He was admitted to bail of $3,000 on the surety of friends. The Coroner's jury gave a verdict of accidental death, largely exonerating the youth, but he was taken into custody on the ground that it is illegal for one person to point a firearm at another. Crown Attorney W- F. Kerr, of Cobourg, conducted the prosecution. Mr. F. M. Field. K.C., appeared for Elliott. Elliott was released at the request the Attorney General. It is understood that the action of the Attorney General followed the appeal of an influential deputation that made representations regarding the age and character of the accused. Crown Attorney Kerr said he was glad to concur with the decision of the Attorney General. In prosecuting the case he was only doing his duty as Crown Attorney and he wished to impress upon the minds of the citizens of Northumberland and Durham and the Province of Ontario that the pointing of a gun at person was a criminal offence and that great danger lurked in the practice. In dismissing the case the magistrate said, "It has been said you have y friends ' around this country, which is a wonderful position for a boy to be in. This will be a great lesson to you, for you are charged with a very serious offence. There will be no conviction rendered at the present time on account of the instructions from the Attorney General's department which does not want tc prosecute. Thus you are given a chance to go and redeem an erroi you have made." Standard events only are to be counted in the competition for A silver cup. donated by '*Farm and Dairy."

It is to be thirty-six stories high, surmounted by an illuminated cross, with wings twenty stories in height to be rented in apartments. Connected with the church are swimming pools, bowling alleys and gymnasium, besides all the usual accommodations, in the way of class rooms, lecture halls and meeting rooms. The president of the U.F.W.O. for Ontario, speaking at the recent U. F.O. picnic at Wallace's Point, emphasised the value of advertising by stating "We should take a tip from big businesses in one way. When one looks at the papers one sees page after page devoted to the advertising of its products but we farmers never think of advertising our goods. If we have a few barrels of apples left over at the end of the season, we think perhaps some of the neighbours may take them, or maybe thev will rot, or we may give them away. Our farmers are lax along the line of advertising their wares." Used Car Parts FOR SALE SOME GOOD AS NEW PRICES LOW Jack Cowey jr.
