Stale Horse arid Buggy
A Howick farmer drove to Clifford last
Saturday evening and put his horse and
buggy in the shed while he transacted his
business at the stores. An hour or so
later, when he was ready to go home he
discovered that his outfit bad been
atolan. The police in the neighboring
towns were immediately notified, and the
guilty party, a young man from Hamil-
ton, was arrested at Palmerston on Sun-
day afternoon, Constable Maurer of
Clifford took the prisoner to the Guelph
jail on Monday.
No Mahogany Chair&
On April 6 in the Legislature before the
orders of the day were called Hon. Mann-
ing Doherty arose on a question of privil-
ege to contradict reporti of extravagant
expenditure for elaborate furniture in his
private room at the Parliament buildings.
Dozens of newspapers, he said, has Atated
that among the articles in his room were
a mahogany chair coating $185 and a mah-
ogany rocker at $190.
,-Those articles were never in the room
and were never purchased by the depart-
ment of public works for the room," said
Mr. Doherty.
He added that anything he wanted he
was quite capable of getting himself.
Fatally Pounded by Wheel
Wedged between a wheel and the spring
of his buggy, and the horse standing in
the barnyard attached to the carriage,
John Voted, aged 27. a farmer on the
Durham road. near Riversdale, was found
dead on Satlirday morning by his brother.
The young man went to visit John : Mc-
Glynn, on the 12th concession of Culr�ss,
on Friday night and left there about lo
o'clock to go home. For the last year
Valad had been in the habit of driving the
horse without a bit in the bridle and it is
thought that the animal suddenly started
and threw him forward in such a manner
that he fell bead downward between the
wheel and the buggy spring. How far
the horse travelled before reaching home
is rot knpwn. A wound on the headin-
dicated that Valad had been kicked while
in the auspended,position. The spoke& of
the wheel also pounded the victim.
Dr. GillieB of Teeswater was called,
but decided that an inquest was un-
necessary. Mr. Valad was unmarried
and in addition to his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Peter Valad, is survived by several
brothers and sisters. The funeral was
held on Monday.
Raney May Quit
I Rumors that the Hor�. W. E. Raney was
about to resign have got under the way so
frequentIv andhave persisted so stFadily
without any sign of the attorney -gen ral
giving up hispost that fresh reports to
that effect have for some time been taken
with more than a few grains of salt.
Recently. however, the talk in the lob-
bies of the House has been unusuaally
definite and most of it is traced back to
the Government side of the House, The
latest rumor is that Mr. Raney will retire
some time after the present session.
It is said that the attomey-general has
bad to put up with some plain talk in cau-
cus from some of the Government support-
ers, who feel that he is getting the coali-
tion into difficulties, and that he is getting
to the point where he is about to throw
up the job and go back to private pratice.
