Testimony secured against him by detectievs was too strong for him to resist. the night of Nov. 24 and the entering of his store. According to his state- ment the work was a one-man job.” uv.-. In a lonely cottage in the country near Garrick, Pearson’s booty from apparently many raids, was found by detectives. He left for his home in Peterboro, Ontario, Canada, shortly after the shooting of the merchant. Chief Waggoner received a tip that he was the burglar wanted only a week ago then. He was employed as a carpenter in Kelly’s construction. camp, building a county road near Wilcox Station. Mr. Knoedler, his victim, was shot in the head, cheek and breast, and is still in the Mercy Hospital, where he may die. He was shot down as he was about to close his store door at Willcox. Admissions made by Pear son’s wife made a strong case against him without other, evidence. ‘ ‘ In his signed confession he says :â€" “I hereby voluntarily state that on the night of Nov. 24th, at 10 o’clock, I entered the store of Jacob Knoed- ler, at Willcock station, in Baldwin Township, and when surprised by Mr. Knoedler shot three times, but do not know how many times I hit him; This statement is’ made volun- tarily by the signer, Silas H.

This fea- ture will'also be in evidence at the Eastern Ontario Live Stock and Poul- try Show to be held at OttaWa on January 18th to 22nd, where will be shown prize oats by members of the following agriculture societies, which have made entry with Mr. J. Lockie Wilson, superintendent of fairs and exhibitions, for this purpose; Aired. Carleton County, East Peterboro, El. don, Kenyon, Otonabee, South Lan- ark, South Monoghan, North and South Renfrew, Verulam and Wooler. These oats will be judged by ex- perts, and the ones to which money prizes are awarded will be retained by the Department Agriculture for ex- perimental purposes. The rest will be sold by auction at 10 a.m. on the morning of Friday, January 22nd, and no doubt ,as at Guelph, many farmers will seize the Opportunity of secur- ing first-class oats for the coming sea- son. As each competitor must have 25 bushels for sale, including what he exhibits purchasers can secure a sufficient quantity to sow a consider- able acreage with this excellent seed grain. This is an opportunity not to be overlooked. ' LITTLE BRITAIN. (Correspondence Free Press.) Jan. 4.-â€"The tea and lecture at the Methodist church on New Year’s ev- ening was a grand success.

Everybody re- ceived a cordial welcome and their wants were well Iooked after. The tables groaned with the most delicate brands in and out of season, and the compounding and cooking done in such good taste, as to meet the re- quirements of the most fastidious ep- 1curean. After justice was done to the :n- ner man all assembled in ‘the body of the church, where an able lecture was given by Dr. Hazlewood, of West Toronto. His subject was “A Jaunt Through Ireland.” His lect-lro was very interesting and instructrve interSpersed with a number of good jokes.
