Catharâ€" Ines court last week because of inâ€" sufficient evidence. Constable Tom Maxwell of the OPP stated that tire marksa showed that the acâ€" cused‘s car had zigâ€"zagged back and forth from the white line to the soft shoulder for 300 feet before it rolled over into the ditch, Hyland was not called to testify, although Maxwell reported him as saying that he had been sideswiped by anâ€" other car whose license number he was unable to get. "Evidence of tire marks or the condition of the vehicle is not evi« dence of dangerous driving," said Magistrate Hallett. The onus is on the Crown to prove eriminal intent, he said.

Lane, Mr. Charles L. Tallman and early files of the Beamsville Exâ€" 1908 is the first year that a Beamsville Band is remembered insofar as knowing the leader and having concrete information as to the names of at least a few of the men who played in it. It is very probable that the Village did have a band of some description at least 10 years before that time, but with no early minutes or "oldâ€"timâ€" ers" to give us any information, our statements would not be facts, and the history of the band in those years would tend to be more fictâ€" ion than an accurate collection of the names and dates pertaining to that era of the band‘s life. Therefore, we start with the year 1908 and work from there to the present time. In that year, the late J. W. Buck and A. McAnteer headed a Citizen‘s Committee to revive the, then disâ€" banded, Beamasvilie Band. This Committee, in many people‘s estâ€" imation, did more to further the band‘s future than any other to date. They first purchased $2,000 worth of new instruments from Magistrate H. D. Hallett apâ€" parently got tired of attempting to find out who hit Stuart McEachâ€" eren, and the charge of assault against an . apparently innocent person, Hugh Cole of Grimsby was dropped, and the case dismissed in court last Friday. It would appear that MeEachâ€" eren actually had no idea just who is alleged to have struck him in the washroom of a Grimaby hotel It was not Cole, and neither was it William â€" Pearson _ of _ Grimasby Beach, who failed to how up in on Friday, although he was sumâ€" moned as a withess. "Pearson wasn‘t the man who hit me," said MeFacheren, Apparently tired of the whole affair, Magistrate Hallett diamiss» ed the charge against Cole, STHLL A MYSTERY (Continued on Page 5) by Blondy Gale
