elson at the end of october for s26 each is it the usual custom to leave horses out during winter the bench asked accused as the weather gets colder their hair gets lpnger replied elson and most horses wont eat hay coming inside out of the cold an uxbridge veterinary dr e bailey told the court he examined the horses last tuesday found them in good condition good spirit good heart and tearing around there like young colts good for humans further defence evidence was given by william hopkins ash- bum who said he thought it would be good to leave human beings out in the cold too i was healthier when i was working outside for 10 years that i am today said wit ness he said he brought his horses iaide at night and when asked by the crown why hopkins replied its human its human two farmers who own land bord ering on the field in question arthur fielding port perry and sebastien walensberger manches terboth agreed with mr hopkins statement that horses are better off outside than they would be in a barn similarly they said they brought their horses in at night unusual names some tonguetwisters the question of whats in a name can be answered in several ways to the satisfaction of every body but the question of how to pronounce a name is not always so easy take a look at the voters lists for pickering or whitchurch and other lists we might mention and you will unearth some unusual ones a brantford pitcher named kali- chuck was being replaced by one named monaghan when a kitchener boy hanging around the brantford players bench remarked kail- chuck what a name the brant ford bat boy heard the remark and asked the kitchener lad what was his name kleinschmidt was the reply a casual run through the whit church list that clerk john craw ford deals with we find some rather tough ones to handle take for instance such names as amodeo defonxio cormanchio shelos- towaky makela nurminen proulx and geancolti and you have a fair sample of the headaches clerks may encounter in trying to pronounce some of them in pickering township some of the difficult ones could be shklar bronislawa thacs usaty how- chin and whichello the royal wedding films will be shown at the stanley theatre on january 23rd and 21th this is one extra you wont want to miss remember the dates and walensberger testified that the creek going through the field was open all winter- giving his verdict magistrate ebbs salcj in this case as in others a lot of people are prepared to rush in and testify with facts that the court knows little about bound by the rules of evidence as i am there is no alternative but to dismiss the case ah i can say is that if i were in the horse business pawing through the snow for grass ii would not like to have any of my they stated was nothing to a horse animals kept out in this weather
