On Suspended Sentence
Rex. vs. McCauley was a case in the
County Judge's Criminal Court in which
the accused was charged 'with an indict-
able offence in operating a gambling de-
vice at the Blyth fall fair. High Con-
stzble Whitesides in making a tour of the
fall fairs came across the case, and there
being no police magistrate - for that sec-
tion since the resignation of Magistrate
Morton of Wingbam, the case was taken
before Magistrate Andrews of Clinton,
acting as a justice of the peace The ac-
cused was committed for trail and was
convicted before Judge Dickson, who on
Monday allowed hinl� to go on suspended
sentence. McCauley!s game was the
throwing of dice for a kewpie doll, one of
the games of chance that have lately
come under the special attention of the
Attorney -General's Department.

On Monday afternoon a- horse and
wagon belonging to Mr. Thos. Field went
over the bank opposite the Wingham
Salt Works and landed heavily in the
river,
Mr. Field was backing up the wagon
with a load of coal cinders to dump, when
the weight of the wagon sinking in the
soft earth pulled the horse back and
horse and wagon rolled into the river a
distance of about thirty feet. Mr. Field
ran around by the bridge, waded into the
icy water to his shoulders and succeeded
in holding the horse's head above water,
until help arrived. Mr. Geo. Kerr also
waded into the water and with his assist-
ance the horse was released from the
wagon by cutting the harness. The horse
was, pretty stiff when rescued, but will
be alright in a few days. K.
A rowboat was taken to the wagon and
a rope fastened to it, and a team soon
drew the wagon and harness to dry land.
We are pleased to learn that neither of
the gentlemen are any the worse of their
cold dip. They were warmed and receiv-
ed dry clothes at Mr. Lockeridge's.

TEACHER FLIES

Saying Good-bye
Lucknow's Public School Principal, Mr.
Elliott, left in his new automobile on Sat-
urday, Nov. 20th, and has not been seen
at Lucknow since. It is too bad to
lose a teacher just at this time of the year.
Mr. Elliott, whose father is principal of
of a large school in Ontario, was very
highly respected sin(e coming to Luck
now, and his sudden disappearance was a
great shock to those who knew him best.
He was particularly well liked by his
pupils.
