A. joint deputation front the Retail
Merchants' Association and the citi-
zens, waited on the Council with re-
ference to the Western Foundry. Mr.

object was not to dictate to the Coun-
cil, but to ascertain if it was possible
to arrange an amicable settlement of
the matter in dispute and avoid litiga-
tion. The deputation consisted of
Messrs. Musgrove, Dulmage, Dr. Ir-
win, Isard, Griffin and Greer.
Hanna—D. Bell—That the Council
meet the Citizens' committee at once
to talk over the matter referred to—
carried.
The Connell then adjourned and
conferred with the committee. It was
deckled to ask the President of the
Western Foundry Co. to come up at
once and meet the Council in order to
effect, if possible, an equitable settle-
ipent.
WINGHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1906. $1.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE
THE RIPLEY FIRE. Auction Sale.
On the north half of lot 10, Con. 3,
(From Ripley Express.)
Four clays after the Ripley fire, Geo,
Fletcher called on the Express and
registered his sympathy for those who
suffered loss by the Ripley fire. To-
day the said Geo. Fletcher is behind
the prison bars in Walkerton jail,
charged with the fiendish act of theft
and indendiarisnl.
STORY 011 TIIE CILIME.
Tho morning of the fire, February
1st, it was the universal opinion of our
citizens that Angns McLean's barber
shop had been raided. The bottle of
face -wash found in the hotel sheds
gave the first clue. It was plain that
the thief had forgotten a portion of
his booty. Tho bottle bad not been
hidden ; it was at the entrance to the
sheds, where it had apparently been
forgotten. This discovery led to a
search of the ruins, the irons on the
barber's old chair were found, but the
iron of the new one was missing. The
razors were also gone; no glass could
ba found from the large mirror ; and
the evidence was complete. Suspicion
at once centered on an outsider, and
that suspicion pointed strongly to
Geo. Fletcher, farmer and semi-profes-
sional barber, but the good character
of the young man only saved him
from immediate arrest. Fletcher con-
tinued to pay his weekly visits to Rip-
ley, and did not fail to call regularly
on the Express to hear if any person
was suspected of the crime. Fletcher
particularly sympathised with Dr. F.
McLennan, who lost $500 worth of in-
struments and drugs. On Thursday
he attended prayer meeting and took
in the hockey match. He made few
friends, seldom spoke, and was con-
sidered as rather an innocent young
roan.
QUICK, MARCH
TIIE ARREST.
On Monday of last week informa-
tion was received that Fletcher was
in possession of a barber's outfit. De-
tective Murray was sent for, and on
Saturday, in company with County
Constable Thos. Moore, drove to Flet-
rn s Moore
h m,• home where
Thomas C C S
promptly placed hint under arrest.
When asked if he had the barber's
chair anis razors he denied all know-
ledge of the whole affair. On search-
ing the house, the missing razors, to-
gether with strops, towels, etc., were
found. There was, however, no trace
of the new hydraulic chair but Flet-
cher's father stated that the prisoner
had a chair of that description on the
premises and had taken it to pieces in
the stable. The prisoner was brought
to Ripley and appeared before Magis-
trates Martyn and Long and remand-
ed to Walkerton jail.
THE BROOKS FIRE.
George Brooks, who had his barn
burned a year ago, had a set of har-
ness stolen a few weeks before the
fire. He also lost a set of harness that
been
burned
m
was supposed d to have
P1
with the contents of his barn. Hear-
ing that Fletcher had sold a set of
harness at a neighbor's sale, he Strove
to the purchaser's home and identified
his property. A search warrant was
issued and in company with Constable
Moore, a search of Fletcher's bedroom
revealed the startling facts that Mr.
Brooks had discovered the harness
that was in his barn a few hours be-
fore it was burned. Fletcher will now
be asked to answer to the second
charge of theft and incendiarism.
Mr. Thomas Fletcher, father of the
prisoner, is highly respected, and con-
siderable sympathy is felt for him and
other members of the family.

For Starving Japanese.
Last Sunday a collection was taken
in \Vinghain Methodist Sunday School

sult of the appeal to the School was a
collection of $32.62. This, added to
the Church collection of $51, makes

"At Home."
On Tlmrsday evening last, Mr. and
Mrs. F. Buchanan were "at home" to
Mr. Buchanan's Class, in the lecture
room of the Methodist church. After
a tasty lunch, there was a short pro-
gram of addresses and music. This
was followed by an hour of social con-
versation. The room was prettily ar-
ranged with flowers and curtains to
make it attractive and home -like.
Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan spared no ef-
fort to make the "at home" a success,
and those present report an enjoyable
event.

fine horse and many friends, to reside

• High School Board.
A meeting of the High School Board
was held on Monday evening. It last-
ed until a late hour, but the chief busi-
ness transacted was the consideration
of plans, and the engagement of Mr.

the building is likely to cost more
than was expected. The architect
was present, and on Tuesday looked
over the ground, and will prepare
plans and specifications. Mr. Simp-

mittee of the Board of Education, To-
ronto, and drew op the plans for Mid-

A Serious Fall.
On Tuesday evening, Principal Mus-

have resulted in a broken limb. At
the close of the School Board meeting,
in company with the Trustees, he was
leaving the Town hall, and when near
the doorway his feet caught in some-
thing and he was thrown forward
-down the steps on to the cement walk.
It was feared that his face would be
badly bruised, and either arra or leg
broken, but one knee seems to have
received the brunt of the heavy fall.
A physician was sunnnoned, and he
was token to his is home.
It is hoped
he will soon recover from the effects
of the accident. There will be no
school in the Pr'incipal's department

not exert themselves, they won by a

Presentation.
Before the removal of Mr. Jno. Rob-
inson to the west, his fellow -workmen
of the Western Foundry met at his
home one evening and presented him
with a Morris reclining chair, accom-
panied by the following address. The
w^^^^^+ address was read by P. J. Logne and
The Foundry Affair.
Up to the time of writing this para-
graph, there has been no settlement
of the difficulty between the Council
and the Foundry. We are informed
that Dr. Allen, President of the Co.,
will meet the Council next Wednesday
evening, and we are still hopeful that
the Councillors who appear desirous
of harsh measures, will take A more
favorable view of the matter and
avoid rushing the Town into litiga-
tion. Of that, no ratan can predict
with certainty the result, nor estimate
the probable law costs, if the Town
should lose. The industry is here and
is a benefit to the Town, and the
manager informs us that the Co. has
no intention of removing, if the Town
will deal fairly with them in the mat-
ter. That the industry is an impor-
tant one to the Town will be seen
from the fact that in 1905 there was
paid out in wages, $28,411.97. This is
a large amount of money to be put
into circulation in this vicinity, and it
is worth while encouraging such to
continue. A. report has been
circulat-
ed rculat-
ed to the effect, that dividend of 14%
had been paid. We are informed that
there has never been a dividend paid
on the common stock, nor has a direc-
tor drawn any fee for his services.
The Co. has this difficulty to contend
with :—They pay considerably more
for in -bound freight per 100 lbs. than
their competitor's, and freight bills in-
wards last year amounted to $5440.45.
Owing to the distance from the cen-
tres, Hamilton, Toronto, etc., to se-
cure the trade, an allowance on freight
outwards must also be made, so that
freight inwards and outwards runs up
to nearly one-fourth of the total busi-
ness. These are things the people
should know, and these facts should
be taken into consideration by the
Council in dealing with the question.
The Co. can easily secure inducements
to locate in a more central position,
and if the Council adheres to the pro-
cedure to which it seems committed,
there is a danger that the Co. may
select a location elsewhere, revert to
the old agreement with the Town for
purchase, and perhaps keep the works
open with the 25 men employed until
the end of the term, so as to claim the
