PEIRCY I'A11KiNSON'S SLA YE11 CON-
VICTED.
R al'er Roes. the slayer of Percy Park
1118on, the Usborne young --tan who alias
killed on De:. 9th last ,n a shack near
Ramore, New Ontario, was placed on
trial for his life at North Bay last
week and convicted of murder.
Constable Rowell took the witness
stand and told o= the story that Ross
told him when arrested.
The men had a quarrel over some triv-
ial affair, and, according to the pris-
oner, Parkinson had threatened to kill
hint.
11039 said that he took his rifle and
m -ot at Parkinson.
The constable swore that Parkinson
had a wound In its right car, and that
the bullet which caused the wound was
found embedded In the wall of the shan-
ty about two feet from the g!•ourtd
welch, in his opinion, would go to
show that the dead man had been. lying
down when he was shot at. When last
eeen Parkinson had $75 on him. and
when the body was found his pockets
were empty.
On Dec. Oth Ross went to the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Richards, near by, and
despite the protests of Mrs. Richards
stayed at the house all night, and in
the moieties paid Mrs. Richards j):10
back board that he owed, and gave the
children $2.
I'ractically no defence was put an and
the Jury declared Ross guilty of mur-
der, the judge naming May 20 as the
tate o71.13 els.ut o:, A plea of insanity
tuts since been made and doctors will
eznnl:ne him.

A dog belonging to Mr. Samuel Brock
developed rabies last week and on Sat-
urday became violent and threatened ser-
ious results. elr. Brock had noticed for
some days that the dog was acting
strangely, and fearing It might be mad
he shut it up in the barn. It remained
in the barn until Saturday, when in
some way it got out through the loft.
It then went to the field where the men
were engaged In building a fence. They
noticed that the dog had torp off its
Muzzle and one eye was missing, It hav-
ing apparently clawed it out. One man
struck it with a handspike but the brute
was not ntuch Injured and started off
on the run. with the men In pursuit.
They followed It for about two miles
when it got out of sight. and at last
accounts was still at large. ,going to a
westerly direction.
Of 2:17,,690 homesteads entered in
Canada during the past ten years. 44.91
per cent. were by Americans.

BRUSH AMONG THE BLACKS IN tVHALEN^
TIIE SOUTII.
Tile old-time darktes are without a
doubt among the moat superstitious
people that inhabit the earth.
Brush is the mule owner and proprle-
e'or of a ntlsterious mustache that Is
t'a envy of the :nage-tan at least, and
creates no little continent from people
on the street, and on this occasion was
,attr:'cthne Its usual attention.
It was a Saturday afternoon in Mie-
sls3lpp'. The negro cotton raisers had
came to town with big bales of cotton
to market. The streets were crowded
with blacks, mules. oxen, two -wheeled
carts, little old wagons, and occasion-
ally a white cotton buyer. Brush was
out tektite a little walk and teeing a
nice sample of white fluffy cotton on
the ground near by picked it up and
Started to pullitex it as Is the habit
with the buyers to sac the length of
the fibre and quant;; of the product.
All at once Brush stood still with sur -
prints and pulled front the cotton a
twenty dollar gold piece.. }le was care-
ful to hold it .3 It would glisten, being
conscious that a half hundred black
coag werir turned his way. He tucked
the coin in a .safe place. and went on his
way. On the return he was reminded
of the cothcideet by the pointing of fin-
gers, the whispered conversation and
wild looks turned his way. Sonne of
their eyee fairly ran out on vines. He
reacted over to one darky and pulled
from his tattered coat a dollar, from
another a half and so on around un-
ta' he had more money than he cared
to be bothered with and so stated. He
took eels alter coin and threw them
hither and thither. He overheard one
half-oc.'rted--to-death negro say if 1*
throws one into my clothes I will run:
Some moments Brush let one drive his
way and then said. "I guess 1 had bet-
ter keep that coin." and made a rush
for qtr. Darkey, but he might as well
have tried to catch a scared deer. That
darkey just took to the middle of the
road and made for his country home.
Brush never learned whether he found
the coin or not during a protracted
search among has old clothes atter un-
lressing at home, but it Is pretty cer-
tain he did not. One old darkey In tate
crowd was heard to say, "Alt woodn't
let that mane touch dos nigger. He is
too crafty; he would spoil me and ala
'as got to put In a crop next yeah,
-*huh." in the Exeter Opera House on
April 16th.
It has just been announced that the
entrance examinations will be held a
week earlier this year titan previously.
