Fred Woods of Craigvale, by shooting him last 'Hallowe en when Woods with a number of` other youths visited Booth s farm to play some pranks, was committed for trial before. a iudge and jury. The case came u for trial in police court on Monday after several adjournments, made by reason of ' young Woods inability to appear in court to give evidence, and - Booth, through his counsel, W. A. Boys, K.`C., elected summary trial. However, after five Crown `witnesses had been heard, Magistrate J effs halt- ed the proceedings by declaring that . the case was of such a serious nature as to justify him in sending it to a higher court. The case will probably come up at the June Sessions. n11,,. .___i_ L, LL- -_.... 1...... _...L 1 in uvllaw may av v-av `Cubans: n.av~u--._...

Cow testing work, for many years conducted by the Federal Depart- ment of' Agriculture, has been re- cently taken over by the Provincial Department, the work to be under the supervision of the Agricultural "Representatives. Considerable use- ful e erimental and demonstration- al wor has been done in the past few years, as well as official testing for record of merit and record of per- formance work among a number of the pure bred herds of the County. It is time, however, that the `com- mercial milk and cream producers re- ceived some assistance, and the new Provincial cow testing policy is based on the principle of the greatest ser- vice to the greatest number. The object in view is to roduce a cow testing service availa le to all that need it, _ V \.

The right lung is still at and there are no breath sounds below the level of the route of the bullet, indicating that this area is out of commission.

To Mr. Boys, Dr. Lewis stated that the entrance of the bullet was about an inch and-a half lower than the point where it was located. . Provincialr Constable Kelly, who placed Booth under` arrest after the shooting, stated that he visited Booth s farm and there found a .22 Icalibre `rie and a box of cartridges. Examining the bullet which had been extracted from Woods chest, he stat- ed that it might have been red from Booth s rie.

He heard Booth coming out of the house and they ran, Booth following them. When they were back in the eld, Booth, who had fol- lowed them to the fence, stopped and they stopped also. He heard Booth [call to his son, Bring out the'gun and I ll riddle them. and a short time later he heard the` discharge of a gun and two bullets whined past him. The shots, which sounded like a. small-calibre rie, came from near `the fence behind which Booth wm-.. `barn, arriving in time to see a wagon We started to run and he ran after us, stated the witness. I felt that I was shot, but I kept on running till I got to the fence at the tracks. I [was all in then and the other boys helped me over the fence. While we were there I heard two more shots. Visit Not Pre-Arranged To Mr. Boys the witness stated that he had never been to Booth s place before and only learned since the ac cident that Booth was an an- nual recipient of attentions from .Hallowe en prankers. He did not know who suggested going there but maintained that the visit was not pre- i arranged. They had played a few pranks in Stroud and left there about 11.30, visiting Russell Webb's and Chas. Robinson s places, where they moved wago_ns and implements, and then went down the tracks to Booth`s. Woods stated that he saw a light in the house after they had scared the chickens out of the tree and a few minutes later he saw Booth coming around the corner of the barn but did not see anything in his hand nor did he see anyone else. Judging by the sound, he thought the rst two i bullets passed within a few feet of him and about shoulder high. `He ' thought they were closer to him than i to any of the others because they passed to the east of him and he was ` on the east side. It was difficult to distinguish gures and he stated that he could not see Booth when the rst shots were red and he did not think ' Booth could see them, but that he ' would know where they were by the f `sound of their voices. While they - stood in the eld they shouted to him ' in a half-joking way to bring on the = gun. thinking he would just shoot to frighten them. ` \ __1_-.___...)| .1-.... 1..-..1.. ..4'&....

These three matters, which were dealt with by the Finance Committee, precipitated the discussion on their report. Consideration was given to a proposal to take outindemnity in- surance protecting the town_ in case of accidents on the streets or side- gwalks for which "the corporation might be held liable. The suggestion of the.` agent who" addressed. Council that the Town take apolicy for one month, during which time they might look into the question, -was accepted.

Pool Room License Not Granted An amendment by Ald. Jarvis and Bricker moved to strike out the clauses relating to the billiard license and collection of taxes.
