D. J. TAYLOR, M. P. P Tht _ ‘As the tillsy were searched in . all places ‘it was evidently cash they deâ€" sired. From the burglars viewpoint, the night‘s office breaking was a misâ€" erable failure. The railways . also have had investigators.© on ‘hand and it is hoped the culprits may be dis | covered and brought to justice. At the Post Office the burglars atâ€" tempted to pry up a rear window, but not succeeding they pried open,. the mail door at rear, then the door leadâ€" ing into main office. Here they rifled the till but finding it empty except for coppers. left them there. They handâ€" led a few letters. tore open one and carried _ away | some . unnegotiable checks, and also ransacked the Postâ€" master‘s desk. _ They stole a small amount belonging to Mr Smith, but the office itsel{ suffered no loss. A one dollar bill lying on counter was overlooked. Two inspectors from the Post Office Dept., were on hand from Toronto Tuesday afternoon investigaâ€" ting the affair. and found nothing missing. At C.N.R. station the waiting p}ying up a window. Here they got for theirâ€"efforts $2 in change, left in the till. but nothing else: â€"At the C. P.

The Counâ€" cil unanimously passed a grant of $75 which was agreeable to the, Brigade. With the big fire and the elections now relegated into history, some darâ€" ing individuals attempted to continue the excitement in town by staging three burglaries in the early. hours of Tuesday _ morning. The C.N.R., C.P.R. stations and Post Office were all broken into but the identity of the culprits and the order of their visit is a mystery. â€" They got away with very little and that they failed to blow open safes, makes it improbable they were professionals. Accounts â€" were passed | totalling $920.66, which included 368. for meals at restaurant to firemen from other towns and local men, the morning of the big fife. mt 4 4 A further. payment on‘ main street paving was authorized â€"to Standard Paving Co.

Mrs Farewell reâ€" cites the various phases in Mary‘s career, depicting her childhood days in ‘Normandy, her brilliant courtier life and marriage in France, down to her prison career and death. The cosâ€" tumes are especially brilliant and fine and represent those in vogue in the 16th century. The Walkerton Herald Times comâ€" ments in the play given in Walkerton in the following manner ; ‘"No better entertainment has probâ€" ably ever been seen in Walkerton, than that staged ‘by local talent unâ€" der the direction of Mrs (Pr) Fareâ€" well, when the beautiful Elizabethâ€" ean pageant, ‘Mary Queen of Scots‘, was exhibited from the footlights to two large dnd â€" highly appreciative audiences. Many took advantage to see it the two nights and is demonâ€" strative of a hit that has never been excelled in local theatre circles." The pageant throughout is based on historic facts and should be used as an encouragement to children in the study of that period of British and ScottisN history.
