Glenelg Fire Inquiry Gives Poor Results The Glenelg lire inquiry at Durham on Tuesday and Wi'diiesdiy of last week did not resulc in the discovery of the guilty party, but two b others were held until they furnished bonds for good behaviur. The Toronto World report follows : Two sensations were sprung during tha sedond djy of the Gienelu tire proceedings, the McDonald brothers, John and Angus of Irish Lake, being ordered into custody at the close of their examination, and Adam Hillis of Duiham being lold by Marshal Rogers as he left the stand that his denial of authorship of an anouyiuojs letter addressed to JasuL Lev'ne was not entitled to cred- ence. This letter was received by Leviue <>a Octob-ir 7 list, two days after HiUia' nephew had been refused permission to hold a c'ance at Levine's farm. It contained the warning that Levines barns would be burned if any other dances were held and the barns have been watched in consequei.ce ever since. HiUis s*oie today that he did not write and ittd^ no' hing about the letter. Conipa:ed with h^s own handwritini;, that of the anonymous letter was so similar that HUlis himself conceded I hit point while i'lsisiintr on his denial. Mr. Rogers dismissed him with a auggastiou that mote wouH probably be heard of thi matter a.s he was cuuvlucud of the authorship of the Levine letter. The McOonaid brotbero wer-j stated by Jimmy Connelly, wIush moher's barn was burned on the I4ch instant after a previously unsuccessful attempt, to have come into the Cuuueily house toward miJuigh' '.'II ih' 17th, i^it hiui out of b J ani induced him to go with than twj or ihiee miles to a lonely ravine- into which John McDonald urged him lo go *itli the txplanation that he was "going to talk to him with his hands." Thereupon Connelly ran for it and was not oveihau'td, altho pursued. Ho to k refuge with a neighbor that night and had bern afraid to leave his home sine , it being proved by other evidence thit Angus McD.)nald had said they "would get hiniyet " The McDonalds virtually admitted the stated facts, but said that violence was not really intended. They were going to 'talk" to Connelly for sproddmg a crutfl report about thc;ir filers, wh c'l charge Connelly later denied. Bicauseofihe showing of an organized plan to get Connelly by night into a desolate place- *here anythini; ni'ght have hippeued to him, Mr. Rogeis held the bruihers until they furnished bond'i fi'r good behavior during thw ensuing year. Throughout the day a volume of evi- dence was Jaken as lo the various tins, etl'irts chielly being concentrated upon showing what foundation, if any, existid for the belief that Charles McKinnon, a returned Soldier, was responsible for the series of tires. Suspicions of the Mc- Donald brothers in connocliim with the Connelly tire and Joe Sweeny with the MacCasey confl*i;raiion were also .set it rest. As to MacKinnon, much eviHeuce was taken and the man himself and his fathor-in-law, Michael Burke, subjected to most searchiii.' cross examination. Wi'nesses failed to connect MacKinnon with any of the tires and It is now the cui rem belief that h'j has been blamed, upon little more 'hau theory, because he was a stranger in the dislrict. As t;e has been wounded and gassed in the war, it w.k.s the most common theory tliivt his mind had been affected. TheiM is no intimation «hen the inquiry will be resumed, but it will nut be until .some more substauiial evidence is m si.'ht. Barn Burned A most mysterious lire occurred at I'ortlaw on Sunaay afternoon between 4 anj .5 o'clock, »hi«i a lartje frame barn belonging to Mr Frank Th 'inpson was burned to the ground.
