Last Friday morning Police Mag-l istrate Laidlaw parked his car in1 front of Barrister McQuarrie’s office? on Lambton street, but evidently did not take sufficient precaution when he left it on the grade at this- pomt. for when he was inside it started to back down the hill. and, crosSIng.the roa’d, crashed into a coupe owned by an Owen Sound man which was parked in front of the Hahn House. The result was that the coupe came out second best with a large dinge in the body and a damaged fender, while {he Laidl'aw car was not even scratched. In the mix-up the “Stop” sign at the corner was knocked down and bent. but fortunately no other dam- age was done. ' VOL. 60.-'--NOL 3151 The runaway has caused a lot. of us to wonder what would have hap- pened had the coupe not been there. Most certainly Magistrate Laidlva‘w’s car would have gone out on to the “through” highway without. coming to a full sto . and the question now arises, wou d it have been guilty of a misdemeanor? and would our principal law-enforcement officer and fine distributor have been forced to chalk up a "ten and costs” gainst his wandering chariot? The law is the law. you know, and the Act distinctly tells us that a man is responsible for his car while on the highway. Besides breaking the "stop" street bylaw. the car could also he pinched for being out on the highway in charge of a driver under 18 Years of age. and one, too. who did not possess a driver‘s permit. If all these l-aw infractions are enl’ureed we feel that our PM. will possibly have a heart the next time we are up in front of him for inad- vertently breaking: nne 01' the many departmental regulations, 01' else he so marl that. he will want. to sentence us to hanging to get even.

The second disastrous the in eighteen months to visit. the village 01 (Jhatsmorth,19 miles north of here. occurred about 4 oclock on Thursday» morning VS hen the. drug and grocerx store of G. W. Collins, the implement shop of George Cur1ie and the wagon repai1 shop of James McTeer were totally des- t1 01 ed by fire. At the p1eVious fire a year and a half ago a gasoline station was consumed. with a couple of other buildings. and an aged man burned to death. Thursday morning’s fire started in the McTeer wagon shop and ‘for a time it was thought the whole west? side of the village would go, but the Owen Sound fire department, which responded to the call. and a bucket brigade of villagers and farmers from the surrounding district, con- fined the flames to the three buildâ€" ings. The origin of the fire is a complete mystery as there had been no fire in the McTeer building for three days. Besides the loss of their business stock, Messrs; Collins and Currie. also lost their household ef- fects. as they lived over their places of business. The loss is quite heavy. with comparatively little insurance. About 4.30 o’clock Messrs W. S. Hunter and Dr. Pickering of this place received a telephone call from the former‘s sister, Mrs. G. C. MacDonald. and went up to the scene of the conflagration. but the tire was under control when they arrived.

A disastrous fire, suposed to have! been caused by a'spark from the threshing engine, occurred on the farm of Mr. Malcolm McKechnie, about four miles north of town about 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon when his fine big batn, together with the season’s crop, were des- troyed by fire. With barn and contents, two horses, seven hogs, a calf, two cars, belonging to Messrs. Elgin Weber and Earl Vessie, and quite a lot of machinery, as well as considerable spruce lumber, went upum flames. The fire was first discovered by Mr. McKechnie himself, and had gained a start in a sheep pen ad- Joining the barn. Notwithstanding that he immediately gave the alarm. it was soon out of control and spread rapidly to all parts of the building, and despite the frantic ef- forts of those at the threshing very little was saved. Luckily there was time to get the separator out of the main barn. When it was seen that the fire was getting ahead of them, Mr. McKechnie and William Hill ran into the horse stable to release four animals that had been left there, one team belonging to Mc- Kechnie andthe other to Walter Clark. They succeeded in get- ting one animal from each team outside, but two could not be res- cued and perished. Beside the barn proper, which was 40x85 feet and one of the best in the section. a piggery, henhouse and drive shed were burned. For a time it was thought the residence would go also and a tele- phone call was sent to town and a number of the members of the fire hridage with the chemical engine went, up to stand by but, were not needed. The loss is P. particularly heavy one 'at this season of the year and we minim-stand thaL there was only a light. insurance. Much sympathy is oxpross‘mi for Mr. Mclx'echnic in his misfortune.

The contest was in charge of T. Stewart Cooper and was a success in every way.
