Why Jase
Was Late

Mister, sir.
My boy Jass had to be late today. It is his biznes to milk our
cow. She is a kicky cow. She kicked Jass in the back today when
he wasn't looking so he thought his back was broke but it aint.
But it is black and blue. If you dont believe it you can see. The

A Gruesome
Discovery
Body of a Dead Infant Found in a Furnace.
Mr. G. W. Vanwart made a gruesome discovery early on Sunday
morning. He had gone to the cellar with his hired man Robert
Magee, whom he instructed to light a fire in the furnace, first
telling him to clean out the furnace, which was filled with a lot
of stuff including a board which projected out of the door. The
man removed everything and both were horrified to find in the
furnace the body of an infant. Mr. Vanwart immediately notified
Coroner Hay and Marshall Kelly. The result was that Mr. Hay
empannelled a jury and opened an inquest on Monday morning.
Previous to this the marshall arrested on suspicion a domestic,
who was working at J. N. W. Winslow's, and sleeping at Mr.
Vanwart's, by the name of Linda Drost.
At the inquest Mr. Vanwart stated how he came to find the body.
He had suspected that the girl Linda Drost was in the family way
some weeks before and had advised her to go home. She went away
and was away some three weeks and then came back. In the meantime
he had hired another girl, and Linda went to work with Mrs.
Winslow, occuping a room at Mr. Vanwart's at night. After
discovering the body he told the girl of it and her answer was
that he might do with it as he liked.
Mr. J. N. W. Winslow stated that Linda Drost worked at his house
for the past two weeks. She was at work every day, coming at half
past six in the morning and remaining till eight. Late in the
summer he had noticed her passing in the garden and suspected
that she was enciente but concluded afterwards that his
suspicions were unfounded.
Mrs. Vanwart and Mrs. Winslow also gave testimony along the same
lines. The hearing was then adjourned until Tuesday morning to
admit of a post-mortem examination being held.
The attorney-general was notified of the case and deputed W. P.
Jones to watch the inquest in behalf of the Crown. T. C. L.
Ketchum was present in the interests of the girl Linda Drost. She
has been taken to the gaol.

Fractured
His Spine
A very serious accident occurred at Hartland, N.B.; Monday
morning about 11 o'clock, as the result of which Benjamin McIsaacs, son of a well known East
Florenceville fruit dealer, is now suffering with a dislocated
shoulder and a fractured spine.
Mr. McIsaacs was on the roof of his house, working, losing his
balance, fell to the ground. His injuries are expected to prove
fatal, the doctor holding but little hope of his recovery.
Mr. McIsaacs is a young man and very popular. He was married only
a short time ago to Miss Anna B. Miller, of Waterville, and there
will be much sympathy expressed both for him and his young wife.
Doctors Ross and Hagerman called Dr. Rankin of Woodstock, who

WANTS HER
DAUGHTER RELEASED FROM the GOOD SHEPHERD HOME.
Case Being Argued Before Mr. Justice McKeown; in the Courts
Yesterday.
The case of Barton vs Mother Superior of the Good Shepherd
Industrial Home was taken up in the supreme court chambers last
week. His honor Justice MeKeown presiding. This case was brought
on at the instance of L. A. Currey, K. C., who in behalf of the
mother of Ethel
May Barton,
who is detained in that institution, had a writ of babeas corpus
issused on Tuesday last calling upon the mother superior to show
cause for the girls dention.
The case is creating considerable interest due probably to the
fact that it is only on rare occasions that the court is called
upon to deal with anything of this nature.
The facts are as follows:
The girl
who is thirteen years old, belongs to Woodstock and was committed
to the home on Sept 24 by warrent of Judge Carleton at the
Instance of Reverend Bamfred Colpitts, of the reformed Baptist
church, special agent of the society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals and Children.
The act provides that any Roman Catholic girl under the age of
fourteen years who by reason of this neglect, drunkeness or other
vices of her parents is suffered to be growing up without
salutary control lead an idle or dissolute life being committed
to the institution.
When the case came up Wednesday afternoon J. D. Hazen, K. C.
appeared for the mother superior and claimed that in the
interests of justice the girl should be detained in the
Industrial Home. The mother, he said was not a fit person to look
after the girl and it was only for her own moral good and well
being detained.
Friday morning, the matter came up for further hearing but the
Attorney General read a letter from Dr. Curry in which the latter
asked to have the application withdrawn. His Honor then dismissed
the matter and the child will be confined in the Good Shepherd
Home until she is sixteen years of age.
Detective Killen and the girl were in court and Mr. J. King Kelly
appeared for the Woodstock S. P. C. A., who laid the information
in the first instance.

A
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
The millinery store of Mrs. A. D. Hartley at East Florenceville caught fire early Tuesday
morning, October 18th, and in spite of the efforts of the
neighbours it was burned to the ground and all the contents were
destroyed. The thing happened so quickly that it was not possible
to save even the money drawer which contained no small amount of
money. Mrs. Hartley's fall stock of millinery which had not yet
been taken from the packing cases was lost. Col. Hartley was away
at the time.
It was with the greatest difficulty that the neighbors were able
to save the residence which was about twelve feet from the store.

endeavouring to save the cash drawer was badly burned about the
hands and face. There was no insurance on the building nor on the
goods. Col. Hartley returned from the Tobique on Wednesday night.

Terrible
Tragedy at Centreville
A terrible tragedy occurred at Centreville on Saturday morning as
a result of which Mrs.
Esther Gallup is dead, and her brother, William Lewis, a
respected farmer, the innocent cause of her death, is almost
crazed with grief.
Mrs. Gallup had been visiting at her brother's home. On Saturday
morning she was sitting in his kitchen while Mr. Lewis was
examining a shotgun. Inadvertently he pulled the trigger. There
was a crash and shriek and the poor woman lay dead upon floor,
the side of her head torn away by a heavy charge of buckshot,
while the walls and ceiling of the room were spattered with
ghastly splatches of blood and brains.
The sole witness of the terrible affair was a little grandchild
of the unforunate farmer, who, but an instant previously, was
standing at Mrs. Gallup's knee, prattling childishly with the
woman to whom death came in such tragic form. Several of the shot
passed very close to the little tot's curly head, and the wonder
is that there were not two victims of the fatal shot.
Mr. Lewis at once rushed to the spot and raised the prostrate
form in his arms, only to find that apparently life was extinct.
Dr. Peppers was summoned but death had been instantaneous.
Few families in Centreville and the adjacent village of Knoxford
occupied a higher place in the community than that of which both
parties to the awful tragedy were members.
Mr. Lewis cannot account for the accident. The gun had hung in
the kitchen for years and he had never thought of its being
loaded until the fatal pulling of the hammer. He had been
intending for several days to clean it and on Saturday morning
took it down for this purpose. Without thinking, he pulled the
hammer back when it snapped and exploded and when the smoke rose
he saw his beloved sister a corpse almost at his feet.
Mrs. Esther Gallup, the victim of the sad affair, was a residence
of Knoxford, Carleton County, four miles from here. For two or
three years she resided in Michigan with her husband, James
Gallup, who died there. Last spring she returned to the home of
her childhood and has since visited her relatives.
She was 64 years of age and is survived by eight children. There
are Messrs W. L. and Allen Gallup and Mrs. Leonard Woolverton, of
Knoxford; Miss Florence Gallup, of Muniac, and Albro and Gaunce
Gallup and Mrs. I. Thomson, of Michigan.
She also leaves two brothers, William Lewis, in whose home the
tragedy occurred, and George Lewis, living on the adjoining farm,
and three sisters, Mrs. Pel Good, of Good's Corner, and Mrs. J.
and Mrs. G. Moses, both of Grand Manan.
At the time of the accident she had just completed a pleasant
four weeks' visit with her brother and was to leave the same day
to spend some time with one of her sons at Knoxford.
The body has been taken to Knoxford for burial. The funeral was
held on Tuesday afternoon and Rev. Daggett officiated.

WAR WEARY
HEROES ARRIVE HOME
Sergt. Jones and Gunner Hand Given Warm Welcome
Both Boys
Saw Hard Service-----Gunner Hand in Hands of Brutal Germans
Two of our boys who have seen long service and under gone many
hardships arrived in Halifax on the transport Royal George on the
20th inst and reached home on Friday last. They were Sergt. R. V. Jones, son of Hon.
W.P. and Mrs. Jones, and Gr. Wilfred Hand, son of Mrs. F. W. N.
Hand. A
large crowd was at the station to meet the returning heroes and
give them a very enthusiastic welcome. They were driven to their
homes by the reception committee after three lusty cheers had
been called for and given.
Before the war Sergt.
Jones was
an officer in the 10th Battery C.F.A. having qualified for his
rank. After the outbreak of the war he went to Valcartier Camp in
charge of a detachment of men from the 10th Battery, but took
sick and was sent home. He received an appointment as a
lieutenant in the 23rd Battery at Fredericton but two days before
that unit sailed was replaced by another officer who was of a
more desirable political complexion. Sergt. Jones than obtained
permission to resign his rank and enlisted as a gunner with the
same Battery, sailing for England in Frebruary 1915.
In the summer of 1915 he went to France with the 22nd Howitzer
Battery and soon worked up to the rank of sergeant. He was gassed
in the spring of 1917 and was in the hospitals in England for a
time, afterwards returning to France to the 22nd Battery. He was
again gassed in September last and was in hospital when the
armistice was signed. Sergt. Jones was on different occasions
recommended for a commission but was unable to pass the medical
examination. He looks well and is being greeted most heartily by
his townspeople, with whom he is most popular.
Gunner
Hand has had the memorable experience of being a prisoner in
Germany for two and a half years. He enlisted with the 23rd
Battery at Fredericton and went overseas with it. After being in
France for a time he volunteered for the French Mortars and was
with them when captured in the early part of 1916. He was in five
different prison camps in Germany and was subjected to the worst
samples of brutality which the Germany mind could devise. He
escaped on one occasion in company with another prisoner and got
within a stone's throw of the frontier when apprehended.
He had the unique experience of seeing the Kaiser and Hindenburg
in a railway coach when he was on a working party. Food was very
scarce and had it not been for the boxes sent from England the
prisoners would have starved. When the armistice was signed he
was in a camp not far from the Dutch frontier and when turned
loose had not far to go. He was in England about two months
before sailing for home.
"Bib" looks very well considering what he has gone
through and is being welcomed very heartily after his trying
experiences.

Three
Woodstock Heroes
Three of our Woodstock boys returned from the war in the persons of Arhtur
Glidden, Howard Jacques and Wm. George. They arrived at noon on Tuesday
having landed at a Maritime port last week with a large number of
other wounded men.
Private P
Carten
also came to Woodstock with the other boys. He left here with the
140th, was attached to the 26th, and was quite badly wounded in
recent fights.
Gunner
Howard Jacques, son of Mrs. Howe Jacques, was attached to the 8th C.F.A.,
and lost an eye and had a leg badly shattered on the Somme. He
will receive an honorable discharge.
Gunner
Arthur Glidden, son of the late Wm. F. Glidden, was a proprietor of Glidden
livery stable when he left here with the draft from the 65th
Battery. He was attached to the 18th Battery in France. He was
slightly wounded in three places, the body, throat and chin and
was generally used up.
William
George
left here with the 55th and went to France in a draft to an
Ontario Battalion in June, 1915, and fought all over the line
from where the Belgian soldiers are, down to French line, without
being wounded. He was in the trenches from June 1915, to August,
1915, then he had a rest of four months in England. Back he went
to the trenches and remained there until March 1917, when he was
sent to England, his lungs having been affected by exposure. His
most severe fights were on the Somme and at Arras.
His
brother, Woodie, was killed on the Somme, Sept. 9th, 1916, and
another brother, Theodore J., left here with the 104th, and is now in the
trenches.

Wood, who came from Brocton, Mass., and enlisted here with 104th,
returned Saturday, and is spending a few days with friends before
going to his home. Joe was a member of the famous Winnipeg
Grenadiers, (78th), and went through some thrilling experiences.
The regiment was almost wiped out, only five orginal unit being
left at the close of the war.
Visitors in Fredericton today included C. J. M. Sgt. F. L. Mooers, of
Woodstock, and his son, Staff Sgt. E. LeRoi Mooers, both of whom served in France
with the 13th Railway Battalion and have recently returned home. C.Q.M.S. Mooers was the first

SHOOTING
AFFRAY- BEDELL SETTLEMENT
George Tisdale Gets Busy
With Rifle-Shoots Valuable Cow and Fires at Ray Hall
Arrested and Committed for Trial
There was
much excitement in Bedell Settlement Tuesday morning over a
shooting affray. George Tisdale, an English immigrant who lives
with Ray Hall had some altercation with his employer and seized a
22 calibre rifle and rushed out of the house and shot a valuable
cow. Hall prevented him from entering the house and Tisdale
opened fire, one bullet barely missing Hall.
The father of Hall, who lives a short distance away, came over
and was admitted to the house through a window, the door being
barricaded.
The father and son armed themselves with a shot gun and a rifle
and held the house against the attack of Tisdale, who fired two
more shots at the elder Hall.
Sheriff Foster and deputies Mooers and Kimball went to the scene
of action and had no difficulty in arresting Tisdale, who was
brought to Woodstock and Wednesday morning was arraigned before
Police Magistrate Comben and was committed for trial for
attempted murder.
