It was after a dance on November 19 that accused's car disap- peared. He was told Farquharson had been seen entering the car and later accosted the youtb, who denied having had anything to do with It. Words passed freely and, said Kirby, "1 planted him one.

Wray, who has returned from his trap line at Venetian Lake, southwest of Laforeat. "Never before have I seen so much water in the bush at this time of year," said Mr. Wray. "All the takes are at high water mark, rivers are swollen and creeks flooded." It was impossible to trap mink, be said, for the creeks were so swollen traps could not be set on the banks. He stayed at his trap line two weeks in the hope the rains trouid stop, but finally returned to civilization until the freeze-up. Other trappers in the district came out too, he said. On his return Mr. Wray ran across a sixty -year-old man to an old lumber camp sixteen miles west of here who said he had hiked•aii the way from the Pacific Coast since last June. a was on his way to Goderich, whee had relatives he hoped would care for him.
