Last Sunday afternoon, Philip Strauss of the Howicx townline, was surprised to find a couple of men in his orchard helping themselves to his apples. The intruders had several bags filled with the fruit and were about to carry them away to their car, when the owner came on the scene. Ques- tioned as to what right they had to the apples. they replied that “they didn’t think the owner would need them this year." The guilty pair are said to reside in Mildmay, and if they persist in this sort of conduct they will not be let off so easy next time. Other farmers in this section also complain of thefts of their apples this fall.â€" Mildmay Gazette.

Charles Lobsinger was motoring north, when he noticed another car approach- ing at a rapid speed. He gave the other fellow all the road, but even at that their cars collided, and the south- bound motor was thrown into the railing, which prevented it from going down the fifteen foot embankment. The driver of the car was a man named Arkell from Palmerston, and he did not attempt to throw the blame on the other person. Charles Pletsch happened along very soon after the mishap, and while lending a helping hand. a Carlsruhe motorist came along and bumped into his car which was standing nearby. and ripped the bumper ofl'.â€"Mildmay Gazette. sorted to firearms.

When called off, the dog im- mediately made a spring for its vic- tim’s throat and fastened its teeth into the arm that was used to guard the fact. Both man and dog struggled until Edgar succeeded in inserting his hand into the crazed dog’s mouth, securing its tongue and forcing it to release its hold and suffered several cuts on the fingers while doing so. The dog was finally subdued with Mr. Swanston’s assistance, and chained to the fence, where it was immediately shot. The head was sent to the Pro- vincial Department of Health in To- ronto, but there were no signs of rabies to be found. Mr. Bowles suf- fered considerably from his wounds.
