been the resort of a very disorderly lot of
characters, and almost every night it lute
been the scene of orgies of the wort dee
scription. The neighbors, 'fearing that
they might be burned out, were afraid to
te,ke.any action against the offenders.
ti
we tme ago Mrs. Elder's brother,
Sandy Fraser, sold his propetty
in town, and has since made his home
with his eister. Burner had it that
he had been in the habit of beating her
in a most Aberneful manner, and had even
threatened to take her life.. On Monday
last Constable Thos. Shoebottora sum-
moned her to appear before a magistrate
for keeping a disorderly house, and her
brother and others as being frequenters,
but before her trial came off she had been
called to a brighter tribunal.
The news of hhr death quickly spread
through Lueknow, and in a short time
many of the neighbors were at the house,
They found the windows barricaded, as if
to resist a Beige. However, entrance was
obtained to the house, where the corpse
was found covered over with a blanket.
She presented a ghastly appearance, the
right arm and side being bruised from
the shoulder down, but on her aloe was
no evidence of ill treatment, In the
kitchen sat her brother, who was in such
a condition from the effects of liquor that
he did not seem to realize the serious
position in which he was placed.
Coroner D. if. GOI•TO'n-,--is. D., visited
the place, and after viewing the body de-
cided that an inquest should be held He
accordingly summoned a jury consisting
of D B McIntosh '(foreman), Chas Stewart,
D Cameron, Robert Hughes, G H
Lawrence, W B Willis, 13 McClure, R
ICroax, Alex Lawson, Wm Bowers, Thos
IVIathill and Jas. Hood. The jury, after
viewing the body, adjourned till yesterday
afternoon. About 30 witnesses were ex-
amined on Thursday by Crown Attorney
Thus Dixon, of Walkerton, and the jury,
after an hour's retirement, returned with
the following verdict ;
"That Jessie Bidet met her death by
injuries inflicted by one Alexander Fraser,"
Constable Shoebottom at once arrested
Fraser and lodged him in the cell, from
wherate he will be tiken to Walkerton to
stand his trial.
