Some Disagreement 'As To
Condition Of Man 'Ac-
Cused of 'Assault
Owing to the illness from pneu-
monia of one of the •examining phy-
sicians, Dr. Harold Taylor, the caee
of David Gauley, nominally charged
with disorderly conduct,was for the'
second time adjourned on Saturday
at Goderich. Last week it was
Crown Attorney Holmes who was ill
with pneumonia and an adjournment
had to be made.
Two weeks ago Gauley is alleged
to have' run amok in Ashfield Town,
ship with a pitchfork and to have
threatened several people. The pol-
ice were sent for and Provincial Coi-
stable Whiteside and County Con-
stable Gundry responded-, One is al,
legecl to have used his baton on Gaul-
ey, splitting his head open. Gauley
appeared in court with a live -inch
strip of adhesive tape covering the
wound.
Since that incident feeling has run
high in Ashfield Township ,and for
the second time the courtroom was
too small to accommodate the farm-
ers who wished to hear the case,
Frank Donnelly, counsel for accused,
asked that the disorderly conduct
charge be proceeded with and dispos-
ed cf. IIe argued that Dr. Taylor
was not a material witness. Crown
Attorney Holmes offered to take the
evidence of witnesses present and to
adjourn the ease. Ile said there was
a very strong possibility that Gauley
would be charged with being insane
and dangerous to be at large. Conn-
sen were deadlocked. Magistrate
Reid finally adjourned the trial till
April 8. Gauley, who took a keen
interest in the 'proceedings, laughing
at the retorts of counsel, was re-
leased in the custody of Marvin Dur-
nin, with whom he bus been living.
Bail of $500 was proclueed by accus-
ed's friends.
Gauley's friends say that he is as
harmless as a kitten and allege he
was needlessly battered by the pol-
ice, who. however, have an entirely
different story to tell. It is under -
stn that thei
under -
steed a charge of insanity, if
laid, will be contested.
NEWS OF HAPPENINGS
IN THE COUNTY AND
DISTRICT
GODERICH: Commenting on the
report that 18,000,000 bushels of
farm board wheat in storage in On-
tario elevators was seriously men-
aced by the weevil and unfit for ex-
port, G. L. Parsons, president and
general manager of •Goderich .EIe-
vator and Transit Company, said the
other day that there was no weevil
noticeable and no damage had been
done to the 1,600,000 bushels of
farm board wheat in storage here.
If weevil is in the ];grain here, it is
dormant, said Mr. Perseus. The
temperature was below 50, the same
as with Canadian wheat. The Ain,
er•iean wheat has been turned per-
iodically stn order to retain the con-
dition. In the past three weeks
300,000 bushels have been eieported
via Boston and- it was in excellent
condition, Mr. Parsons said. It 'WAS
not impaired in finality for milling
and comparable with wheat from
Australia or the Argentine. Mr.
Parsons added that the storage of
American wheat in Ontario elevators
has created much work for unem-
ployed and had proved a boon to the
elevators here at a time when busi-
ness was sorely needed. It also had
given much business to Canadian
railways. - American wheat in stor-
age •here is in better shape than
when received late last summer. The
temperature is lower and much dust,
which creates weevil, has been elim-
inated in the frequent turning, it
was added by the elevator president.
CODER -ICH: Death has been
levying heavy toll in the tanks of

county's payment on account of pen-
sions for 1! ebruary was .$2,251.19,
which is considerably below the aver-
age of recent months. The number
of new applicants also shows a de-
crease, Inthe first six' months since
the act -came into effect, in 1929, ap-^
plieants placed on the list numbered

number was 248, for 12 months of
1931, 180, and so far in 1932 (three
months) only 34. This makes a• to-
tal •of 910. There- are at the pre-
sent time 539 :on the list which a-,
means that in less• than three years
270 have been removed from the list,
nearly all, of course, through death. •

natius "Ned" Weltin in his 77th year

an abnoinoal bacteria count and these
companies are to be checked up.
