The boys left town quietly on Tuesday of last week and as they are considered material witnesses the detectives lived some anxious moments until the boys were discovered at Hagereville. They were asked to re- turn to Goderich in time for the in- quest but refused to do so, and a warrant has been issued by Coroner Dr. Holmes to bring them by force unless they decide to return voluntari- ly. When the sitting opened last Friday in the Town Hall Crown Attorney Seeger explained -that an adjournment was necessary in order to secure the attendance of witnesses. Tuesday, the '25th lilt: at was set for the next hearing, the pro- tracted adjournment being unavoid- able owing to the absence of two jurymen from town in the interval. George Tate Blackstock, K. O. has been retained by the Attorneys- General's ttorneys General's Department to conduct the examination of witnesses and was on hand to proceed with theinveetigation. The authorities seem pretty well satisfied that they are in a fair way towards _clearing up the mystery.

The object of the suspicion is being closely watched, and will be apprehended, if he attempts to get away from Goderich. Morris Council met last Monday.
