1s reaâ€" son for travelling so extensively, he said he was just fishing. Lamont was identified by C.~ P. officials as having made his head- quarters at Schrei‘oer, where he occasioned the company cons1der- able trouble. He was remanded to jail for eight days in order that his record could be looked up. BREADSTUFFS.

SCHEME Willil m Sevemj Ontario Counties Are Likely to Have Forest Nurseries. A despatch from Toronto says: The Ontario Government’s farm forestry scheme which has initiated by the acquiring at the cost of $1,000 one hundred acres of land in Norfolk county to be used as a forest nursery is to be expand- ed as quickly as possible. The Minister of Agriculture has suggestâ€" ed that suitable places for the es- tablishment of further nurseries would be Durham, Simcoe and Lambton counties, in all of which are large areas of lands which have been declared to be unrent- able for agricultural purposes. The work under the department has been progressing steadily. been‘ .In the last two years something like half a million young white ine trees have been imported from Ever- many and distributed through the medium of the Agricultural Col- lege at Guelph. In connection with the Government nurseries it is proposed to utilize the services of the graduates of the Agricultur- al College who have taken a course in forestry. With regard to the large scheme .of reforestration which will doubtless be undertaken by the Government at some future time the idea which has been ad- vocated by the Hon. Nelson Mon- teith is that they should reforest some of the large areas in the north. afloat; No. 1 northern, Duluth, $1.22%, f.o.b. afloat; No. 2 hard winter, $1.07% f.o.b. afloat. CATTLE MARKET. Toronto, July 21.â€"Prices were reported 10c to 15e higher in some cases, but for the greater part they were steady. The demand for exporters shows a slight improve- ment. Good butchers’ were very scarce and what there were brought very good prices. Cows were firm, although no material change was noticeable in the prices. There was a good supply of sheep and lambs, and the demand was good, so the market was just about steady. Local prices of choice live hogs are $6.90 per cwt., fed and watered off cars Toronto. )8...“â€" SEVEN PRISONERS ESCAPE. Broke Through One of the Rooms at Toronto Jail. A despatch from Toronto says: A Skillfully-planned and boldly-ex- ecuted escape from Toronto Jail was made'on Friday by seven pris- oners, who got clear away. It was a few minutes prior to 4 o’clock that the escape was discovered, but as the prisoners were all dressed in their usual clothes there was no- thing to distinguish them from orâ€" dinary citizens once they were out- side the jail grounds. The men who got away were confined in a corridor where are kept those pris- oners who are there awaiting sen- tence or trial. From the evidence it was apparent that the escape had been planned for some time, and the secret carefully kept among the dozen or more prisoners who were confined in this particular corri- dor. As will be seen from their records several of the men are wellâ€"known criminals, three of them United States creeks, and 1t not at all improbable that help was received from the outside. Securing a key to the door of a chamber known as the death cham- ber, and used for the hanging of the negro, John Boyd, one of the number entered there daily, and with the lever used on the drop of the scaffold dug through the wall to the yard, where the prisoners were faced by the jail wall twenty feet high. They apparently stood on each other’s shoulders till one reached the top, and the others were drawn up by jail bedclothes, and lowered down the other side of the wall in the same manner. Then a short dash along a lane and they were at liberty. . The following are the names of the prisoners, with their records, who escaped:â€"â€" Alexander Rose, awaiting sentence on two charges of felonious wounding. Henry Churchill, committed for trial on charge of robbing Pullman cars on Grand Trunk. John C. Clark, broke jail from Newcastle, Penn, June 15, 1908, arrested in Toronâ€" to for. theft. William D. Jones, broke jail from Newcastle, Penn., arrested here for theft. Robert Snow, escaped from Mimico Indus- trial School on June 19. Edward Lee, awaiting sentence for theft. John Copeland, awaiting sentence for theft. A SAD PICNIC THIS. Driver of Tally-ho Fatally Injured at Guelph. A despatch from Guelph says: A fatal accident occurred on Sat- urday to a jolly party of Guelph printers and their friends through which Fred Anderson lost his life. Anderson was employed in Hoop: er’s livery stable and was the driv~ er on a four-horse tallyho, which was taking the Guelph party to Puslinch Lake, where they were to join a printers’ icnic from Galt. The accident, whic 1 was of a trifling nature and yet resulted fatally, happened on Waterloo avenue just after the start was made. The wheel caught in the street car switch, causing the vehicle to slew, and Anderson was thrown from his seat and under the heavy wheels. The front wheels passed over his legs, but the’ hind wheel caught the middle of his body, crushing him in such a manner as to cause death a couple of hours later in the hospital. The unfortunate fel- low was brought baek in the tally- ho and the trip was called off. An- derson was a married man and was well known and respected in the city. urnâ€"_â€" WOLFE MEMORIAL. Service will be Held at His Tomb in Greenwich Church. A despatch from London says: On the day of dedication at Quebec there will be a memorial service at St. Alfe e Church, at Greenwich where olfe is buried. The Lor Mayor and sheriffs will attend, and it is hoped detachments of Wolfe’s regiments will also _be present. Winnipeg-Toronto Train .Met a Freight Near Current River. A despatch from Port Arthur says: The Winnipeg-Toronto train which passed through here on Sunday afternoon met in a head- on collision with a freight-train just east of the Current River, and only the fact that the recent flood there had necessitated the building of a new bridge over which trains run slowly prevented a serious disâ€" aster. The train was going only about ten miles an hour when it struck the freight, and though sev- eral cars were badly damaged, only the fireman and engineer of the passenger train, W. Morris and C. Bowles of Schrieber, and the news agent and waiter on the dining l I car were injured. They were bad ly shaken up and bruised. The freight crew saw the passen ger train approaching and jumped after stopping their train, but now. in time to give warning to the pas- senger train. It is stated that the accident was caused by a mistak( on the part-of the freight in usin orders issued Saturday instead cl those issued on Sunday. No. 9( was cancelled on Saturday on ac count of trouble west of here, and orders then were issued for the freight trains to run through'witht out regard: to the passenger sche- dule. One of these orders was. used on Sunday. George Roos ol Schrieber was the conductor of tha freight. THE WEST WANTS MEN. The Labor Scarcity Likely to be a Serious Problem. A despatch from Winnipeg says: Grain in all parts of the west is showing the benefits of the recent rains, and everywhere the situation is very encouraging. Developments are few and steady growth is the principal feature. Wheat heads are filling out in fine style, giving pro- mise of heavy yields. Unusual con- cern is felt regarding the su ply of harvest hands this year. he in- terval between the harvest in Onâ€" tario and that in Manitoba is like- ly to be shorter than ever before, and overlapping may interfere with excursions to the west. Mr. William Whyte of the Canadian Pacific Railway believes 25,000 men are required in the three Prov- inces, and a campaign will be started early to secure that numâ€" ber. The labor situation is likely to cause some anxiety before the season is over. ,1..â€"â€"..â€" p TWO MEN SUFFG CATED. Were Engaged in Excavating for Bridge at Lcthbridgc. A despatch from Lethbridge, Alta, says: A double fatality oc- curred on Wednesday afternoon, when two men, Frank Rush, an Englishman, and George E. Thomp- son, from North Dakota, met sud- den death by gas suffocation. A hole 30 feet deep had been sunk by the C. P. R. to test the foundation f0) a pier for the big bridge, and an abandoned entry to the Gait Mine was found. Work was disâ€" continued on account of the gas. DOWNFALL THROUII DRINK Once Prosperous Man Brought IIis Family to Ruin. A despatch from Montreal says: Seven years ago William Wright, head of the Wright Paper Com- pany, was rated at $65,000. In 1904 he failed, owing to his fond- ness for drink. On Friday, on complaint of his wife, he was sent to jail for three months. In givâ€" ing evidence she said: “He drank it all, and I have no home now. I am a pauper and my children are starving after having all that money could buy.” pusâ€"r l I UPSET IN A SQUALL. Young Man and Woman Drowned, Child Rescued. A despatch from Halifax says: While sailing en Bedford Basin late Wednesday afternoon Una Roy, aged seventeen, and William Muir, aged sixteen, were drowned, and Margaret Muir, aged twelve, a sis- ter of the last named victim, was rescued, after being half an hour in the water. When the party left Bedford at 4 o’clock the weather was fine and the water calm, but suddenly a terrific thunderstorm set‘ in, and before the party could make the shore a heavy squall. swept down from the north, and capsized the boat. The three occuâ€" pants were hurled into the water about a quarter of a mile from the shore. As the craft began to fill and settle down in the water, Muir seized the two cars, passing one to his little sister and the other to Miss Roy. The latter, however, soon from his efforts to keep the two girls afloat, also went down. Little Margaret, however, clung to the ear, and her screams for help at- tracted the attention of a man named Wilkes, who was on the 'shore, and, procuring a boat, be rescued the little girl. The victims are members of prominent’Halifax families summering at Bedfordu Miss Roy is a daughter of Mr. J. E. Roy, and William Muir a son of Mr. Andrew Muir. â€"â€"â€"â€"*-1« IRON NEAR MONTREAL. Very Important Discovery by a C. P. R. Official. A despatch from Montreal says: A leading official of the C. P. R.‘ made the statement on Thursday that in the Laurentian Mountains, within 100 miles of Montreal, were the largest iron ore deposits in Canada; in fact, the ore area was miles square in extent. “The re- ports are now before me, showing sixty per cent. of iron to a ton of earth. I leave Montreal on Friday for the purpose of endeavoring to. bring into realization What wbuld have been yesterday described as a dream. Until we have completed the preliminaries it would be most injudici'ous to give particulars, but the genuineness of the find is beâ€" yond- question,” was the closing comment of the official. that l tints nu .Jarnes MoManauey Said It Was the Only; - Way to Save Her From Drowning. A despatch from Montreal. says :' his hold on the woman, and she fell; A sailor by the name of James Mc- Mananey on board the SS Nianga of the Elder-Dempster Line, saved the life of a woman on Wednesday morning, who had fallen off the wharf. She was walking alon the wharf irran intoxicated con ition and fell into the'river. McMananey jumped in after her and brought her to the edge. As soon as she was safe. the woman started 'to scream and call for help, saying that her rescuer was tryin to: murder her. Then she grasped t e sailor's hair and com- menced to pull it out in handfuls.. This. caused MgMananey to release ,.- e341": _. back into the water again, pulling her rescuer with her by the hair.2 Then started a battle under thei water, for when the woman came up a few seconds afterwards it was seen that her nose was bleeding badly. By this time a boat had been sent out from the shore and the parties rescued. When McMananey was seen after- wards he was suffering from a sore head where the woman had pulled at his hair. When asked if he had struck the woman he replied that ha. had, as this was the only way ix which he could save her. She ha/ a death grip on him. sank, and Muir, exhausted ' Ihairlineâ€"upturn.
