Bold Thieving.
Some time- between last Thursday
night and Friday morning, Mr. Wes
Snell,who residessouth of Exeter about
two miles, was-roti.aed from his slumber
by the usual putheh in the ribs from
his wife, who had been awakened
by the savage barking of the
dog. Mr. Snell hastily dressed, and
before going out slipped a revolver in
his pocket. He made his way towards
the barn and before getting there he
saw a man to whom he called out.
"What are you doing there" and with-
out replying the man came towards
him. Mr. Snell again called out "who
are you and what do you want ?" Still
the man came towards , him without
uttering a word. Mr. Snell then said,
"I am armed and if you come any
nearer I'll shoot" and with this he dis-
charged his revolver. This had the ef-
fect of scaring the bold thief, who ran
to the road, accompanied by another
who Was stationed in the orchard just
opposite the house. These two jumped
into a rig and were rapidly driven
away by the third who was holding
the team. In the morning Mr. Snell
found that one hog had been taken
from the slaughter house, and had been
carried to a Cross fence, .'Mr. Snell had
been slaughtering and dressing quite
a number of pigs for the London mar-
ket. The thieves were evidently af-
ter thiel pork.

to the Exeter station and blew open
the large safe. Apparently the deed
was done by two men who had driven
there in a buggy. The entrance was
made at the west window having pried

Sent Rim Flying.
Drumbo, Ont., Jan, 11.—A serious
accident occurred near here this morn-
ing. As the eastbound passenger train
on the B. and L. H. devision of the G.
T. R., which is due to arrive here at
9.42, was within one mile of here one of
the shafts which connect the two large
drive wheels on the engine broke while
the train was under full speed, The
driver at once reversed the engine and
applied the air brakes but before the
train was brought to a stop the flying
shaft was playing havoc with the cab,
and in some mysterious way the driver
named West, was struck and knocked
through the window of the cab, and
landed upon his face on the embank-
ment. At first it was thought he was
seriously injured, but Dr. Pentland was
called, and after an examination, found
that the knee of the right leg was dis-
located and the bone fractured. After
Dr. Pentland had done all that could
be done for the unfortunate man he
was sent back to his home in Stratford
on the return train, accompanied by
the doctor. The last report was that
he was doing as well as could be ex
peetod.

PARLOR,"
SAID THE SPIDER TO THE FLY:y
Is very appropriate to some of the advertisements
we read. We may tell you straight and just here
that we have no cobwebs. If we wanted to lie, we
would tell you that we were selling goods at half
price, fifty per cent off for cash. Oceassionally this
is done with a special article,—as a job lot of sam-
ples, or remnants; but, generally when you see such
statements, you can set it down as a strain-
ing of the conscienceorjugglingwith thetruth. We
don't wonder at the Patrons of Industry boycotting
the storekeepers, after reading such trash. You
may depend when a merchant sells an article at or
below cost, he is bound to make it up on another.
They are not there to do business for nothing.
