AFTER PAIR SCISSORS Chief of 'Police James V. Ryan nar- rowly escaped serious injury on Wea- nesday morning when a transient, wboimi he was attempting to areest, threw a pair of -scissors at him. Only the agility tlf the Chief in throwing up an arm aaved, him fret possible facial iniury. The scissors pierced the Chief's sleeve and drew blood. The transient, who had spent the nighb in the town hall, refused the lineal that was offered him and re- fused to work the buck saw on the wood pile. Making his way up John Street, he stopped 'at the home of Col, R. S. Hays and asked for ,a meal. When, advised to go to the town hall, he is said to have spoken impertinently and left. As the transient went out the walk Mrs. Hays saw him pick up a pair of scissors that bad been-lostea few days before and asked him'to re- turn them, but he refused. at was then that Chief Ryan was called. After making stops at other west end residences, the transient headed up the highway towards Clinton. Chief Ryan in a car driven by George Hays and accompanied by Hugh Oke, caught up to him a short distance beyond Harpurhey cemetery. When be refused to hand over the ecissors, the Chief began searching him only to have the scissars sud- denly thrown at him. The kritght of the road then broke away, running across the fields. The 'Chief fired four shots, in tale air in an effort to stop'him, but to no avail. The scissors were recovered and Chief Ryan telephoned neighboring towns to he on the lookout for the character. Transients were a source of worry to officials on Tuesday and Wednes- day of th•is week. On Tuesday night three men applied for. meals and a bed but were so drunk and disorder - ]y• they had to be locked up. McKILLOP INSURANCE COMPANY HEAD DIES George R. McCartney Fails To Rally After Majoi. Operation. George R. 1VIcCartney, of Tucker - smith, one of the most widely known and successful Hatron County farm- ers, died in Kitchener -Waterloo Hos- pital early Sunday morning, Novem- ber 19th, following a major opera- tion performed a few days previnua- ly. Mr. McCartney had not been in good health for some time, but until last summer was able to he about superintending the farm work and other business activities in 'whin he had been .engaged for many years. The deceased was horn in Tucker- emith township sixty-three..years, ago, being a son of the late Robert Mc- Cartney and Isabella Walker. who were mem(bers of two of the oldest pioneer families of the district, (When quite a young men he went to the Westwhere for some time heawas engaged in railroad work with the C. P. R. Later in company with his father he took up considerable land near Moose Jaw, Sask., where he engaged successfully in ranching and farming for a number of years. iSome twenty-five years ago he %disposed of his western property and returned to Ontario, purchasing the [Walker ho)niestead on the Mill Road, where he has since made his home.' Besides his extensive farm activi- ties, Mr. 'McCartney took an active part in public life. He was a direc- tor of the 1Seaforth Agricultural So- ciety; President of the Seaforth Turf Club and for many years a Director and at his death was President of the Jatelaillop Mutual Fire Insurance Company .' Since the organization of the County Road System, he had al- so had charge of the work on the &MI Road. [Besides his widow, who before her marriage was Miss 'Mary McCartney, of Grey To-wnship, he is survived by three sons: George, Wilson and Robt. McCartney, all of Tuckersm.ith, and a sister, Mrs. Thos. Geddes, Boharm, Sask.

Rain and Thaw of Tuesday Help Farmers -Whose Wells Are Dry But_Stop Traffic Streets of Town and Con- cession Roads Virtually Impassable After Rain and Thaw Softens Snow, Allowing Wheels' to Cut Through to Pavement. COLDER WEATHER THURSDAY HELPS The same rain 'that proved so bene- ficial. to ..fa,nirere, whose wells are dry,was a Jonah to. motorists and truckers who wished to go anywhere. The heavy snowfall of last week left concession roads completely block- ed. Highway No. 8 was opened on Thursday last by the government plow, but when the rain of Tuesday came cars cut through to the pave- ment, causing a complete .cessation of traffic. . The plow came through again Tuesday night. Road conditions during the past week have been the worst in years and have caused the postponement of numerous fowl suppers and concerts. Goderich reports that twelve police court cases throughout the county, have -had to be postponed because of the inability of the magistrate and witnesses to reach the place of trial. Walking is as hazardous as motor- ing and pedestrians who ventured on the sidewalks Tuesday or Wednesday found it virtually impossible to cross from one side of the street to the other. Colder weather Thursday has, how- ever, helped to make the roads and streets navigable. • LAST ARRANGEMENTS BEING COMPLETE D Baking . Championship To Be Held Under Auspices of Junior Institute.

Judgment was reserved by the ap- pellate court at Osgoode Hall Mon- day in the appeal brought by the at- torney -general's department of On- tario againstthe sentence iniposed upon Gordon Young, former Huron County treasurer, by Police Magis- trate C. A. Reid, of Goderich. "The magistrate ought not. to look at the social position of the accused," stated Joseph Sedgwick, K.C., of the attorney -general's department at Osgoode Hall during the hearing of the appeal, The attorney -general's department claitn, the sentence of 12 months defin- ite to six months indefinite, for, ern- bezzlement and destruction of books and 'records, imposed by Magistrate Reid, was insufficient. !Magistrate Reid, in stating bis rea- sons imposing a light sentence on the former treasurer, pointed out that Young was 68 years old and had pre- viously borne a good character. His salary had been reduced from $1,800 to $1,300 a year and being married with seven children, he had found it impassible to replace the money tak- en. Joseph Sedgwick claimed good so- cial position and good character might agravate rather than paliate the offense. He contended a reforma- tory sentence was intended for a young man who might reform. This contention met with strong opposi- tion from the court and from C. A. Thompson, counsel for Young. "The ordinary intention of the Leg - was that an offense .of this kind should be treated more severe- ly," Mr. Sedgwick proceeded. "There is not a word which indi- cates the magistrate was influenced by social position," stated Mr. Thomp- son, "if he had been a man who ap- propriated the money for g-arnlbling and so.onsitsmight be different." ,Mr. Thompson referred to "broker- age cases" where hundreds of thou- sands of dollars were taken and the heaviest penalty imposeia was three years.
