HOWICK YOUTHS
ASSESSED HIGH
Three' young risen from the Town-
ship of Howiek appeared in ;police
court here on; Monday morning and
were assessed $20• and costs each, a
total of $72 by the Magistrate fr•bm
Godeeici , •
It appears these young men were
littntirt rabbits near Walk.crtun when
their dogs 's STot away and attacked a
young fawn and killed it, before they
could be taken off: They imriaediates
ly tried to get in touch with the game
warden of that district but were: un-
successful and decidcd% to take the
animal home, and which turned out
to beail„ expensive mistake.
'While they may have been able to
clear : themselves of the •accidental'"
killing by the dogs, the fact that they
had deer meat out of season let then
in for. a' charge where the only op-
tion the magistrate had was to levy.
• the minimum fine,
The meat turned out to be "deer"

Cally opposes the Divorce 13i11. Fol-
lowing is printed: his address on that

provinces not to fasten this upon us
until the 'province of Ontario asks for

Y there is another' organization in the

city of 'Toronto, made up,.of some
n•
seven hundred barristers . which is
very anxious to fasten a divorceco
e court
upon this province, bet I think, sir,
that that has been the only demand
that I heard. 1 had a young barrister
call on the the other day, with his
wife, and he started rather to criti-
cize me, for my vote. • t looked at. his
wife and said: "Is it possible that a
young man married Iess than six
months should be contemplating an
easier avenue of escape?" The rank
and file of the people,of the province
of Ontario arc not asking for this
legislation. The government of the
' province of Ontario have not asked
for it, They have not said, that they
are willing and anxious to provide the
machinery. In view of the figures I
have quoted, I think no great harm
can be done by leaving matters as
they are.

We have heard mucic about the di-
vorce courts of other provinces. Ac-
cording to the Canada Year Book, in
1928 'there were 203 divorces ranted,
in British Couinbia• in
Ontario, with
six, times the population, there were
only ,213.. If Ontario had a divorce
court like :British Columbia, and di-
vorces had been granted in this prov-
ince in the same proportion accord-
ing to population as in British Col-
umbia, we would have had, riot' 213,
but over 1200 divorces. Let she' re-
peat that: In 1928 British Columbia
there were 203 divorces, while On-
tario, with six times the population,
had under the. present ' method of
granting divorces in'this provinces,
only 213.:

from those figtires?
Mr. SPOTTON: You May deduce
whatever your deduces can extract.
I am just Making my statement,
Alberta is doing very nicely. With
one-sixth the population of Ontario,
Alberta in 1928 had 168 divrocee, as
against our .213. The four western
rovinces, Manitoba, Alberta, Sasket-
hewvan and British Columbia, that

with a combined population of 2,766,-

of the other chamber that deals with
divorce cases. I have been present
on a few occasions when that com-
mittee has been sitting, and as a lay-
man, -perhaps the lay mind is not as
agile as the legal mind—I thought
that that committee conducted its pro-
ceedings just as well as any law' court
that I have ever been in. On the Sen-
ate divorce committee there are sev-
eral eminent legal gentlemen, any ane
of whom if appointed to the bench to-
morrow would be no more compet-
ent totry a divorce action than he is
to -day, There are also medical men
on that committee who have render-
ed excellent service there.
I do not wish .to delay the house,

tario, I repeat, there has been no de-
mand from my province for' any such
:legislation, and 1 appeal to my fel-
low members from the other provinc-
es not to be too hasty in thrusting
upon an unwilling province legisia-
tion which it does not desire.

THIEVES BREAK INTO WINHAM FLOUR
MILL; DELIBERATELY DESTROY PROPERTY
The Flour Mill of Howson $c How-
son was entered b some y r unknown
person or persons early Wednesday
morning. How they , gained entrance
is doubtful as the vandals on leaving
left three doors open. It is thought
':however that one of the doors inay
have .been forced.
They went to theoffice, took all
the money there, which was only a
few coppers, 'then threw all papers
around and :tore` the telephone from
the wall, this caused a short circuit
which signalled central at about 1.30.
After destroying things there they
went into the mill and pulled the
stops out of the feed bins letting the
shorts and bran run over on the
flour. When they seemed to be sat-
isfied. with their work inside they
stole the truck and started on a joy
ride but owing to the fact that, the
water had been drained out the prev-
ious evening they didn't ride far be-
fore it got overheated and seized

by drunks out for a little excitement

SUSPECTED INDIANS
HELD FOR TRIAL
The two Indians and squaw suspec-

at Finlayson's store, Lucknow, spent
the past week in Walkerton jail.
They belong on the Saugeen Reserve
near Southampton, although when
caught at Owen Sound they were evi-
dently making for the Cape Croker
Reserve where they, no doubt, 'ex-
pected to elude the police.
The names are, Leonard Wesley,
Francis Moses and Elizabeth Kahbeji,
The squaw does not appear to be the
wife of either of the Indians.
On being searched after the arrest
the Indians were found to be pretty
well equipped for house and Store
breaking. They had about one hun-
dred yale Bash -register and door keys
and among these were two with taurn-
bers corresponding to Mr, Finlayson's
cash register, They had a number of
screw drivers and a large flash light.
Constable Moore has a number of
things which he found deposited not
far from Lucknow station, and which
evidently had been left by the Indians
--blankets, a grain bag which' con-
tained a roll of cured pork; a screw
driver and small packages, one of
these with A. R. Finlayson's trade
mark on it.
It appears that the trio walked the
railway track from . Wingham . to
Lucknow, and evidently arriving too
early they camped near the tra;ek a
short distance east of the station.
The squaw is said to have admitted
taking the hand satchel from the
store, and asked what she did with
it, said she had put .stones in it and,
threw' it in the river east of the sta-
tion. Shp was afraid it might lead
to connecting her with the -robbery.
