rum GLOHBCY, DURHALK, ' tent to murder Father T. J. Clohecy of Dundalk at Proton on Saturday evéning, John Cosgrave, Jr., a deaf mute, appeared before Police Magis- trate Creasor at the police court at Owen Sound on Monday evening at 8 o’clock and was remanded to the county jail till August 30, when he will come up for his preliminary hearing. The prisoner was in tat- tered working clothes and apparent- ly had not been shaved for some days, cosgrave’s brother was pres- ent when he. was remanded and ex- plained the charge to him. . t’ilminty Constable Pembroke of Owen Sound went down to Proton to the scene of the shooting of Father Clohecy on Sunday morning. Cos- grnve had disappeared immediately following the shooting, which occur- red in front of the Roman Catholic Church. and was hiding in the swamps about his brother’s home. Although a posse pf police and men had been scouring the swamps all ll‘|l.§ "vvv day Sunday and Ménday morning the perpetrator of the shOOting could not be found. " Monday at noon he was seen com- ing through the fields to his father’s home. The police were immediately notified and Major Pembroke and Constable Cronin of Proton hand- cuffed him after he had put up a short fight. He had hidden his rifle before. he was taken by the officers. They found a box of .25-calibre rim- flre cartridges, as well as several loose ones. in his clothing. He was at once brought to Owen Sound and lodged in the police cells. ‘VLIâ€"vv‘ â€"â€"â€" ' Constable Pembroke secured a signed statement Monday morning from bathr Clohecy. The statement read: “Johnny Cosgra-Ve shot and wounded me at the entrance to St. Patrick's Church, Proton Station. on the night of Saturday, August 19, at about 8. 20 p ..m ” The \xarrant on xxhich Cosg roxe was arrested a as an old one, issued this spring. charging him with as- sault. to do bodily harm on- his father. This warrant was being ex- ecuted when Cosgrove escaped, and so no action has been taken since. He was arrested on this warrant. A dismtch from Dundalk on Mon- day says that Father Clohecy is in a critical condition as the result of his wound. the bullet having pierced his Constable Rice told the story of the shooting. Father Clohecy was in the actor closing the door of St. Patrick’s Mission Church at Proton when he saw Cosgrave approaching from the road with a. rifle. He stepped into the church and pulled the door to. It is alleged that. Cosgrave tried to force the door. The priest then op- ened it and Cosgnave standing within five feet of him pointed the rifle at him and fired. The rifle was a .32 and the bullet softâ€"nosed. It made a clean wound going in but tore out the flesh when it came out in the back. right lung. The doctors in attend- ance early that, morning held out litâ€" tle hope of his recovery. Cosgrave is a Roman Catholic and no religious question is involved in the shooting. It is believed to be due! to a family quarrel. It is thought: that there were strained relations. between the Cosgrave father and son.‘ The family formerly owned some property outside their homestead. The father sold this and it is alleged that the son felt wronged in not be- ing considered in the sale. Constable Rice said that he thought the shoot- ing was because Father Clohecy was friendly with Cosgrave senior and the son took this method of getting revenge. Father Clohecy had been in the district for four years. It is said that Cosgrave had threatened him on previous occasions, but there is no certainty in this statement. Father Clohecy is a graduate of Lyola College at Kitchener. For the last four years he has been aLDun- dalk. Previous to that he was curate at St. Basil’s Church, Brantford. maroon. Monday evening Fat-her Clohecy rallied somewhat, but his condition remains grave. Dr. Carter of Dun- dalk said the patient was in no im- mediate danoer. cusp cfimfimw We still contend, no matter what. the 30ft. coal men may say. that it continues to be a hard coal probleln.

Mr. Lego vette was a son of the late Robert Legate, who was clerk of Eg- remont Township for 16 years. He was born in the County of Haldiâ€" mand. but came with his parents to Egremont when quite young. He 'serVed as clerk in a store at Holâ€" stein for some time with the late Peter Dickson and after his marri- age kept st01e for a short time at Greenside, in the township of Egre- mont. He marred Abigail Pitt and to them were born four sons and One daugh- ter, the latter of whom died when quite young. After the death of his wife 32 years ago, he married Jennie Weir, widow of the late Robert Fitz- Simmons, who survives. The sons are: John, at Alliance, Sask.; William at the Rocky; George at Battle Bend, Sask, and James in Owen Sound. , Three brothers and one sister sur- Mr. Leg gette spent a number of v ears on the town line between Glenâ€" elg and Egremont, but, previous to going West about seven years ago, he lived ten years in Bentinck, and a similar period in Glenelg near the Rocky.

He was a dex oted member of the Orange order while here and since going West we are sure he has been identified with the society, if at all possible. WHERE KISSING IS UNKNOWN The average Canadian who, when he meets a woman friend in the street, raises his hat, shakes hands, and says politely, "‘How do you do?” would he astonished if he could see some of the strange forms such greetings take in other lands. Thus, when a South Sea Islander meets anyone Whom he wishes to honor, he pours a jar of water over his head; and the native of Central Africa on such an occasion strips the other man of his robe and ties it round his own waist. The native of the Gold Coast fav- ors a form of salutation little less strange; for, after boning profound- 1V, he slips his outer garment from his shoulders and holds it under his arm; while in Morocco, when a man on horseback sees a friend approach- ing he charges full tilt at him, reins up his horse suddenly Within- a few feet of him, and tires a revolver over his head. To uncover the head is the Euro- pean’s way of showing politeness and respect; but the Chinaman, when he wishes to be polite, puts his hat on his head if it is not there already; while the gentleman of Japan shows his respect by taking ofl‘ his shoes. If, whilst walking in Mandalay, you should chance to meet the King of Burma, you would be expected to step and remove your shoes; but you would be allowed to approach the ,Shah of Persia only if your feet were lbare. If the natives of Chittagong shouldl chance to see two European womenl kiss each other on meeting, they‘ would Open their eyes in wonder; for their method of greeting is to place the mouth and nose on each other’s cheeks and take a long and vigorous sniff. Translated into plain English, they would say to each oth- er, not “Kiss me,” but “Smell me.” .And when a Mongolian father is in an affectionate mood, he does not kiss his children, he smells their hair. Among Arabfihe common practice is to kiss the feet or knees, but if the person saluted is of higher rank the hem of his garment must be kissâ€" ed. “Where the Canadian says, “How do you do?” the Franchman “How do you carry yourself ‘2” and the Gerâ€" man “How does it" go?” or “How do you find yourself?” the Arab after shaking his friends hand about a dozen times, greets him with the words, “The peace be upon you,” to which he receives for an answer, :“Upon you he the peace.” When he inquires after his friend’s health, the stereotyped reply is “Praise be to God!” “Is it well with thee?” he continues. “God bless and preserve thee,” answers his friend; and thus the dialogue continues some minutes before the two fin l‘ ‘get to business. " If you were to make a formal can on a Jupi of Brazil, your host would ofi'er you a‘ seat and sit absolutely silent for about-a; minute. Then‘ he would startle by exclaiming in a land vâ€" «For they say ’tis but" the sunset ‘ winds that wander through the heather, Rustle alt the meadow grass and bend the dewy fern; They say ’tis but the winds that how the reeds in prayer together, And fill the shaken pools with fire along the shadowy burn.

An Austrian who had gone sudden- ly insane in 1913 and had been con- lined in an asylum near Vienna. blissfully igorant of the war and of the revolution, was recently dis- charged as cured. To celebrate, he hired a cab and had himself driven to the Prater. Upon arrival the cab- man demanded eighteen thousand kronen. The cured man paled and grew faint. “This is terrible,” he said tremblingly. “I did not dream of such extortion. “I’ve only a 20- kronen piece with me.” The driver stared at the gold coin, but answered honestly enough: “That is all right. You get 18,000 kronen in change.” The cured man was terrified. “Here, take it all,” he said “and drive me back to the asylum.” You are invited to spend Labor Day, September 4, in Owen Sound, and you will be guaranteed the best day’s sport ever held in the northern district.
