The truck people claim that the Snpert

This ths superb denied when seen bv a re-.

head u was Smith. the truczman. who lost
his feet. Anyhow, Smith stumbled. Hewas

Smith can give no account oft. He mere-
~ SAYS that the goat kept romping back
ward aud forward in the box and that
something's he had to bear the whole weight

When Smith fell the end Of the box came
on him, and Ri gins chung to the other

every time that il was his turn TO be or
bis back he noticed the Boss Mason acting
like maniac az the head Of the stairway
and Smith was (now and them in a posi-.

denies. I'm fact. at the time the reporter
took the Last boat from Windsor il seemed
70 be impossible to get the real facts of the
affair. or 10 find who was 20 blame.
The box, which is now admitted TO have
been TOO fraiI, lr ke in pieces over poor
Smith, and the goat, with one wild bound.
stood in the center Of Sandwich street.
Higgins had been sent to Coventry by
alighting on his head. The B. VI. claims
that n smith had collected himself at the
time he could have captured the goat.
but Smith says, with some truth, that he
had first 90 collect the splinters of the
box from various parts of his person be-
for hs could move. BE that as il NAV
the wild. untamed goat started on it's ca

The squire recently joined the Masons
and nad passed the second degree The
goat appeared 70 recognize him, and
saerei look came in Boulton's face as ne
saw the goat IL is thought the goat
made up its mind that Windsor was
one rreat Masonic lodge working in the
thiTi degree. The goat made for Boulton
aud B7u'ton made for the ferry. The
animsi caught him amidships just at the
ticket otiice and he was the only man who
passed that place without paying his fare

took two men half an hour to disentangls
the ticket man from the remnants OF the
wire screen that surrounds his Office
Much dissatisfaction j. expressed against
the Boss Mason. who refused to make
sign that would stop the wholesale initia-
tion that was going on. His excuse is that
be dared not DO it except in the lodge
room.
The un'iring brute then began working
down Sandwich street. and for three
blocks made Nasons of every one il met.
