Company First for Bringing Them West on False Representations, Now Refusing to Give 3etnrn Passage Until They There are at present some 200 bar- vesters in the city who have been nn- able to proc’ure work and some of' whom are said to be in quite a destitute condition. They applied to the C.P.R. to be shipped back to their homes but this the company-refused to do, hold- ing that the men are not entitled to a. - ‘1“... V, __ to open revolt. They vented their feelings in condemnatory words, and according to their story they have some justification for their anger. The Mayor, who was present, address- ed the crowd, promising them assist- ance, and this together with the pro- duction of a couple of baskets of bread appeased both their hunger and feel- ings of resentment at least temporarily. in on misrepresentations by the C.P.R. ‘ who had circulated broadcast in the East the enormous demand for harvest hands in the West. As a matter of ‘ fact, only 650 men were required in Saskatchewan, and the railway have already shipped over 2,000 into the province with two more train loads to come in. All requests of the men to he sent back have been peremptorily refused. One man who was ill procur- ed a medical certificate of his unfitness for work, but even the production of this failed to move the company’s officials. A dozen men who arrived in the city I‘ last night told a pitiable tale of hard-l ships endured during the past week.1 Adjutant Ummuins of the Salvation Army gave them shelter and food in the Army Hall for the night. They looked the picture ot misery as they lay stretched on the floor in their wet and mud-bedraggled clothes. These men came in here with one of the first DURHAM, OWL, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 3.1908. Residents of this locality will be pleased to learn that the trial of John and Alexander McEachern, of Little Current, at Gore Bay, on a. charge of stealing, has resulted in the acquittal "" """ O of the accused, as will he seen by the following account of the trial, which has been forwarded to us. As the Chronicle was one of the papers that gave publicity to the affair last Octo- 4__ “LL- D‘vvv rwâ€"r‘_ , her, we take pleasure in publishing the account of the trial as supplied us, and would ask all other papers guilty of the offense to do the same. KING vs. MCEAHERN. These much talked of cases came to trial at the Sessions at Gore Bay on ‘ the wth and 27th 0t May 1908. when John and Alex. McEachern, of Little ’ Current, were tried for stealing a quantity of pork, the property of John Mensour. which had been saved from the fire at Little Current in December 1907. From the newspaper reports charge of the cases, went to show that he had been detailed on the cases after Mensour had received his Insurance and had found a few sides of bacon piled in theâ€"svood shed at the home of John McEachern, without any attempt dence that any of it had been used while to controvert any suggestion of appropriation by McEachern. the de- tective said that there was a large ,1 quantity of fresh pork and fresh beef ‘ on McEachern’s premises at the time he was there, and that McEachern had Mansonr to McEachern, to look after it for him. Mr. B. H. Turner. Mayor of the Town, testified that MeEachern, !who was Town Constable at the time, McEACHEBNS NOT GUILTY. (Begin: Loader.)

They walked through the ' country as far as Moose Jaw but with- out any better success. There they appealed to' Mr. McKellar, of the Board of Trade, but as Moose Jaw had already a large quota of unemployed all Mr. Mohellar could do for them was to assist them in getting something to seat. He provided them with a meal on Thursday and Friday, and this was all they had to eat untilthey returned to the city last night except for what scanty fare they could gather on the way back. But even in this they were not always successful, as in one in- stance they appealed to a man at Belle Plain who posed as a parson and offer- ed to assist them. After waiting for over two hours they again approached ‘ the house only to find the man drunk and beating his wife. The men, much ' disappointed, plodded on their weary ’ way and slept that night without food. Those who were fortunate enough to have an extra pair of trousers with ‘ them, disposed of them and in this ' way were able to procure as much L . bread as kept the party from actual , ! suffering. These are not hardened ‘ vagrants of city slums, but sturdy sons of the soil who never before had known ‘ f ‘ what it was to be without food. They n ‘all said they had left good jobs in the e “ East, at which they had been earning e ‘ $2 a day, and had come here to secure 0 the highest pay of the harvester. 0 3 They can therefore ill br )0]: the condi- y | tious that have reduced them to such r- 1 a pitiable plight. L 3 t} t Ovm- a hundred are huddled together at the C.P. R. depot, and as Mr. Cum- Inins stated, there is not 50 cents to be found amongst the crowd. Many of the men have come all the way from Nova Scotia. There is also considerable grumbling at the reduction in wages on railway construction work. At present the men say the U.P.R. are only paying $1.75 per day. Out of this they have to pay $4.50 per week for board, $1.25 per month for medical attendance, ' and $2.50 if they require blankets. had come to him the same morning that the pork had been taken to his place and notified him as Mayor of its being there, and asked instructions as to what he should do with it, when he was advised to leave it there until Mensour found a place for it, and Mr. Turner himself had talked to Mensour about the pork being at McEachern’s and advised him to look after it. Some witnesses testified that the pork was of no value, having been spoiled in the fire. Others, that they had heard John McEachern notify Mensour to come and get his pork within two days after the fire. Mensour himself con- tradicted some of the other witnesses. 1 But it was palpably evident that Memo 1 sour left the pork at John McEachern’s ‘ because he was afraid to claim it for fear it would interfere with his claim ifor insurance, and afterwards had complained against John McEachern for having kept it. Apparently this was done only to justify his own neg- llect in not making claim to the pork . within a reasonable time. The Mc- Eacherns were both given a good ' character by all the witnesses ques- ' tinned on this point, and it was not i thought necessary that they should‘ I testify in their own behalf. The only 3 reason for arresting Alex. McEachern l was because he had lent his horses and f sleigh to save some goods from the t fire. The J udge‘s charge to the Jury was in favor of the accused, and after i theth retired a few minutes they 1 returned with a verdict of “ Not Guilty,” and the accused were honor- " ably discharged.
