Terrible Crime in Dufferin. With the startling words, "I have laid out three men," George Stewart appeared before his father at his home near Maple Valley on Sunday afternoon. The father was surprised to see him, for the son was supposed to be under surveillance at the home of his brother, William Stewart, three miles away, it being known for the last couple of years that he was not mentally balan- ced. The appearance of George was enough to startle anyone. He was hat- less and bootless, and wore only one Book, and appeared considerably agitated. His father, who alone oan oontrol him when be is worked up, gradually quieted him, and got him, off to sleep, from which he was awakened to be charged with the murder of John and James Spanhonse, two of his neigh- bors, and the wounding of four other persons. Stewart appeared before Police Magistrate Rutherford, and as there was no person present to represent the prisoner, he was remanded to Orangeville Jail. $80,000 In spite of the hard times, the above amount of property has been Bold through our agency in the past few months, which is an evidence that Ontario Real Estate has a sound substantial vaine There is no disguising the fact however that the West still has at- tractions for teeny, and farms are being listed with us almost every day, because the owners desire to try their fortunes on the prairies.
