Justice Wright, of Toronto, decided
the North Huron election case in
favor of J. W. Zing, the Progressive
candidate in the recent general el-
ections, and directed the Conserva-
tive candidate, George Spotton to
pay the costs. Justice Wright dir-
ects the county judge to detach the
counterfoils from the 342 ballots
which werethrown out, because the
counterfoils were attached, and these
ballots are to be counted. Mr. King

ber. Mr. Spotton has launched an
appeal contending that Justice
Wright exceeded his jurisdiction and
the right to appeal was granted on

THE COUNCIL
Tuesday evening at the close of
the last council meeting for 1925,
Mr. Jos. Senior, the genial and ef-
ficient clerk of the Viilag,e, extended
an invitation to the council and in-
cluded Auditor 1VIawson, John Hind
and H. W. Doerr, chairman exd sec-
retary of the Public Utilities Com-
mission to be his guest at the Rex
Cafe, intimating that he intended to
treat them to a dish, of oysters,
which he certainly* did but he evid-
ently overlooked to state that 'oys-
ters was only a small part of the ap-
petizing repast which he had in
store for ,them. A very sumptuous
banquet was enjoyed by all and to
be coxvinced of this fact was to lis-
ten to the short addresses given by
those present under the direction of
our most 'worthy reeve. They also
attested to the long public service of
their host, at which no one ccttd
point to one unworthy act, and ex-
pressing the hope that genial Joe
would be long spared to serve his
native village. With the singing of
the National Anthem a most excel-
lent and enjoyable evening- was
brought to a close.
FIRE DESTROYS HOME
About three o'clock Saturday
morning fire broke out in the resi-
dence -of Mr. Bert. Harness on Wil-
liam St. and when discovered it was
a mass offlames and beyond con-
trol. The fire was discovered by
Dr. Gibson who smelled the smoke.
Mr. Harness' residence is one side
of Main St. and Dr. Gibson's on the
other. A high wind. was blowing
and the smoke was wafted over the
high buildings and was detected by
Dr, Gibson who turned in ties alarm.
There was" no one in the house at
the time Mr. and Mrs. Harness be-
ing in St. Thomas. They had left
the house about eight o'clock the
previous morning. It was some
time, however, before those Who ar-
rived first on the scene were aware
that the . house was unoccupied,
The origin of the fire is a rnystery.
Very fortunately
during tho previous
evening a slight rain had fallen and.
frozen to the roofs of the buildings.
With the high wind blowing large
cinders rained down on the store
htlildings he the heart of the busi-
ness section, some of the cinders be-
ing carried for several blocks. The.
firemen responded and soon had a
stream of water playing on the fire!
but everything wascompletely des-
troyed. Mr. Harness recently Pur-
chased the house front' Mrs. Perkins: r
He carried some insurance on the!
building anti dontents. Much ' yatl-
po,thy was felt for Mr, and Mrs. Har-
ness, the former being a returned
veteran, now under :. pension for
wounds received. On :Saturday the
Soldiers' -:Aid presented him with a
cheque for $100 end a subscription
was taken tip ,anuountirtg to over
$475.00. While the fire bell 'Was
being rung unfortunately tho rope
broke and many of the citizens wore
