A horse, twenty-two hogs and.. - about 30 hens, also were burned. It was apparently a clear case of spontaneous combustion, as the place "burst .into flames at once. The barn was built about five years ago, re- placing one destroyed by •lightning,. Mr. Smith has not yet decided wheth- er he will rebuild or not. UNITED CHURCH W.M.S.

The revival and expansion of Wing - ham's industrial life has brought to town much new material for baseball and hockey and , this coupled with the fact that Wingharn has sorely felt the loss of more active participa- tion in these sports, has encouraged the formation of an active organiza- tion determined to carry out an ag- gressive sports. programme. It was the consensus of opinion that Wingham's industries required such an .organization in order to bring to town and bold in Wingham the best class of skilled workmen, for desirable .help" will not remain long in a "dead" town. This was confirnr- ed by a letter from Mr. J. 1'. Tessier, General Manager of the Gunn -Son - Ole Company, who expressed his re- grets at being tenable to be present at the meeting but offered active co- operation in any activities along the line of; sport. A general public mec ting for the purpose of organizing a central sports committee will be held in the Conn - 61 Chamber Tuesday, Otcober 8th, It will be the duty of this commit- tee to revive junior as well as senior sports. Wingham has ample ' home talent which can be developed into winning teams in various linen of sport. The first work of the central com.- mittee will be the organization of .a hockey leaguefor this winter anda hard ball team for next summer. Tint.

LOCAL BURGLARY When Frank ' Sturdy opened his pool room on Saturday morning he noticed the remains of a chocolate bar on' the front counter, but paid no particular attention, although the cir- cumstances did seem a little strange.. Shortly after he missed some silver, and then a search showed that some pipes, tobacco, and chocolate bars had been removed., 1 -le notified the au- thorities and soon the local .Sherlock Holmes were hot on r, trail that _ ev- entually led them to ar? island on the prairie, where a part of the loot sees' discovered buried in the ground. Pv. a piece of strategy they marooned a couple of youths, Chester Bruce and. Albert Wesley, and on being charged: with the theft, made partial acknow- ledgement and turned over about six dollars in cash. The case came up on Tuesday morning before Magis- trate Reid, Crown Attorney, D. Hol- mes prosecuting, when the youths pleaded guilty and were remanded' for a, week. This they will spend in the county guest rooms in Goderich. Constables Allen and Phippen act- ing on a strong hint that the prairie would yield some startling surprises if enough investigations were made„ yesterday morning went out on a quiet prospecting trip. And what a discovery they made -a rich strike.. They returned with what they had found hidden and buried, a buggy load of ladies' dresses, quilts, cook- ing utensils, food of various kinds, and a miscellaneous lot of other mat erial.
