Bot Staff for President Pettypiece.
The last issue of the St. Marys Argus
gets alter Mr. H. J, Pettypiece, M,P.P.,
editor of the Forest Free Press, and
president of the Canadian Press asso-
eiation, in the following language:—
At the recent Canadian Press asso-
ciation meeting in Toronto its present
president, Mr. Ii. J, Pettypiece, read a
paper on " 1)ea -head Advertising," in
chich the evil was pointed out and
remedies Suggested. We were much
eurprised in the last issue of the Forest
Free Press to find that he was not fav-
orable to tak,ng a dose of his own medi-
cine, A. few weeks ago a certain firm
sent out a little booklet, valued by them
at 10 cents, to many Canadian news-
papers, accompanied by a long reader,
one third of a column long, which they
eeked the newspapers to insert as *
favor to them and as a sort of recom-
pense for receiving this 10 -cent book.
The whole proposition WAS an insult to
a self-respecting publisher. Few news-
papers published the puff, but amongst
them was the Forest Pree Press. • True,
it did not publish all the reader, but an
extract from it in Se good a position as
any patent medicine firm ever demand-
ed, This enact) wee worth to the Free
Nese about 11.53 at current advertising
rates, but it gave it for a 10 -cent book
that it probably threw in the waste
taper basket. That the Listowel Stan-
dard gave the whole reader space in its
editorial columns is no ext000 for the
president of the Canadian Press asso-
ciation putting it in his paper. The
editorial columns of the Listowel Stan-
dard may be of no more value than to
give free pude to foreign concerns, but
newspaper men expect better things
from a newspaper controlled by Mr.
Pettypiece.

Judgments at Oagoode Heal,
During the past week judgments have
been given at Osgoode hall, Toronto, in
the following actions that are of local
interest :—
Waterous Engine Works Co. v. Liv-
ingston.—Judgment (R.) in action tried
without a jury at Brantford. Action
for recovery of goods sold by plaintiffs
to defendant. Held, that if Me prop-
erty in such of the goods as were men-
tioned in the order given by defendants
to plaintiff on September 18th, 1900, was
not to pass to defendant until he had
paid not only for these goods, but any
other indebtedness which he might in-
cur to plaintiffs at any time before till
the goods which were supplied under
that order were paid for, plaintiffs were
entitled to succeed as to all the machin-
ery and other articles described in the
statement of claim which were men-
tioned in the order. According to the
provisions of the order, the property in
the goods which defendant ordered was
not to pass to him "until full payment
of the purchase price and interest * *
or any other account incurred during
the currency of this agreement." The
effect of this term of the agreement is
to prevent the Property in any, of the
goods which were furnished to defend-
ant in pursuance of the agreement
passing to him until he had paid, not
only the purchase price of these goods,
bet also any other indebtedneee which
he plight incur to plaintiffs at any time
before the delivery of the goods which
were ordered had been completed. In
this view if is unnecessary to consider
the questions as to the application of
payments discussed at the trial. The
Other order of November 10th, 1900,
being in the tame terms, the Trevor
lathe and appliances which defendant
received moat be taken to be'subject to
the terms of that order, and, as some-
thing is due .by defendant for the goods
supplied to him in pursuance of the
teams of it, plaintiffs are entitled to
succeed as to the lathe hnd its appli-
ances and each other of the arttclee
mentioned in the order as were supplied
to defendant. 1f defendant's counsel is
of opinion that any of the articles
claimed by plaintiffs, are upon the view
now expressed, not recoverable by
plaintiffs, counsel will be heard and a
reference, if necessary, directed. Sub-
ject to this, there will be judement for
plaintiffs for the recovery of the goods
claimed with costs. W. S. Brewster,
11.C., for plaintiffs, I. F. Helhouth,
K.C., for defendant,

,JESSE SMITH WAS MURDERED.—The
adjourned inquest into the Smith mys-
tery was resumed lost klouday evening
before 12 jurure, The crown was re-
presented by Detective Greer, of '1'o-
rento, and the acting crown attorney,
of Goderich. 1)1,, Thomas Chisholm
sworn—Skull produced. The 'rectum
of the sknil below the left ear was the
most serious. Diagnosed two other
blows, which caused a fracture extend-
ing through the occipital temporal and
into the parietal bone. There was ser-
ious injury also on top of the head,
which could not he got from a fall by a
man falling iu the street. The wound
was an inch above the apex of occipital
cone. The blow at the side of the left
ear would cause death, It would be
Impossible to get Such injuries by fall-
ing on the sidewalk. The whule frac.
tura might have been caused by a blow
on the side of head by the left ear.
The tie5005 were found in healthy con-
dition between places where blows were
delivered. Three points on skull showed
evidence of injury. There were abra-
sions on the shins in front, extending
from the knees down, The shine were
tound bleeding when the clothing was
removed. He could not have fallen
and have such wounds. One fall could
not cause the three wounde ou the
head, which were probably caused by
blows from heavy club. A maple club,
the length of a policeman's baton, two
inches in diameter, was produced. It
was found near where Smith was pinked
up. Asked by jurymen for his opinion,
the witness stated Smith wits likely
struck on the head with the club and
knocked forward on his knees, Dr. J.
S. Chielolm, sworn—Corroborated for-
mer evidence on skull. The blow on
top of the head, as well as below at the
side of the ear, would prove fatal,
Witness heard deceased utter the
words, "Murder!" when corning out
of chloroform. Both surgeone gave
evidence RS to contueions and blows,
and were unanimous in ascribing death
to blows likely caused by a club, and
tho mark behind ear indicated a fatal
blow. Dr. Bethune, who, when first
sworn, thought the injuries might have
resulted from accident, stated lie had
cause to change his opinion, and now
believed deceased met death by wounds,
likely indicted by blows of a club or
dull instrument, It is impossible one
fall could cause Such wounds. Dr.
Agrew generally corroborated forrner
witness. Evidence was given as to
sultpicious characters in town, and a
man seen following deceased a couple
of steps behind him et fatal corner. A
eon of deceased, svrorn, stated his
father hod $114, and the money was
still missing, His father had some $60
stolen from under his pillow a few
years ago, and no trace has since been
found. Did not know whom to suspect.
The evidence of Messrs. Wm. Holmes
and D. Rush referred to another man
begging money to buy dinner in town
the same day. At two a.m, the jury,
after an hour's deliberation, rendered
this verdict: " Deceased died from
the effects of blows, but whether with
murderous intent or not, they could not
determine.
