It seems he was driving a load of wheat to the barn with a! lighted pipe in his mouth when the load caught fire and was burned to ashes, including a brand new wagon. The horses were detached in time to save them. but the tire ran along the ground, destroyed considerable grain and would have destroyed more had it not been ultimately extinguished by plowing up the ground and cut. uting 08 the stubble connection. Mr. Brown had his hands and face badly scorched in trying to extinguish the fire. WE had a brief call ‘last Saturday evening item Mr. A. R. Ball, oi Jerome, Arizona. He is a son of John Ball. of Normonby near Hamp- den, and has been in Arizona for the put eight or nine years. About. the 6th of July he got home on a visit with his wife nnd child. Mr. Ball being n Chroniele reader who pays 4. J I-.. Vv."a â€" '_-‘v up. we were glad to see him and for the half hour he spent in our office we were delighted with his descrip tive account of Arizona. He had with him a lot of capper ore. mining being the principal and in fact almost onlv occupation of the maple. They have no dew nor rain there and con- sequently nothing grows only through irrigation. All the reptiles and insects of various kinds and even skunks are extremely poisonous andl a bite from one of them is certain to cause death. The people have no imore morals more than to “ treat you right i! you do right. and shoot you if you do wrong.” the “ right ” and “ wrong ” being simply based on popular opinion. The process of handling copper oreis quite an in- teresting topic and Mr. Ball can tell it in an interesting manner. Speak- ing oi Frank Irwin’s letters in the Chronicle. he says he read every one 0! them. and that a friend of his who was an army doctor in Cebu at one time corroborates every word he writes regarding army life and the manners and customs of the Filipinos. PLAYED IN THE RAIN AND L08T TO THE ABERDEENS BY SIX T0 TWO. Spiked shoes and wet weather won the game for Markdale last Thursday the date of the championship match between the Aberdeens and Durham, and our boys certainly found the Durhams in hard luck. Glass, who playetxsuch a star defence game on the 1'2t , was out of town and had not returned. “Doc” Mahan, Dur- ham’s husky point. was ill, while Cam. McIntyre though unfitted by his illness decided to play rather than let the boys go with eleven men. The defence thus being. to use a common “UIUIILU ‘5‘! 5' term, on the “flink’h Several of the other players had to be moved out of their customary places. Grant was placed on defence, Winkler was moved back to point. and Allie Mclntyre was placed on second home, while Mc- Cracken a junior with little practice played inside home. About 6:45 the two teams lined up as follows: vv‘-â€"-' DURHAM. MARKDALE. Laidlaw Goal Dundas \Vinklvr I'uint Blacketock 'l‘. Collinson C. 1’. J. Stephenson Grunt 1st Def. \V.

() Sound has drawn the bye so the next match will be between Markdale and Durham on neutral l grounds. Jos. Pheland, of Arthur, refereed the game in a satisfactory manner. Hill played a better game than he did here; he wasn’t so timid. For Markdale, Alton, Sproule and McMillan shone, while' Dundas in goal stapped some clever shots. In the number of goals scored so far.

Some who assist nature to make fools of them- selves by getting drunk could have a lot of wisdom pumped into them by tapping their pockets with a few fines. It’s wonderful too how far a few doses would reach. Some exchanges give due credit for everything they copy; on the other hand there are some who think it no harm to steal whatever suits them and pass it 03 as their own. This is a sort of journalism we do not like. and something, we think, an honor- able newspaper-man will try to avoid. Some items, of course, go the rounds and everyone seems to have the right of using them without being charged with a species of petty larceny. A preacher once said: Editors dare not tell the truth. If you did you could not live. Your newspaper would be a failure.” The editor re-, plied: “You are right. and the minister who will at all times tell the truth about the members, alive or dead. who will occupy the pulpit more than one Sunday, and he will find it neceSSary to leave the town in a hurry. The press andpulpit go hand in hand with whitewash brush and kind words, magnifying little ‘virtues into big ones. The pulpit and the press are a saint-making partnership.” And the minister went away looking very thoughtful, while the editor turned to his work, telling about the unsurm’ountable beauty of the bride, while as a mat- ter of fact she was as homely as a mud fence. WAS DEAD AND IS ALIVE AGAIN. Cecil Gun Heard of After the Preach- ing of his Funex a1 Sermon. A few weeks ago we referred tol the drowning of Cecil Gun in Bostonl Harbor. The circumstances are briefly as follows : â€"Cecil, a sailor of three years experience, took passage in the Virginian, bound from Liver- pool to Boston, and performed sailors, duties in the usual way. He was not a Stowaway as reported by the press at the time, but as he intended to leave the vessel on her arrival in Boston, he would not sign the articles okagreement, and told the captain ‘ ' Because of some alien regulations 6 American law the boy. 18 yrs. ’ge was not allowed to land in Bos- ‘ to . and in accordance with said medulations he had to he deported, [But this was antagonistic to Cecil’s But this was antagonistic to Cecil’s nature. and rather than return to England be decided to jump over- board and swim ashore: On pulling out from the dock on the return trip he put his determination into efiect, jumped into the sea in a heavy ebb tide and‘ as the report goes, failed to reach the shore. That he was a good seaman, a gentlemanly young fellow, and everything desirable. was confirmed last week in an interview Dr. Gun had with the captain of the Virginian as she returned from England to Quebec. The boy was identified also from a photo in Dr. Gun’s possession, and a sample of his hand-writing recognized by one of the mates. The facts as stated above were communi- :cated to the Dr., and in company with his son, Dr. Arthur Gun, of Innerkip. the two returned from the Ancient Capital to confirm the sad news to a heart-broken family. all of whom were nearly frantic with grief. The Dr. arrived home Saturday night, and Sunday morning the Rev ? Mr. Farquharson preached a touching memorial sermon 'in connection with the sad event. Everybody was moved by the sever affliction that had befallen the family. and the com- munity was unanimous in expres- sions of sympathy for the Doctor and his household. The confirmation of the accident was the general subject of discussion Monday. Everybody felt for the bereaved. and the news- papers too. were wondering how they could perform the unpleasant task of chronicling the event. But- the scene was changed, and hope again sprung up in the house of Dr. Gun, when a telegram was re- ceived from Mr. MacKenzie. of Port- land. Oregon, announcing that he had been in communication with Boston detectives and that Cecil had been successful in reaching the shore and was still alive and well. Dr. Gun then telegraphed the chief of police and had the fact confirmed, but that the whereabouts of the lad was not known. The probability is that the subject of so much anxiety is again ‘on the bounding billows, and quite ignorant of the trouble he has caused his fond parents.
