Happiness For Tired Women
Thousands of young women become tired out and
run down, become thin and pale, and profound weak
ness makes life a burden.
The whole outlook of life is changed when the
nervous, sick headaches, the sleeplessness, the spells
of dizziness, of weakness and discouragement, and the
tired, languid feelings disappear with the use of Mil
burn’s Heart and Nerve Pills. They tone up the
nerves, enrich, the blood, and bring the health back
to normal again.

All day there was tense feeling
about the historic county building

the treasurer’s office was padlocked
and last night a guard stood outside
all night.
To-day, Mr. Young’s house was
searched by the police and records
seized. An incipient blaze in the
county buildings yesterday added to
anxiety of Warden Ballantyne and
Reeve Goldthorpe, who represented
the iCounty Council at the probe. In
'mid-afternoon today the decision was
made to make the arrest. The pro
ceedings were conducted quietly. Mr

GODERICH, Aug. 18.'—^Something
of a sensation was caused here late
this afternoon with the arrest of Gor
don Young, Treasurer of Huron Co.
and one of the county’s best known
citizens, on three charges against the
Criminal Code; theft of $2,400, des
truction and multilation of books and
records, and failing to account for
moneys and property of the County of
Huron.
Mr. Young jvas formally arraigned
this morning before William Baillie.
J. P., in the absence of the Magis
trate Reid. .He was not asked to
plead or elect, and was granted bail
in the sum of $10,000. furnished by
Sarah Young and A. W. Young. Ac
cused was represented by F. Donnelly
and the Crown by D E. Holmes. The
informations were sworn to by P. E.
The
town buzzing with talk. He has scores
of relatives in this section whose an
tecedents date back to the Canada
Company. <He is a prominent Lib
eral, and was ten years ago Reeve
of his native township, Colborne, and
sat in County Council. In 1927 he
was appointed County Treasurer suc
ceeding William Lane. Prevously Mr
Young was a prominent agriculturist
and still owns two farms.
After the warrant for the arrest
had been issued. Warden Ballantyne
said he was glad it was now in the
hands of the Courts. He commented
on the fact that year after year aud
itors had reported the books in or
der. and said that at the recent June
session, he had demanded a special
audit by chartered accohntants be
cause of the discrepancy in outstand
ing cheques at the close of the years
1931 and 1932, respectively amount
ing to $1,400.
“Mr. Young has admitted in a sign
ed statement, defalcations of $2,400”
said Warden Ballantyne. “The audit
ors report a shortage of over $7,000.
The cancelled cheques can’t be found
and there is absolutely no trace ot
these payments. At today’s inquiry
he refused to make further state
ments on advice of counsel, but we
allege he appropriated the proceeds
of $700 of Provincial Highway coun
ty debentures tot his own use. Today
he was questioned closely on further
alleged shortages of $1,800.”
Warden Ballantyne said so far the
audit covered only the year 1932 and
the first five months of 1933.
“I am calling a special meeting of
County Council within a weeki or ten
days,” the Warden added, “to ap
point a successor to Mr. Young and
to decide how far back the present
audit should go, to the date of Mr
Young’s appointment six years ago or
still further.
Instituted an Audit
At the June session Warden Ballan-
tyne said he refused to Sit longer in
the chair if a special audit was not
granted. The debate lasted two days
and the arrangement for the probe
into county finances was left to the
Warden’s* committee, of which Reeve
Goldthorpe is chairman, with power
to act.
Mr. Young’s appointment was a
political one. Huron County Council
dividing in the county chamber in
to groups of Liberals and Conserva
tives, sitting on either side. In 1927
the year of the appointment, the Lib
erals had the majority.
