It turped east with a man still clinging to him, then turned north, violently shaking his angry head. "The rascals had unfastened the reins from the bit," said the hold-' up victim.

"Did you have very much money with' you?" queried Mr. Kerr, "Very .little, sir, only $7.75," answered witness. "What did the men say," asked the crown. "Very little, tween them, 'Hold him up, bim up,' " replied Mr, Jacks. they mumbled .bhe- hold D. F. Hall, counsel for the two accused asked Mr, Jacks if it were not possible that the men meant the horse, when they said, 'Hold him up,', since they did not try to hold up the witness, Mr, Jacks replied that his herse {didn't meed any holding up, and their were laughs and applause from the courtroom, with cries of order from Chief of Police Jarvis, Witness was not prepared to say which of the two men fired the shots, but thought that it was the smaller of the two.

E.' Wilsgn, who has at- tended Mr. Atkinson from the first, gave a stern statement today of the city's lack in 'this regard, "The need of an isolation hospi- tal is quite outstanding," he stated. "I was surprised the other morning when I found fit impossible to get action with regard to this patient. After struggling for hours to get hint into a hospital, we were forced to resbit to spinal treatment and glying of serum, which should al- ways be done in a hospital, at the patient's bedside and in his room at his boarding house. "One has had to pull aching teeth for a lumber jack seated on a stump fn mid-winter back in the north country; and treated malaria on" 4 pallet' of straw in the swamps of Louisiana; but for a city of the size of Oshawa to afford no means man, the vicfim of an inectious di- of proper isolation for a fine young sease who is unfortunate enough to have no home in the city, should demonstrate the crying need for better conditions under which to work. "What we need is more action in disease prevention and fewer speech. paige Dr. Wilson also deplores the ef- fect of a Infantile paralysis scare on the city, and points out that cer- ebro spinal meningitis has no con- nection with that disease. "This case," he pointed out, "is not infantile paralysis, and there is no need for the public to be | alarmed. It'is simply a case show- ing symptoms of cerebro-spinal men- | ingitis which cropped up during the | early hours of the morning two days ago. The ' patient {is progressing very favorably, and there is no rea- son whatever why the public should be unduly alarmed as the two di- seases--infantile paralysis and cere- bro-spinal. meningitis--are caused by distinet and clearly 'differentiat- ed types of germs, Contrary to statements, cerebro-spinal meningi- tis serum {is not used for infantile paralysis, It is, however, highly nséful and life saving in the treat- ment: of cerebro-spinal meningitis. "It is most unfortunate that the » public should be alarmed by an in- fantile paralysis scare merely be- cause there happens to be a mild epidemic many thousands of miles away. " OPINION UNANIMOUS FOR C.N.R. SUBWAY (Continued from page 1) out, "the arguments advanced in be- half of the plan are all unanswer- able. Everyone that I know about is in favor of it, what more needs to be said?" Mr. Storie, however, pointed out that the development of South Osh- awa is the point that will appeal most to taxpayers within the city. Oshawa is growing, but too much of its growth is outside the city limits when such a large and potentially populous area is merely waiting on action with regard to the subway. "Traffic delay is but ome of the anpoying features linked up with the present leyel crossing," Mr. Storie pointed out. "There is, also, the element of danger. Perhaps that factor is not very large, but it exists despite the best efforts of the rail- way to avoid accidents. "The hope of a station to be erect- ed north of the crossing is' linked up with the subway scheme.

F. Kerr, K.C, County Crown Attorney, vesterday. Mr. Kerr told Col. W. H. Floyd, magistrate of Cobourg, that he had heen informed by creditable persons that the policeman did not serve Mr. Levy personally, but left it at his home. * Mr. Levy was said to have been out of town when the summons was left, and to haye returned too late to attend the hearing. "Unless 1 can prove wilful disobey- ance," continued the crown attorney, "I am not able to ask for a warrant for 'Mr. Levy's summary apprehension on a charge of contempt of court." A summons for Levy to appear in court yesterday was sent to Toronto on Saturday, but no reply was received that the summons was served. Levy did not appear yesterday.

The jurymen held that 12 francs (47 cents) a day for food and travel expenses is insufficient.
