The truck took to the ditch and turned up-side- down with six wheels in the air The cab was badly damaged and Mr. Campbell fortunately was able to crawl through a broken window suf­ fering only from a few bruises and a shaking up. The windshield was Ibadly shattered and nearly every piece of wood in the cab broken. The rack on the trailer was smash­ ed but only a few bags of feed were destroyed. The truck is now being repaired in London. RETURNS FROM ENGLAND Mr. Harry Hoffman, of Dashwood, who went to England with the Can­ adian singers to spig at tihe Corona­ tion choir, returned home Sunday delighted with the wonderful op­ portunity that has-been his. Fox’ the rest of his time he will be able to look back upon tihis as one of the outstanding events in his career. As a member of the choir cxf 400 voices from all parts of the Empire Harry was a|ble to witness the crowning of King George VI and to view from a point of advantage the indescribable color and pageantry of robes and jewels attendant at that great cere­ mony. He had a splendid voyage over but was not quite so fortun­ ate on his return because of storm, fog and iceburgs which delayed the voyage somewhat. One of the out­ standing sights of old London was the elaborate decorations by Sel­ fridge’s great departmental store. On the daj" of the Coronation one of Harry’s chief concerns was whether or not he would reach Westminster A.b|bey in time to lje admitted after having travelled ^busands of miles to be present. Armed with a big red pass he lraeded for the Abbey but be­ cause of the immense throng pro­ gress was slow and he arrved at the Abbey only five minutes before the proper time. The rehearsals of the Ibig choir and the broadcasts were outstanding events. Every hospit­ ality was accorded the Canadians and a very enjoyable day they spent as guests of .Lord and Lady Astor. Days were spent in seeing the sights of Old London and before returning home Harry flew from Croydon Air­ port to Paris where he spent a most enjoyalble holiday viewing the impor­ tant points of that great city. He paid a visit to Varsailles where the peace treaty f# the Great War was signed.

Fletcher for a gash on the leg suffered at dismissal time as the reult of a youthful prank. A sharp lead pen­ cil was held upright by a compan­ ion who invited .him to sit down. First aid was given at the school before the boy was taken to the physician’s office, & PLOT TO SLUG FARMER ALLEGED A despatch to the daily papers from Goderich dated June 5th has reference to a young man who came to Exeter several months ago as an assistant for a local undertaker. The lad first got into trouble a few weeks ago when (he purchased an auto from a local car* dealer with the story that at the age of 21 he was to become heir to a legacy. Later he gave a cheque on his home bank and when the cheque was returned with the notation “no funds” the car was reclaimed and the lad was sent back home. Rumor was circulated at the time that the lad had planned a ro|bibery. IThe report to the daily press Saturday is as follows: “What is believed to have been a well-planned plot to rob and slug John R. Ogden, wealthy Middlesex county farmer, was nipped in the bud by provincial police with the arrest at Woodstock yesterday of R. Swartz 21, Exeter undertaker’s assistant. T'he plot was also to burn down Og­ den’s home and barn after the rob­ bery. iSwartz is Charged that he coun­ selled three Exeter young men to committ arson, breaking and entering and theft at the premises of Mr. Ogden, who lives on the boun­ dary of Biddulph Township, Middle­ sex county and Usborne Township in Huron County. Provincial Constable McCoy brought Swartz to Goderich .from Woodstock late last night. Accused appeared before Justice of the Peace Weir and was remanded to jail until Thursday. The charge is without precedent in the annals of criminal justice in this county. Police seized a “black jack’ the instrument with which the slugging was allegedly, to be committed.” Mr. J. W. Morley, solicitor for Mr. Ogden states that Mr. Odgen does not keep any secruities or val- "uables in his home. The men whose names are men­ tioned in the .report in t'he daily papers wish it understood that they never associated with (Swartz and ■when approached they gave him no encouragement.
