According to Constable W. 3. Bis-
sett there is trouble in, store for the
drivers of the three horses which
are said to have raced through Main
Street last Saturday ,evening. In the
smash that occurred when they, came
together several of the occupants of
the rigs were injures, one getting a
few ribs broken.
Mr • D. Hartleib, when returning
from Grand Bend last Thursday ev-
ening with an auto load, met with an
accident a few miles west of town
by colliding with a load of, gravel go-
ing in the opposite direction. The
auto was thrown against the fence
with considerable force and in the
mixup Mrs. Chas. Delung, one of the
auto occupants, sustained a fractured
leg and Mr. Hartleib's little son, Har-
ry was cut in the face by a piece
of broken glace from the, wind shield.

parlol there is a row,of young men,
some of them not over 15, waiting:
for a shine. While it is a commend-
able thing to see a young man keep-
ing his shoes shined the question sug-
gests itself, "Why doesn't he do it
himself ?” Probably afraid that he
will dirty his fingers. Perhaps it gives
him a feeling of importance tp puff a
cigarette while some one cleans his
shoes for him.
