Steve Kuper«, an Hungarian. The . men were boarding ip Exeter and . it appears that Warchkonen had arrived home from .work before the others. Later at the top of the • stairs, without any provocation he wielded a hammer and struck Ku- perz a glancing blow on the up- . per jaw, breaking the bone and knocking out one tooth and loosen- . ing several others. The injured man was attended by Dr. Fletcher, i Constables John No try and John Ferguson were called to the sceng. and Warchkonen was placed under; arrest. He was placed in the local . lock-up and the following day was taken to Goderich and was remand-, ed until Thursday of this week for trial. Although the men are of different nationalities we under­ stand that there had been no quar­rel between them at any time. This, it is alleged, is the second offence for Warchkonen in Exeter, A number of weeks ago in another boarding house Warchkonen is said to have broughj^home from work a wrecking bar and with it he at­ tempted to-strike a fellow-country­man ovei* the head. The blow just grazed the man’s cheek. The two had been friends for several years and there had been no quarrel.•’ --------V--------- TRANSFERRED JO TORONTO Mr. J. R.
