An Indian youth who stole the bic

who remembered having seen the
two Indian lads riding into Exeter

ed that another wheel had been stol

BRANDING EPISODE
Several Exeter lads have attract
ed considerable publicity through
some boyish pranks that were play
ed at the bank of the river near the
old swimming hole, a half mile east of town. ’ The leading daily news
papers of the province have contain
ed vivid accounts of the affair and
the pictures of the lads have appear
ed in several papers. The news was
also broadcast over the radio, It1 seems that on Saturday afternoon
the lads had gone .swimming and a
tire had been kindled on the bank,
and a piece of iron u^ed for toast
ing marshmallows and weiners had be'pn heated and the lads were fool
ing with it. One of the lads sug-i
gested that the last one into the)
water be branded. The lad making i
the suggestion was the last in and
the first to be branded. The lad. stcod while another lad touched'’
him with the hot iron. Five of the
lads in turn were touched with the
iron leaving red marks and in a
couple of cases blisters were raised.
The lads all returned from the
swimming pool together. One of
the lad.s suggested that they got the
idea from seeing a cowboy branded
on the chest in a picture show the
week before. Several rumors were
-Tread In connection with the affair.
The lads who have thus gained such
publicity are Bartie Motz, aged 11;
Ray Weido, aged 10; David Gordon,
10; Bruce Gordon 9, Alex Ellis, 8;
Harry Ellis, who prefers to be call
ed “Hank” age 6 and Peter who will
be five next month. The last five
were branded and the most promin
ent brand was that on the thigh of
Alex Ellis it being in the shape of
the first part of the letter “W.” Mrs. Ell’s states that she does not
think there will be any permanent
scar and that the city papers have
made a fuss all out of proportion to
the incident.
