GYPSY BAND ARRESTED AFTER GYRING FARMER Woman Fortune Teller Found Hidden in Auto I I). 1). G. M. MACKAY VISITS II as were a Craig answer farmer Three auto loads of gypsii brought to Exeter from Ails on Friday of last week to to a complaint of an Usborne who missed a sum of money after ore of the women members of the band had told his fortune, Constables W. J. Bissett and Ed. Willis both received information over the telephone from Farquhar that a gypsy band had relieved T. Austin of a sum of money. Both men set out to apprehend the party. Mr. Bissett, with John Hunkin, in the' latter’s car, trailed a band of three cars to Dashwood, Crediton and came up with them the other side of Ailsa Craig. Mr. Bissett pursuad- ed them to return to Exeter with him. There were four men and three women in the party and Mr. Austin failed to recognize the woman who had relieved him of his money. In with th el­ and were the leaders of the band with them to Exeter. When Mr. Austin failed to identify the woman among the party in Exeter he was taken to Zurich to look over in that company, but, her there, the party Exeter and a search of made. Curled ncath a ding the Constable Whitesides, who had been called from Goderich, had arrived on the scene. Mr. Austin identified the woman as the one who had read his fortune but could not be sure that she had taken his money.

There were about 23 mem­ bers jn. the party apprehended by Mr. Bissett and 21 in the party de­ tained by Mr. Willis. In one party was a mother with a three day’s old babe.

TO REMODEL JAMES STREET UNITED CHURCH At a recent meeting of the official -board of the James St. < United church it was decided to proceed with the installation of a ne\y heat­ ing system for the church and for the remodelling of the basement and the changing of the main entrance to the auditorium, $ie whole cost of which is estimated in the neighbor­ hood of $8,000.

For a number of years one class of junior pupils has been housed in the base­ ment of the public library and the library board have asked that the room be vacated. The question of increased accommodation at the school has been a controversial one for several years. At the request of the Board of Education members of the council and a representative committe of citizens visited the sch­ ool to get first hand information as to the conditions and the report brought back was to the effect that additional accommodation should be provided to alleviate the present congestion. It has been felt by many that a separate building for the accomodation of the smaller children, where they might be off by themselves should be provided. Such a building should meet the educa­ tional needs of Exeter for many years to come. A copy, of the pro­ posed by-law appears on another page of the Times-Advocate. new four-room public to be submitted to the of Exeter on Monday, The question came be- BASEBALL LEAGUE FORMED A baseball meeting was held in Hensall on Thursday, May 17th last for the purpose of organizing a lea­ gue.
