The re- DROWNING VICTIM’S SKULL RECOVERED BY GRAND BEND FISHERMEN unidentified recovered in Bend fisher- Huron, eight Kettle Point on The skull evi- the water many of the jaw bone being The skull of an drowning victim was the gill nets of Grand men working in Lake miles northwest of Tuesday afternoon, dently had been in months as a section fell off as it was from the net. The discovery was made tor Gill who with his two Stanley and Eldon, were lifting nets, at the time. Returning to the men notified Provincial stable P. E. McCoy, at Goderich, who in turn instructed Coroner W. E. Weekes, M.D., of Exeter, to take charge of the discovery. Dr. Weekes has taken the skull to the Institute of Public Health, Lon don, in an effort to determine the type, in a possible effort to learn the identity of the drowned person. In this connection it is recalled three London men were drowned in Lake Huron, off Kettle Point some years ago when a boat capsized dur ing a storm. Mrs. Thornton Mustard, was one of the passengers aboard the rescue ship, City of Flint, when it docked at Halifax recently. No word has been received of Mr. Mustard, a na tive of Brucefield, who was last .seen when he waved good-bye to his Wife from the deck of the torpedoed boat “Athenia” after he had given his place in the life-boat to a woman, -Mr. Mustard, aged 53, was Principal of the Toronto Normal School. The unofficial list of the survivors of the “Athenia” gave the names of both. They had been visiting with their son Dr. Donald Mustard, who ing in Birmingham. A report from Halifax party landed stated that tard, hatless and coatless, ing the light silk dress in was attired when the vessel was tor pedoed by a German submarine 12 days ago. She was met by her sons, Neil and Charles, a daughter, Mrs. .Frank Burch, and other immediate relatives. Dr. William Mustard, an other son, met her at Montreal. Through her brother-in-law, Rev. C. A. Mustard, Mrs. Mustard told newspapermen that the crash of the torpedo brought the passengers to the deck of the liner and that she herself saw the periscope of the sub marine not far away and heard roar of two shells as it fired on sinking vessel. “My husband helped me into boat and then went back to get a steamer rug,”'she said. “He gave me the rug and stepped back to let some woman get in. I shouted for him to get in, but the boat was full, and he stood back. The boat swung away down the side of the ship, and I kept shouting to him to come. And that was the last I saw of him, standing on the deck.” In a girls’ game of softball be tween Benmiller and Exeter score was 21 for Exeter and 8 for Benmiller. In the second half of the first innings the Exeter girls pil ed up the big score of 12 runs. It looked as though the locals were going to have a complete rout but the visitors settled down and the rest of the game was more evenly divided, winning batters, pitcher, lief pitcher for Benmiller, Norma Fisher, in pitching two innings had foui* strike-outs but the last innings.

Morkin, of Lucan for non-delivery of 1000 bushels of beans to one of the milling companies in Hensall. This case was settled out of court on Tuesday with Mr. Morkin agreeing to deliver the beans to the milling company as per contract With them. Other writs are pending. The bean dealers of Hensall are taking a firm stand to see that their contracts are fulfilled accordingly. The three bean dealers in question have sold a large quantity of beans to H. J. Heinz Co., of Pittsburg and other exporters, of September and October delivery, foi* export to England, at a price of approximately $1.20 per bushel f.o.b. cars Hensall for one lb. pickers. These beans have to be picked and bagged in 2 bushel new jute bags, the bags alone costing the dealer approximately 10c per bushel, which leaves 10c per bushel for handling and picking the beans, which is a very small margin for this work.
