Little Local Lines An incident that makes one see the need for the societv that takes care of neglected children, was witnessed on William st. just south of Kent-st. on Tuesday after- noon. A delapidated looking couple were going south past the Dominion bank. The man was slightly in advance of the woman. He was leading a little boy of about 4 years. Suddenly the woman dash- ed forward and catching the little chap’s arm tried to take him away from the man. The latter held the other hand and in the tussel the youngster's anatomy had to resist a severe strain in order to hold to-‘ gether. At length the woman's hold slipped and the journey continued amid the lustiest and rustiest sort of scolding on the woman’s part. There were only some offences of which the man is not guilty if her version was correct. How- ever he was not afraid of a lawyer and took his charge into Mr. G. H. Hopkin’s office. His companion tried to follow but in a moment dashed out and Iinto the telephone doorway just as the object of her persuit attempted to come out. having apparently passed from one office to the other by some inside route. Then a lively set-to began. In the mix-up the child was sent sprawling and began to cry lustily. Meanwhile its guardians (3) :gave a spirited exhibition of scufiling without regard to any particular code- At last the male section of the conflict got a species of neck hold that discouraged his adversary and again he proceeded with the child. The remarks of the woman were of characteristic rapidity and of startling quality without being at all complimentary to the object of her wrath. At the corner of Melbourne-st. another attack was successfully repelled but here all three disappeared around the corner and the last act of the drama cannot be written. One’s mind lingers on the poor little fellow and hapes that by some means or other there are happier things in store for him. [It has since been learned that the pair above referred to were Paddy Donoghue and his spouse. The latter ran foul of Chief Bell the same afternoon and has since sojourned in jail.

Mr. John Graham of West Ops was unloading a load of grain when a train backed down the track and caused the horses to bolt. A line broke and Mr. Graham fell off the load and narrowly escaped being run over by the wheels. Mr. D. J. Scully caught the horses by the head but was unable to stop them before they had crashed into a baby carriage con taining the 18 months-old son of Mr. Jos Murdock. The carriage was wrecked and a wheel of the wagon passed over the infant's thigh breaking the bone and otherwise injuring the body. The team was alast stopped by Mr. Scullv but not before he had received some painfu! bruises himself. The child was taken. home and Drs. White and Shier attended to its iniuries. Although so badly injured the little fellow is doing very well and may recover. â€"On Wednesday afternoon an accident happened on the road between Mariposa station and Oakwood, that might have been attended with good deal worse results. Two young ladies, daughters of Mr. T. H. Greenway, who lives a mile south of Woodville, were driving along in a covered rig when the horse took fright at a stone on the roadside and made a dash into the ditch. The rig; was upset and its occupants imprisoned beneath the tap. Fortunately the top and seat were broken off allowing the horse and gearing to go free. This prevented the ladies from receiving further injuries than those caused by the fall and although these were painful they were not serious. The horse went a short distance and dashed into a wire fence from which it had to be helped. y â€"There was a lively time at the corner 5of Ridout and Simcoe-sts. on Monday 1night. Driver Joe. of the Williamson meat market, went to make the corner at too swift a pace with the result that he, the horse and the cart became mixed up in the ditch. He made all sorts of yells for help. Bobby Reid and a near-by resi- dent rushed to the rescue and soon had things straightened up, but while they were all standing about, the horse kicked and bled Joe‘s nasal appendage and Bobby’s remarks of sympathy led to the insinuation that he did not always keep his own horses looking their best. A dis_ cussion followed on cruelty to animals, that with a few omissions would have delighted an officer of the Humane Society. â€"On Saturday Mr. Wm. Miller, hes. carpenter on J. J. Teevins barn, fell from the perline plate to the ground, a. distance of some 30 feet. No bones were broken but Mr. Miller is laid off work with the shock and bruises he received.
