There has just boon lodged in the
Stratford gaol a young man who for hie
age of 18 or 10 yeare has displayed a re-
markably vienotie propensity. The
young man's name is said to be Charles
Steeley. He was brought to Befit oonntry
by some of the immigration societies or
homes sending children from England
to Canada, and about a year and a half
et two years ago he was hired b Wtn.
Dew, of the 0011 eon, of Bibbed fie left
1\4r, Dow's last fall and went to Hugh
Kennedy's for the winter. For some
reason which bus not yet come to light -
possibly feeling that he had been wroug-
ed or ill.used 10 sumo way -he harbored
e deep.rootecl spite against 211'. I)ow.
Between 2 and 3 o'clock last 'Wednesday
mornine n,• entered Bir, Non's house
armed with a heavy club. Leaving his
bouts fn the woodshed, he put on a pair
of rubbers and walked right into Mr.
1)uw'e bourouin. kis first etruele 21r.
Dow on the face with his heavy club,
making an ugly wound. The next blow
fell on Mr, Dow's hand, wltioh wns
thrown up in defence. Ivirs. Dow by this
time waked up, end ou rising from her
pillow received a heavy blow ea the
breast. The fellow then became alarmed
at the noise he had made, and rushed out
of the house to the barn, whish he fired
and had ablaze in a few minutes. On
seeing the fire the inmates of the house
rushed out, end had just time to get the
the live stook out of the burning building.
The been was a largo and splendid build-
ing and contained a large quantity of
bay and several hundred bushels of
wheat, oats and pees, besides sundry
implements. All the hay and grain sou•
tents, with 0120 calf, were burned, and
the loss will be heavy as there was only
$400 or $.500 of insurance on the whole
thing. The lose is pat by some at $1,•
700. Steeley was arrested by Constable
Farrow' of Mitchell, and taken before
Magistrate Flagg, who committed him
to the county gaol _to await his trial.
When asked why he committed the
dreadful deed 115 admitted that while
living with Mr. Dow he was well treated
but said that Dow owed him some money
which he refuel to pay. Inquiry at the
Boyo' Home, Stratford, elicited the fast
that cue of Miss Maopherson's boys had
been placed with a farmer named Staffa,
in Hibbert Township. The home
authorities had not heard of the affair
and could not say whether the boy was
one of theirs. Steeley has since been
sentenced by Judge Woods to ten years
imprisonment.
