No smner did the Hydroelec-a tric Commission take charge than they woceeded to ride rtmgh-shod over the municipal Council. lnstezul of taking orders from the Council. whose servants they were supposed to be, the Commission issued its or- ders with all the autocratic insol- ence of a Kaiser.‘and from these or- ders there, was no appeal. The said servants became the dictatorial masters ot‘ the peeple‘! who are treated as children.

VANDALS AT WORK IN t ‘ WEST GARAFRAXA TOWNSHIPJ (Arthur Enterprise-News. t A provincial police ott‘icer in the} employ of the Attorney-Generals de- 3 patment is at work in this vicinity; in an effort. to locate the perpetrator! of a despicable outrage committed on the horses of Sylvester Smeltzer of ‘ \Vest Gal-afraxa. When Mr. Smelt-t zer went t0 his barn on the mornine't of Sunday. 2nd inst.. he found hiss horses in an agonized condition. Dr.t Kelleher was sent for and later a vettirrinary from Mount Forest. and relief was administered. It. is be- lieved that. in‘some way the animals were given a dose of Gillett’s Lye Or some similar preparation. Two of the animals were terribly burned, while two others were not. so seri- ously affected. It is thought new that. the lives of all will be saved. How the lye was administered is something of a problem, as it is very doubtful if the animals would eat or drink such a dose in any form. Grown Attorney Kearns was notified of the occurrence and had a police otTieer put. On the job. \Vhite the whole affair seems Veiled in mys- tery. it is quite probable that there is some connection betwetui this and. the poisoning affair in the same Neighborhood. by which two sons ni' Mr. John Cope found what they thought. was poison in their food in [the pantry. wheh et‘t‘ectet’i the death of their dog and sickened them crit- icaliy.
