N interesting aecoUnt of a
zeppelin. raid on lilnglandtla
. wee WI Suffelk poen'
A sepaeBst- made an -'tack on -.&n Malt Anglian coast towa
• aeserlY one morning. It Was heavily
*belled and driteen off, and Waa pro-
bably damaged. 8hortly-afterWards
It witi'ltrought down in flames by a.
Viler Of the It. F. C.
-A second airship raided a town on
the kent coast and dropped six
zbotabs. Three_ people were killed
and 20 injured, while a -large num-
.
bar of houses were damaged:
- The zeppelin, . as subsequent in-
quiries showed, came down a few
miles from the coait. She was first
winged by the anti-aircraftguns,
And thea given the coup de grace by
•nin aeroplatte. The aix-ship fought
the aeroplane with her guns, but the
,end soon. came, and she deicended
.41, field of green corn away from any
habitation and was utterly destroyed.
Our airman landed safely.
A police inspector said the zeppe-
lin was flying at a great height and
Its outline could be barely distin-
guished, even with the aid of the
:searehlights. Ia spite of this the
guns pounded away hard, and a few
shots seemed to reach the airship,
-which wobbled badly, as if damaged.
The coast batteries continued to fire
heavily on the raider, while a num-
ber of aeroplanes manoeuvred so aa
to cut off her retreat.
"Suddenly," said -the inspector,
ethe firing ceased, and almost imme-
diately I caught sight of a British
-machine climbing close to the air-
ship. The se-archlights lit up the
sky and it was possible to follow the
raider's movement's. She twisted
and turn, as if making a desperate
• attempt to beat the aeroplane off,
and in the stillness of the night very
rapid firing could he .heard up aloft.
This came from the machine-guns of
the zeppelin, which was fighting a
life -and -death duel with the aero-
plane. 1 saw she was making a
last effort to get out of reach,
and she headed again for the
coast. Almost simultaneously an-
-ether British machine came into:
-view and the zeppelin began to zig-
zag, as if dodging a succession of
shots. Once more she appeared .to
ecom.e Wand, her movements so er-
retie as to suggest that her common-
-der was at his wits' end to avert dile
aiilter. But the first of our aeroplanes
held to its quarry and flee minutes
later the airship burst into flames
amidships, broke into two parts, and
crashed inn! a 'field."
• Motor -cars rated to the scene, and
'the areanwherein the wreckage lay
was cut off from the view of the gen-.
eral public. Doctors hastened to see
if aid might' be given to the crew, but
in most cases.only charred skeletons
tentained. In fields close by parts of
the limbs of sortie of the crew were,
round, from 'title it is inferred that
they had jumped from the airship.
All day long there was a pilgrimage
of sightseers to the spot, which,
during the day, was fenced off by
barbed wire, and guarded by/ a core
-
don of police and soldiers.
It was about 10 o'clock on Satur-
day night that warning came through
eaemy airships being on the way,
and specials and others took up their
• 'appointed places.
As the night wore on many retired
to get a brief sleep, but still large
3aumbers congregated on the side-
walks, and neighbors kept each other
• company at doorways. About mid-
night.there was a terrific crash away
to the atorth, followed by dull irre-
gular booming to the southward.
Then came two more crashes, which
eilltook the plaee, and seemed to indi-
eate that something was happening
near at hand. Following were a
seriesof regular -thuds, some- four -
i
teen n all, which were assumed to
be the sounds of gunfire. Then the
ilawn began to make. The sky be-
came of a pearly gray, 'with just that
lavender tinge peculiar to midsum-
• mer, and the birds began to chirrup
and sing.. Overhead could be heard
the humming of aeroplanes, flying
high above the haze. This died
*.way, and then about 3 o'clock came
a. faint droning from apparently the
south-west. There was no need to
ask what it came from, most of us
had heard it before -the coming of a
zeppelin, culminating in house-
wreeking explosioas, and with a cau-
tion borne of previous experience
shelter was taken. Those more dar-
ing keptea look out, and they had
their reward. The droning became
louder, but there was • nothing of
bomb dropping. Then could be heard
the shaatper note of aeroplane - en-
gines' whirring. All eyes were. turn-
ed in the dilrectioa of the sounds, but
powerful glasses failed to reveal
anything away there in the hazy
south-west. 's
Suddenly there was a sharp flash
in. the heavens like a. short lightning
streak succeeded by a dull glowing
spot. Excited cries of "They've hit
her ---they've got her! She's 'hit!
She's hit!" came from hundreds of
spectators. The spot grew to the size
ef an orange. It increased in size, a
vivid eplaeli ofcrimson against the'
sky. It spread in spasmodic flashes.
Creat buring flakes fleeted down thel
are of the sky from an obioeg blaz-
ing' mass, that see -sawed up and
elowe with a curiously grotesque
movement -like a firework figure la
a setpiece. Then something dropped
,down, end directly after the • great
fiere riata..411 broke in' 4-wo, and before
slight northerly • wind gradually
Slid down the sky out of sight. All
this time the crowd had been 'shout-
-Jug and cheering for all they were
-worth, and when • the final tame, a
combined roar .of satisfaction went
tuo.

• Montreal, Deoeinber 31. -Offering
at the West End cattle market thi
morning amounted to 300 cattle, 60
sheep and lambs, 300 hogs and 10
calves. The market was weaker gen
erally, with the exception of hogs
which were strong and advanced. Cat
tie teading was slow, and prices sehed
uleccfor a decline. Attendance of buy
ers was small, and the big increase i
consumption of poultry to the 'exclu
sion of meats probably accounts fo
the general weakness. Lambs wer
porninent, declining fully one dolla
per 100 pounds. A large number o
country killed lambs are being shippe
in, which sell in the neighborhood o
22 cents. Charges are much. less on
the froen stock, alloeving them *0 se]
at nearly cents under the live stuff
which has „curtailed buying. There
have been a number on the market for
several days past but no one seemed
disposed to buy. This morning. some
choice lambs offered at $16.50 did no
get any' enquiries, although a number
sold at $16. Sheep the steady, $11
to $12: per 100 pounds, and calves
also at $7 to $10 for grass fed and
•milk fed at $14. Onli/ a very few
were offered. Hogs were strong, sell-
ing at $19.50 for choice selects, .and
• other grades proportionately. Canners'
cattle was in fair demand at $5.25 to
$6.50. At the C. P. R. yards offer-
ings were 250 cattle, 350 sheep and
lainbs, 300 .hogs and 50 calves.
Union Stock Yards, Toronto, Jan 1,
--This -morning's was the first real
marketat the yards for over a week.
Twenty-three hundred dattle- were on
offr and met with a ready sale at
steady values. Numerous loads of
choice butehers were included in the
shipment and cashed' in from $10.60
• to $11. A few loads of extra choice
steers found values between 11.25 -an• d
to
$12. Mediugood butchers were
a much stronger representation and
sold from $9.50 to $10.25, Best epws
• and bulls went forward in fair num-
bers and cashed in from $9.50 to $10.
Several extra choice cows cashed in
at $10 .25 and one extra nice bull at
11 cents. Canners and cutters- arid
• bologna bulls were active and steady
and practically everything in the kill-
ing line was cleaned up.
• Half a dozen loads of stockers and
feeders which cdst from $8 to 9.75
• were sent out. The few milkers and
springers on offer found a slow.trade
from $70 to $125. Six extra choice

TO THE ELECTORS ORSEAFORTH
Ladies and Gentlemen;
_Having been nominated for the pos-
ition of Reeve of the TOwn of Sea -
forth for 1918, I hereby solicit your
support to elect me to that position.
I regret that my competitor has forc-
ed an election on the town, as I was
the first to qualify; and as senior
member of the council, having served
continuously for the peat eight years,
feel more entitled to promotion than
he, considering the fact that -the for-
mer ,Reeve has been elected' Mayor
by acclamation. If elected I can as-
sure you that in the new position I
will give my best endeavors to insure
an economical and efficient administra-
tion of the town's affairs'. Wishing
you the compliments of the season.
John Grieve; V. S.
