To Do So Tn the Bruce County jail prisoners were put to a task of safe-cracking, under the supervision of Jailer Vic Bell. A huge vault weighing several tons, which had done duty in a coun­ ty building for years was relegated to the scrap heap when methods to force it open after the combiation was lost proved fruitless. Several prison­ ers were paraded to the courthouse. The safe was rolled outside and under pounding of sledge hammers the huge bulk soon became a wreck. The de­ bris was sold for scrap. Goderich Band Officials Resign Something of a bombshell dropped in Goderich municipal circles at a Town Council meeting when of­ ficers of the Goderich Musical Soc­ iety resigned in a body. The officers are E. K- Wigle, president; D. M. Campbell, secretary, and J. M. Rob­ erts .treasurer. They appeared in per­ son in support of a written resigna­ tion read in open council. Lack of public support and indifference of the bandsmen themselves was given as cause of the action. From his seat in council, Deputy Reeve J. E. Huck- ins, who is also band leader, rose to state that he, too, was prepared to resign “for the good of the organiza­ tion.” He said he now had too many irons in the fire to carry on. The signations were not accepted. was re- lias Misfortune Follows Walkerton Family The home of Norman Miller, had more than its share of misfor­ tune during the past few weeks, with no less than three of, the family being afflicted with illness.

Mrs. 'Miller, just after the little lad’s re­ turn to the family home, became ill with flu and pneumonia and was tak­ en to the Bruce County Hospital for treatment, and Eldon, 22-year-old son who had been assisting about home while the mother was ill contracted the same malady and likewise taken to the hospital." pensive serum was rushed from Tor­ onto for treatment and a favorable reaction to the injection has the young man on the road to recovery. the also was Ex- Another Large Land-Owner Mr. Walter Horsburgh last week purchased the 50-acre farm on the 11th concession of Howick, known as the Scott farm, and formerly owned by the late Jack Craig.

Robbers Flee When Knife Thrown Western Ontario was turned into an armed camp late Thursdy as police over a wide area sought two robbers who, both carrying revolvers, held up L. V. Deimage in his general store at Rothsay, six miles southeast of Palmerston. The bandits are those already sought for a hold-up in Dor­ chester, it is understood, as the car they used carried the same license number. In the raid on the store no loot was obtained by the gunmen. One shot was fired by the leader of the pair when Mr. Deimage bluffed! the men and then hurled, a large meat knife at the nearest thug. The shot went wide and the men immediately- fled. Police were called, at Palmers­ ton and a broadcast was sent to air­ police of Western Ontario to keep­ watch for the bandit car which head­ ed south from the small Wellington: County hamlet. Mr. Deimage and a friend, Lome Johnson, were sitting: in the store when the two men, tal£ and dark and with features and com­ plexions of Indians, entered. Immed­ iately the visitors drew guns and ad­ vanced on the pair demanding that they hand over what money they had. Mr. Delmagc manoeuvred to the counter, stalling for time, and con­ vinced the men that he had no cash in the store. In position to grab a-, knife from the counter, Mr. Deimage turned suddenly and threw it at the- man covering him. A shot was fired and the storekeeper did not know which of the bandit pair discharged the gun. Z'fe Lamps vice guaranteed of Six Wmgham Utilities Commission Phone 156.
