ACQUITTED ON CON-
SPIRACY CHARGE
After a six-day trial, including two
night sessions, J. B. F. Johnstone,
Toronto broker, and his associate in
the Consolidated and Amalgamated
Creameries, Francis H. Ryles, were
on Saturday night acquitted by Judge
Costello in county court at Goderich
of conspiracy to defraud.
Johnstone and Byles, however, re-
turned to the county jail. Johnstbne
has yet to face a charge of conver-
sion of funds amounting to. $88,000.
Byles faces charges of conversion,
fraud and theft. The adjourned trials
were fixed by His Honor Judge Cos-
tello for December 21.
In • giving his decision His Honor
•said he purposely refrained in pass-
ing comment on the evidence be-
cause of the charges which were still
to be heard. Argument of counsel
had been waived.
Judge Costello said•that at no time
during the progress of the trial had
he been able to convince himself 'that.
Johnstone and Byles are guilty of
conspiracy.

Could Not Be Beaten
A hand of cards beyond the fond-
est dreams of most bridge players
was dealt to Mrs. Emmerson Evans
of Goderich during an entertainment
at the home of a friend. When Mrs.
Evans picked up her hand she got
the thrill that comes few and far be-
tween when she saw the ace, king
and queen of all four suits, with the
jack of diamonds making up the thir-
teenth card. Her opponents readily,
conceded her a grand slam in no
trump.

A Real Wild Goose Chase
Frequently when people set out on
a fool's errand, or embark on a fruit-
less mission, they are invariably kid-
ded about "Going on 'a wild goose
chase," but this term can be aptly ap-
plied to 'a chase Craigie Leach of the
Durham Road East gave a real wild
goose on the home farm. on .Thurs-
day last. At an early hour of the
evening a large flock of roaming
wild geese was discovered feasting
on a delicious crop of green wheat
on the farm and making themselves
as much at home on the menu as if
they were eating corn out of the
hand. of .Jack Miner, himself. Con-
centrating his efforts on a well thigh -
ed beauty, which he singled out as
his victim ,{he agriculturist took af-
ter his choice which he reckoned was
a wild gander, and which he caught
cold before it could, effect a get-
away. The captive ,proved to be a
matured goose and is conceded to
be the first of its species ever cap-
tured by hand in a trial of speed in
the open. -Walkerton Herald -Times.

An unfortunate accident befell Mr.
Ezra Hawley of Peel Township un-
der very peculiar circumstances one
night last week. lie went to bed as
usual, but about midnight, he got up
and commenced walking in his sleep.
He went to one of the upstairs win-
dows, opened it and pushed out the
screen. He then leaned out and fell
to the ground, a distance of about
fifteen feet, breaking his left arta.
Miss Ruth Hartshorn, who resides
with Mr. and Mrs. Hawley, heard
hint fall. When assistance reached

to walk into the house. Though still
suffering from the shock, he is now
