Gently returned from a trip via auto
to Winnipeg and expected to start
yesterday for Boston on the Atlantic
s~eaboard. The Testers are becoming
globe trotters with a record hard to
beat. They left home in Texas the
utddie Of May and skirting along
through the Pacific states emexged
over the Rockies into Yellowstone
Park and then on to Waterfowl. They
now trundle down east to the city of
baked beans and in about six weeks
or so will again arrive at home where
the greaser and gringo controversy
is always warm. C. H. was a former
farmer of this county operating a large
acreage in Havana and was always in
terested in politics to a considerable
extent. For some years he resided
in Waterfowl but now has doubtless
reached the limit as he claims e. Paso

Engineers from Watertown have
made a survey for a ditch to drain a
mile OF the Hazel'Thomas highway.
When the specification are completed
bids will be advertised for and the
contract awarded in time to have the
work done this year. 1t is thought by
draining this mile one of the worst
pieces in Brantford and Oxford town
ships would be made passable. O.
NJ. Lane, ey-city auditor of Watertown
his term Of office, was arraigned be-
fore Judge Sherwood Tuesday and
plead guilty to the charge. He drew
four years in the state p~enitentiary
and was taken to that institution
| Wednesday. Lane is q WatertoWn
product and is said to be one of the
best accountants in the city and this
lis given out as a cause for the ease
with which he annexed the public
funds without being detected until a
public examiner went through the
books. However, the ex-auditor was
| known as a thigh roller and without
revenue other than his salary as aud
itor. AS n can't roll very high in
WATERFOWL on such a meager sum it
is deemed passing strange that Lane
could get away with this large am
cunt without arousing some suspicion
