TOOK LAW IN ITIS OWN HANDS
A ease was aired in -the Stratford
police court recently indicating that
occasionally where the law is not a-
vailable peoplestill do their own pun-
ishing. A farmer of rubber' was
charged with assaulting a boy of 14,
causing actual bodily harm. IIG was
found guilty but was for from .be-
ing censured by the magistrate who
fined him $1. The reason of the len-
iency was this: The farmer has a
small daughter, six years old, going
to the same school as the boy. She
was molested by this older boy on two
occasions, amounting to insult accord-
ing to several witnesses. She told
her mother who passed on the infor-
mation to the father. He thereupon
toole.his older son, a boy of 15, to the
school and ordered him to thresh the
other boy which he did quite thor-
oughly. The father however took
the responsibility for the act.
Wingham High school had nar-
row escape, from being destroyed by
fire last Friday, but prompt action
by the fire brigade and also by the
pupils and staff, saved it, , The Ios;
over $1,000, is covered by insurance.

Clinton Ne6V3-Recur
Just Twenty Years Ago
The Kincprdtne Review tells the
following story of the winter it suf-
fered a state of siege from old King
Winter, 'Clinton suffered too; but,
not to the extent that the Bruce town
did:
"To settle n dispute as to the year
in which Kincardine was in a state
of .siege we looked up the files, of The
Review and find that the storms be-
gan;in January and continued all
through February and' into March,
1904, just twenty years ago. Do
you remember those days? . There
are photos to, be seen of snowbanks
Pon the west side' of Queen street so
high' that from the sidewalk all you
could see across the street was the
mansard roof of the Guneaer Block,
Teamsters drove their teams on the
sidewalks. Thomas MVlcGaw'was
et. inspector' at the thne and he got
the men and boys to work and they
levelled the banks down and the road-
way tip. Merchants running out of
something wouldborrow from other
merchants until "all were out of certain
things kerosene, onions, oatmeal,
etc. Hotel keepers were runnng shy
of beer and whiskey and Joe Naugh-
'ton:who rap i; the Commercial Hotel
where W. J. Morrison's store is now
drove over the banks to Kitchener and
back and relieved the garrison,art
riving just about the Bute` the rail_ .
way blockade' was lifted, The late
George Morrison and George hr. Har-
ris drove to' Iflecknow or Win7liani
and brought back a 'sleigh load., of
mail matter, That was the . first
;news' of the 'world reoeived in town
4or;'ten days excepting such as came
over . the wires in condensed forum:
Thee late Rev. Dr. 13rie'gs was stalled
here at the tir'ne. ,He was eager to
get back to Toronto for he was head
of the Methodist Book "Room. Tie•
telegraphed the office -every day. One
telegram read `Storni 'still raging; so
ant1.'.
There was, very little business be-
ing -done but it was mot wholly desti_
tute of brightness. There being no
mails, no drafts were;,coming in. No
grain or cattle being sold 'and there'
was, but little money in circulation
so the people declared• a sort of tacit
moratorium". Railway men had the
hardest timeepe all. Th'e rolling
stock in those days was not what it
is now; the. rails not heavy enough
to bear moguls dr big snowplows.
They were the butt of jokeste,rs,.
'Have you a string in your pocket,'
whispered the conductor to a passen-
ger, 'I want tofix the engine.' ` 'Tfiat
was one of them. The train crews
made the best of the material at hand.
A testimonial signed by the late An,
drew Malcolm` and Rev. Joseph Philp
testified to, the energy, patience and
solicitude of the `crew of a train on'
which the two gentlemen were stalled,
It was most exasperating the way the
snow' would -oontinue to fall and the
regularity with Itielf the wind would
arise to fill the to el through•which
the train ran. For it `was a tunnel,
The banks on either side were so
high that'only the smoke from. the
engine told that a train was asking
its way through and 'the coaches had
to be lit even in the day time by 'sr-.
tifioial means. That winter Cost the
railway a lot of money..
The story of that winter is told In,
thesesextraets from the Review
(From the Reveiw January 21, 1904)
The talk of the town and country
is the weather. Old residents tell of
greater storms but none of them cab
rememer r When there was a. greater
quantity of snow. It is not all piled
along the fences. In the fields the
Snow will average two feet. A thaw
is longed for by the farmers who are
short of water, by the railroad. crews
who have to battle their way through
drifts, and by everyone who has to
travel. It would be a serious thing
however if all the snow should go'in
one thaw. The consequent floods
would do great damage.. On Sat-
urday another train •came on and
blocked the two trains that should
have arrived in Kincardine after 3
o'clock, A snow plow 'corning to
the rescue also stuck in a bank. On
Sunday afternoon two snowplows, a
freightand a passenger train and six'
engines arrived in town,
.(There was no issue of the Review
the following week as paper had not
arrived.) '
(From the Review February 4, 1904)
Kincardine was shutout from the.
world foe five days lately. Oil
Thursday a sleet storm passed over
Western Ontario. The snow iced on
the railway trade and the snow plows.
had all they could do to remove it,
The Kincardine train under Conduc-
tor Ireland made a brave attempt to
reach its destination on Sunday mor-
ning but, another storm overtook it
and filled un the track. The Arabi
stalled between Lncknow and Ripley.
Some of the crew walked back to
Lucknow in a blinding storm and sent
a sleigh to' take off the passengers.
The people of Kincardine and Ripley
were without the news of the world

frem Wednesday until' Tuesday,
(From The Review Feb, 11, 1904).
Tor the`past month Kincardine has
been in'a state of siege. Relief has
come at different times in the shops
of a passenger, train carrying snails
and express but except for a few car-
loads of Coal we have had no freight
for a month, I .
Merchants get what goods' they ur-
gently need by express. They, help
each other as best they can. If one:
runs out of; some commodity he bor-
rows from another. Goods ordered
by freight- six weeks ago have ar-
rived yet, Veery little grain is conn
Mg in and what is, is being stored in.
the elevators. Livestock cannot be
handled at all. There is ,therefore
very little money in circulation.
(From The Review of Feb. 18, 1904)
All trains cancelled on Monday,.
Tuesday, and Wednesday. This was
the -position in Kincardine this week
as on all branch lines: The •storm on
Saturday,' Sunday and Monday -filled
the tunnel through which the trains
now,rnn and it was Wednesday evep.-
ing before a snow -plow with five en-
eines and, fifty men .reached -'I£inear
dine. - The men were: sent' to the
Queen's and 'Walker House for sup
per and the return tripwas begun al-.
lowing a snail train to -release the
beige early' Thursday morning. The
banks in some 'cases were twelve feet
high. The gang- tool 'three days
cheering the track from Kincardine-
to Wiinghare.
(From The ,Review Feb.` 25th, 19,04)
The situation was relieved in IK$n-
cardine on Saturday and Sunday by
the arrival, of freight, some of; which
has been on the way for six weeks.
The important part of the •cargoee
was coal, six cars for Messrs. Gentles
& 'Burnside and two • for "Mt. L.
Komph` The .supply will surely fill
the gap until the weather clears and
the snow king relents. . It is wonder-
ful how fast the news of its arrival
travelled. Early Monday "'morning
farmers were coming in with empty.
sleighs and doing 'home with theses
loaded , with black diamonds. . No
train arrived on Monday 'but. during
the night one web stalled in a snow
bpnk north. of Ripley, arriving here
on Tuesday .noon. The G.T.R.
paid off its shovellers on Monday. -
(Frons The Review March 10, 1904)
No' train has reached Kincardine
since ,Saturday, Feb.- 27th, and on
March '9th there is as much' doubt as
tb 'when one would arrive as there
was a week ago. During this time
no daily 'papers or mail matter were
received and our citizens' were ignor.
ant of what •'was taking place in the
outside world. On' Wednesday, mail
bags accumulating in Winghaiii were
,brought in by sleigh. =*
' The coal supply has run out and
many are taking down 'their' coal
stovesaand will, burn wood although it
too is a scare article and $6.00 for a
small load is the usual price. No
kerosene;' gasoline or machine oil is
to be had and several grocers, are al-
most out of brown sugar, oatmeal,
soda biscuits and 'other things. Even
the hotels are becoming discouraged,.
,their connnercial trade having drop-
ped. off completely, not one traveller
registering last week.
