es in length and three and one-quarter
inches in diameter. *r

at the mill where it is a curiosity in
the office. Former members of the
Royal Canadian Artillery, say it is a
25-pounder shell, used
wars.
It is the intention to
over to police as it is
there is a fuse in the head or not.
Badly corroded, Mr. Sexton said he
had noticed the shell there previously,
but as it was partly buried he hjad
taken it for a small roller of some
kind and had left it alone.
There has been no satisfactory
answer as to how the shell happened

siderable conjecture as to whether it
is "defused.”
