Usually ne-wspaper readers of these evente, living at a distance from the loeality in whieh they actually take place, leok upon them with a certain measure of indifference, as something beyond the mode of living and be- haviour of their .particular commun- ity, but when ban-dits find their way up as far as Mitchell, it is getting a little too near home. This particular man, or boy—he is only twenty—stole a car in Hamilton and headed west. When he stole ten gallons of gasoline en route, the po- lice were immediately on his trael and although he was intercepted at Kit- chener, he was not caught until he was shot down at Mitchell. True, he did not hold up, nor kill any person on his way, but that was more an act of Providence than forbearance on his part, because hetelrove through one of the busiest city streets of Stratfora with its Saturday night traffic, at sixty to sixty-five miles an hour, and .continued at that rate along the Huron highway to Metchell. The Stratford police deserve every credit for their capture, because their captive is a dangerous man. Already at twenty he has served a prison term. To give him a chance hc was paroled, but in breaking that parole, he showed plainly he did not want a chance to reform. He did not want to be a decent citizen; he thought he could get more out of life by being an outlaw. It was a deliberate choice and not because he could not obtain honest employment. Any man tha. can drive a car in reverse at thirty miles an hour in traffic and at sixty- five miles an hour forward, also in traffic, can command a highly paid job as chauffeur or truck driver any place. In all probability he did not want to work, and it is equally probable that he had never been taught to work. He has had his chance; now he should be made to learn to work, His sent- ence should be four or five years, long enough to learn a useful trade, and learn it thoroughly.

He was at the barn, when he slipped on the gangway, and fell, fracturing his leg below the knee. Ile will be laid up for several weeks, and the accident, bad enough at any time, is all the more serious, corning at this season of the year. The Charters' family are having more than their share of accidents, as it is only a few weeks ago that Mrs. Charters fell and fractured her arm, but a host of friends will wish them both a ranid re- covery.

Dear Sir: In your last week's is- sue there was a letter written in an • ewer to the Stratford Beacon, which was an answer to a former letter in- serted in the Stratford paper under the signature of Our Own Correspon- dent, but the next week the cc -- respondent denied having sent it. Now there have been letters like this in the different papers, evidently all from the same person, and I answer- ed all of them, as I would like the public to get the right of it. ut think it is unfair that the papers put in such letters unless the writer is willing to publish his own name,- to them. There is a strong feeling that sniping and the submarines should be aboliehed in warfare as it does not give the other fellow a chance, and I would elass a man who writes such articles with a sniper, 'as any un- scrupulous person can attack an hon- est and responsible person without giving that person a fair chance. And that is the way these persons have been carrying on ell along. asks where all the meney went and for us to give a statement. Now if he was at the nomination for True tees, we passed around the printed statements at that time and we were also there to answer any questions. But none of our apposition candidate., ehowed up. TVeays we did not give the people a (theme to vote. If he laok up the minutes of the mut- ell meeting of August, 1928, he will gad a motion moved by E. P. Merrier, seconded by John Parker, that a vote talten as soon as possible to see if the people were in favor of dieira corporation or not, and it was de- feated by the tote of the two other coantillors and the Reeve, said at the nomination at the eed of the rear we niedie that the issue, and I am „awe if roar eorrespondent wee there he c'atiet muse, me of *Irking the issue to tri it clear what. v.re ivitended tAa.alo, and the result weis &et .four lected were for disincorporation and le against And) as We liad to Gelb - it to the enajoity before they were Oeed,.to aubtait to the majority ha taa Tsamee to our 11 Mono they bad way 118, lao we nd the =es° joeiter there elm debenture was just $117, -but if he lOoke egein he will see that $170 was peid to .Goclerich. Towne* Telephone, whiCh was for the IlaetcelfeSeott•line. bilso refers to me as the defeated candidate. 'Well, I was not defeated by the voters of Bayfield, as I was a tie with the Man that beaded the poll at a previous electiqn end who boasts that he never was defeated. The returning officer, who was a voter in Bayfield, gave me the casting vote, but when he got to Goderich the County Clerk claimed the right to break the tie. Now when a tie is broken, the preference is generally given to the one in office, and as I was Reeve and the other mart was not in office, I should have been giv- en the preference (all things equal), but as he was the son-in-law of the candidate, of course he had to give him the vote, even though he had n) other interest in Bayfield. He also says I took my oath that there wer certain irregularities in the election. Of course I did, and I was ready to prove them; but the one who was guilty of some of the ir- regularities got celd feet and resign- ed and got the others to resign, and they save, to save trouble and ex- pense.- Well it was not to save trou- ble and expense to myself or Mr. Pease. They also said they sent the charges to Attorney General Price. Now thid was entered at Oegoode Hall so that Mr, Price had nothing to do with it, and I don't think he advised them to fight it. And if it is correct that he debarred Mr. Pease from be- ing Returning Officer, then I would like to know why he did not name someone to take his place, as it seems to be reasonable that if he had author ity to do the one thing, he also had the authority to do the other. Your correspondent signs himself a resident under the reign of William Osmond and the embodiment of all authority to the young Progressives. evidently -meaning the past members of the Council who put a bill through the Legislature. Well, we never con- sidered him as in authority over us. He used to be called caretaker of the hall. I believe he is called Chief of Police now, as the Trustees hired an assistant for him last summete'laut I don't think we are lawbreakers, there- fore we have nothing to fear from him. But I know that the writer is trying to reflect on Mr. Osmond. But would draw his attention to the fact that he is a member of the same gang as himself, as he was a signer of the counter petition, and I suppose correspondent was too. He also was attending the gatherings when they met to discuss ways and means to defeat the bill and also helped to broadcast the very convincing argu- ments against us. Therefore, he would think he would at least have the courtesy to treat him with a lit- fle respect instead of trying to poke fun at him. He is not an offspring of the police village, as the correspond- ent is trying to let on, but is rather a relic of the old incorporation. Now, Mr. Editor, I am ready to back MD my statements with proof, but I do not intend to answer any more letters unless they are properly eigned, as I am beginning to doubt as tc the responsibility of the writer of ',hose letters. Thanking you, E. F b tone, which tbey heVe Wen be for a number of years end witli be a record celebration.

G. Johnston, who was a passenger with him, was in- jured. 1VIx. Sherritt was dead when extricated from the wreckage. The flyer was about to start off on a flight into the northern mining field, taking Mr. Johnston with him to in- spect some property. The plane left the ground without any semblance of. trouble. Reaching an altitude of a- bout two or three hundred feet, the machine suddenly stalled and fell to the ground. It crumpled into a mass on a field near the town. It was only a few weeks ago that Mr. Sherritt surprised his friends here by drop- ping out of the sky in a swallow bi- plane and casually announced that he had flown from Miami, Fla., in a series of hops. He'stated he had un- dertaken the flight, after only a week's instructions in the handling of a plane. It was his intention to fly back to Florida this summer to pur- chase a larger plane for his work, in the mining field of Northern Mani- toba. His very sudden death occur- red at the Pas; Manitoba." As Others See IIs.= -The following very interesting clipping was taken from the Wingham Advance -Times, referring to the very, popular play, "Mummy and the Mumps," which was presented in that town on Tuesday evening of last week to a crowded house, and which will prove very in- teresting to our readers: "There is something so attractive about amateur theatricals that when presented after any reasonable preparation, the pub- ic warmly responds, getting a rare evening's enjoyment. Tuesday eve- ning Hensel' young people presented a. humorous play, "The Mummy and the 'Mumps" in a decidedly clever manner, and before a full house.

Drummond; Perk - ns, David Shirray; Anna Hampton, Mrs. Peppier; Maude Mullen, Grace Stone; Dulcie Dumble, Louise Drum- mond; Agatha Laidlaw, Mrs. Shr- ay; Phoebe Beebe, Mrs. A. L. Case. Francis Briscoe drops in on his old schoolday chum, William Laidlaw, who s spending a short visit with his unt, Agatha Laidlaw, head of a mod- rn exclusive school for girls. At the ame time, Sir Hector Fish, a renown - d archeologist, just arrived from the resit, is expected •at Miss Laidlaw's, ho is an, old friend.

Albert Shirray was everything impetuous youth might be, ready to explain temporarily any em- barrassment, at least to hie own sat- isfaction. Both he ,and Mr. Jones gave a really clever interpretation of the feminine wiles, when dressed for the part, even if the clergyman did not know how to reach a woman's pocket To E. Drummond must be given credit for a really fine interpre- tation of an Irish servant, whose ac- cent, gestures and walk, convulsed the audience. David Shirray had a good idea of a sheriff's importance and oft times inability to see the real point. Mrs. Peppier made a 'charm- ing school girl, whose intuition sized up the situation of the identity of the real Sir Hector Fish, and after a two days acquaintance could call him "Heck." Grace Stone and Louise Drumimond carried off their parts with very creditable acceptance. Mre. A. L. Carr has the modern reporter's idea of making an ;impression if not getting all the facts, and made a good hit. The play was well staged, while the costumes, were decidedly at- tractive, and lent much to the delight of the evening. Arthur's Radio Orchestra rendered a number of selections While the audience gather- ed and between acts, and a solo by A. YI. Forbes, were greatly ap- preciated."
