Duncan, who was charged with setting fire to a frame ntilding and two log cabins on the proâ€" perty of his cousin, Mrs, Myrtle Prenâ€" tice, Kirkland Lake district, was last week sentenced by Magistrate Atkinson in Kirkland police court to one year definite and six months indeterminate, in the Ontario reformatory. The eviâ€" dence at the trial included three stateâ€" ments made by the accused in which he admitted setting fire to the buildings. When placed on the stand however, he claimed that he did not remember writâ€" or signing these statements. He said that all he could remember was that he signed The deâ€" fence consisting chiefly of the evidence of the accused to the effect that he had not left his room the night of the fire. this being corroboated by a roommate, who, however, was not able to give the date of the fire, There was also the suggestion that the accused had been in a highly nervous condition and in that condition would perhaps readily sign any sort of statement to avoid irkâ€" some questioning. The investigation into thé fire was conducted by D. H. Craig, inspector from the Ontario Fire Marshals office, who made a carefu engquiry after the fire and secured the statements presented at the trial in which incendarism was practically adâ€" mitted by the accused.

An interâ€" esting incident occurred here last week however at the home of Mr. Jim Rose who has a flock of very affectionate hens. When Mr. Rose was shingling the roof of his house last week, he was surprised that one of the biddies had boldly taken a position by his side on the roof. In order for the hen to gain this advantageous position it was necâ€" essary for it to climb a rather lengthy ladder. it is said, Noranda will not be includâ€" ed in the plan.

The officer claimed he had been dragzed down and struck by the three men, but Neil and Ayotte, on the stand, maintained they had not hit the chief, and Neil, whom the magistrate held responsible chiefly for the trouble, swore he had been struck by the chief when he asked Connelly to let Walsh go with his comâ€" panions. Ayotte said he took no part in the affair and Walsh did not testify. The trio got away, but were arrested in New Liskeard four hours later.

Then came the problem of finding a suitable text. After much searching, he found it in Matthew‘s Gospel 24:17, "Top not come down." His congregation sat amazed when he announced his text but what the preacher falled to tell his hearers was that he did not quote the entire verse which reads: "Le‘ him which is on the house top not come down to take anyâ€" thing out of his house."
