G. H. NIORRISON PALLED AWAY,—
Tlie Wapella (Sask.) Post gives the
following account of the demise of a
former well known resident of this
locality, in the person of Geo. H.
Morrison, who was a brother to Mrs..
R. H. Ferguson, of Walton and Mrs.
iJ. Moon, of Londesboro' :—Died at
his -home in Wapella, on Thursday,
July 11th, 1912, George Henry Morris-
on, aged 53 years, 8 months and 15
days. As the sad news was passed
throcgli our town last Thursday, the
excitement of the election was sub-
dued and a shadow of sorrow and
gloom came over our citizens, for
though the death of our honored and
esteemed friend was not unexpected it
was hard to realize that the curtain
had been drawn down on so useful
and popular a. citizen. It was sad
news indeed for those who had more
closely associated with him in the
business,: fraternal and social life of
our town and in these circles he will
be greatly missed. A man of excel
lent habits, flee moral character and
sunshiny disposition, he won the
love and esteem of all with whore he
came in contact. He never forgot
the hospitable ways of the.pioneer and -
was a man of generous impulses, giv-
ing freely his services and assistance
whenever the occasion offered. The
late Mr. Morrison was born in the
County of Leeds, Ontario. At the
age of 24, he answered the call of the
West and shouldered the burden and
resporisibility of pioneer life on the
prairie, locating on a homestead three
miles South of Wapella. In these
early days his true hospi-
table and generous spirit was first dis-
played for no stranger, even though a
beggar, failed to find food and' shelter
if he sought it at the Morrison Broth -

BOBBED OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP
a.
Under this very complimentary
heading the Walkerton Herald and y
Times of hast week fires the following
unkind shot eoncelning the Foot
Ball match played in that town last
week :—"After travelling to Brussels .'
on Friday last and trying the would-
be cupholder of that town in a score- >i
less game, Walkerton was doomed to i
see the championship dish virtually i
stolen from them near their own door
step here on Tuesday. The robbery
took place early in the first half of
the play and as the sun was still high
on the horizon there was suifietent
light to give the numerous spectators ',
a chance to peep ou the steal and see
that which would shock a field of
wheat. A Brussels forward hart
driven the ball toward the Walker-
ton goal, but Huether who was be-
tween the local flags met it and sent
it on its outward journey plunging
down the field, While 11 was still ,
breaking the speed limit getting away
a Brussels' man stopped the pigs hide
with his arm and fouled so openly
that the Walkerton defence field ryji,
ceased play and the spectators shoat -
ed "foul." As the whistle didn't blow
the fouler took advantage of the
cessation of play and drove tine ball
in. Not expecting that so brazen an
error would be counted, not much of
a clamor was made, and it was only ' 1
after the referee had faced the ball t I
oft that the crowd tumbled to the
real nature of the steal. The greases
that west up then sounded like 'a
trolley over a bridge, but the ,moans
that shook the trees didn't stop the
1 ame which went bliudiy on.. As
VVaikenton continued t0 press the
visitor's flags there was always hope f"
that one would enter anti offset . the '
steal. This hope was never realized '
in a way that counted, although
certain spectators claim that in catch-
ing the ball on one occasion the visit-
ing goal -keeper acbually drew the
sphere under the bar before getting
rid of it. The ,referee, Harry W.
Brawn of Berlin, who wore spectacles
throughout the play, might ae well �y
have had boards over his eyes for all
he appeared to see of the game,
While blindness is a defeeb not to be
laughed at in print, yet We'hate -to
lose the silverware because someone's
lights went out 10 a critical period of
our blistery.' That Brussels isn't,.hq.
the Same class with Walkerton, . on
the football field was amply demon
sleeted here on Tuesday, and if the
locals- win the protest which they
purpose entering, there is no doubt.
the next game will i bring the
championship dish Here.
Brussels denies the allegation as to
