Mr. Fred Welsh, who has leased the McKechnie flour mills, has been head miller here for the Mcâ€" Gowan Milling Co. for the past two years and a half, and is fair- ly well known in this locality. Fifty-five years ago on the 15th 0! this month, M'r. Wm. Konold first saw Durham, and he’s been in and around here ever since. For :1 man in his eightieth year. he is still strong and active. both in mind and body. We hope he may yet be spared for many years. For custom chopping, call on Fred Welsh at McKechnies’, flour milks. Get his prices on three to five ton lots.

For All Kinds of Commercial Printing Try The Chronicle The funeral of the late Thomas Swallow, who died in Winnipeg, a week ago Sunday, was held from Bell's undertaking rooms on Thursday afternoon. After service in the Baptist church, interment was made in Durham cemetery, the Independent Order of Forest- ens conducting the service. While a funeral was proceeding to Mount Forest on Friday last, during the heavy hurricane, a very singular mishap occurred. Owing to the wind, the glass had been removed from the hearse to prevent it from turning over, and the casket secured in its usu- al position. While going to the cemetery, the lid of the coffin was blown completely off, and carried some distance into an adjoining field. We regret to chronicle the death in Toronto last week of Miss Clare Maclaurin, a young lady not much over twenty years of age. She was a sister of Dr. N. T.- Mac- laurin, who practised here for a few years, and was well and fav- orably known to many of the young people of this town. About seventy-five large trees were blown down on Good Friday in a bush belonging to Mr. Geo. Peart, of Traverston. «He was saving these in case he should need them for building purpofies, but there’s nothing now for him to do but to have them cut into lumber to save further loss. The Ladies’ Guild of Trinity church will hold a Mystic Tea in the basement of the church, on Thumday, April 3rd. A full course supper will be served from 6 p.m. to 9. No charge for admission: you pay for what you order. All are invited. The postponed sale advertised on page 2 by Mr. Andrew Ford is really not a postponed sale, but a new sale. Previous to getting out his former bills he had pur- chased a nearby farm, and in- tended to sell only part of his stock. The deal, however. was cancelled, the storm prevented the former sale, and as Mr. Ford has decided to give up farming alto- geth-er, everything will be sold without reserve. A full list ap- pears on page ‘2. Mr. Geo. McDonald advertises his house for sale or rent. He in- tends moving to Hamilton shortly. Mr. Fred Welsh has rented the McKechnie flour mills, and is now prepared to do all kinds of chop- ping, and in a week or so (urn- iah all brands of flour and feed. See his ad. on page 5. as were purchased at good prices, or prices that would have been considered extremely good a few years ago. Indications point to a still further drop, yet good prices are still to be obtained (or good animals in good condition. There will likely be another [air in April. Mr. and Mrs. Wakefield, in up- per town, mourn the loss of a child about two years of age, who died Sunday, under distressing cir- cumstances. The child was one of a pair of .twins, and had always been delicate. Some time ago, it was discovered to be blind, and last week Was taken to Toronto for treatment, during which death occurred. The remains were brought back to Durham on Mon- (hy, and on Tuesday morning taken to Listowel for interment. We regret to learn that Dr. Farquharson is not improving in health, and on Monday last. a:- companied by his brother, Dr. Farquharson, of Winnipeg, ° he went to Toronto to consult a specialist. For the past three or four weeks he has been unable to discharge his pastoral or pulpit duties. It was thought a rest would do him good, but so far he does not seem to have made much progreu, if any, towards recov- E17.â€" Heart trouble in the chief cause of his illness. The home fair on Thursday last was a magnificent success, not- withstanding the downward ten- dency in prices. We learn that eighteen buyers were on the ground and that sixty-three hors- ; Plate glass windows were smash- ‘ed in Macfarlane’s drug store and ,‘Rose’s grocery. About half the shingles were ripped off the south :‘side of The Chronicle office, and Sunday night’s rain left us in quite a mass for Monday morne hing, All around us, reports come in from the country that barns haVe been unroofed and otherwise dam- aged. The following farmers in Glenelg have suffered considerable loss through injury to their barns, many having the roofs blown off: J. Collier, G. Aljoe, T. McGirr. W. Lawrence, J. Matthews, H. Lawâ€" rence, A. Weir, Mrs. R. Bell, W.J. McFarlane, T. Ritchie, W. Edge, R. McFadden, and many others. Similar losses have been sus- tained by farmers to the south of the town, but we are unable to get anything like a full list of the losers, Mr. Hahn’s windmill at the back of the hotel building was badly damaged, and will be of no further use without extensive repairs. Mr. A. S. Hunter’s windmill was blown off completely, and nothing but the tower remains. The storm is generally conceded to be the worst ever seen in Durham and our vicinity, but judging by reports from other places, \xe must conclude that it struck us in a very mild manner comparatively. In Port Elgin, Southzmpton, Kincardine and the county ,of Bruce generally, the losses have been very heavy. In Owen Sound, the damage done is estimated at half a million, and the city of Hamilton is reported to have lost over $300,000. The losses in Ontario, however, are only small compared with damage done in many of the States, by! a subs’cquent tornado that swept through the country from West to East, on Sunday last. Millions of money and hundreds of lives are. reported lost from the Western and Central States. The death toll is very heavy, but owing to the disorganized condition of the telegraph and telephone services from the stricken districts noth- ing like a fair estimate can yet be made. The whole of the galvanized iron roof was blown off McKechnies’ store. It was 100 feet long and. ‘24 feet wide, and cost originally about eight or nine dollars a square. This, we think. is about the heaviest loss in town we have to report. In addition to the iron, 3 solid piece of the roofing. carrying with it four or five ‘24- ieet joists, was blown over on to McLachlan’s roof. Chimneys were blown off the English church, the school, the public library. and S. Scott’s store. A shed containing a number of agricultural implements, includ- ing binders, was blown down, and caused some loss to Mr. Norman Walpole, the agent. Two hundred are reported killed in Omaha, Nebraska, and Council Bluffs, Iowa: fifty were killed in Indiana. Three hundred homes were destroyed in Terre Haute, and hundreds are injured, many of them fatally, in the Cen- tral States. Following the des- truction caused by the wind, fires broke out and added their quota to the awful horror in many of the cities. The storm here on Friday last caused considerable excitement. and quite a lot of damage, all told. Floods followed the tornado, and hundreds of lives have been lost in consequence. The Ohio Valley has suffered heavily. The SciOti, Miami and Ohio rivers have burst their bounds, and will cause a greater death toll than that of the tornado. Columbus, Cincin- nati, Cleveland, Youngstown and other places have suffered heavy loss. Fifteen hundred families are reported homeless in Indianapolis, being forced to flee for their lives and abandon their homes, which were swept away by the flood. _ In the (are of such awful calam- itiés elsewhere, our little troubles sink into insignificance, and we have much reason to be thankful for getting at! so easy. The latest report in this Wed- nesday’s dailies, says that 5,000 are dead in Dayton, Ohio, 1,000 in Hamilton, Ohio, and 540 in Piqua, Ohio, and that 250,000 are lelt homeless, the result of a flood. GOOD FRIDAY’S HURRICANE oumuu. out, THURSDAY. March 27, 1913 i The body was found in an exca- vation under the kitchen of the ;house. This “cubbyâ€"hole” was reached through a trap-door leading down to a kind of cellar {from the front part of the house. From the main cellar to 11 here the body 11 as found, a bank of earth ohst1ucted the wax. To this hidâ€" .ing place it would require much strength to drag the body over the obstructions. The trap-door to the cellar was covered with oil- cloth. and would not be easily dis- cox ered by a stranger. More- on er, a stranger if he committed .murder, would scarcely deem it inecessary to go to so much trou- ible in secreting the body. This lalone led us to think that no [stranger had a hand in the vile ’deed. Any stranger committing such a crime, it seems to as, would dispose of the body with as llittle trouble as possible, and lose ‘little or no time in making for {his owasslety. It seems unnatural to think that a fourteen-year-old boy should swear his father to the gallows, and as it appeared from the pre- liminary investigation that he would be the chief Crown witness, and the evidence given by him would be purely circumstantial, many who believed Love to be guilty had grave doubts of a jury finding a verdict against him. At first. and up to the time of the preliminary investigation, there were some suspicions against the boy himself, but from that time on the general feeling was that Love himself was the guilty one. He is certainly a strange sort of man, and from first to last he maintained an apparent feeling of indifference. After his wife’s disappearance, he didn’t seem to worry as most men would under similar circumstances. When he himself discovered the body, he instructed the son to tell about the meeting of a strange man on the road are he was on his ‘waSy to school, and also instructed him, according to the boy’s evidence, to say his mother was in the house on the morning after the murder, and that she was knitting in the kitchen about half-past eight when he, the boy, started to school to Flesherton, a mile and a hafi'awey. These stories were first told by the boy, but when Detective Reâ€" burn got hold of him, he admitted they were untrue, and that in making such statements he was doing so on the instructions of hhsfather. Fronitlds poshfion the boy never changed. Ekatuhnfited he told lies and was never shaken in his evidence from the story he told Detective Reburn. It will also be remembered that a tramp was arrested at Dundalk on sus- picion, but was soon released, as he was not considered in any sense to be connected with the crime. The Love murder trial was con-4 cluded in Owen Sound on Fridayg evening last, the jury returning a’ unanimous verdict of guilty, after‘ spending three hours in deliberar tion. The murder of Hannah Lu-i cille Love, for which her husband, Henry Love, was found guilty, oc-: curred at their home in Ceylon on; the night of December 9th. and, from that time on, much interest was felt in the case. The chief witness against the condemned man was his own son Arnel, a boy of fourteen years of age. LOVE FOUND GUILTY OF THE MURDER OF HIS WIFE When a woman says, “it’s no use talking,” don't jump to the conclusion that she isn’t going to. Even the tellow who take: things as they come, my hate to let go 0! them. The condemned man appeared throughout the three days’ trial to be quite unconcerned, and at times appeared more like an interested spectator than a man on trial for his life. The judge’s charge to the jury is reported to be unfav- orable to the prisoner, but in the usual manner he admonished the jury to cast aside all sentiment and bring in a verdict on the strength 0! the evidence. After the report of the jury, the iudge deferred passing sentence until next day, when be fixed May 27 as the date of execution by hanging- QVVVVVVWVVWVVWVVWVV' V'VV'V'VVVWVVV '"VVWVVVO E BUTTERICK FASHIONS S.
