manner other than the conventional
way of buying and paying for it, is
liable to come rather high, In pass
ing the farm of Ira D, Dahms of the
6th concession of Carrick, one day
last week, it is alleged that he ran
over one member of Mr. Dahms’ big
family of turkeys, and instead of no
tifying the owner of the affair, he
scooped the bird up, and made off
with it in his car. Mr. Dahms, hear
ing the commotion, got into his car
and set out in pursuit. He overtook
the Howick car, and after a somewhat
heated conversation, he laid a com
plaint to the local constable. Mr. Ball
was summoned to appear in the Ma
gistrate’s court at Walkerton where
he was convicted of theft, but was
let off on suspended sentence. Mr.
Ball was assessed with the costs, am
ounting to $29.75. We learn that he
will be further charged with carrying
a loaded gun in his car. — Mildmay
