Reckless Driving Is Alleged A young man has been summoned to appear before the Police Magistrate in Walkerton at 2.30pm. on June 4 to answer to a charge of reckless driving. One evening last week he was observed operating his car in what appeared to be a dangerous manner on Durham street, so much so that certain par- ents were warned to watch their child- ren. County Constable A. E. Ferguson was summoned, but by the time he had arrived the youth had met with an accident at the corner opposite the egg and Dairy Company’s plant. The auto struck the concrete sidewalk and one wheel was wrenched off. In the final caper three children are said to have had. a narrow escape from being run down.-â€"Walkerton Telescope. Horse Killed by Truck Early Tuesday evening of last week James Calvert, west part lot 4_. cap. 2, W.H.S.. Mulmur, accompanied by his sister, Miss Eliza Calvert. was driving home from Shelburne on the provin- cial Highway. This side of Hall’s Corâ€" ners they were meeting a truck from Owen Sound, belonging to the Northern Transport 00.. and Mr. Calvert turned the horse to the side of the cement, but as the truck neared them the horse suddenly swerved in front of it and the side of the truck struck it, breaking its leg. The animal had to be shot by ‘Chief S. McCauley, of Shelburne. JHighway Officer Kirk investigated the 'circumstances but decided the truck j' driver could not be blamed for the ac- cidentâ€"Shelburne Free Press and Economist. )Keppel Farmer Shoots Eagle A rather unusual incident happened the other night in Keppel township.

The police in other towns on the supposed route have been noti- fied and it is possible that the missing road ship may be recovered in the not too hazy future. In the meantime Henry is without his car and for a man living some distance from town is an inconvenience not to be sneerd at.â€"Walkerton Herald-Times. Boyish Prank Proves Costly A boyish prank one day last week proved very costly to a Guelph store- keeper, and a serious accident was nar- rowly averted. By concentrating rays of sunlight by a powerful magnifying glass. an inquiring boy exploded a win- dow full of firecrackers in a store on the corner of Waterloo Ave. and Edinboro’ road in the Royal city. The firecrack- ers were covered by a paper to keep the bright sunlight from exploding them. The sunlight, focussed by the glass on a spot on the paper, caused it to break into flame and set off the crackers. When firemen arrived they found the store window had been blown out by the blast. The blaze was con- flned to the window sill and was extin- guished «by the firemen with chemicals. Upon the arrival of the police the boy came forward and admitted responsi- bility for the whole thing. He said that he never expected that results would be so severe. â€"-Arthur Enterprise News. Roof of House Burned The house on Reuben Bell’s farm, on the 14th concession of Brant, near the Catholic Church caught fire on Monday afternoon about one o’clock. A hurried phone call soon had the neighbors on the scene and a bucket brigade was busy passing up pails of water to firefighters on the root. In the meantime a call for help was phoned to Chesley and in a few minutes the truck was speeding to the scene of the fire. However the bucket brigade had extinguished the flames when the truck reached the scene and their aid wasn’t needed.

However, Specht kept right on his track and caught up with him as he pulled into his own lane.
