FEATHERS
WERE READY TO BE APPLIED
TO JOE 000$,.
Several Hundred Citizens Surround
The House
But the Wayward Man Oould not
Be Found,.
The people of Clinton have always
been noted for good conduct and well
kuown as an orderly, peaceable and
law abiding town.
A few weeks apo THE NEWS -RECORD
mentioned that two citizens—a man
and a woman—had euddenly and some-
what mysteriously left Clinton. We
said on May 24th :—
"Homan WaE•roitEs.—The father of seven
children and the young mother of two, eloped
from Clinton last week. The woman took
her youngest along. Tar and feathers would
be none too good for the couple who have so
inhumanly left the little children. The
Coolish pair, it is said, drove to Brucefield
Friday night and bought tickets Saturday
morning for Port Huron. The mother and
father left will have the sympathy of our
people—for those who have disgraced them
selves, nothing but contempt."
The man, Joseph Cook, returned to
town as THE NEws•REoORD stated last
week. Ho had been in town a couple
of days, when on Tuesday evening of
last week several hundred citizens,
among them we are assured some of
the best in town, surrounded his place
of abode, knocked at the door quietly
and enquired for Mr. Cook. The
party were assured that Mr. Cook was
absent. • Ho and another "gentleman"
were in hiding a abort distance off, un-
known of course to the crowd. The
Wednesday morning train going south
conveyed Mr. Cook to London. The
crowd, from what we can learn, were
not tit all excited. They simply meant
to forcibly express their indignation.
While we cannot countenance mob law
in any Wm, there was considerable
inducetnent in this case. And i`f all
reports aro true the end is not yet.
We hoar reports of a man alleged to be
living in a state of adultery who may
fall a prey to the popular feeling
against wrong -doing. Clinton is. cer-
tainly not the silent or happy abode for
such people.
FRUIT SHIPPING.—Cantelon Bros.
continue. to male large shipments of
small fruits, principally cherries. Dur-
ing the past week they have shipped
on an average of over two h udred
baskets a day. And they !rave a
market for 1,000 baskets a day if they
could procure them.
A SAD ERRAND.—Dr. and firs.
Canrpell, of Detroit, were called to
VVinghaniMondey through the death of
the former's mother at Wingham last
Saturday. The deceased was well up
in years, death resulting from paralysis.
Returning, Mrs. Campbell remained
in Clinton a short tithe under the
parentaliroof—Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Fair.
WELco n To HON J. C. PATTERSON,,
—The Hon. J. C. Patterson, Minister
of Militia, Mrs. Patterson, Mies Pat-
terson, Miss Kathleen Patterson, Mise
Annie Patterson and Mr. Jarvis,
private secretary, and Mrs. Jarvis,
arrived at • the Point Farm at 3
o'clook Saturday afternoon. A salute
was fired from _the one -gun battery as
the party drove up to the door, while
a general welcome was extended by
the numerous guests present.
FRis1Y YOUNG MEN.—Last Thurs-
day Mr. Christopher Dale, of Hullett,
had one Sproat and one Spain before
magistrates McGarva and .Steep. Mr.
Dale, an elderly gentleman, was
married a second time recently and a
.number of young men went the wrong
way about giving the bride and grootn
a send off. They demanded money,
fired off gone, singed Mr. Dale's hair
with burning powder, and resorted to
many other unlawful acts. The fine
was placed at $5 and coats and $10
damages—$19.50 in all. The young
men should be thankful that they
escaped with their lives, for many a
man would resort to the use of danger-
ous weapons in self defence.
STEEL RANGES.—Many farmers in
this section, we are informed, have and
are purchasing American steel ranges.
The price averages about $74. We
are Surprised that the farming com-
munity will bite at each prieee. Steel
ranges, as good as can be made, are
manufactured in Canada and sold in
'Clinton for $25 lase. Farmers that
cannot pay the cash to foreigners will
he ready to give their notes. Every
day our farther friends are warned
against being deceived by the -hundred
and one humbug,. All hauls hoard of
the seed wheat, hay fork and picture

cess.

BOLI] ROBBEIIS GAFTIJREB,
A HAND TO HAND OONFLIOT
AT BEUOEFIELD;
"Merchant Wm. Scott was up early
Sunday Morning..
Last Sunday morning at au unseem-
ly hour -about 1 o'clock—a light and
two men were .discovered in the store
of Mr. Wur. Scott, general merchant,
Brucefield, The alarm was quietly
given to the owuer and by the time the
bold robbers had made thein selections
and concealed on their persons a
liberal supply of goode, there were con-
gregated outside a good number of •
Brucefleld citizens ready to receive the
theives with open arms.
The first desperado captured is
said to be one Charles Prince, a
low set man, dark features and whisk•
ers, disfigured left eye, humpbacked,
and generally speaking a hard looking
character. Ho is probably 40 years of
age and 5 feet 4 in height. lie offered
some resistence and the shooting iron
he attempted to "draw" upon his captors
,proved • to be a large solid iron chisel.
Andrew Scott, eon of the complainant,
captured Prince's pal, whose name is
given ae Joseph Green': He is a de-
termined looking character, aged about
30 --low sot and dark complexion.
Both of course wer6llloaded down with
goods consisting of shoes, souks, watches,
knives, vets,
handkerchiefs, ties, to
bacco, candy, and various articles of
clothing„ A rig was procured and
early Sunday morning both birde were
placed securely behind the bars in
Clinton lock up. They are said to hail
from Toronto.
The information •was, laid by Mr.
Scott, of Brucefield, and the case was
heard before Mayor McTaggart and
J. McGarva, J. P.'a., Monday morning,
Mr. Scott testified to th particulars as
above and identified a vest from his
store being taken off one of the prison -
hi Clinton.
Tho pr•isouers did not enter any plea
and weree; scut up to Goderich to
await trier.
Their kit of burglars tools consisted
of files, chisels, a broken table knife;
lock picks, a double key filed to fit
store door lock, &o.
Among the kit was a note book with
several pages of entry, but much of the
writing coipld not be decipher. Among
other things our reporter could make
out was :—"Mongolian by Captain Bar-
rett, Liverpcol," and "Frank Brady,
New Bedford, Mass." They have
evidently been in the burglar business
for some time. Mr. Scott and friends
are to bo congratulated on capturing
such undesirable visitors.

the thief watched Mrs. Cook lock up
the house and come up town, and,
knowing that she would not likely be
back until her husband had returned
from the 9 o'clock train, he seized
upon the opportunity to gratify his
taste for sweet things. No doubt the
soap was used to wash down the pre-
serves,

at the hands of Mrs. Miller, of that vil-
lage. The trial was set for Thursday
last,but the case was settled out of court
by Mrs. Miller paying $2.5 and signing
an apology, which, as agreed, appears
in another column. We might lust
say that Mrs. Miller got off very easily
as the face that Money' carries, together
with the eircum'stances of the affair,
warranted severe punishment 'being
meted out to the offender. Mr, Money
deserves future kindness from Mrs.'
Miller, rather than her enmity, for his
proposing to settle the matter.
