Blyth. Man Found. Guilty—
Roy Doherty was acquitted last
week at Chatham of manslaughter in
connection with the death :October
16th last, in an automobile acciden
of Harvey Davis, of Blyth. The ,fury
returned a verdict of guilty of crim-
inal negligence. The verdict ended a
two-day trial before Mr, justice .G
A. Urquhart at the winter assizes
Doherty was remanded for sentence
;At conclusion of evidence counsel for
Doherty offered a plea of guilty to a
criminal negligence charge but :Justice
Urquhart refused the plea and sen
the case to the jury. Dayis was 'killed

'Wheatley when a car, driven by Do-
herty, crashed into the rear of a car

senger in the Doherty car. DDohert)
and Mr. and Mrs. Gosnell also were
injured in the accident. 'Doherty's in

Rabbits Scarce in States—
\Vestern Ontario has been overrun
by big jack rabbits for many years
and organized drives have become a
useful pastime to keep themt from be -
coining a pest. It is therefore inter-
esting to read that Penn ylvania is
worried because more than a nil:ion
rabbits are killed each year by speed -
ins cars—half as many as their hunt-
ers.hoot—which the state regards a
costly ta mess

much a a dour apiece to restock th
fields—often 60,000 in a season. Th

WOOD -SAWING RECORD
SET UP AT'STAFFAf
(!By J. :SlacTavish in,the (London
Free 'Press.)
Everybody in $taifa knew that
spring had; arrived.
Old Bil,• the nail carrier, had: ar-
rived from !Farquhar, on his way to
Dublin, in a sulky- instead of the cut-
er. (Archie had returned from an in-,
spection of his trips and announced
that he had "spied .two robins in high
glee actin' as if they were pickin' a
spot tae start housekeeping wi'oot
delay."
But to frequenters of the tavern at
the foot of the hill. was, perhaps, the
surest sign of all. It was a bill tacked
to the 'bar room wall announcing the
springtime sawing match, to take
place in the yard outside. This , was,
back in the eighties.
,And throughout an intensely severe
reinter the strokes of axes and the
swish of saws might be heard in a41
the surrounding woods,
Woodcutting vas in evidence on
every near -by farm—Bells. •Butsens,
McDougalis, :Morris. Tuffins, Boyles.
Wilsons, [Hammonds, Drakes. •Word -
ens, Toes, Hothatns. Barbers, Jeff
ergs. Burns—while Sadler s sawmill
buzzed with activity.
Occasionally some fanner would
hold a sawing bee in order to speed
up some desired quantity, and of :cord
wood the grist mill was never lack-
ing an immense supply.
:Climaxing all events, however, was
the village sawing- .match where ex-
citement waxed intense.
On the particular day in mind a
large maple log of sidtable size rested
directly in front of the weather-beat-
en hotel sign.
By midday persons began to arrive
from .Exeter, Hensall, Seaforbh, !Dub-
lin, Mitchell, Fullerton, Failquhar,
Cromarty; by '1 o'clock scores of men
had viewed the log. and commented
favorably,
Many excellent cross -cut saws, their
finely set teeth :'heathed for protec-
tion with narrow, thin strips of wood,
glistened in the sunlight.
The most popular saws at the tittle
bore in their sides such names as The
Racer, The Huron and The Lance.
Just yesterday we hailed a man car-
rying a cross -cut cu sail'
¢ t to learn some-
thing about it. He said that it was an
old-time 'Racer," one of the best
saws that had ever 'beets made: had
been in use for years and years. He
didn't know hos' long.
A few of tate outstanding sowers
who participated in the Staffa match
had such names as 'Gardiner, Pollen,
Peart, Butson, 'Alin, Campibell, iTt-
Vey, Venner, Baa, Hoggarth and two
brothers, Bill and Ben :Dunlop, who in
any class were mighty hard to beat.
'By 3 o'clock everything Nva, ready
with Jimmy Oke, of 'Exeter, acting in
the capacity of both referee and time-
keeper. Jimmy was perched upon a
large whisky keg with his back rest-
ing against the hotel sign post, while
his legs beat a tattoo against the side
of the barrel. His great corpulent
body with its jovial, ruddy face, and
its well-known personality, made him
especially well suited to fulfill his al-
lotted, official duties.
The first race caned for was the
junior event.
The .first two competitors took po-
sitions carefully, holes were dug for
secure foothold.. The can- was un-
sheathed; its shining teeth clanged
soon as they came in conta:t with
:he rough bark.
"Ai: sea! Sure questioned Jimmy.
-Tien go."
Much discussion was under way
soon as the cartwheel ,slab fell to the
ground.
If memory serves us as it should,
:he time taken to make the cut was
something slyer 60 seconds.
After the junior event carte the
- greenhorn class, which was intntedi-
• ately followed by what was known as
the free-for-all. There were also en-
tries for a slight -weight competition
which took .place before the premier
e match of the day, the heavyweight.
In this event excitement reached its
s zenith, and in it were the Dunton bro-
a then. The giant -Like men stripped to
•the waist. Every movement indicated
strength. Their muscles showed like
- knotted cords. Minutes elapsed before
- they got what they called sure foot -
Mg. but finally they were off and were
notched most intently 'by eager, en-
thusiastic ,eyes.
Speed increased with every "pnish-.
pull" of the saw; shifter and swifter
it seemed to glide; deeper and deeper
the keen teeth sank.
Spectators were shooting, jostling,
elbowing, pushing one another for
;better vantage ground.
Jimmy sprang from the keit cir- FREE SERVICE
mending everybody to 'stand hark!
Make room! Give the sawrre
chance!"
A Lew seconds'llater the round slab
flopped off With a great tvhaek mite
another one, preeiously cut.
"Forty-eight seconds flat," called
the timekeeper, :putting his much
prized stop watch, tvhicb wits sits-
pended by a massive gold chain- hark

The time would have been :lessened
by a second or .more had snot one of
the :brothers shrieked wihen the out
was a'b'out half -way through: "Sock
er one,"
Scarcely were the words .uttered be-
fore the other brother put the full
force of his being into action. The
suddenness of this ,extra spurt with
added pressure almost spelled disas-
ter, :Perfect control of the saw was
last by a side movement which caus-
ed it to buckle with a whipping, whin-
ing sound.
'Nevertheless they lessened the fast-
est time by several seconds.
The wind-up of the sawing -match
by pro means 'brought to a close the
day's hum of activity. The aftermath
extended far into the night, The grand
finale was enacted in the tavern where
high revelry was in Rall swing.-
Thus ended one of Staffa's outstand-
ing sawing matches.
Such events are a thing of the past,
but the scenes presented, and the riv-
alry apparent; still live fresh in mem-
ory.
