McCallum, Progressive M.P.P. for South Bruce, has settled for the cow he killed near Black Horse, Kinloss Twp., on the evening of November 18, while hurrying in his car to attend a public meeting he was holding in Walkerton that night in connection with his election campaign. The bovine was so completely knock- ed out by the impact from the Pro- gressive's big McLaughlan that the owner had its dead carcass removed on a stone boat shortly after the crash. .â- ^s it appears that the ani- mal, along with several cattle, was being driven home at the time, and tho motorist didn't see it in time to avoid a collision, the owner of the beast put in a claim for $90 in the hands of Mr. David Robertson, K.C., for the collection and the local mem- ber settled the matter the other day by coming across with the necessary currency. The bowling over of the cow wa? the first big hit Mi". Mc- Calluni made in his late campaign. â€" Ex. ROCK MILLS SCHOOL FOR JAN.
