Police Court. $ After attending seryice at the Methodist church, Fullarton village, Sunday evening last, a young man pamed Russian, who had a grievance against a companion, threw off his coat and challenged him to fight. The latter refused and walked away, but was followed and assaulted. They were parted by a young lad named Hoar, who advised them not to con- tinue the fight. Information were laid against Russian who started the row, and Hoar. The. cases were tried'egfore Police Magistrate Davis on Tuesday. After hearing the evid- ence, Hoar was honorably acquitted, the Magistrate telling bim that he acted the part of peacemaker, an deserved credit, instead of censure.

Black result of a practical joke, which was played on the real owner cf the coat at. a silo-filling in 1910 This prac- tical joker, without letting any one know of it, placed the coat ia a buggy | .. belonging to the young man about | ® whom the nasty reports are béing spread. The buggy was taken home that evening, placed in the driving barn, and not again used 'until the following spring. Then for the first time the coat was discoyered by the owners of the buggy and was hung in the barn where it remained until the latter part of September this year, As nothing had transpired during the twelve months to explain how the coat came to be in the buggy it was naturally concluded that an owner would not be found and that anyone would be quite justified in wearing it. This is'the reason that its real owner by accident happened to find it on the ona in whose buggy it was placed. These, Mr. Editor, are the facts re- garding the whole affair and we feel that itis a matter of public interest to Jet them be known. Accordingly we respectfully seek the aid of your valuable paper to make it possible for the innocent to have a fair show. Practical jokes frequently end mors seriously than originally intended and nothing could be more serious than that one who is entirely inno- cent should have his name besmirch- ed and his character maligned while those who know the facts stand idly y. In the hope that you will aid us in t making these facts known I am, Very Sincerely Yours, " Fark Puay" | Monkton. Quite a number took in the ball in Atwood on Thursday night. Mr. and Mrs. G.
