BRUCE CO. TO OWE FOUR
THOUSAND A MONTH.
Council. Quadruples Former Grant —
Reeve Joynt's Splendid Lead.
(From The Globe of Sept. 4th.)
Walkerton, Sept. 9.—Bruce County
Council at a special meeting here to•
day unanimously granted $4,000 per
month for patriotic purposes as long
as the war lasts, thus increasing its
previous grant of $1,000 by 800 per
cent. A strong deputation from all
parte of the county waited upon the
0the
Council in support of grant.
To -day's meeting was the result of
the work of a special committee ap-
pointed less than a month ago to
further patriotic work throughout the
county, of which David Robertson, K.
C., and George D. MacKay were the
untiring Chairman and Secretary.
A feature of the meeting was the
statement of Reeve John Jeynt of
Lucknow that he had decided to give
voluntarily $1,000 per year to the
Canadian Patriotic Fund as long as
the war lasts. Great enthusiasm pre-
vailed, and it is expected that addi-
tional voluntary contributions
throughout the county will bring
Bruce county contributions up to its
full proportion of the burden imposed
by the war. As a number of the
members of the Council represent a
large German-speaking element the
unanimous vote of the Council was
particularly gratifying.
N. C. Rean, the Organizing Secre-
tary of the Canadian Patriotic Fund,
addressed the Council on behalf of
support for the women and children
of our soldiers who are fighting our
battles.

ORANGEVILLE LACROSVE
Great Lacrosse Struggle in Orangeville
on Friday.
About one hundred and fifty Wing-
hamites accompanied the team by
special train to Orangeville on Friday.
The day was perfect and a record
crowd witnessed the game, Wings
ham loot to Orangeville by a score of
8.11 and the play was very fast and
exciting, both teams being confident
of winning. Although our boys lost
they may well be proud of their sea-
son's success. The game at Orange-
ville has been protested on the grounds
that one of the fouFergus men,
(Chapman) who played on the Or-
angeville team has been playing both
junior and senior lacrosse this season,
a thing which 0. A. L. A. rules strict-
ly prohibit. Booth the Duffer tn s goal
tender is possibly accountable for
Wingham not winning, for like the
Wingham game he stopped a good
many shots.
Orangeville scored the first two
goals, but the Huron Oaks got busy
and the end of the firer quarter result
ed in a tie 3-3. •Iu the next quarter
Booth was penalized for deliberately
striking down Ted Elliott, making a
nasty cut in his head. This apparent-
ly put a atop to the Huron Oaks fast
play and Orangeville scored four goals
to Wingham's none, However the
Hurons picked up and pushed the ball
in their opponents net three times,
while they succeded in getting two in
the Wingham net. In the final quar-
ter the teams scored alternate goals,

BARN LOST IN STORM
On Thursday morning of last week,
a little after 1 o'clock, Wingham and
vicinity underwent the greatest elec-
trical storm that has been known for
years. The downpour of rain was so
groat that the streets were like rivers,
being incapable of carrying off the
water fast enough,.aud for a time the
town was a flooded district. Large
numbers of the inhabitants forsook
their beds and for several hours there
was considerable confusion. The sky
was lit up from fires in several direc-
tions. It was about this time that
Cornyn Currie's barn was struck and
burnt to the ground.
