A. C. White Acquitted at the Assizes at Cochrane panelled at Coc of manslaughte of Hoyle, retu gullty. The two Pearce brothers, Ewart and Percy, were discharged by the judge after a jury brought in a verdict of not guilty, although he had practically told them before they left the courtâ€" room that they could not bring in such a verdict. He stated that he could not possibly imagine how they came to such a conclusion. He also warned the young men that they should be well behaved from now on. All the way through the story, the boys stuck to the story they told in police court here that they had been looking for water for their car on the night the shooting cccurred. They conducted their own deâ€" fence, crossâ€"examining the crown witâ€" nesses and delivering an address to the jJury. Hoyle Citizen Freed of Manslaughter Charge. _ Pearce Brothers Acquitted on Robbery Charge, Though Judge Criticizes Jury for This. Jury Hears of Fifth Shot. Warned by Neighbour A. C. White told again the story of the shooting of Eddie Police on June 18th about 11 p.m. He had been warned by a neighbour that it looked as if an attempt was being made to rob his gaâ€" rage. He had gone down to the buildâ€" ing near the road where he believed he saw three or more men robbing his garage, which had been robbed three times this year, and had fired four shots, one of which had struck Police as he was about to crawl over the gate. A story of a fifth shot was introâ€" duceq into the trial, but the origin of it was never understood. On the witâ€" ness stand, White stated that this shot appeared to have come from the direcâ€" tion of the road. Asked why he had not mentioned it before, he stated that he. had, . not wanted to for fear it might lead to more serious trouble for the boys. The Pearces had previously told of hearing five or six shots rather than four, but thought they all came from the same direction. White‘s revolver indicated that only four shots had been fired Teachers Hear of New Ideas from Authority from it Criticizes Comice Strips Dr. Karr criticized severely the comic strip as presented in most newspapers â€"its bad effect on the vocabulary and grammar used by a child and its genâ€" eral influence.

Tracing the origin of Lions clubs, Mr. Connell said that the lion was chosen becouse it is generally accepted as the most noble of animals. In years gone by sculptors have chosen the lion as often as the symbol of jusâ€" tice and right as any other animal. The British lion brings to mind not so much power as fair play and might used in just purposes. So the Lions have power through their great numâ€" bers, the speaker remarked, to do great gcod in the community. Unlike most organizations that bear the names of animals, Lions clubs are not what is generally termed "fraternal"‘ organizaâ€" tions. There are no sick benefits, life insurance, or any other such thing conâ€" nected with them. They are to exis! purely for the purpose of rendering tc the comunity at large s would not otherwise be are to assist those who help themselves, and in improve the world.
