Everything that possibly could hap- pen to it did. and then some! This episode is only one of the three big lau hing factions into which “Hot cater” is divided. There is just enough plot in. the newaloyd' opus to hold the inci- dents together in one trend of thou? t, but that is just what Lloyd is staff set out to do. “Hot Water” is one continuous string of “gags." with the imagination being heavily drawn upon {or their origin- flity. ‘ - - -n n. n A'. wJobyna Ralsfion Lloyds beautiful leading lady in “\Vhy Worry” and “Gill Shy,” heads the” supporting Sam Taylor and Fred Newmeyor handlod tho direction. with the plot the work of Taylor.

Knocked Out by Auto A reckless Kitchener motorist nearly succwded in putting Frank Schneider out of husiness here on Wednesday night of last week. Frank works for his brother, Ed- mund. just north of the Village. and while returning home about 10.30 a car came from the south at a ter- rific Speed. and although Frank kept. well to one side of the road, the flivver bumped into him and knocked him into the ditch. Here the in- jured man lay in a semi-conscious condition for half an hour. Fortun- ately his brother happened along. and seeing an object lying in the ditch. he got out of his cutter to investigate. He was amazed to find his own brother in a badly battered condition. and hurried him to the doctor’s office. Here he was found to be suffering from a dozen or more serious bruises and cuts. His cloth- ing was also badly torn. all of which goes to indicate the serious nature of his injuries. Frank was confined to his bed for several days. but is now able to be about again.

Arnott was advised by the man to insure his money. He handed it over to the stranger who gave him a. cheque for $50 and told him to cash it at the bank when he got home. Later the youth learned the cheque was no good and he told his story to the police who gave him very little hope of the money being recovered.

For robg bery of A F George's general store at Port Elgin, they‘vvere sentenced. at Walkerton on Fridaz' last. by Na. gistrate John Macar ney. Brown, who had a previous conviction against him, was assigned to Guelph for a six months’ determinate and a six months’ indeterminate sen- tence. His companion in the bur- glary was put away for three months, with an additional three months at the discretion of the auth- orities. Of course if these young menconduct themselves satisfactor- ily, the periods of indeterminate sentence possibly will he reduced. In the Magistrate’s court. Blundell pleaded “guilt .” On the other hand, Brown entere a plea of “not guilty." After the evidence of five witnesses. Brown was convicted. It appears that Blundell had previously_ {nude â€"_â€"v a written confession of the robbery, implicating Brown. In his evidence, however, e contradicted this, con- tending that he alone was responsi- ble for breaking into the store and taking away goods, all in face of numerous indications that two were concerned in the affair.â€"-Walkerton Telescope. During the past few days, Mr. R. Lee has been operating the snow- mobile on the run between South- ampton, Owen Sound and Port Elgin. The snowmobile is a Ford chassis remodelled. In place of front wheels, it has two runners like skis. The front and 'rear wheels have been placed at the back close together, and run with a caterpillar chain or belt. The new outfit manages over the big drifts without trouble. and can travel at a good pace. There is room for about six passengers and some freight asAwell'. Mr. Lee has had a successful summer season and bones that his new outfit will give satisfaction for the winter. It is a great conven- ienco to travellers and commercial men especially as it saves the long way round trip via Palmerston on the railway.-â€"Southampton Beacon. On Thursday morning last, the news came to Shelburne by .tele- zilione of the death of Simon Jelly, who might aptly be termed Shel- liurne‘s “Grand Old Man,” at the General Hospital, Hamilton. after a brief illness. He had gone to Ham- thon about five. weeks ago to Spend the winter months with his young- est _daughtexj._l‘.li's. Milton J. Miitvi‘. The late Simon Jelly was born near Brockville in the township of Elizabethtown. 86 years ago He was a son of an early settler of that municipality and spent the school «lays of his life in what is known as Jellyby, the settlement having been named after his father. the late John Jelly. He was one of a large family, all of whom prede- ceased him.
