Not having any idea of dist- ance. and thinking to find him if she went far enough, she kept going on and on, in her childishness having no thought of getting lost or the anxiety she was about to cause. It is indeed fortunate that she was found when she was as none of the party of searchers had any idea that one so young could wander so far. Had Mr. Lindsay not heard her cries early in the evening and not thought of it when notified of her disappearance, the chances are she would have perished during the night from exposure as she was wet and chilled when found and pretty. much tagged out after her long tramp. This Thursday morning the Chronicle visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. At- kinson. and found the child bright as ever, up and about, and eating her breakfast, and apparently none the worse for her exposure. Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson have asked us to extend their sincere thanks to all who assisted in the search. Mr. Andrew Lindsay. who was un- aware of the disappearance, and who was working on his farm, thought he heard a peculiar noise down in the swamp, but thinking it was a bird or an animal paid no attention to it. He returned to his home about dark and learned of the countrywide search. Im- mediately he thought of the strange noise in the swamp. went down and found the child sitting on a log, her feet in the water, cold, and crying. The search was over! To reach her, Mr. Lindsay, who wore knee rubber boots. had to wade in water over the taps to reach the lost one. and it is a miracle how she managed to walk from her own home, across one concession, and then another hundred yards into the McGirr swamp, without being drowned. In the journey two or three creeks had to be crossed, fences climbed. and a rough country traversed. The child. while cold. appeared little the worse for her experience, and was taken to the Lind- say home where a hot bath and milk were given her. Her preference. how- ever was for “Bread and butter, with some sugar on it." which was given her. It did not take long fodthe news to reach town, when the distracted moth- er was notified that her baby had been found and would soon be home again. LAUDER-RAY Mr. and Mrs. A.W.I-I.

At the meeting Saturday, May 7 was set as the last date for entries of teams and lists of players. When that date arrived not a single entry had been received. Realizing that the wea- ther conditions of the past weeks had not been conducive to thoughts of soft- ball or any other outdoor sport, the executive decided to advance the date for the entries one week, and the final date for team entries and lists of play- ers to be in the hands of the secretary- treasurer is this coming Saturday, May 14.

This is not definitely decided as yet. but in The tenants claimed their lease did not expire until the following Saturday, but the landlord wanted them out sooner and took this novel way of ac- complishing it. The tenants appealed to the police, and the latter, in marked contrast to the attitude of the land- lord, did not prosecute but simply or- dered him to put the doors back on. He objected at first, but when he saw the paice meant business, went to work with the long screwdriver that had caused cold blasts to sweep through the house, endangering the health of two small children and eliminating the family’s privacy. The tenants looked on and enjoyed the landlord’s second ses- sion of labor.

Mr. Lawrence is stationed at Tilbury and was patrolling his beat near Belle River when, coming over an incline that obscured his view, he saw three hogs on the highway. He managed to dodge two of the ani- mals, but the third ran directly in his path with the resulting serious con- sequences. A passing motorist brought him into Tilbury, where his injuries were attended to, and it is thought his condition will be sufficiently improved to have him brought to his home here the end of this week or the first of next.
