A rumor has also reached us of poachers having been seen on the Government game sanctuary at Wilder‘s Lake, and as this has been set aside for a period of five years, and a person is not allowed to have even a gun on the property, a con- viction in this case, too, would mean a heavy flne. While no names have been disclos- ed. we have been told of specific in- stances when? partridge have been hunted during the past few days, and in one 'case at least our informant makes the statement that partridge have been sold as well. This, under the Act, constitutes a double offence, and the guilty party, if caught, will no doubt be heavily fined. It the halt‘ that has been told us «luring the past week relative to the illegal shooting at“ partridge. is true. then we would suggest that Mr. Eely the (lame Warden had better move his hmxselmlil ell'erts ilmvn in this neighlmrhoml and ramp for a time. at least. lt' ntl‘enders are as thick as the romplainh that have reached this otl‘ire. then he will have a busy time and may, incidentally. pick up some money fur the department he represents. TWO MYSTERIOUS FIRES DESTROY GLENELG BARNS PARTRIDGE SEASON OPENS NOVEMBER 5 The tire on Tuesday morning at Mr. McGirr‘s is also hard to account for. Mr. McGirr and son Lance were at work at the Durham Stone and Sand llompany's plant. and the rest of the family were at school or at work; at least none were in the. viâ€" cinity ol' the barn, which is across the C. P. R. track on the south side. As no trains had passed here since Saturday it could not haVe been a spark which ignited the building. and no one was observed near the place. that day. Neighbors at work on adjoining farms were the first to discover the tire. which. like the one on Saturday, started in the mow. It spread rapidly and the building: was soon consumed. We understand that some hens and a couple of pigs were Saw-d. but there will be. a great deal of stuli‘ burned that will not he miss».j ed for some time. There was an in- surance, all told, of $300 on barn and contents. but this will not even start to pay for the loss, the barn alone1 being: worth three times that sum. Both Mr. Luwronm- and Mr. Mc- Gu‘r aw at. a 1053‘ to oxvlzlin Um mysâ€" terinus fires. Complaints Beach This Oflice That Some Have Already Been Out For This Season and One Complainant Says Partridge Have Even Been Shot and Sold Here This Year. In the case of the Saturday night tire, Mr. Lawrence was in town and Mrs. Lawrence was the only one on the place. She heard the crackling of the flames. but as quite a heavy rain had been falling all evening, she. attributed it to that cause. She fln- aily looked out and discovered the mow on lire. Nothing could be done and with the exception of keeping watch on the house and surrounding property. the big crowd that soon gathered from town and vicinity were quite helpless. Besides the. barn. about 77» chickens and a num- ber of ducks, geese. and one pig. were destroyed. Mr. Lawrence had 3500 on the barn and another 8500 on the contents. but this will not nearly pay his low. Saturday night about 9.30 a barn belonging to John M.

As stat- ed previously in these columns, the old Glen road as a through thorough- fare will be abandoned. although the new road will not be in any shape for travel this year. We understand it is the intention to cut the hill down considerably and use the fill thus obtained in levelling up the ap- proach to the big hill, killing two birds with one stone. as it were. The gang working east from Price- ville is under the supervision of Mr. Thomas Nichol and expects to have the road all gravelled and ready for use as far as the big hill this fall. .\ny hows that the work on the County rnaots wuuld be continued on till late in the fall were shattered this week when the announcement was made that all County roadwork \vuuld be cut 011' about the let of No- vember and the. machinery put in storage till next spring.

During the day around town there was quite a lot of Speculation as to the weight. the animals would be, but we think that from the grunts and "yo-heaves" in the car. and the echo out at the lake, the animals tipped the scales at a lot more. than was ever dreamed of even by the "oldest inhabitant." 'l‘he bison were taken from the car and loaded on one at‘ Noble’s trucks and taken to the en- closure that was to be their future residence. For animals that had just come through an eight-day trip on the train they were in good shape. although the male appeared a little groggy for a couple of days and did not move around much.

DURHAM, ONTARIO, CANADA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, ERMA ~' There was no evidence to show that the liquor in question had ever been sold, or even ofl'ered for sale, but the fact of it being found in a concealed Blace increased the susFi- cion and t eopenalty imposed wi - out further Investigation. The an- alysis of the liguid showed an alco- holic content 0 slightly over 20%. A sample of the stuff produced was sent to Toronto for analysis and the alcoholic content proved stronger that the law allows and one of the prOprietors was called to account. Mr. McAulifl‘e admitted the charge and said the goods produced in court had been made by himself from rhu- barb and dandelions and was made for his own use. No further evi- dence was taken, and as it is con- trary to the law relating to the On- tario'l‘emperance Act to have any- thing in a public house stronger than 21%.- per cent. alcoholic strength, Mar gistrate Laidlaw felt that the only' course to pursue was to impose a fine in accordance with the Act and fixed the penalty at $300 and costs or, in default of payment. three months in jail. The fine and costs were paid forthwith. . L’l, Ellsworth 19, Edith 17, Marie 15, and Charlie 4 years. She also leaves one sister, Mrs. John Stmvart, in Port Arthur. and two uncles. Messrs. James C.

PIONEER PASSED AWAY MONDAY (Traverston Correspondence.) A most highly esteemed and dear- ly beloved pioneer, Mr. John Green- wood, passed peacefully away at 9.30 on Monday evening after some months of failing health, and, of late. intense sutl‘ering. With the falling of the autumn leaf, he has been gar- nered in at a good old age. He was born January 2, 1851, in Cornwall. England, and when five years of age the family came to Canada, settling a year later on the 2nd Concession. where Ernest Greenwood now lives. Later, they acquired the farm now owned by Mr. Henry Motl‘at. When 21 years of age he wedded Miss El- izabeth McKnight. and to them was born a daughter, Angeline (Mrs. G. Robertson of Molesworth). About five years after their marriage she died and years after he married Miss Ann Cameron, and a most. happy and prosperous union it proved, she passing away two years ago after 7d years ef wedded life. By the latter union a son and daughter were liern. W. J.. on the homestead. and Susan (Mrs. .1. ll. Robson . of the 6th Con- cession. The family were deyoted in their care of him. as well as Mrs. W.
