WALTON WINS
HURON LEAGUE
,One of the largest crowds in the
history of the Seaforth recreation
grounds gathered Friday night to
' witness the final match between \Val -
ton and IBrucefieid in the Stephenson
Cup series of the Huron Football As-
sociation, Walton carrying off the
honors with 2 goals to 1
!Front Brucelfield came a large
crowd of supporters and Walton had
equally as many, besides a large
number of local spectators whose
sympathies were not so strongly
biased for either one side or the
other, and all saw a real good game.
Walton had taken the 'first of the
series with a 241' victory at 'Brucefieid;
in "the second game, at Walton, the
score •was '1'-0 for B•rwcelfield, tying
up the .round in goads and games. The
.deciding match gave Walton the vic-
tory; this team has won the Cup two
ottt of the three years since the Hur-
on Association was organized in 1932.
These two team's are evenly snatch-
ed, their style is somewhat different
but each is strong in its own fashion,
and gave all they had on Friday
night, winding up with a whirlwind
'finish when IBrucefield tried hard to
tie up the score.
!Walton got the first goal, Carter
:coring on a penalty kick about the
middle of the first period. Shortly af-
ter B•rttcefield evened up when Rog-
erson and Rutherford.combined to
smack the ball- past Rutledge. Walt -
ons winning goal was Ikickecl' by
Lorne Steiss in the closing minutes
of the game. Walton was able to hold
IBrncefield off though bard ;pressed for
the remainder of the game. Bid ;Bell
Of Brussels and ;Jack Armstrong,
'Constance, refereed. The winners
and the runn'crs up received the
'hearty congratulations of the 'big
crowd at the close of the game.
'PROCEEDS DES'PIT•E
DYNAMITE THREAT
Threshing operations have provided
the community north and west of
.Seaforth on both sides of the Ilullett-
McKillop boundary with plenty of
thrills this week,
lAn attempt was made 10 set fire to
a threshing machine and barn near
Constance, and a letter threatening to
cause an. explosion was received by a
thresher on the Lead'bury line.
!Ross MelGregor's barn, Hullett,
had a close call on Friday while
threshing was in progress, when a
bottle of gasoline and a bundle of
matches Were found in a sheaf, ,The
'discovery was made by John Mc-
Cowan, a neighbor, who felt his fork
strike something hard in the sheaf.
Investigation disclosed a bottle filled
with gasoline and attached to the
cork by means of a string was a
bundle of matches. The sheaf had
been resting on one of the beans, as
if cunningly placed there to keep the
matches dry.
The authorities at Goderich were
notified and while there was no clue
to the miscreant, they advised Ross
to let then know immediately if
there were any further developments.
Sunday morning Ross Mc'Ggregor' and
a friend, Will Jewett, went to the
back of the 'farm to look for some
calves and while sitting on a stump
they noticed a stranger who seemed
in hard circumstances.
"Have you had any breakfast yet?"
they asked.
"I never eat," was the reply.
"Where did you sleep?"
'I never sleep." -
Further questioning elicited ans-
wers in a similar vein, and the -young
men could not be sure whether the
man was merely pretending to be
crazy. So Will remained to keep an
eye on him while ROSS telephoned
the police; they immediately carne
down and took charge of the .man
who went quietly. He has been held
on a nominal charge of vagrancy.
It is understood that he later gave
his name as Robert Armstrong, ad-
dress unknown.
!Another startling and nerve-rack-
ing situation for some residents of
the Leadbury line was revealed early
this week. It seems that on Saturday
Mr, William Somerville, thresher,
received an anonymous letter warn-
ing hien not to thresh on the Tomlin-
son farm because there was dynamite
in every field, The letter was violent-
ly worded and defamatory, apparent-
ly intended to try to prevent Tomlin
son from getting his crop threshed,
Mr, Somerville turned the letter over
to Mr. Tomlinson but nothing was
said to anyone else. Threshing at 1Ir,
Josh. Dennison's was completed Sat-
urday night, and the machine moved
to Tonlinson's according to sched-
ule, where it remained over Sunday.
The Tomlinson threshing -was done
on Monday without untoward occur-
rence, The peen were afterwards told-
of
oedof the letter; but in the meantime the
families of those concerned under-
went a trying ordeal, even though
they felt sure the -letter- was only a
hoax.
