Blyth, t
y July -lt. (London Adver
tieer report). -Jame. McCracken,
whose wife was killed by a bullet
from a revolver in hie bands Sunday
night, was committed for trial on a
charge of murder by Magistrate W.
J. Milne here tonight. Hie case will

sizes.
The inquest into the death of Mn.
McCracken Was held this afternoon,
the jury finding that ,'Deceased came
to her death on July 32 by a bullet
wound in the head, fired from a pistol
in the hands of her husband."
Immediately after the inquest Mc-
Cracken was brought before the
magistrate on information laid by
Constable Thomas Gundry.His law-
yer, Richard Vanstone, oW ingham,
agreed to accept the evidence given at
the inquest and the magistrate ac-
cordingly committed the prisoner for
trial.
The cruse evoked great interest
throughout the country, and the
courtroom was crowded to the doors,
The Postmortem.
Dr. F. P. Bryans, of leru*sels, was
the fleet witness celled. The post-
mortem examination, he said, showed
that death was caused by a bullet
wound below the lobe of the left ear.
The bullet went straight in, lodging
at the top of the spinal column. There
were no marks of violence on the
body. The flesh around the wound
was burned bywder.
Dr. McRae, of Brussels, corroborated
this evldenre,
Jame. Mc('racken was the next wit-
ness. His evidence was similar to his
statement made to The Advertiser.
He had been married six years ago, in
March, at Brussels, when he met the
woman, whom he had known since
January, there by accident. She re-
turned to her home in Manitoba the
day after the marriage. Later ar-
rangement* were made for her return,

Pte. John H. Bates
Died of wounds at the battlefront in France, July 1704.
The sad news has just been received at noon today (Yhuratlay) of the
death of Pte. John H. Bates, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Bates, Huron
road. On Friday last his father received official notification that he was
dangerously wounded, and today's.telegramtls�that he died at No. 7
casualty clearing station July lith, of gtinshof alae in the leg.
John enlisted is the winter of 1910 with the Huron Geist) Battalion,
and after training in Goderich and at London and Camp Borden he went
oversees with the Battalion, landing in Rnglrtnd in the month ofi4ovent)4r.
After a short time there he was drafted with others of the "Hurons" to
France, where he had since been on active duty. He was a fine strapping
young fellow, and had not yet completed his twenty-first year. He was a
printer, having learned his trade with The Signal and working in this office
up to the time of his enlistment. He was one of the most lovable of boys,
with the cheeriest of dispositions, and no doubt met his last enemy with
smiling face and untroubled eyes. He was devoted to hit father and
mother and his death is a great blow to them: In -the svmpAthy which
goes to the parents from all, understanding hearts, John's former comrades
in this office join with especial feeling. To eloderich'a Roll of Honor must
be added the name of another hero whose life has gone out in defence of
honor and right.
in August and requested payment o
the annual fee of $15. Referred to
special committee.
Attention was directed to certain
trees on St. David's and Newgate
streets that are in a dangernlls condi-
tine, end the chairmen of the public
works and harbor committees were
authorized to deal with them.
Mr. J. A. Fowler, secretary of the
Goderich industrJial and Agricultural
Exhibition, wrdle stating that the
poultrehouse at the fair grounds was
in such a dilapidated condition that
the poultrymen refused to place their
stock in it. The poultivyruen, how-
ever, were ready to tear down and
rebuild thebouse if the council would
supply the material. The matter was
referred to the public works commit-
tee.
The following rept rte of committees
were received and adopted :
The public works committee re-
ported the purchase of a two -horse
mower for $57.
The special committee recommended
that the letter of June 25th frons the
council of the city of Peterboro' with
reference to Government grants to
railways and the letter of June `Lith
from the Workmen's Compensation
Board with reference to medical aid in
ease of accident be filed ; that the
letter of June 8:.h from the Ontario
Municipal Electric Association (re-
garding Hydro matters) he referred to
the water and Tight commission ; that
the license of Joseph Bowman to
peddle coal -oil and gasoline be can-
celled from May 28th and be he al-
lowed a rebate of tis as settlement in
full ; in the matter of the letter of
July 5th from the National Shipbuild-
ing Oo., asking fora loan of certain
machines from the Wheel Rigs plant
that in the meantime these machines
be rented to the National Shipbuilding
Co. until prices are ohtaioed and that
then these machine* together with
machines at the Goderich Organ Co.,
the Paget Grain Door Co. and the
Dominion Road Machinery Co. plants
he purchased by these companies or
returned.
The finance committee passed a
number of accounts and recommended
that the payment of $67 for the two -
horse mower purchased by the public
works department be taken out of the
aecrtted Interest of the Cherie' Blake
fund. The committee reported that
the Ore insttrance policies on the
Manta of the Goderich Organ Co. and
the (4ederich Mfg. 0o.,' had been re-
newed, the town now holding $11,000
insrrratree en the -organ factory and
f writing to Ibenm or sending parcels
they must be addreieedeither "Battal-
ion" or "Battery," Many people have
got into the habit of siruply writing
"Batt." and failing to spell the word
out to its full length. This to a cer-
tain extent ahcrtens the address and
taker up less space, but it is impossible
for the postal authorities to determine
iwhether the letter is addressed to a
battalion or a battery.
