Goslin of Highgate is an enthusiastic baseball fan. Yesterday afternoon, when High Constable George Peters of this city stopped him on the Mor- avigntown-Highgate Road, and inti- mated that a charge of speeding would he lald against him, he ex- plined why he was in such a hurry that he had to exceed the speed Hmit. He told the officer he was watch- Ing a baseball game in Highgate when one of the players took an aw- ful wallop at the ball, hit it, and lost it. It looked as if the game would have to be broken up as no- hody had another hall. Goslin sud- denly remembered that he knew a fellow in Moraviantown who had a hall, and he offered to drive over and borrow it. He was driving back to Highgate with the borrow- ed ball when Peters stopped him. There was a big crowd of spec- tators at the game and they were waiting for his return with a new ball, and he speeded up a little so as not to disappoint the fans--and } bes!des, he wanted to see the fin- ish of the game himself. The story didn't seem to satisfy the officer, who had to make a merry chase before catching up to the offender. Peters failed to stop him even when he and his assistant emptied their revolvers in firing at the tires of the speeding car, and it was not until Goslin ran into some loose gravel that the race ended. He will come up in Moraviantown court on July 19, charged with exceeding the speed limit, CANNINGTON MAN GETS YEAR TERM Convicted of Stealing Foxes and is Sentenced in Whitby Whithy, July 15.--John McLean, of Cannington, was sentenced to one vear's imprisonment by Judge J.

Electing to be tried at once, Me- Lean's counsel nleaded grilty for his client, and after conviction was rez- istered by His Honor, counsel pro- ceeded to produce character evi- dence. Wm. A. Robinson, editor of the Canadian "Gleaner," said he had known accused for years. He | was industrious, well regarded, and had always geen a quiet citizen un- til his present trouble. Counsel pointed out that the pris- oner had never been in trouble be- fore until last February, when be- fore Judge Swaze at Lindsay he was found guilty of cattle stealing and was sentenced to two years less one day. The charge of stealing foxes was laid subsequently. Counsel pointed out that the man's young wife and his relatives had made res- titution for the property stolen and he pleaded for leniency in view of these facts and also that he had been married just last November. Col. J. F. Grierson, Crown Attor- ney, argued that while not wishing to be too severe, it was necessary to punish in the crime of theft with 2 sentence adequate to the act as a deterrent to the accused in the fu- ture, and also as a warning to oth- ers. His Honor thereupon sentenced Melean to one year's imprisonment, the sentence to follow the one which he is now serving.
