Down in North Haven this morning the U s. club of Wallingford was de- feated by the Independents of North Haven by score of Il to 0. The To- cal boys were outweighed about twen- ty-ffve pounds to man and could make no gains through the line. The forward pass was worked several times to advantage by Wallingford, but their men lacked speed and were unable to score. The work of the ref cree was bad and several times ques- tionable decisions were rendered. The first touchdown was made by Dicker- man after twelve minutes of play The goal was missed. After the next kick-off MacMillan made a corlling end run which without a doubt would have been a touchdown for Walling- ford if the crowd hadn't closed in and blocked the runner. He was downed on the five yard line
 | In the second half Wallingford took brace and entered the contest with do or die spirit. The plays were well made and no scoring was done until the last three minutes of play, when Boghie got the ball on tumble and smashed through for the second touchdown. The goal was kicked. MacMillan and Robinson were knock ed out in the last part of this half and
 Lane and Malmquist were put in their places. MacMillan sustained sprain- ed ankle which will lay him up for
 some time.

Orchards Career
As Superintendent
OF Sunday School

WOOLER. Ontario, June S-The
crimes of arson. theft from creditors,
desertion of three women, two of whom
he had married. and the deaths of his
Quaker parents # broken hearts. are the
new offenses charged to Alfred Horsley,
alias Harry Orchard, by his neighbOrs
in this town, mis- birthplace.
Horsley was brought up in the Quaker
faith, but when nearing manhood shift
ed to the Methodist, having been con-
verted at a camp meeting held near the
town. He attended Sunday services and
weekday prayer meetings. Finally he
was selected superintendent Of the
Methodist Sunday school, which posi-
ton he retained until 1885, when he left
this section
However. in the spring of 1855, Horsley
found himself involved in financial diff
ficulties. with the probability Of embar-
rassment on account of his intimacy
with one of the women Of his congrega-
ton. No one knew il until his cheese
factory burned. When he attempted TO
collect the insurance the scandal arose.
Horsley fed the town and country. He
took with him $500 in cash which he
had realized from the hurried sale. and
another mans wife, whose name is re-
called as Hattie Simpson.
