YOUNG EAGLES
ARE" CAPTURED
NEAR GODERICH
Male Bird Battles Until Hit on Head
With Club
A rare capture—two young eagles
--was made Friday by Dave Cantwell
and George Rutledge on the .Henry
Cartf farm, near Nile, eight miles
northeast of Goderich.
While picking berries in a swamp,
the young men were attracted by a
hissing sound. They looked around
to see the two big, black "birds perch
ed on a stump, five feet high.
The female bird was easily captur
ed, but the male, with a white crest
atop its head, showed fight. It pecked
and clawed viciously at Rutledge, but
he hit it over the head with a stout
club. The blow, he said, ought to
have felled a big gobbler, but the ea
gle soon revided. Cantwell and Rut
ledge, proud of their capture, brought
their prizes in a crate to Goderich to
show the folks what eagles look like,
and a crowd soon gathered. The male
bird measured five feet, wings spread,
and the female, four and a half feet.

Mr. C. R. Wilkinson Gave Hitch-Hik
ing Boys Ride.
Ctyie Boy Badly Injured — No Blame
Attached to Driver.
Given a lift by a motorist whose
car was later ditched on the Zurich
road, Harry Maxim, age 21, of 82
Aubin street, Windsor, was brought
in critical condition to Victoria Hos
pital,. London, at noon Sunday.
He is suffering from a fractured
skull and injuries to one wrist. His
hitch-hiking companion, Jack Ward,
also of Windsor, suffered a bad lac
eration to the forehead but he was
later able to proceed to his home.
The two youths had been hitch-hik
ing their way to their homes. At
Clinton they were picked up by Char
les R. Wilkinson, of town, who was
driving to Ipperwash Beach. Maxim
rode with Mr. Wilkinson in the front
seat and Ward in the back seat.
Just as the motorist made the turn
onto the Grand Bend road from the
Zurich Road the car swerved and ran
75 feet along the shoulder of the road
to bounce over the cement end of a
culvert. Although the car remained
upright the right front door flew open
and Maxim was thrown forward into
the windshield, then fell out of the
car. Mr. Wilkinson was tumbled out
on top of Maxim as the car took an
other lurch. Ward was thrown
against the side of the car but re
mained within. The driver was only
shaken up.
Dr. McKinnon, of Zurich, attended
the two injured and ordered Maxim’s
removal to the London Hospital.
The accident was investigated by
Traffic Officer Norman Lever, Clin
ton, who placed no blame on the
Wingham man.

and carried a bouquet of Johanna Hill
roses and lily-of-the-valley. Mrs. W.
W. Currie played the wedding music.

ghter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Holloway,

grey suit with navy accessories. The
bridesmaid was Miss Mary Elizabeth

John Criukshanks. Mr. and Mrs.
Douglas will reside in Wingham.
Sale of Coco Mats
A large shipment just received at
Isard’s, comprising three sizes, now-
on sale at 29, 39, 49c. These are
greatly reduced prices, every one a
bargain.
Return from C.G.I.T. Camp
The girls who have been at the C.
G. I. T. camp for the past ten days
are returning home to-day. The camp
was held near Goderich. The girls
who attended were: Verne Walker,
Isobcl Habkirk, Mary Crttiksh’ank,
Edith Fields, Evelyn Edgar and Vel
ma Ohms.
Lucknow Woman Injured
While driving towards Lucknow,
Mr. and Mrs. Howard Angew of
Lucknow, and Mrs. Agnew’s mother,
Mrs. McCullough, met with an ac
cident. To avoid collision with a truck
Mt, Agnew put on the brakes and
the sudden stop threw Mrs. McCul
lough against the side of the ear, She
received injuries about the head, a
cut requiring three stitches, Mr, ahd
Mrs. Agnew escaped without injury.
Bail of $100,000 each was demand
ed and fixed on Thursday after
noon for the liberation of Gordon
G. MacLaren and Robert S. Fletch
er, Toronto brokers, charged with
stealing, receiving and retaining $94,-
000 in securities, the property of some
30 clients of John J. Huggard, Sea
forth lawyer. The prisoners were re
turned to jail.
Defense Counsel R. C. Hays and
F. R. Darrow said the bail required
was preposterous. Mr. Hays said I.
C. Solloway, another Toronto broker,
facing charges, was at present out on
$50,000 and a much larger sum was
involved.
D. E. Holmes, crown counsel, re
plied that present charges covered on
ly’the years 1934-35-36. He anticipat
ed that investigation, now proceeding,
into operation in 1931-32 33 would
add many thousands to the $94,000.
“To ask $100,000 bail is like sen
tencing a man to jail,” spoke up F.
R. Darrow, for Fletcher. “I think
Solloway is out on $40,000 bail.”
“This case is in an entirely dif
ferent category to the Solloway case,”
shot back the crown attorney.
Magistrate Makins said he would
be guided by the crown attorney. In
view of the investigation'1 now pro
ceeding, there was a reason for the
high figure.
