He intends to erect a fine residence on the property. Mr. Peter Dow, who worked his way to the position of teller in tho local branch of the Bank of Com- m''.-o, left ast 'vveek xcr Forest, where he is relieving. Mr. Ross Ewart of Chesley has taken the ledger and Bert Crawford was pro- moted to the teller's cage. Rev. M. Saunders, pastor of the Flesherton and Rock Mills Baptist Churches, tendered his resignation recently and will be dealt with by both churches. Rev. Saunders has been in Flesherton for the past two years and during that time has hpd an excellent pastorate and has made many warm friends who will be sorry to see him leave. A young lady of our acquaintance when passing through Kitchener one day recently, left a large purse con- taining $22 in cash, a valuable string of pearl beads, fountain pen and other things, hanging on the door in the civic rest room. When fifteen miles away she discovered her losi and communicated with the Kitchener police. T\vo days afterwards a tele- phone message informed her thattnc purse had bicn found by a young eirl It is rcfrenhing to know that there exists a young girl who could reii'^r the temptation to hang on'.) a string of pearls.. Had there been "o^hirg but monev in th- purse the h.inding of tha find over to the police would rot h-ivc seemed so remark- abb an event. Cost Will Be Heavy Repairs to the damage wrought by the heavy floods are going ahead and within a few days will be fairly well completed. A six foot culvert is being placed at the fill on the Eugen- ia road, where very little water runs, even in the spring. Mr. A. F. Pedlar informs us that culvert has been fall- en in for years and no water could escape by seepage. Then a five foot steel culvert has been placed in the washout at the head of the pond, where a creek is always flowing, draining the large section of country to the south. H. A. McCauley has strengthened his dam that should last for many years yet. The timber of the bridges and cul- , verts washed out in the valley has ' been located and will be returned to their respective places. Mr. H. Pat- ton, Aitsmesia township road super- intendent, reports that the esthnate for repairing the washouts of roads and culverts and the loss of a bridge on Herb NichoU's sideroad would am- ount to approximately $3700. He al- so stated that no bridge, culvert or fill, built in 1928 under the new syst- em was washed out in the recent heavy rains. Mr. Wm. Moore this week has the Provincial road maintainer at work repairing the road on his beat which has been in bad condition on account of the heavy rains. There has been little through traffic to Toronto the past week or so on account of the impassable condition of the road at Caledon, but should improve from now on. Golden Wedding Wednesday of last week, April 10, v/as a red-letter day for two esteem- ed citizens of Flesherton, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Crossley, it being the 50th anniversary of their wedding. In the afternoon of that day, Mrs. Os- 3ar Phillips and Mrs. W. A. Hawken called on Mr. and Mrs. Crossley and on behalf of the citizens of Flesherton and various organisations, presented them with a purse, containing fifty dollars in gold. Mrs. J. P. Ottewell and Mrs. D. Williams also called and presented them with ten dollars from the Baptist Church .Mission Circle. Most of the family were present to celebrate the day. In the evening Mr. and Mrs. Crossley entertained two of the former's old school mates, in the person of Mrs. Emma Waters (nea Emma Merrick) and Ye Ed- itor at a lavish tea, when the old school days were gone over and pranks of youth recounted. During I the evening very mny citizens called land tendered their felicitations to the "happy couple," wishing them I many returns of the day. I Fifty years ago Mr. Crossley I entered into matrimonial partnership |v,ith Charlotte Spikor of Duncan and I those who knew this estimable family I will certainly acknowledge that the ! partnership has been most happy to i the principals concerned but also of , the right kind when the interests of I humanity at large are considered. They have been good citizens, and The Advance is pleased to add its 'well wishes for the iieaith and hap- piness of Mr. and Mrs. Crossley for I many years to come. We are also ' exceei'ingly pleased to note that I Mr. Crossley is successfully over- cuming th^ serious illness with which h has been battling during the past winter. VILLAGE COUNCIL ! The village council met on Monday night April 8th, with all members present. ihe Reeve and Mr. IM'cCauU - were appointed committee to interview MV. Alder with the view of having the provincial road dragged by the prov- ince. The Reeve, McCauley and Mathew- son were appointed to procire a I dump ground for the village.

Constable Is Freed From all the evidence adduced I believe the circumstances warranted the accused in believing he had a right to dj what he did," said County Judge W. D. Swayzo last F-iday at Lindsay, in discharging Robert Pur- vis, a Provincial Police officer, who came up for judgment on the charge of shooting at Peter Brennan with in- tent to maim him near Bolsovcr on February 16. Tho case was heard on March 28, and his Honor then reserved his de- cision. Brennan, with Orval Shaw, "Skunk's Misc- v" fueitive, escaped from Kent County jail, in December last. The forrr.er was serving a term for vag- rancy and the latter was awaiting removal to the Ont^ario Reformatory to serve a sentonae for violation of parole and escaping from custody. Both men wore encountered by five Privincial officers near Bolsover in the early hours of February 16. Sev- eral shots were fii-ed in their direct- ion 'When thev attempted to make a getaway. Shaw escaped, but Bren- nan was fatally shot. Purvis claim- ed he acted in self defence and aimed at Brennan's legs, with no intention of killing him. The judge stated: "I come to this conclusion with some hesitation, ow- ing to the fatal results which followed the shooting by the accused, but be- lieve he aited in good faith in the discharge of his duty, and believing that shooting was the last resort to enable him to place the deceased Brennan under arrest after all other efforts had failed. This is a matter of judgment on the part of the one taking the step. His act may have been hasty, but I would not say that, in the circumstances surrounding him at the time of the shooting, together with previous reports and warnings, his judgment was so erroneous as to make him liable under the charge laid â€" while the absence of any of these circumstances would have done so. "The accused should be warned how dange-ous it is to make use of fire- arms in endeavoring to make an ar- rest. You have taken a human life which, without justification, is the most serious of all offenses. I am satisfied that there was no intent- ion on your part that what you did should have the result which follow- ed in the case. I am satisfied that you have already suffered and will suffer more in regret and remorse than any punishment I might be I permitted to impose upon you. This should be a warning to all othe • con- stables of the danger of using fire- 'i arms in making an arrest, which is I only permitted as a last resr.rt where ' all other efforts fail, and should not , be restored to where the accused is charged with minor offenses." "You have taken a hunibl'i lifs, which, without justification, is the most seriou? nffenji," hesnid.whan addressina- Purvis. The Court was I satisfied that accused had no intent- ion to kill, but added that Purvis would continue to suffer in regret and rcmorso in(ir-> \hM-. :"iny ncn:.'j;y that might havo been imposed. MAXWELL The Women's Institute met at the home of Mrs. Louis Kerton on Thurs- day last. Roll call was in the IVjin of a seed and plant exchange.
