A oHARIVARI.— Prosecutions will
follow as a result of a charivari near
Bluevale, that developed into a riot
o the the demand f t e mob for 55
was refused. Joseph Smith, aged 60,
living near Bluevale was married a
week ago to Mrs. Bothwell, of Luck -
now. The couple returned Sunday
night from a week's honeymoon and
a gang of men from the neighborhood
gathered to charivari them. Mem-
bers of the mob were armed with
circular saws, tin boilers and every
other form of noise -maker: They de-
manded 55 which the elderly bride-
groom refused. They then began to
stone the house. One stone hit Mrs.
Smith in the back between the shoul-
der blades. So great was the noise
raised by Lhe visitors that neighbors
for over a toile around were aroused
and a hurry call was sent in about 10
o'clock for High Constable George
Phippen, of Wingham, who was in-
formed that a riot was in progress.
He immediately secured an automo-
bile and hurried to the scene of the
disturbance. As soon as the mob
caught sight of the constable as he
stepped from the motor, however it
hurriedly dispersed, many going into
an oat field opposite Mr, Smith's
house, belonging to William Diamond
who now threatens action for the
damage thus done. Everyone escap-
ed in the darkness but one young man
named Churchill, who returned to
Mr. Diamond's, where he was captur-
ed by Constable Phippen. The
names of a number of the other
members of the gang were also secur-
ed and prosecution will follow. The
neighbors are greatly incensed over
the affair. About a week ago a
similes. occurrence was cut short by
the production of the $5 by the bride-
groom, James Fowler, who married
Miss Finlay, of Lower Wingham.
At the time greatindignation was ex-
pressed as the noise was plainly heard
iu Wingham, although Mr. Fowler
lives three-quarters of a mile distant.
