The explo- sion took place in a bin from which grain was being taken, the grain being quite cold at the time. ,Upon the first sound McClure threw himself on' the rapidly moving transfer belt, above the bins, and was carried to the end of the building where he was thrown off and with much force struck the hard cement wall. He was quickly removed to the G. and M. Hospital where his injuries received attention. The ex- plosion had great force as the floor on tap of the bins was raised and broken, while windows were blown out in the flies.â€"'féeswater News. upper part of the super-structure.â€" Collingwood Bulletin. Walked on With Cash Register The garage of Messrs. George Scott 8: Son, situated on the easterly limits of Main street, was entered some time after Monday midnight and the fine cash register, valued at $300, together with its contents of $22.40, was removed from the oflice and spirited away in a motor car. The thieves, thought to be a local pair are believed to have only wanted the coin, but finding the regis- ter locked, they corralled the outfit and took it along with the evident in- ention of breaking the machine Open at a more convenient place and time. That one of the thieves at least was thoroughly familiar with the outlay of the premises and knew how to man- oeuvre about to the best advantage is demonstrated by the manner in which the burglary was staged.â€"Wa1kerton Herald-Times: Elevator Fire and Explosion Fergus Motorist Is Easiest Man Notwithstanding the scoflers there are yet lots of honest men in the world. We recently heard of a Kinca-rdinite who was driving through Fergus, 0n- tario. A truck, without its driver put- ting out his hand, turned unexpectedly across the road, and though the moorist took to the ditch he could not avoid hitting the truck and damaged his car. He was annoyed at having his car damaged, but the truck owner, in a friendly way, acknowledged it was all his fault and told the automobile driver to have the damages repaired and send him the bill. This was done and a cheque came back for the amount of the bill and fifteen cents added for bank exchange charges.â€"Kincardine News. themstltiyearstheCNRtninfrom KincardinetoPalmerstonhasbeenpu- otedpy up.

The Italian Government took? a more sympathetic position, sug- gesting drastic action to solve the re- parations and war debts problems, and implying that Italy would not be un- friendly to pr0posals for readjustment or cancellation. The dritish viewpoint, although not yet announced by the Cabinet, was expected to be concilia- tory, depending upon the possibility of a reduction of war debts owed the Uni- ted States. In the viewpoint of most iEuropean nations the outcome of Ger- ;many’s demands for reparations relief 'will depend directly upon the willing- ness of the United States to reduce 'war debts.

Search warrants on which police raided publication quarters of the Workers’ Vanguard on an information charging criminal libel laid by A. A. Heap, Labor member of parliament, were quashed by the Manitoba Court of appeal. Mr. Heaps claimed he had been libelled in the paper and his charge led to the arrest of Charles Marriott and John Naxizowski. When the defendants appeared in police court their counsel contended the doc- uments seized in the raid could not be offered in evidence as the search war- rants authorizing the raid did not spec- ifically describe the offence charged. 3 The effect of the judgment is that the 1 documents now in possession of the? police must be returned to Marriott1 and Navizowski.
