WOMAN IS FOUND | FROZEN TO DEATH -- Grey County Matron Perishes in Blizzard Within a Few Yards of Home. Owen Sound, Jan. 24.--Coatless and bareheaded, her hands held to her cheeks as if for warmth, the frozen body of Mrs. Malcolm McLeod was found early this morning in a snow- drift near the Village of Wolseley, and 'only a few score yeards from her cheerless. and unheated house.

At first he concluded she was visiting neighbors, but as time passed hé be- came axarmed, and a started. It came to light later that the house inn which the McLeods lived con- tained not a particle of fuel and very | little food, and the general opinion is held that, spurred by the discomfort of the place, Mrs, McLeod determined to bfave the blizzard of Saturday. night in her insufficient clothing and, seek shelter from neighbors, She was a woman of 50 years,-and was probab- | ly overcome by the bitter weather on her way to the nearest house. | County Crown Attorney Dyre of Owen Sound and Coroner Rutherford «were notified, and they decided to hold an-inguest into the fatality.

Salisbury." Salisbury, who had been arrested on a nominal charge of vagrancy," was charged with manslaughter, and re- manded for a week. He is only is, years of age, was a brother-in-law of Wards, and evidence showed there had been a fight between the two, caused by Ward abusing his mother, Salisbury going to her defence, and; that Ward's life might have been 'saved had he received medical atten- ved sooner. ~ Death Rate in Nova Scotia is Lowest Ever Recorded Halifax, Jan. 24. ~The report of the Vital Statistics Buresu of the Province of.
