SWINTON PARK Ont. clined to think it was proâ€"German in oriâ€" gin. Reckoned his loss over insurance Basil Davis saw no smoking at Firth‘s fire and every body was so careful the genâ€" eral thought was it must have been set, had little or no suspicion of the party, but wrote a name down in confidence, the onâ€" ly name he ever heard suspected. Who Burned the Buildings ? Mrs O‘Neill had discussed the fire with McKinnon and others but none had any theory, nor could they fix the blame. Geo Peart told of the tracks he followâ€" ed, a full track was 11 inches, had no idea where it belonged. Graham Timmins never heard the saying that the boxâ€"social would not come off. On Wednesday some of the principal witnesses were heard, but no evidence that would lead to revealing the incendâ€" iary was forthcoming. â€" The inquest was adjourned ‘sine die until further evidence can be procured. Mr Jno. A. Beaton and daughter Miss Muriel were two of the first witnesses, and they could give no useful information that was not already known. Patrick Haley told how he was awakâ€" ened at his fire, also that house had been afire, etc, Mrs Ellen Connelly had on $200 insurâ€"| ance and her loss was at least $1000. Her | son James also testified and related his remarkable story ofhow he was wakened . at 11 p. m. by Angus McDonald and told to dress and accompany him and his l brother John, who drove him two miles to their own orchard to "have some fun." . Here John asked him to come down a ravine to "talk to him" whereupon Conâ€" nelly bolted home and escaped them. Geo. Jones, a neighbor, stated Angus told they‘d get Conneily yet, no matter where. On hearing Angus and John McDonalds‘ evidence, which proved Connelly‘s story true, the magistrate bound them over for a year each on $500 bail for good behavyâ€" iour towards young Connelly. They alâ€" leged their motive in thus luring Connelâ€" ly, was because of a scurrilous story the latter told their brotherâ€"inâ€"law Heinrick in Waterloo, about their sister and were going to "give him a talking to" about it. Connelly afterwards testified it was Heinrick who put the story in his mouth. ’fli‘he dispute has no connection with the res. Other witnesses who gave evidence re barn nres were Thos. Timmins, Henry Moffat, Joseph Haley, Jerry McAssey, Mrs Elizabeth Murphy, Patrick McAssey Wm Sweeney, John Peart and son, Edâ€" ward Darcy, Michael Burke, Chas. Mcâ€" Kinnon and Leo. Burke. Joe Sweeney, a lad of 15, was a possible suspect of the McAssey fire because a week before Patrick McAssey had given him a shaking for "sneaking into the barn " _ Sweeney admitted some thefts recently, but said they were settled. "I wasn‘t summoned here for these things" he declared, "I was summoned about these fires, I‘ve the summons here."" He denied, knowledge of the origin of any fire. A returned soldier, Chas, McKinnon, living at Michael Burke‘s, his fatherâ€"inâ€" law, was suspected and much of the ex: amination was directed to this theory but no conmected evidence could be found against him. _ McKinnon‘s testimony on the stand was straight forward and he told a straight story of his doings through out, being present at only one fire, â€"at Beaton‘s So convincing was his eviâ€" dence that the officials and crowd admitâ€" ted and believed Lthat he had no connecâ€" tion with the tires. Though no clue has been found as to the firebug‘s identity, and the trial was adjourned by Fire Marshall Rogers to be reâ€"opened if further disclosures justify, it has been beneficial in clearing the air of much idle gossip, and removed suspicion from several persons â€" Many believe the first fires to be accidental and the later barn fires cases of arson, but who fired them and why yet remains a puzzle. It is to be hoped the fire maniac is yet disâ€" covered, though not at the expense of more barn conflagrations. (On Wednesday mcrning. July 16th St. Jonn‘s R. C Church, Glenelg was the scene of a pre‘:ty wedding when Miss Aunie C. MsMillan, second daughter ot Mr and Mra Donald Mcâ€" Millan, was united in the bholy bonds of matrimony to the man of her choree Mr Alf. O Neill, Rev, Father Flahavâ€" en officiating. Precisely at ten o‘slock, the bridal party entered the church to the straing of the wedding march plaved by Miss Leo O‘Neill, sister of the groom, the bride leaning on the arm of her father aud looking pretty in a dress of wh.te taffetta and georgette, trrmmed w. h pearls and silk tassele, her only ornaâ€" ment being a pearl necklace, the gift of the groom. Bhe wore a bridal veil and wreath of orange blossoms, and carried a shower boquet of roses, swee peas and fern . Miss Flora McMillan, sister of the bride was bridesmaid, and wore a dress of sand crepe de chene. and white hat. _ Her boquet ~was white caroations and ferns with satio streamâ€" ers. _ The groom was ably eupported by bis nephew, Mr Karl Leneban of Owen Sound and recently returned from Europe. Immediately after the. ceremony, and usual good wishes and congratu laions, the company repaired to the home of the bride‘s parents amid showers of confett1, and there partook of a sumptuous wedding breakfast. Th remainder of se day was pleas autly pasaed in various amusements. The variety, yalue and taste of the many gifts show the esteem in which the young couple are held by their many friends. _ Mr and Mre O‘Neill will reside on the groom‘s farm on Coneession 4, Glenelg, The groom‘s gllt to the bridesmaid was a locket, to the groomsman, a tie clip, and to the organist, a silver rosâ€" ary. Continued from page 1 QO‘NEILLâ€"MeMILLAN Th DURHAM REVIEW Hymeneal I had the good fortune to spend Peace Day, June 28th, in London. Rapturons rejoicings was the distingâ€" uishing feature of the celebration in the Empire‘s Capital. Later on there are to be organized programs for pubâ€" lic rejoicing, with all sorts of nice people officiating, but yesterday the populace of London took things into their own hands and informally let themselves ‘‘loose" with a display of enthusiasm which I am told had none of the "mafficking" of armistice week., Chas. C. Ramage also relates a Flesherton boy‘s Experience on Russian Front Trafalgar . Square. Piccndiny,l Strand, Regent Street, and all the| wellâ€"known â€" thorougbfares were| ablaze with bunting and the allied flags were vigorously flown on every side. Tens of thousands packed the down town district so tightly, that all bus and vehicular traffic bhad tobe! diverted to other routes. In fact the crowd was so immense that it was impossible to move at all or make the slightest progress. Every inâ€" strument of music and annoyance were in use You simply had to have‘ some weapon and in the swim. Fire crackers banged at your feet, discordâ€". ant horns blew in your ears, ticklers were numerous, and if you opened your mouth to shout, a handful of confetti would probably fill 1t and send you chouing. Everything in the way of goodâ€"natured deviltry was ‘camed on. Never did Lord Nelson from the top of his high column look ‘down with his single eye on a scene more wond=rful and enthusiastic . Dear Friends _ "Its a long way to Tipperary ( _ It‘s a long way to go.‘‘ \ _ I beard it sung in the Strand and | reâ€"echoed by a fellow throng in fron | of Buckingham Palace. It seemed a |\nnique incident that this popular |army rag which had its birth with the \ inception of the war should again | tind a place five years later at the |\cessation of hostilities. Andounce |\ more the "Marseillaise" was heard in | the great cityâ€"sung and played in | homes and upon the streets and"with | special fervour in front of Buckingâ€" ]ham palace, where the King, Queen and Prince of Wales, came out on the | balcony to welcome a victorious peoâ€" | ple and who in turn rendered the | homageof devoted sabjects. Though | Rugland has an everâ€"growing demoâ€" .?cntlc spirit, the people still hold loyâ€" | ally to the Crown on account of the | popularity of their sovereign and the \Prince of Wales. After many months the old slogan song was resurrected Midnight came â€" Still the carnival of mirth showed no diminution. Did it ever ecd ? London, obviously, was not inclined for sleep on the night of nights and still less was it troubled while yet it had the capacity for chanting, dancing and shouting. When and how it ended we did not know for we had to catch a midnight train from St. Papcras for Ripon. July 3rd, 1919. This morning I had the pleasure of meeting a Flesherton soldier boy namely, William Wilcock, a quiet, reseryed and efficient young man. He is going home for good next week after serving on two battlefronts, more than two years in the sec»ad divisional artillery in France and reâ€" cently with the Can. Artillery Brigâ€" ade on the Archangel front in Russia, From him I gathered the following facts of the war against the Bolshe vists which might be interesting to learn about The 67th and 68th bat teries comprised the Can, brigade of artiliery which landed at Archangel on O:t. 1st of last year. â€" They were all picked men, fit to stand a severe climate and campaign and [ believe all but 20 had seen service in France. On Oct 4, they moved up the Dwina river in barges towed by tugs, to a distance of 170 miles inland where they held the line for the winâ€" ter months. Here they were in supâ€" port to the Royal Scots, the 339h Michigan regiment from Detroit and a company of American Engineers. The Roval Scots were all low category men, some baving an eye out, others partly lame or disabled, etc., but still as brave as Scots always are. Late in October the Scots made an attack against the en my which unfortunâ€" ately fail.d and they lost heavily. No trenches were used ou this front â€"block houses about 12x 15 ft. in size were used as out posts,. The country thereabouts is densely wooded only in the neighborhood of the rivers are there clearances and habitations. Such conditions made warefart very difficult and surprise attack8 could easily be carried out. One inâ€" cident Gunner Wilcock mentioned about their Russian allies showing the same characteristics s they disâ€" played on other fronts earlier in the war, Late in April, the Russians who held the opposite bank of the tiver, mutinied and half of their torâ€" ces deserted to the enemy. _ The arâ€" rival of the British gun boats in the Dwina this spring did much to fend off expected Bolshevistic attacks this spring. â€" On May 6 the relief torce arrived, much to the delight of the smaill allied force. Qna June 1ith they started from Archangel for Bogland . The 67th Battery to which Gunner Wilcock belonged had a much easier time than the 68th, Owing to heavy hostile attacks on Feb. 1st, the latter were forced to retire 150 miles to a Junction point on the Dwins, bot fortunately they saved their guns, PEACE DAY CELEBRATION IN OLD LONDON Ripon.

His last letter on a trip through iIreland, on final leave, will appear rext week, The beaviest combat of their camâ€" paign occurred on Armistice Day, Nov. 1i1â€"the very time when other warring nations decided they had had sufficient The Fiegherton boy says that as far as warfare goes, Russia had its ad vantages over the campaign in France. _ It was not near so severe. During the nine montbs spent in North Russia, the brigade suffered casualties to the extent of 8 killed and 12 wounded. Modern convenâ€" iences were not so numerous but still the good old Y. M. C. A. had its branches there also. Their latitude was about 64 degrees north and the cold was about same as felt in Northern Ontario in winter with a like amount of snow. They had many sporting days and Christâ€" mas was spent with a big dinner and a good program of sports. _ Many of the boys became devotees â€" to snowâ€" shoeing and skiâ€"ing. lo winter it was dark nearly all day, haying dayâ€" light fora couple hours only. In the summer months, it was +carcely eyer dark and they were privileged to see the midnight sun. The Russian peasants there, he describes, as an indifferent race of people, have litcle education and no koowledge of outside conditions. The majority were in fayor of rule under the Czar rather than having the present regime of the Bolos.‘‘ The soldiers of these two brigades were given 10 days leave in England upon their arrival in Ripon Camp and as I said before, expect to sail for home next week.
