Gue‘ét. GNTARIO Murder of Woolf Joel He temporized with Von Veltheim and made an appointment he did not keep. The blackmailer sensed: his tim- idity and became the more aggressive. He forced his way into Joel’s office and demanded the money. Joel showed pluck, but at the wrong time. He said that Von Veltheim had no claim whatever upon him, but that he would do what he had promised to do, namely, lend him $200 if he could find anyone to endorse his note. The German lashed himself into a passion and drew a revolver. \Strange, the secretary of Joel, seeing the action, drew his own pistol and was unlucky enough to fire the first shot which missed. In the Plot to Kidnap Kruger The German’s scheme was to black- mail Joel by threatening him with ex- posing to the Boer Government details of a plot which Barney Barnato had engineered to kidnap Paul Kruger The truth is that while Barnato, like all other Englishmen then in the Band, was dissatisfied with the Dutch Gov- ernment he had kept on terms of per- sonal friendship with Kruger, and no- body was less likely than he to have concocted such a hare-brained scheme. Ignoring this fact, if indeed he was a- ware of it, Von Veltheim sent threat- ening letters to Woolf Joel. He de- manded £12,000 as the price of his sil. ence. Why Joel did not immediately lay the letters before the police and have the German arrested for black- mail is not clear. Perhaps he thought that the ill-will between Briton and Boer being so intense at the time his complaints would be brushed aside. In that case it might have been more sen- sible for him to have yielded to the de- mands of the blackmailer which would have kept him quiet for a time at least. The course he finally adOpted cost him his life.

He turned up in South Africa at. a time when the relations between the: Uitlanders and the Boers were nearing‘ the breaking point, and shortly after the death of Barney Barnato, uncle of; the Joel boys and one of the richest? men in South Africa. Wbrry had driven Barnato into jumping from the ship that was taking him to England, and his vast affairs passed into the hands of his nephews, Solly and Woolf * Joel. Von Veltheim was almost at the end of his resources when he worked out a scheme to blackmail Woolf Joel.‘ whom he had met in Johannesburg where both were conspicuous figures on the streets and in the night life of the town.

The named Bumiller, of Antwerp, would call with bills 101' £16,000 which Mr. Joel would refuse to honor at his peril. Joel’s agents temporlzed with Bummer who said that he knew nothing abodt his principal except a hotel address where he was to report. But when the detec- Another Blackmailing Attempt So for some years he passed from the scene, though later it was learned that he had been in two or three gaols in the interval. Then one day Solly Joel, who had returned to England and set up as a sportsman, received a letter mailed in Odessa in which Von Velt- helm demanded £18,000. He (insisted thatthiswas theamount ofmoney Barney Barnato had guaranteed him. Perhaps by this time he had got him- self to believe it. But Solly Joel was a man of harder grain than his brother Wool! whom he had sworn to avenge.‘ Immediately he employed a firm of private detectives to hunt down Von Veltheim. Sleuths went to Odessa but found nothing. Then letters began to than last year. Sault Ste. Marie, Windsor, Peterboro and Oshawa are all out to double their last year’s total and from numerous other places comes word of gains over previous efforts. Plans are being made to hold a father and son service in Holstein on Sunday evening, February let. This service will be under the auspices of the Tuxis and Trail Ranger boys. Plans are being made for a boys’ choir and Alex. Sim, director of 3095’ Work, will give an address. Alex has just re- turned from a trip on which he spoke to boys and boys’ workers in Hamilton, Guelph, Owen Sound, Hanover, Ches- ley, Wingham, Harriston, Listowel and Palmerston, and he will have a message of worth while interest for boys and all interested in boys’ work. The Trail Rangers of Holstein met on Friday evening and opened their meeting with the usual opening cere- mony. An interesting reading was given by Vincent Ellis. The mentor, largest amount of bonds the Board will offer a week at the forthcoming sum- mer camp at Holstein free of cost. To the boy in each of the five localities covered by the Board, that is Han- over, Durham, Flesherton, Holstein and Dromore, who selk the largest amount in his community, will be offered a week at camp at half-price. This should prove an inducement to those boys who intend to attend the camp‘ this summer. Keep working right up to emanate EXTENDED The Bond-Selling Campaign is still on! It had been planned to announce the results in South Gney and also the prize-winners in the Corner this week. but last Friday and Saturday all men- tors and other officials received not!!!- cation from the Ontario Board that the final date of the campaign hadbeen ex- tended until the fifteenth. This gives the boys another week in which to work Locally Hanover and Durham are putting up a great battle as to who will raise the most. The Durham boys asserted that they could sell twice as much as Hanover and now the Han- overlans are out to make them eat their words. Guelph and Owen Sound have a challenge between to raise $100 more This year the South Grey Board are offering special prizes for the campaign in addition to the medals offered by the Older Boys’ Parliament. To the boy the 15th, boys! Let’s put South Grey up among the leaders in this campaign. And it can be done by everyone doing his best. and judging by comments received from various parts of the Province, the campaign promises to be a great suc- trial provided a tremendous sensa- tion. Von Veltheim pleaded self-de- fence. Strange admitted that he had fired first. Von Veltheim said that he saw a revolver in Joel's hand and in the excitement of the moment supposed that he, too, had shot at him.

The Excelsior Tuxls Square, the Es- wimos and Sioux Trail Ranger Camps are going strong in the campaign. They raised $100 the first two days and are still at it. The Trail Rangers of the Spartan Camp here are having a very successful season under the able mentorship of Ross Wright. Every boy in the group has qualified for one or mom badges and recently the group was awarded the Certificate of Recognition. At their church's annual garden party they built they own booth and displayed two live alligators from Florida.
