Mr. Weaver was quite indignant that his name should have biwn coupled with such a brazen falsehood. and said there was absolutely nothing to the yarn.

The story of the near drowning of Mr. Thomas Henderson of this place On his recent trip across the Atlantic to visit his old home in Scotland, and which was the basis of a news article in The Walkerton Herald and Times of two weeks ago, now turns out to have been nothing more than a pipe-dream on the part of the editor of that paper, who had absolutely no excuse or reason for allowing his journalistic sensation~ alism to run away with his good sense when he penned the article. Why he did it is best known to himself. According to the article in The Times, Mr. Frank Weaver, organist in the \Vzllkerton Presbyterian church, who went over on the same boat with Mr. Henderson, but who returned to Walkerton on August 2, was responsible for the statement.
