through the addomen and in the- hand both are struggling for their lives in the general hospital toronto the garage was equipped with a burglary alarm system and this brought the proprietor and his son to the scene just as three bandits were backing out a new chev car jumping on the running board they clung to the car ami fought the robbers one of the stonehouses grabbed the keys and threw them out slopping the car down in the hollow a few hundred feet west of the corner from the garage constable walker hurrying to the scene and reaching the corn er of the main street and no 7 highway he saw a couple of cars down in the hollow and hurried in j their direction the robbers were at the time abandoning the stolen car for the former one in which they came to the village and walker gave them chase over to the second hill west of the village here he was forced to stop with his car being peppered with shot and lie took re fuge behind the car at least 56 pellets struck walkers car the robbers sped off again and walker returned to the village to give the alarm to constable barraclougli at richmond hill on his way back he saw the two stone houses lying in the snow helpless and bleeding badly he managed to load them into his car and hurry them to a doctors oitice i the alarm was then sent to i constable barraclougli and the tor onto police were also notified but before their cruisers got to the out- i skirts of the city the gansters had reached a haven of safety some- presumably in toronto forced to render aid to his comrades no doubt caused serious delay in notifying the police at the other end but such are the fortunes favoring the robbers an intensive hunt is in progress in the hope of running down the cul prits and so far one arrest is made there is little evidece

indian apolis news rorever and that i might be induced sooner or later to transfer my residence to florida where i have four married daught ers with the fifth and last getting ready to follow 1 decided last summer it was time i was finding out what was in cue of those old high roundtop tincovered trunks nearly sixty years old that i brought from canada with me in 1sss everything in it of course was of date back of that year truck most people would call it that i iiad gathered up in uxbridge port perry and in my shortened toronto university days later or as school teacher in uxbridge and near leaskdale and at hanover in crey county and at lamlash near there and after in about five years as reporter on cornwall weeklies i knew generally that in the trunk were old newspapers concert and play programs dance programs 1 played in orchestras school exam ination papers my own and those of pupils at my various charges white crayon slate pencils lead pencils and anything else that you can guess a young fellow batching it and living at hotels most of the time might toss into a trunk what i nn over looked or for gotten however strange as it seem ed to me was what i found at the bottom of the crank several hun dred letters practically all i have received in my boyhood and young manhood days the trunk which had been in cellars and garrets and where now for years had been in the gar age the last ten or twelve and there i spent about half my two weeks j vacation days in hot july messing over them reading them again as best i could in a hurry before tak ing basket after basket of them to the furnace however there was a certain percentage of them i did not feel like ruthlessly destroying at once such as from members of the family these were kept with the idea of returning them to the writ ers to give them a thrill or two the more so as unexpected before doing this it has struck me i might find something in them that may interest tlte oldtimers of stouffville and which even the young timers may decide to read ill pick out a few of them as near as i can according to dates on them one of the earliest i find is from my brother ed march 1876 apparently one of the first he had ever written only the first page of a 4page letter paper sheet outside of his writing which was excellent for his age his literary effusion would not grade high in stouffvilles anions school he says i now have the opportunity of writting to you telling you there is no fresh news here well that settles the stouffville part quickly he then proceeds to ask me about some robbery that i had actually occurred or that i had told him of to get him excited and make my letter to him worth read ing he adds we feel very uneasy about your liable i hope you did not get hurt in the tossel we want you to send more pertuolars how- much money had you when they attacted you that is about all 1 have to say yours dearly archie leaney on the other hand could find a good deal to say even on a

alarm system to be installed single men lose relief april 1st on tuesday evening the muni cipal council placed an order for a modem fire alarm siren to be iuj stalled in the clock tower and to be operated electrically from a switch in front of the hall and from one to be installed at the telephone ollice of the bethesda stouffville company in the ratcliff block this latter switch or button for setting off the alarm will enable people to use the telephone to get prompt re sults for the switch board operator will only have to touch a button and the alarm will sound from the clock tower reeve h w sanders presided over the meeting but there was not a great deal of business to transact much consideration having been given to the purchase of the fire alarm over the past mouths the equipment will include a 3hh motor with remote control cutout station boxes may be added any time if it becomes desireable to have switches at the east and west end of the village the cost of the new apparatus was the only objectionable feature to the councillors being 452 plus instal lation charges which it was said would bo light these alarms are made in the usa and it appears cannot be obtained for less money the stouffville siren will be the same as is used in the town of whitby and is being bought through margison babcock engineers constable harold quibell advised the council that his year would ex pire in april as chief and that it would be necessary to enter into a new agreement with better pay cheques if he is to be retained the large number of calls and time in volved is not realized by the council he said but the salary is very small council promised to give the matter due consideration in the hope that other work might be found for the chief that would bring up his pay- cheque more to his liking members present reeve sanders councillors a e weldon walter brillinger ross e brown recipient must bo year married and reside in municipally same period council rules cancellation on april 1st ef shelter and fuel allowances for single men on relief was adopted by markham township council the bylaw also provides that persons must be resi dents of the municipality one year before receiving assistance and must be married one year before being eligible for relief the regula tions were adopted in an effort to reduce relief costs bills of 83737 were presented to council by road section foremen these bills are for snow shovelling on the back concessions and side roads apart from provincial high ways and also excusive of relief work done along the same lines a bill for 400 from robert ager foreman in the western section for work on 7 12 miles was considered heavy but was ordered to be paid another coming from the cedar grove section in the east was pre sented with the stipulation that if the western section would work grattiituosly the bill would be with drawn this the west refused to do however cedar grove agreed to spend the money in storm fences the work was done principally by farmers anxious to keep taxes down the total relief bill for march is 204275 of which 90765 was for fuel 85906 for groceries etcaud 31029 for hospitalization road cattle shipped to maryland the toronto cattle market may be full of sorrows for the farmer who is trying to market his stallfed animals carried all winter at a pro fit but the united states market does not hold any relief for him at this time last week messrs win ratcliff and clias harper shipped a carload of fancy finished butchers cattle to toronto but the price was not good enough in fact it was a shame to place a bid of only five cents on these animals finished to the kings taste the commission man evidently felt the same way and advised sending the car to lancaster usa but at that american cattle centre prices were also found very bad and no sale was made the car was then shipped right down to maryland and was sold on the baltimore market the farmers were guaranteed live cents for their car when they left toron to but they are not looking for any additional returns in view of the low- state of the market across the lino and the long haul south however the folk at baltimore will have a chance to get their teeth into some real canadian beef which may be good advertising for this country insurance was renewed at 23377 constables salary and mileage 117 2s and relief officers salary
