away certainty for an uncertainty? Will
you. fellow citizens, take a leap in the
dark. or will you stand by the grand
old party? Vote for your homes, vote for
your family, and In doing so you will
show good common sense as patriotic

Il thank you my friends for your kind

Man NOW
IDENTIFIED

PhiIias Fontaine objects 10 the intima-
tion that he is dead and that he was
murdered at Cookson. MINI, few days
ago.
This exaggeration was due 10 the re-
ceipt OF a communication from an Official
OF that place. who said that a man had
been killed there. on whose person was
found a woonsocket business mans card.
The woonsocket man suggested Fon-
taine as the possible victim. inasmuch
as Fontaine had gone 20 Minnesota TO
gather spruce gum.
Fontaine has sister. a Mrs. Bacon
of Manville. and a Mrs. McDermott OF
Bristol. also a step-father Andrew Le-
Valley. OF Bristol.
The family met. had a season Of weep
ing and arrangements were made with
m undertaken TO have Fontaine's body
shipped east
About this time the following dispatch
was received:

ceived from Cooixson. The body was iden-

BY AMATEURS AT WANSKUCK

Sormance given by the members OF st.

The title OF the production was "A
Noble Outcast." and all Of the parts were
taken with artistic appreciation OF the

Each one appearing on the cast showed
that he and she had studied and gotten
himself or herself into the part and the
result was a very clever bit OF acting
In fact II might be said that II was the
best bit OF acting that has been pro-
duced by amateurs In that section for
some time.
