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.
