It looked more like a western round -up in
Clinton last Wednesday night than a
peaceful, quiet Canadian small town, as
dozens of police, would-be cowboys, and
spectators watched the great cattle round-
up. Seven heifers owned by Jim Radford of
Londesboro roamed town 'for three hours
after they escaped from a truck.
Local lODE organizer Colleen Phillips
warned that some public schoolchildren are
illegally posing as canvassers, asking for

the groundhog seeing his shadow on Friday
last in this locality, if he or they mustered up
courage to come out and look for it, Friday
being the first day that we had had several
hours of steady sunshine for. severar. Weeks``. '
on end. The weather, too, since then has•
been true -to form, the weekend being stor-
my and cold. But we usually have six weeks
Of winter after the second of February and
will be well -pleased if spring should come

artery having been severed by the -blade of a
passing skater at the West Street rink, Miss
'Mildred Wilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Wilson; and at present a nurse -in -
training at Alexandra Hospital in Goderich
had to be put to bed the beginning of this
week. •
The accident was peculiar in that the iden-
tity of the offender is not'known.
Miss Wilson was skating with an escort at
the time and suddenly became weak . and
had to be assisted from, the ice. Examina-
tion showed blood to be streaming from a'
gash in her leg midway between the ankle
and knee and the stocking was badly torn.

ed to the hospital. The cut is a deep one and
bled much.

Although there are eight persons confined
in the county jail as vagrants, outside help
has been found necessary to saw 30 cords of
wood for the use of the building, not one of
these unfortunates being able to cut a°stick
of wood. This state of affairs has not existed
here for many years, and it shows that our
county institution for crime has become
practically an hospital and poor house.
