A Sensation.

Last Saturday morning quite a sensation was caused in town over a report that got pretty widely circulated to the effect that Joseph Ramsay had been seriously assaulted the night previous on his way home from Keppel by unknown men, who had fired three shots at him. On enquiry it was found that Ramsay had received a bullet wound in the arm, but nothing serious was apprehended from its effects. Since it has transpired that the probabilities are that Ramsay must have accidentally shot himself by an accidental discharge of his revolver, as no clue could be traced as to the perpetrators. Joe, however, maintains that he was taken for a detective and shot by Keppelites. The prevailing opinion is, however, that the whole thing is a hoax, and that no assault took place. For further particulars call on Joe himself and hear him unfold the dreadful story of his narrow escape.--[Owen Sound Advertiser.
