The Nouvelle Ecosse arrived on Cape
Broyle on last Monday in quest Of
herring bait. She was seized by the
customs officials for violation of fishery
laws. A revenue officer was placed in
charge, but the crew attacked him, got
the ship to sea, threw him into a boat
and left the coast. The vessel is said
to be only one of large fleet of French
fishing craft which have been securing
bait surreptitiously and have repeatedly
refused to notice the warning of the
Canadian cutter Fiona. Just now she
has no register, as that is in the hands
of the Newfoundland customs officials
Her performances have greatly incensed

raise the whole question of the enforce
ment of the bait act, recently revived
by the government.

Mr.. Farrell when asked if such was the

The colonel's life was not insured for

care to specify the exact sum. The pre-
MUM on one policy for $1,000 was due on
August 4. In looking over certain papers

to the effect that the premium was due on
that date. | mentioned that matter to the
colonel. and he said: Well, send a check
for the amount; we might as we'll send it
now as later. /. therefore, sent the COM
pany check for $l54.49 on the Bank of

policies are made in favor of his wife.

He often said that he had made none, and
If he had changed his mind 1 am positive
that he would have mentioned the fact to
me. He died comparatively poor. He
earned an immense amount of money in
his law practice and for thirty years his
income was very large. l do not recall
any lawyer who was his equal at earning
money in the way of large fees. There
are other lawyers who have made larger
fees at times, but none that l know of
whose fees have averaged so high.
''As to the disposition OF this money. the
poor have benefited to a very great extent.

overestimated. Many non-combatants

Of the Philpots accused of killing Aaron
Morris and others. Both parties are mus
tering armed forces for marching into
Manchester today The Philpots have ff-
ty-two armed horsemen and no one knows
how many foOtmen. The Morris and Grif-
I'm factions also have a large force. The
Philpots say the latter includes the White
Howard faction.
On the other hand the Morris faction
leaders say that the Bakers have made
common cause with the Philpots. Both
sides will march fully armed into Manches-
