GORTON Wiaxton Gets Damages, A rather unusual case ivaq settled at the Winter Assizes at London recent- ly when the town of Wiarton eecured $2,130 front the Canada Furniture Co., which, it was claimed, had not carried out an agreement into which it had entered with the town. When the company came to Wiarton they had guaranteed to fulfil certain stipula- tions, and on this account received a $15,000 bonus. The agreement, it was claimed, had not been carried out to the letter by the company, and, there- fore, the town entered action for damages against the company. By the decision of the court the town was given $2,130 'damages, while the com- pany must bear all the expenses of the action, and enter into a new agree- ment with 'Warton.

Frightened by the barking of a dog, the animal leaped forward on to the back of the horses, frightening them so that they ran away, One of the young men was thrown out and ,the waggon ran over him. The other fell over on the tongue, and everyone thought be would have been killed, but he hung on, and finally crept up on top of the tongue, grasped the lines and stopped the team. The one whom the waggon went over was not seriously hurt. Wireless Saves Lives. In the recent collision at sea be- tween the steamers Republic and Florida, the practical usefulness of wireless telegraphy was demonstrated as never before. Scarcely had the col- lision occurred than the Republic, the only one of the vessels equipped with a wireless telegraph system, began flashing messages broadcast, calling for relief. These messages were pick- ed up not only at- naval stations on the United States coast, but by ships at sea, and in a few minutes no less than seven steamships were, hastening to the relief of the distressed vessels. sefiese ro �A��i�...^.e�+rr�'z��ti"'yp'•r3--urs e,t"Gity bo ✓a � ��ghortbauJ: x G 13uaineee :I:161e go aatorto r-oa,�oo `�y�� lege to be the best kr you. you to iudge'for yourself. obligation.
