A sensational story, reflecting onthe
good name and character of George
Tuffin, sof near Stella, was in circula-
tion. throughout this community last
wenn, The ;first heard of it here was
on Tuesday and the telephones rang
in, from all directions to ascertain fhe
authenticity of the report. The Ad-
vocat, at once sought to get direct in-
formation and phoning to Stella as-
ce.rtained that it was unfounded. It
appears that the story took its rise
from an item appearing, in the Mitch-
ell Advocate, taken from an, iasue of
1866, in. which .one A. .Tuffin, in ai
quarrel stabbed a man named Peilow,
and a reader of the article got a
wrong fmvressioa. A sensation of this
kind naturally creates a big stir in a
law-abiding community, and needless
to say .it .l>'ad that effect here:
