ignited the barn belonging to Dennis

the house. Her husband was splitting
firewood in front of the door. Mrs.
Kaufman has been ailing all winter.

Kleist Turnkey of the Walkerton jail.

English which will make him useful as
an interpreter both in jail and courts.
It is likely that this was a considera-
tion with the Sheriff in giving him the
position.

On Wednesday morning of last week
A. Cavan, Collector of Inland Revenue
for Stratford District, and Constable F.
Scott, of Brussels, made a descent on,
the premises of Conrad Engel, 12th.
con., near Cranbrook, charged him with
having an illicit still in his cellar. He
pleaded guilty and the visitors secured
a still, built in brick, a copper worm,
several tubs, some ground malt, five gal-
lons of molasses and 20 gallons of
spirits. Engel had worked the still dur-
ing the past winter. He was arrested
and brought before Alex. Hunter and
John McCrae. J. P.'s Brussels, and was
fined $100 and costs and sentenced to
one month's confinement in Goderieh
jail with hard labor. Mr. Scott accom-
panied him to the county town on . the
forenoon train. A younger brother,
named Andrew, was arrestee d as an ac-
complice but the charges were with-
drawn and he was allowed his liberty.
It is supposed that other parties were
interested in the manufacture but their
names are not made public as yet. It
rather knocks the profits off the business
when Mr. Cavan's visit is paid for. En-
gel is a quiet, hard-working young fel-
low and was a most unlikely person to
be engaged in illicit distilling. He
would not say where he secured the
necessary apparatus. _ Bhuasele Post.
