The village was thrown into a state of great excitement Wednesday morning at the surprising intelligence that William Palmer, of the Bay, had been shot dead near Bernard Baker's Vace that morning. For some time pastr. Baker has been bothered with thieves taking away bis geese at nights. So confidently did he expect these visitors that when the geese made rather more noise than usual on l Wednesday morning, about 2;30 a.m., he arose, dressed himself and event out, tak- ing with him a single barrelled shot gun. Keeping along the fence, he went in the direction of the barn. When opposite the hen house door he noticed a dim light shining through the window as though pro.iuceJ by a match. Shortly the light vanished and the door opened, and as the night was exceedingly dark, Mr. Baker shot the gun in the direction of the door. Mr. Baker says: "The Fran was no soon- er shot at than be ran in my direction, ex - claming, 'I'll have you now.' Not know. ing what arms the intruder possessed, I shifted my position somewhat along the fence, and he passed out of the gate and tip the lane towards the road. I had no idea whether the shot had struck the man or not, as he made no complaint." After leaving Baker, and while passing thelittle side gate, Barry Lingford, Baker's hired man, challenged the fleeting figure. Get- ting no answer he tired his revolver,which discharged a shot cartridge, and soon after repeated the shot. By this time both men were on the road. Lingford states that "after I had fired the second shot cartridge the man turned and made for me with his hand extended, as though taking aim at me and he remarked, ' I have you now.' Thinking it was simply a matter of speed, I fired again, this time with a bullet cartridge. The man ex- claimed, 'you've done me' and fell to the ground." Baker and Lingford cautiously went nearer and discovered that the man was dead. County Constable Decker and Coroner Bateman were called, when it was found that the body was that of Wil• liam Palmer, whose greattat fault was his appetite for liquor. The Coroner issued a warrant for au inquest, and linker and Lingford were plared under air, 4. % jury of sixteen —Epwarth Leegne i1, Subject --"Columbus the of tbe,World's Far," lwl --s4mons- in the Alf next Sunday.

County Constable Decker and Coroner Bateman were called, when it was found that the body was that of Wil• liam Palmer, whose greatest fault was his appetite for I quor. The Coroner issued a warrant for an inquest, and Laker and Lingford were placed under arrest. A jury of sixteen intelligent men were empanelled with Isaac Linton as foreluan. Dr. Eastwood, who conducted a post mortem, states that death resulted from a bullet wound in the breast, the rnissle having taken a clown- j ward course, unsling through the heart. The lover Dart of the bogy and thighs were covele,l with shot wounds, Showing that Eaker's mini had been true. The shot wounds were not sufficient to cause death. After hearing a number of witnesses at Mr. Baker's house,the coroner adjourned to the Fire Ilan, where a unniber of citi- zens were exit niued as to the report given of the affair be the two prisoners. At a late hour the Coroner adjourned the in. (guest till Jlouday evening at 7:30 when proeeeding.z% will be concluded. The reuiaius of the deceased were in- terred at the Disciple burying ground Wednesday night. The prisoners were liberated on bail. Mach sympathy is felt for all concern- ed in the tragic affair. The Palmer family are among the most respectable in the township, while the prisoners are both men of integrity, and of high moral char. acter. --Nothing definite is stated with regard to municipal matters a3 yet. It is report• ed. however, that as Reeve Parker is re- tiring It. R. Mowbray will stand for that position, while the rest of the members will step up. The names of Harry West- gate and S. Mackey are spoken of as can- didates far the first position, while Thos. Poacher, S. Bray, R. Deverell, E.Wilson, Geo. Philip an3 others are being prevail• ed upon to accept nomination, but we know not the respective positions. 'As the position of councillor will be occupied by a beginner for 1893, it is altogether likely there will be several candidates for that position. —The Harvest Home festival on the evening of Thanksgiving day in the Meth- odist church passed off very pleasantly.
