THE WEATHER re- re- the EXETER COUNCIL A regular meeting of council was held in the Town Hall on Tuesday i evening with all members present. Reeve B. M. Francis in the chair. . The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed, Communications were read: The following memorial to Federal Government from the town of Clinton was read and unanimous­ ly endorsed: Whereas the prices of many com­ modities have dropped to record low levels. j Whereas the condition of industry i is such that many people are without I work, thereby reducing the purchas- j ing power of the worker to a mini- mum.| Whereas many municipalities are being heavily taxed to take care ot the unemployed. Whereas the price of coal has not dropped in comparison with the price of - other commodities. We believe there must be some organization sponsible for the price of coal maining at its high level. We appreciate the action of, Government to appoint a Commis­ sion to investigate consumer coal prices, and would ask that the Gov­ ernment insist on a full and complete investigation into the workings of the coal dealers associations as it is most imperative that fuel costs be reduced to the wage earner.

He was Dr. Fletcher’s hospital wounds were dressed. On Friday morning Rivers was at the slaughter house and he noticed several rabbits. On returning home he told his father that if he wanted some fun to take the gun and go after the rabbits., Mr. Rivers and Mr. Jos. Sutton started out shortly afterwards and cliild’s when near the place they separated thinking that one might drive the ^auk Creech" aniTv^Berdux" rabbits toward -the other, a cotton-1 tail pppped out in front of Mr. Riv-1 ------------------------ ers and he took a shot and it rolled over. Shortly afterwards he came , FORMER BIDDULPH upon fresh tracks and started tc] follow them. Crossing a couple of; fields and thinking a rabbit might' pop out at any minute Mr. Rivers cocked the gun. On the property of Mr. Fred Bawden he came to a fence that was not very high but which had a barbed wire across the top Placing the gun across the fence close to a post he climbed the fence ’ and in doing so caught his trousers in the barbed wire. While in the act of trying to free himself from the wire he forgot the gun for a moment and must have placed his hand over the muzzle and in some manner dis­ charged it. Thinking that Mr. Sut­ ton, who was close by, had fired the shot he looked up and it was not until he looked back and saw his hand bleeding aand shattered with the two fingers hanging by shreds that he realized that he with an accident. He did any pain when struck as numbed from the effects, ton hurried to the scene the wrist tightly with a chief to stop the flow of blood.

When he first went out with the others oh a rabbit hunt he went because he enjoyed the outing and did not car­ ry a gunjjut afterwards he learned to enjoy hunting but always took the utmost precaution to guard against possible accident.
