GEORGE HAS 1VIANY TROUBLES
.George (Welsh, who lives on the old
Flannery place, town line west of
Walton, came to 'Seaforth Friday af-
ternoon last to do his Christmas
shopping and became involved in
a chain of circumstances which, to
say the least, detracted from the
pleasure of 'the occasion,
The trouble started when a strang-
er -.vent into the' Star Cafe about 630
and upon finding that supper would
cost 315tc, asked for a meal for 25c,.
which sum was all he had. The wait-
er, Hildebrandt, went out to an ad-
joining store to get the proprietor,
Tom Chong, and as the two re-enter-
ed they met the custdmer an his way
out, saying he 'would be back in a
minute.
Two young boys, INen Reid and
Charlie Wood, then entered 'the rest-
aurant to infornn the owner that they
had been looking in the window and
had seen the ratan remove bills from
the till; this was confirmed when -1Jr.
Chong found the cash drawer partly
open and 14110 missing. '
Police Constable J. V. Ryan vva-
notified at 'the town hall and acting
on a hunch he began making inquiries
to see if George Welsh were in town,
George being a sort of altimnur of the
police books, and after some 'telephon-
ing and searching roads out .of town,
the constable began a systematic
search in stores on Main street that
were still open. and finally saw his
expect in Willis' shoe store and wait-
ed 'outside until George came on:
with his purchases, Constable Ryan
passed the time of day with him and
George, very generously enter-
ing into the •Christmas festive
spirit, offered to stand treat. Welsh
may have 'become suspicious that all
might 1101 be well, for he dropped e
parcel on the street and told the con -
table to go on while he would go back
to pick up his package, whereupon he
was placed tinder arrest and was es-
corted to the restaurant, protesting,
vigorously he had never been gear the
place,
The restaurant people identified
him as 'their visitor and 'George be-
came a guest of the 'town until Prov-
incial C'onsta'ble McCoy removed him
to Goderich,
'Next day Welsh arrived back in
Seaforth on the afternoon trainand
proceeded to the town hall with a
letter from the authorities saying 'Inc
was a free man again, released on.

his innocence and will have an oppor-
