Not long ago suspicious looking stranger
called On dentist Of this city and ordered
an artificial tooth to be made and placed in
his mouth where he had lost front tooth.
The man of the forceps took the proper
casts and measurements and promised the
tooth to be ready at an early day named. De-
tective Walker got his keen eyes on the
stranger and wondered who he might be.
Subsequently the Daily Wing published an
item to the effect that the st. John police had
received photograph and description of one
VIM. Heney who is charged with the murder
of John Morrison st Bearbrook, Russell
County, Ontario, on the 18th of June last.
The paper also published description of the
man. When Mr.. Walker read it, he thought
it answered as a description of the queer
looking stranger who ordered the tooth The
matter is made rather more suspicious from
the fact that the man has not called for the
tooth, although when he ordered 1t he was
particular as to its being done on certain
date, The Ontario Government offers $3.50
| for the apprehension Of VIM. Heney. The
description of the man is as follows: "He
is "a years old. FIVE feet ten inches in height
and weighs lGO pounds; his complexion is
very dark, and he has raven black hair, and
small, dark grey eyes; his forehead 10 of a
very peculiar shape and has furrow running
across it midway between the eyes and then
a rise, then hollow, and the end rises again.
One front tooth is out, and he has large
dimple in his chin; his shoulders ere . little
stopped, and he walks with . shufling gait "

serves as belt wheel. The stamps
weigh from $50 to 800 pounds A
heavy spring is attached to each
stamp, which adds so much more te

the upright pillars into position. The
