It appears that Messrs. Reamsbottom Racicot were waiting for the train at Hoyle ‘and the poolroom being warm and a public place they took advantage of its. comparative comfort in preference to the T.

Tremblay, who conducts the poolroom is said to have started a dispuate with Mr. Reamsbottom, there being apparâ€" ently some past disagreoment between the two. â€" Tremblay‘s son also took a hand in the trouble, according to the stories of the affair. Tremblay is said tqg have smashed Mr. Reamsbottom over the head with a billigrd cue, and Mr. Reamsbottom was knocked senseâ€" less on the fHloor. Mr. Racicot attempt ed to stop any further trouble and he too was struck over the head with the eues. Mr. Racicot was also eventually rendered â€" yneonscious. Mr. Reamsâ€" bottom wus apparently struck on the head and face several time with the butt end of the eues and Mr. Racicot suffeéeredâ€"in the same way. â€" Mr. Reams bottom \Wwas covered with blood when left by his assailants, and was carried from the poolroom to the train and thence taken to Haileybury hospital. Some one at Hoyleé learned that Proâ€" vincial Officer Moore was on the train going through and he KÂ¥as informed that a serious assault had been made. lfe went at once to ths ]).);)h'n;nn: u$ utilized fo: Moore found n blay or his sc Messrs.

No definite plans have yet been made, but the erection of a big new store is considered by most people as very probable on account of the fact that a big business like Marshall}â€" Eececlestone‘s in two such lines as hard ware and furniture requires large and commodious premises, and the .\Ifuah- allâ€"Eccelestone firm always does things well and likes to give the public the best of accommodation and service.
