Judgment ,will bs given on April 11. Crown Attorney J. U. Andersov.. who conducted the prosecution, an- nounced that, in the event of a dis- missal of the charge agairist Purvis, the Crown would withdravy. the case against S. F. Cook, another Provin- cial officer now awaiting trial on a charge of shooting with inter.t lo maim an unknown person at the same time. In the course of his argument the Crown Attorney declared it was not , . a case that the public was concerned i ^ about from the standpoint of pum- % melling Purvis. "I don't think that the public de- sires that the bright, clean-cut, ener- getic young fellow in the dock should be given any exacting punishment," he said. "I think what the public and the interests of justice require at this juncture is a declaration from this court as to what justifies a constable in shooting, and as to whether con- stables in similiar circumstances are to be justified in going out and shooting with intent to maim. "If this court finds that the ac- cused was not justified in the use of firearms, then I say in all seriousness that I don't believe the interests of justice require that this young man should be given any more punish- ment than would indicate the disap- proval of this court." In his defence Purvis stated he had been on the Provincial Police Force about six years, with no mark against him. Earlier in life he served for tw^elve years in the Toronto Postal Department, and later was a guard at Burwash. He went overseas as a gunner, and returned as battery ser- geant- major.

Is Liberal Candidate In a recent issue of the Kinders- ley (Sa«k.) Clarion, of which a copy was received, we were pleased to see the pleasant features of our ftiend. Mr. Chas. R. S. Stewart aopearing on the front page, with the infor- mation that he had been chosen a Liberal nominee for the Kindersle^ district at the next Provincial elect- ions. His home-town friends are pleased to know of his selection and wish him every success obtainable, as we know that he would make an excellent representative in ParSamnt. The followng was clipped from The Clarion in the report of the con- vention: The expressed sentiment was that the interest of the constituency would best be served of at an eaiiy date a Liberal convention be called, that a choice might be made of a candidate who would truly represent the people in the Legislature at Re- pina. Moments of exquisit,^ doubt gave way to pleasure accompanied by delight and to many an unique suprise when Mr. C. R. S. Stewart better known as "Charlie" in his modest and assuming wav Rave con- sent to allow his name brought be- fore the convention as e candidate of staTidard beaivr for the Liberal party in the Kindersley Constituency. Fortunate -.idecd are wc be.-ause we hovf persuadtd n man of tho sta-iir« of C.

We ' ' forgot to ask Mr. MacDonald how long he had been a subscriber, but ' as he is 86 it is probably a good many years. We had an interesting ; talk with him aljout his family and ' their ages. His father and mother i Alexander MacDonald and Frances ' Cattanach were married at Ennot- | ville in 1837, and all the family j were bom the^. Seven out of nine i children survive as follows.

The total ! for the seven is 573 years, and all | are able to go around. Judgine by Alex's vigorous footstep, he will be still stepning around at 100.
