The police investigated and tound that the man was then in the local jail. Yesâ€" terday, his term being up, he was givâ€" en hMs lWherty. Detectives Andarson and Moflatt arrested him. He will be arraigned | in the Police Court this motning and held until the arrival of an officer from Berlin. by two rufians and robbed of het purse containing a considerable amâ€" ount of money. One of the assailants, Wm, Houghâ€" ton, an Englishman, was cleverly arâ€" rested by Chicf O‘Ncill and pleaded guilty to the offence. _ He was senâ€" tenced _ by the Magistrate to four years in Kingston penitentiary. It was known that Ci@bbons was along with Houghton and Chiect O‘~ Neill has been keeping his eyes open for him ever since. Chie? O‘Neill went to Toronto this morning to bring (Gibbons back to Berlin to face frial on a charge of highway robbery committed in Berlin in Febtuaty, 1907, The offence took place on Benton street near Alma streot when Mrs. Board was attacket GIBBONS HAS After the discussion of the strect railway question the meeting adicurnâ€" ed at 10 â€"o‘clock.

During the short period. that this preference has been in vogue, it hasâ€"been fruitful of beneficent results to the farmers and tradesâ€" men of many counties and we beâ€" lieve that they onc and all are unanimous in the opinion that this preferential regulation should be further continued. The Board is alive to the importâ€" ance of this matter, and if recessary will send a geputation to Ottawa to lay the case before the Tarifi Comâ€" mission and the Finance Minister. There \.s a somewhat informal disâ€" eussion â€"n the question, al}l of those takin; part being strongly in favor Oof continuing the concession. _ After M ssrs. Smyth, Scellen, DeBus and Monsberger had expressed their views the following resolution was passed: ‘‘That in the opinion of this Board of Trade the privilege acâ€" corded to manufacturers of beet sugar, of importing at the miniâ€" mum tate of duty, two pounds : of raw sugar for each pound manuâ€" factured: from beets, shoukd be \ further extended until such time ~ as it carn be fully demonstrated that tho manufacture of bect sugar l is essentially a Canadian indusâ€" | try. ; _ Your immediate action in reference to this matter.will be greatly appreâ€" ciated.

Yours truly, f THE WALLACEBURG SUGAR Co » ‘ Limited. If we are correct in â€" this assumpâ€" tion, we hope to enlist your sympaâ€" thy, and would | ask you to take prompt action in this matter â€" and put the facts before the powers that be in Ottawa, so that there will be no misunderstanding as to what your wish really is. our customers and the {ariners in the fight to be waged, and would ask each one, if sufficiently interested,. to take the matter up with their locai | momber, and if they will also write as strong a letter as they possibly ean to the Ministers _ ol the Tufl‘ Commission, Messrs. W., S. Fielding, L. P. Brodeur and Wm. Patterson, we wWill esteem it a very great favor. We think the law should be _ conâ€" tinued as it is at present, as _ the margin is exceedingly small and we are unable to get any such profit, as the larger refineries who are located on the coast, can secure their raw sugar which is delivered direct to the refineries from the markets of~ the world.. . . We put {forth an earnest effort to meet the wishes of our customers, [m,m from the liberal support that bas been accorded to us, our efforts in this direction; have been fully appregiated.

The load is hege, all that is Chairman Breithaupt brought _ up the question of the mnecessity of the town taking immediate action in orâ€" der to be ready for Niagara power when it is transmitted to _ Betlin. The byâ€"laws for the raising of $35,000 for machinety for Niagara power, and £$8000 for gas mains had been defeatâ€" ed at the municipal elections and it was in the interests of the _ town that they should again be submitted. During the last three months â€" the price ol imachinery has increased maâ€" terialy and the sum of $40,000 would be required to.install the distribution plant, and $8000 for gas mains, makâ€" ing a total of $48,000.
