Slight Concussion Ronald Stainton, eight year old son of Rev. J. H. and Mrs. Stainton had the misfortune to fall while playing on Wednesday afternoon of last week and sustained a slight concussion of the brain. He was at­ tended by Dr. Weekes. After being confined to his bed for a. couple of days ho was again able to be around. This was Ronald’s second accident as a few days before he was sliding on an incline at the rear of the Ford garage in an old fender when he fell off and was somewhat bruised. Several Exeter lads have found to their sorrow that BB guns can get them into a lot of trouble. The lads were having a lot of fun shoot­ ing out small window pane© in an old building until the proprietor came along and caught the boys- in the act. He salvaged the gun and released it again after the boys had replaced sixteen panes of glass.

Mr. Payne was calling at the resi­ dence of Mr. Herbert Ford, Huron St., when the horse evidently got tired waiting and started for the Main St. at a lively clip. It pro­ ceeded eastward for three and three quarter miles then turned south to Elimville and then started for home. Mr. Melville Skinner, who was re­ turning to his home in "Osborne caught the horse and took it to the farm of Richard Johns. In the meantime Mr. Jones and Mr. Payne had searched the community by auto but failed to locate the animal. The horse was fed and cared for and in the evening was brought home none the worse for its escapade. MEN ON RABBIT HUNT HAVE BIG BLOW OUT Discharge of Gun Blows Tire A jack! rabbit drive was held near Ciediton on Saturday afternoon of lost week. The drive was arranged by Fred Kerr and F. Delbridge. Among the party were five Toronto men Dr. O. Elliott, Bill Wood, Roy Handers, F. Amble and Gordon Mil­ ler. All report a fine time, al­ though only 45 jacks were bagged as the ground had been gene over on a previous occasion. Bill Woods was high man and it is stated that whilq Dr. Elliott did not get the largest bag of rabbits he got such a huge specimen that he had to arrange to have another member of the party shoot simultaneously from the other side. A.ft.er a long hunt the men prepared to drive back to Credibon and offered a lift to one of the hunt­ ers who proceeded to unload his gun. Two loud reports followed in quick succession, one the gun and the other a tire on the rear wheel through which the charge had passed leaving a big hole. Leaving the driver to repair the damages the party pro­ ceeded on foot to Crediton.
