The men locate.d the body in a hole In the river channel a short distance from the spot where the lad was last seen going clown stream, and was partly covered by silt, only one hand showing. For the first time since the search begun, conditions were favorable for an ex\mination of the river bottom, there being no wind and a bright sun 'shining. • On Saturday and Sunday men a- gain patrolled the river as far as Au- bure, while others confined their ef- forts on the pond. On Sunday Char- les Neill, of Cottam, arrived to try his divining rod—a piece of forked copper wire, and on Monday morning • -he intimated the spot ,where the body Ne.,[person who observed the grief- stricken father as he patiently watch- • ed day after day at the ceaseless toil of the men whoac labors brought no results, but felt heatt-sick for the an- guish he suffered, and expressed ad- •'iniration for the fortitude he exhibit- ed.' ' The relief at the recovery of the -body will be best appreciated by the parents, whose hearts vvill • be cont - forted in the rettirn of ,the mortal re- mains of their beloved, and which will be tenderly laid away this afternoon. A pubic service will be held in the United Church at 230 o'clock, inter- itient taking pace iri Wingliam Cem- -etery, SIREN MAKES A NOISE LADIES BOWLERS ORGANIZE The Ladies' Lawn Bowling Club held their annual meeting in the Council Chamber on Monday night, April 22nd 1929: The following of- ficers were elected: Hon: President—Mr. A.
