ARE THEY SAFE BLOWERS ?
A Jury Will Inquire Into Deeds of Jas. Dean and Ferguson This Coming Week.
County Court will open here on Tuesday next with Judge Stevens presiding. The principle interest is over the treatment of two itimerant gentlemen who were arrested in November last, charged with breaking into the C P R station at East Florenceville and with stealing a horse. It is supposed by a good many people that they are connected with other misdeeds committed in the vicinity, though it will be necessary to conclusively prove their guilt.
It will be remembered that a number of burglaries were reported some weeks previous to the arrest of these parties. The C P R station at Houlton was burglarized, and on that occasion the station was demolished. Mr George Tracey's store at Richmond Corner was invaded, and then the station house at East Florenceville was entered.
Only a small sum of money was taken in this case. The police got what they thought was a clue to the parties committing these latter indiscretions. It was plain to them that the work was not that of green horns, as the drilling of the various safes attacked was done in a thoroughly professional manner, and the safe was blown to 'blazes"

as a burglar well trained in his business and duly graduated should do the work. The night that Florenceville station was broken into, a horse and wagon were stolen. They were temporarily borrowed from Mr Hunter, and a few days afterwards were recovered by deputy sheriff Foster and Constable Woolverton at Deep Creek, four miles above Woodstock on the east side of the river, in an old unoccupied building. Inquiries were made and they led the officers to hunt in the direction of Millville. From Millville a clue led the sheriff and his men to Hawkshaw, and it was there that the two gentlemen now on trial were arrested. The arrest was made by some local parties, led by Constable E Scott. Foster and Woolverton arrived in time to take the men in charge. They made no attempt at resistance. On their persons were found several things, a revolver apiece, for instance, a file or two, powder, all of which have their uses. The men were brought to Woodstock and examined before Police Magistrate Dibblee, who sent them up for trial. Their photographs were taken under difficulty. Ever since their arrest they resided at Upper Woodstock. They have written no letters and have been decidedly uncommunicative.

One of them gives his name as Jas. Dean, and the other says he is Ferguson, whether Tom, Bill, Jack, or Zedikiah he will not state. It may be stated that when arrested they had some $20, and it was small change. It is said that small change was missing from the Florenceville station, but of course all this will come out at the trial.
The C P R Company being interested in the case have had a detective working on the same, and it will be entertaining to hear what he has succeeded in feretting out. Mr Charles Appleby B C L will represent the Crown. Mr A B Carvell the railway Company.

Presentation to C Rideout
The Sunday School at Peel, of which he was a member, presented Clarence Rideout with a Bagster's Teacher's Bible, Morocco bound, before he left for South Africa. Mr Eugene W Harmon made the presentation and read the following address, to which Mr Rideout very feelingly replied, thanking the school for their appropriate gift:
Mr Clarence W Rideout
Dear Friend and Brother, -We the undersigned members of our S S wish to present you with this Bible as a token of our affection and regard. We are delighted to take this means of conveying to you our united love. We would be untrue to our feelings if we did not wish you a pleasant voyage across the Atlantic a happy sojourn in South Africa, and a safe return to your native Canada. We could not desire a better respentative among the protectors of our King and realm, than yourself, yet we cannot say good-by without regret. However, we believe you will return to us as you leave, with your heart in the right place, and the brotherly grasp of the hand with which you bid us adieu, will be just as emphatic when you return. Take this book as your guide through, we hope, a long and useful life. We believe if you follow its precepts it will prove of inestimable value, as it is a " lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path ". Study it carefully and prayerfully, it will guide you safely into that haven of rest which we all hope to gain, and may you daily increase in heavenly grace more and more until you come into the everlasting kingdom.

The residence of Mr and Mrs W B Dayton, St Marys, York county, was the scene of a very pretty wedding at 4 o'clock Wednesday evening, when their second daughter, Bertie A., became the wife of David W Hamilton, M. A., principal of the consolidated school at Kingston. The ceremony was performed by Rev J J Teasdale, in the presence of a number of invited guests, chiefly relations and immediate friends. The bride was charmingly attired in cream silk with white veil and carried a bouquet of carnations. There was no bridesmaid or groomsman, but Mrs John Garraty, of Cambridge (Mass.), an aunt of the bride, was a matron of honor. After the ceremony a wedding supper was served.
The bridal presents included a gold watch and chain from the groom, a silver tray from Chief Supt. Inch, and volumes of Shakespeare, and Tennyson's books from Prof Roberston, of Ottawa.
Mr and Mrs Hamilton have gone to St John and their intention is to visit Boston, Montreal and Quebec before proceeding to Kingston to take up their residence.

O what is life, 'tis like a flower
That blossoms and is gone;
It flourishes its little hour
With all its beauties on;
Death comes and like a wintery day
It cuts the lovely flower away.

Lord what is life, if spent with thee
In humble praise and prayer;
How long or short our life may be
We feel no anxious care,
Though life depart our joy shall last
When life and all its joys are past.

Still Claims the Record
To the Editor:
Dear Sir__I see in your last issue a piece entitled " another record breaker." I would like to say a few things concerning it. We still claim the record for one week's work, we did not claim the record for one day's work, nor did we for five and one half days although we were not more than 5 3/4 days pressing 80 tons. Two years ago we pressed 70 1/2 tons in 5 1/2 days one of our men had never pressed a ton of hay before and one was a fifteen year old boy. I think this equals Messrs Smith's work, as we were not making no effort to do big work. I also claim that it does not make three or four tons different in pressing 15 tons of straw although it makes a slight difference. They also call us their challengers, we never challenged any crew neither did we write " the Record Breaker, ' as that is not our style. But whenever any crew gets more than 80 tons in one week by honest day work we will better it. They also insinuate that we had help from other teams and men but we had no help in any way or any occasion.
I understand that they have the feed box of their press enlarged, a great advantage to them.
We also claim the record for one month having pressed 285 1/2 tons an average of 11 tons per day have papers to show for all our work.

George Glew, Woodstock, did not join "E" Battery till after he arrived in Halifax, there being some hitch in the matter. He did not get his share of the New Brunswick contingent fund, but he will not go, altogether, unrecompensed. At a meeting of the South African fund contingent committee in St John, the treasurer stated that $646 was the amount of balance now on hand. It was decided to devote $146 towards printing a list of subscribers and other statements, and that the remaining $500 would be divided amongst seven applicants, with $79 to each first, and $61 to each second contingent man. MR Glew will therefore at the least get $61 out of the fund.

Nothing Like Asking
The chatter in the St. John Telegraph has this sketch of Woodstock:
A well know commercial traveller, who has just returned from a trip up river, tells an interesting story of an experience he had in a Woodstock restaurant a few nights before he left there. He had been stopping at the Carlisle, and at the time there were many American tourists there. They were like most other tourists, dressed well, had money to burn, and were anxious to burn it. On the night in question the commercial man started out for a walk in company with an another St. John man. The night was warm and they were thirsty, but not at all anxious to drink fruit syrup, soft beers or any other similar abominations. Just at that time a glass of Bass' extra would have filled the bill. While they were debating, a bunch of tourists passed by and with the remark ' here's the place,' disappeared into a restaurant. Involuntarily the St. Johners followed them and lined up in front of a soda fountain. The spokesman of the tourist bunch asked if he could purchase a drink, in about the same tone he would employ in asking his boss for a raise in salary or loan. The clerk said something about Uno beer, 3 per cent, and with a sigh the Yankee said 'that'll do.' Then the St John man approached and without any hesitancy said "I'll have a Scotch; what's yours Joe?' and __wonder of wonders__ he got it too, though Woodtsock is supposed to be a Scott act town.

The Old Boys in the West.
To the editor of the Press:-
........................Calgary, Dec 27, 1913
A number of old Carleton county boys are in the habit of meeting very often at the office of one of their number here at Calgary and talking over old times and old friends away back in the 'garden of New Brunswick.'
The Press comes to hand regularly and is looked forward to and read with interest by the group. The items are discussed and many stories in connection with parties to whom the items refer are brought up.
The 'Carleton County Group' referred to were very sorry to read of the death of Hugh Johnston whom they all knew and respected. The boys were also interested in that story of the late Mr Johnston's encounter with the bears as related by Geo W Upham ex- M L A.
Some one in our bunch referred to the fact that Mr Upham was somewhat of a bear hunter himself, though the genial George's well known modesty would prevent him claiming this.
It appears according to the story told by one of the old boys that brother Upham was operating on the Wapske a few seasons ago and spent several days one summer looking over the scene of his operations.
While walking with a companion along the banks of the stream, Mr Upham noticed a fine bear on the other side standing in full view close to the bank, and gathering all his nerve together fired, slightly wounding the animal, which while it jumped around somewhat, made no effort to get farther away. Mr Upham while somewhat afraid that the bear might take a sudden notion to cross the stream and attack him, still kept as steady a hand as possible under the circumstances and fired again putting Mr Bruin out of business. He then with his companion made his way as fast as possible across the stream to get the bear, which he found had been tied and in its struggles had hanged himself.
The joke on our friend George appears to have been this:
Parties who had been lumbering along the river early in the season left a lot of logs and fender rope about the banks and the bear in the course of his ramblings accidently got his nose caught in the rope. The rope got down about his neck and acted practically as a trap. Here he had remained for about two weeks and was nearly starved when George came along. It appears when Mr Upham fired the first shot, the bear jumped and falling down over the bank was hanged by the rope which had kept him captive. That was as near as George came to shooting a bear, but he has since been in politics and has been used to firing hot shot at the Carleton County tories, and can probably shoot straighter now.
ONE OF THE BOYS.

Important Cases
To be Tried at the Circuit Court This Week.
Mr Justice Gregory will appear on the bench in Carleton County for the first time this coming week, saving his brief occupancy last week when the court was formally adjourned. His honor will have ample opportunity to exercise his acknowled intimacy with the law, for several very important cases are to be tried.
These are the criminal cases:-
The King vs Craig assault, The King vs Sadie Aboud, theft, The King vs Albert Brown, assault, The King vs F H Stevens, libel.
Albert Brown is charged with an assault on Ex- Mayor Murphy, the alleged assault taking place during one of the day's races when the exhibition was being held.
F H Stevens, editor of the Hartland Advertiser is charged with libel. It is alleged that he published in his newspaper, a report of a confession made by Mrs Freeman, in which she said to have stated that one George Sargent who disappeared in 1873 from Bridgewater, Me., was murdered, and that the article reflected injuriously on the complainant George L. Freeman.
An important civil cause is the action of Dr Clarence Kirkpatrick against the C P Railway Company for negligence.
This case arises over the accident whereby the Grand Falls bridge went down as a train was going over it in July 1900. The plaintiff was on the train at the time, and went down with the car in which he was.
A case of slander is on the panel. Wm. J Kelly sues John Kerr, Pliff's counsel J J Gallagher.
Stephen B Appleby K C, will represent the Crown in the criminal cases.

Inspectore Colpitts entered charges for violation of the Scott Act against Alex Munro of the Brunswick House and T J Boyer of the Victoria Hotel; there were four cases against the former and eight violations charged against the latter. The trial before magistrate Dibblee took place on Saturday. A B Connell, K C, prosecuted and J C Hartley, defended the cases. The informer, a man named Shorey, swore that he belonged to the State of Maine but had made recent visits to Woodstock; he knew Alex Munro; he was in his place of business, near the bridge on the morning and afternoon of Jan 2nd; he bought a pint of Irish whiskey from Munro in each case, and paid 50c every time. He was satisfied that the liquor was intoxicating. On cross-examination, he said he arrived in Woodstock by train about 1 o'clock ; appeared to be in doubt whether there were a pair of stairs near where the liquor was supposed to have been sold him; was not sure at first that he bought liquor in the afternoon, but afterwards swore that he did, on two occasions, between 2 and 4 o'clock and dusk. Shorey gave similar evidence in all the cases against Munro. He gave evidence against T J Boyer. Both cases were postponed until this morning.
