G. W. Green in Trouble
On Thursday last G. W. Green, the well known liquor spotter was arrested by A. R. Foster, provincial constable, on a warrant issued from the court of Stipendiary Magistrate Shaw of Bath. The warrant charged that G. W. Green did unlawfully fire a revolver at Hermon Green of Bristol with intent to do grievous bodily harm.

At the preliminary hearing, the boy testified that he was at work at the wood working factory at Bristol and when Green entered the door, he, having no desire to meet his name-sake, passed out another way and ran up the road. Gordon Whitfield Green gave chase, and called on Hermon to stop or he would drop him in his tracks, and he fired several shots, one of which, Hermon alleges, struck the ground within three feet of him. A young lady witness of unimpeachable veracity gave straightforward evidence corroborating in substance that given by the complainant. Another witness gave similar evidence. Ruel Hallett a companion and co-worker of G. W. Green was called, and without coat or vest shambled forth to testify. He swore that there were no revolver shots and his story was a practical denial of the testimony of the former witnesses. His Honor refused to accept the evidence of this individual and exclaimed, with some heat, "young man, you should be behind the bars yourself." Then arose a hot argument among counsels and magistrate, ending with the latter protesting that he was "running this court" and demanded that the two lawyers "shut up." They obeyed.

The case was sent up for trial at the next Circuit Court, G. W. Green being held in bonds of $1,000.
J. R. H. Simms was prosecuting attorney and M. L. Hayward appeared for the defendant.

The body of a man supposed from the marks of indentification to be that of Albert Adams, of South Tilley, who drowned at Rowena on Saturday, April 8, was found on the bank of the river near Presque Isle island, three miles below Florenceville last Thursday night. The discovery was made by Nelson Smith, of Arthurette, who was running a raft down the river.

The body was lying high up on the river bank with one heel in the water. The man was apparently about 40 years of age, 5 feet 6 inches in height, light moustache and thin dark hair. He wore a dark reefer lined with grey cloth with a belt, dark pants and shoepacks with soles similar to those of gum rubbers. In the man's pocket was found a $5 bill of the Bank of Montreal and about 40 cents in change. The body was in a fairly well preserved state.

Dr. D. W. Ross, Coroner was notified and after examining the body communicated with C. R. Williamson of Rowena, who last talked with Adams. The indentification was made through the peculiar shoepacks the man wore and the amount of money found on his person.

Burial was made in the Baptist burying ground, Florenceville, on Saturday.- Perth News.
