Robinson is Heavy Loser; Adjoining Buildings Saved—Brus. sets Fire Brigade Respond to Call The village of Wroxeter was visit- ed by one of the worst conflagrations in its history Friday evening' when the brick block, composed of two stores with a residence above, owned and occupied by Wm. Robinson, was completely destroyed with the entire contents. Tho fire was first noticed at 7.25 by two boys, who thought it was a reflection in the window but on closer ilivestigation, saw there was a serious fire. They quickly gave the alarm, to which the community readily respond- ed. As Mr, Robinson and family had left some twenty-five minutes prev- ious to spendthe evening with rela- tives at Jamestown, the only way to gain admittance to the butldiur, was by breaking in one of the -front doors, which was quiekly done, but those present were greeted with such dense clouds of smoke tbitt they were powerless to clo anything and the building was soon a roaring furnace. As there was a strong west wind blowing, the people directed their of-` forts to saving the adjacent build- ings, in which they were sueosesful. The glass fronts on the opposite side of the street, in Davey's grocery, Allan's drug store, Munro's general Miss Bowl's fancy goods, and 1t. 3.� Rann's house and telephone of- fice worn all broken by the intense haat.- As the latter building is frame and was in the direct, Course of the wind, it was badly scorched and the interior of the building seriously damaged by water. 'fork's Miss Howe's stock and R. S :furniture stock, were .moved to a , safety zee°, as was the Pinkert) from several homes, and were replan - cd later when the danger was past. A great deal of damage was done to goods and furniture in the rapid ex- it. The Bruses's chemical fire engine was telephoned for and soon arrived, and, with a volunteer bucket brigade forming a !me to the aver, the fire was kept from spreading. Had it not been for the moisture caused by the recent rains, very little of the east end of the village would have escaped destruction. Mr. Robinson came here from Tara eighteen years ago, and has had a very successful general business, and much sympathy is expresed for him- self' and family in their severe lose, which is estimated at $13,000 with an insurance of $6500. The, origin of the fire, which gain- ed such headway in so short a time., is unknown, but is thought to have been caused by an explosion in the furnace, Prominent Member I Dies at Mitchell William Forrester, Ex -M.

TWO INDIANS ARE HELD IN M'KAY SLAYING Motive or Killing of Young Farmer h Still a Mystery FEAR FOUL PLAY IN SON'S DEATH No Trace Yet Found of Body of Frank Scrimgeour of Blyth Tiverton, Oct. 25.—'Two Indian:, named Crow, have been arreste.i in connection with the death of Greet McKay, farmer, about 25 years of age, son of Rev. George McKay, who was shot and instant, 'killed in the woods about four miles from this vil- lage last evening. No motive has been advanced for the shooting, turd it is said that McKay and his com- panions ware on good terms with the Indians in the vicinity. McKey's party about seven o'clock in the evening canto upon a shack built by some Indians from the Sau- ;een Reserve. As they approached, impelled by curiosity, two Indians came out of the shack, one of them, known as Dr. Crow, carrying a torch. The other carried a gun, and he de- liberately fired into McKay s party of four young men, Meiiay was struck and died almost instantly. His friends n.ppealed to Dr. Crow to roue over with his torch, but when he saw what had 'happened the Indian doctor returned to the shack, and presently he and three other Indians were scan to leave the woods, get into an automobile and drive awn;;. MclittY was unmarried. Se .Err ns can be learned there was no provoca- tion, Local pollee removed: the body to the village undertakers, and the Provincial Police were notiil'd of the °ecurronde, ellyth, Ont., Oct. 22—Mr. and Mrs. Scrimgeour, who went, to Detroia last week on receiving word of the drown- ing of their son, Frank. returned on Friday, but as yet no trace of the body has been found, The circum- stances seem very peculiar as, at the placed he was supposed to be drown- ed, the water is only about five feet in depth and a sandy bottom and there Is no undercurrent. They have almost come to the conclusion that there was foul play, and the parents are asking for an Investigation. THE MAITLAND PRESBYTERIAL W.M.S. HOLDS SUCCESSFUL MEETING Maitrand Presbyterial W.

Owing to •the short crop of apples this year, the Huron County Fruit - growers' Council has decided not to hold the annual fruit show usually held in November. Judgment Given. A judgment was given out that is of ditnsidevable interest not only to the farmers who sell eggs but to those who buy then. A new egg grading law which is being enforced through- out the Dominion was in considerable disfavor when first introduced, but has been found to work out well both for those who make a business of keeping poultry and from the stand- point of the buyer, But apparently It is being objected to and judgment in a stated ease was given by Justice Grant at Osgoodc, Hall recently that the Parliament of Canada had no authority to enact such a law and that statute in this respect is ultra vires. Hunting Season for Big Game. fibra, s foilsmen are alreed hty- ing plans for a trip up north for deer hunting. A hundred acres of con- thtuous woodland will soon be the mecca of the followers of the. big game shooting. The' hunting season for territory north and west of the French and Mattawa rivers is epeil from October 25 until November 80. Last year 1,291 moose and 17,034 deer licenses were issued to residents and 1,581 licenses to non r.Sidents. This means that ofr $1.81,000 was received for door and moose lieetses alone, while the revenue 'front licens- es for all kinds of shooting was over $402,000. The • hunting season, he- sides being a revenue. producer for the government, provides an added income for spotting and outfitting establishments. It was learned that the initial expense .for equipment, in- cludingboots andrifie, is about -$100 for eett hunter. - • Canadian Book Week. This week throughout Canada is being observed as Book Week, the I object being to stimulate readi !ng among the people of the Dominion I of books written by Canadian auth- ors. With this object in view a pro- gram of some description befitting the occasion is being put on in pprac- tteaily every library. At the Brus- sels Public Library a collection or reeeet Canadian bo.ilis is being kept at inc dsslc for tituse of patrons, Cattle on the Highway. Supposedly contrary to the by-laws of the t:oiniships of all the counties` in Ontario, there are still several, places where horses, cattle, sheep and )togs rue, permitted to roam at large and a source of worry anti anxiety to those who have occasion to use the roads. Itlotorists make every effort to avoid contact with cattle, not de- siring to injure any of these, and particularly not wanting to injure their cars or endanger their lives.. Yet motorists are blamed for care. lessncss if any animal happens to be hit or injured, while the owner, in many cases, is quite indifferent to the; dangers and take a chance in allow• Mg their stock to wander untended from one side of the road to the other. Bovine intelligence to get out of travel cannot be depended upon, but something more than that Stan dard of wit is expected from owners of livestock who allow their stook to get a portion of their feedin • front the roads of the country whet or tee the main highway ser the suleroads. 1f it is a misdemeanor for cattle is runloose on the road the bylaw should be enforced. punning into those 'night may result In the forst of human life..
