Malcolm's PHONE 54 Brussels. At the 4th Division Court, held here on Wednesday before Judge Holt, an unusual case and one that aroused no small interest was on the docket. A. 0, Dames of Brussels load- ed a car of export cattle at Walton C. P. R. yard for shipment to St. John's on the understanding that the, trains were in running order. A snow blockade prevented the convey- ance of the car for 11 days and Mr. Dames claimed $76 for car and keep of shipment as the cattle had to be un- loaded after several days wait and fed at a farmer's barn. The C. P. R. put in the plea that the storm was an act of God and consequently they were not responsible. A jury was called and the case occupied all afternoon. Barrister Vanstone of Wingham ably conducted the plaintiff's side and Bar- rister Walker of London upheld the Company's contention with vigor. Numerous witnesses were called and the jury charged by both lawyers and Judge, and about 6 p. m. finding was given for Mr. Dames for amount ask- ed. It is said the 0. P. R. may appeal. Mr. Kerr, editor of the Post, thus refers to an explosion which took place in his home :—On Saturday morning, immediately after breakfast, a Kootney steel range, with water- front and attaching pipes to the bath- room upstairs. blew up in the kitchen of the home of the editor of The Post. There was a terrible noise like the fir- ing of a cannon and quick as a flash the room was filled with flying miss - les of iron and steel, fire, ashes, etc., the force of the explosion blowing out two windows and leaving the range a mass of scrap iron. Mr. Kerr and his sister-in-law, Miss Kay, of Winnipeg, were instantly thrown prostrate to the floor, the former receiving a damaged limb and foot, with a hole rent in his clothing, where a flying piece of metal bored into his back. Miss Kay was struck on the head and a gash of an inch or so cut. There was no time to think of wounds or bruises, however, as fires were start- ing in a score of places on the lino- leum, carpet, tablecloth, cushions, etc. Water was conveniently near and the danger of a conflagration was soon set aside and the floor was immediate- ly converted into a miniature skating rink with Jack Frost's assistance through the broken windows. Mrs. Kerr had been on the sick list with lumbago ancl,was in her bedroom up- stairs and consequently escaped un- hurt and has not had lumbago since. The cause of the explosion was a frozen pipe between the ceiling and upstairs floor. Flying pieces of the stove cut portions of the fancy top off the cabinet organ while others of lower range pounded the front and severed the pedal strap from the same instrument. Stove lids, dishes and stove -pipes visited the ceiling with unusual celerity, leaving their mark, and pans on the pantry wall came tumbling down. Portions of the range were found at the front door of the house in the hall, while ashes and soot covered everything. It was our first experience of the kind and sin- cerely hope it will be the last. 57-62 The Critical Age.
