DEATH OF PAUL COATES
Mr. Paul Coates, a life-long resi
dent of this community died Sunday
at the age of 69 years and 3 months.
Mr. Coates had been ailing for sev
eral months and death came as a
happy release to his sufferings. He
Was born in Usborne Township on
the homestead farm on the St. Marys
road now occupied by Mr. Whitney
Coates. In 1918 he retired from the
farm and moved to Exeter. The de
ceased was a son of the late Thomas
and Mrs. Coates. The former for
many years was treasurer of the

was succeeded by his son Paul and
between them they occupied the po
sition for fifty years less six months.
The latter resighed the position a
couple of years after moving to Ex
eter. Mr. Coates was a member of
the official board of the James St.
United Church and was a man well
known and highly esteemed. For a
number of years he served as a mem
ber of the Public Utilities Commis
sion and for a time was chairman.

About two o’clock Wednesday
morning while Mr. E. R, Guenther
of the Guenther Transport, Dash
wood, was on his way home from
Toronto and had stopped at Mit
chell to deliver some goods at the
Edighoffer store, he came across a
burglar in the store and after a live
ly chase the robber was captured
and placed under arrest. Mr. Guen
ther had entered the store with a
kep he possessed for the purpose of
I delivering some goods he had
Drought from' Toronto. The store
is a double building and Mr. Guen
ther thought he heard someone stir
and on investigation
a would-be robber,
made a dash for the
Mr. Guenther closely
the robber reached the top of the
stairs he quickly closed a trap-door
just in time to prevent capture. Mr.
•Guenthei’ summoned his two men,
Elmer Zimmei’ and Ervine Guenther
and placed them on guard at the
front and rear of the store and then
summoned the police. While doing
this the robber had climbed to the
roof of the building and after tra
velling over several roofs drop
ped about thirty feet to the" ground.
As he did so he was discovered by
Mr. Ervine Guenther who gave chase
and after going down an alley and
travelling about four, blocks he suc
ceeded in capturing his man and
bringing him back to the store where
by this time the nightwatch had ar
rived who placed the man under ar
rest. The man was a stranger who
refused to tell his name but a let
ter was found on him with a Kit
chener address. He was taken, to
Stratford and locked up. On the se
cond floor of the building was found
a large butcher knife which the
robber had picked up in the grocery
department in the store. The till
had been rifled and several articles
gathered up. The apprehension of
the burglar was a daring piece of
work and much credit is due
Guenther and his m'en.

JOHNS BROS. WIN CASE
Seek return of $950 paid on Tractor
A trial was recently held in Sarnia
between seven Johns brothers, of
Usborne Township and the John
Goodison Thresher Company, of
Sarnia, in which the plaintiffs
sought the return of $950 which
they contended they had paid too
much for a tractor which the Good
ison Company imported from the'
United States for them. The com
pany contended that the difference
was absorbed in customs duty while
the plaintiffs contended that on
tractors used exclusively for farm
purposes, no customs duty need be
paid. The tractor was bought from
the Goodison Company in 1926.
The trial yvas held in Sarnia early
in December but at that time the
judge reserved his decision and re
cently gave it in favor of the Johns'
brothers. The case was regarded in
the light of a test case as several
other purchasers of tractors were
interested in the decision.
