Bannerman on the Bowman sideline in the 4th Conces- sion of Nottawasaga, was discovered to be on tire. and in a very short time both building and contents were'com- pletely destroyed. It is supposed to have been caused by lightning as no one had been near the barn for sev- eral hours. It contained all his supply of hay, farm implements, eleven ewes and fteen spring lambs. His loss will amount to about $5,000 and was but partially covered by insurance. (Meaford Express) On Wednesday morning a real sen- sation took place at the Meaford High School when Miss Leila Doran lost her wrist watch. The young stu- dent went to the wash room and laid the watch on a shelf or table while she went through the formality of washing her hands. She then left the room and forgot the timepiece. Re- turning a few minutes later the watch had disappeared and in her grief tears flowed freely and the matter was re- ported to the principal. Mr. Dundas was more than horried at the disap- pearance of the jewellery and'immedi- ately put things in motion to recover the lost article. At the noon hour ev- ery girl was searched before leaving the school and the dignity of many of the students was also expressed in a ood of tears that certainly caused a commotion. v9_ ;_ L1__ ______r__; .1, W, 1,`, u ,nnn1 vtavnan Up to the present the watch is still missing although we learned today that its resting place is about to be made known and if the party does not return it at once there is liable to be more -sh to fry. The matter is no joke and the guilty party should be made an` example of rather than have all the girl students at the school under the stigma of belng a suspect.
