Many schemes are on foot to rob upsus-
pecting farmers. The last one comes from
Western Pennsylvania. Henry Schmautz
lives on a farm in Moon township, Beaver
county, and is out $237. The other day
two men stopped at his house and told him
they would like to test his lightning rod.
He permitted them to do so, and they pro-
nounced it "no good" They said they
wanted to advertise their rod in that sect
ion and would put one up for him free of
charge II he would pay for the post which
went into the ground. He agreed and
signed what he supposed to be an agree
| ment to that effect. Next morning bright
| and early the men were on hand, tore
down the old rod and put up new one.
Now he discovers very unpleasantly that
he had signed a note for $237 and the visi-
| tors had discounted it at a bank.

Two Murderers Hanged.

Gaddy and Rocette, the murderers OF
Settler McLeish at Wolsley. N. w, r., were
launched into eternity at Regina, Rocette
bore up without flinching asd spoke on
the scaffold. He said he was no murderer
and did not regret having a rope about
held up well also. He was attended by
Reverends Gregory and Daniels, Episcopa-
lians. He appeared penitent for tho
crime, aud received the sacrament the
day before his execution. Rocette was at
tended by Fathers Graton<and Leduc.
When the bolt shot they dropped and
died instantly. not a muscle OF either
moving. Both slept we'll during the
night, and ate a good breakfast. Rocette
especially. He ate eight eggs and a nnm-
Der OF slices OF toast, and drank wine.
stable OF Hector hScLeish, a farmer,
was broken into and pony
stolen. A party Of citizens started in
pursuit nextday, overtaking the thieves the
following day, when in an encounter Nc
Leish was shot and subsequently died OF
his wound. The thieves were half breeds,
Gaddy and Rocette. The pursuing party
found out that the hall. breeds were con.
cealed in a house about a mile from Vol.
walked out late at night to keep
guard and report which way they
went il they left the house, and the rest OF
the party would come out at daylight.
They tried to make the capture alone.
The night was very dark, and as they were
about entering the front door the police
man was knocked down from behind and
became insensible. He had a revolver in
his hand at the time which he dropped.
As McLeish turned to grapple with the as.
sailant another hail. breed rushed out Of
the house, picking up the policeman's re.
volver and shot McLeish once in the back
and once in the lett arm. The desperadoes
then decamped, it is supposed for Crooked
Lakes. Prisoners were tracked from point
to point, but always evaded their pur.
suers, and finally escaped across the line,
where they were taken in custody by
American authorities and brought over
the line for trial a few months ago.
