Gulbor THE COLBORNE EXPRESS THURSDAY, JULY 28th, 1921 $2.00 a Year in Advance Mr. A. C. Corby of Brighton has completed the erection of the Sol diers' memorial in Victoria Park Colborne. The double base is mounted on a solid concrete foundation. The die is of polished black granite, and contains on one side eleven names, native sons of Colborne and boys who enlisted here, who were killed in action or died service in the Great War, while honour rolls, covering the other three sides, give the names of 100 Colborne boys who were in the firing line or were on service in England. Surmounting the die is the statue of a Canaoian soldier in fuh service uniform and equipment, carved out of Italian white marble. The whole stands about 13 feet above the found- The lettering on the die has been excellently executed, and the cutting shows up distinctly, appearing white on the black surface.

He was captured at Campbellford by the police there after a lively chase, but not until he was shot in the leg by the officer, the. bah passing through the fleshy part of the man's leg. He was brought back to the,jail here that night. Wednesday 'he came up in Court on a charge of unlawfully escaping from custody, and an extra three, months was added to his previous sentence bv Police Magistrate Floyd. Steward was convicted of the theft of clothing, boots and shoes from the home of James Watters of Seymour Tp. and had his trial in Campbellford .--Cobourg World. An order-in-council has been passed, remitting the fine of $200 imposed on Bee Heong, a chinaman, of Brighton, recently convicted of a breach of the Ontario Temperance Act. The order was passed following the reports of the Commissioner of Police and the Board of License Commissioners for Ontario. It was clearly a technical breach of the Act and the Chinaman acted on the advice of the police magistrate of Brighton. While the liquor has not yet been returned to Lee Heong, there is no doubt it will as soon as he provides a proper place in which to receive the same. Mr. F. M. Field. K.

He succeeded "eaching her safely, and after a 1 struggle against sea, current, and the weight of clothes, made some ;ress towards the wharf. Ralph liaghan realizing that the task too difficult for John to accomplish, plunged in and relieved him, and succeeded in making further progress, ivhen, his brother James, seeing that he could not reach the wharf without further assistance, also plunged in id gave the necessary help to accomplish the task. Finally all four-- the rescued and the rescuers were with much difficulty landed safely on harf, much to the relief and joy of the anxious watchers. were greatly exhausted, following their struggle in the water. First aid was administered at once-and the young lady removed to her home, where she was later attended by Dr. Brown.
