MITCHELL, Aug. 3.—Leslie Mahnf- fy, son of Mr. Gibson Mahaffy, lot 29, concession 4, of llihbert, was found hanging in his father's barn on Satur- day morning. The body was discov- ered by two younger brothers of the young man, who entered the barn early on Saturday morning. He was then quite dead. The young Ulan was 23 years and eight months old, and has been work- ing for a neighbor, Mr. W. T. Wood, who lives about two miles away. It was his custom to wheel to and from bis work. On Saturday morning he got up as usual and the fancily thought be had gone to his work. The father, on entering the stable, was surprised to see his son's wheel there. but find. ing the tires soft thunght he had left it behind and walked to his work. A few minutes later the body was dile covet t'd hanging from a beam. No cause can be assigned for the rash deed. Young Mabaffy was of a quiet disposition and highly respected by all who knew him. Much sympa- thy is expressed for the bereaved par- ents and sorrowing family. Big Fire in West.

Lord Roberts has been forced to abandon his trip to Toronto, Niagara Falls and Banff, owing to a threatened attack of appendicitis.

This well known company has engaged the services of Louis Clark, a first-class, experienced hand as their manager and to him all should apply. for the use of the machine.

The Connell learning of the offer has refrained from banding over the $500 recently voted the company by the ratepayers. However, had the money been paid over the town is se- cure in the matter as the by -haw and agreement have been registered and we believe act the same as a inort- gage on the property. The sale is said to be due to the executors of the late Mr. Gibb being anxious to wind up the estate.
