—5ENT FOR TRIAL T0 HIGHER COURT -7 The Bummerside police court was again busy on Wednesday, morning and afternoon, in‘ the trial. upon two counts, - of John (Nutty) Gallant. The first case agsirist him, which had-been part; heard on the previous day. related to the breaking, entering and stealing from the Pro- hibition. Vendor's Jlquor store on Water Street. It came out. in the vVldBllflfl ‘that the accused was the other manwanted in connection with the theft of a quantity of beer from the Vendor's, under circumstances

accused's companion was sent up for trial to the higher court on Saturday lsst. The second charge against Gal- lant was for robbery with threats.of violence. In this case the evidence given was much the same as that at the trial of the man who was also his companion in this escapade and who was tried inst week and sent up to the higher court. Posing as Pro- hibition Ofllcers two men had accost- ed a young mnn proceedingon Water Street and hadtskenhim by the arm to a. neighboring horse shed where they searched him for liquor. They found none. but compromised with the victim by him handing them over two dollars under s. threat ,0! arrest for creating s. disturbance. Besides the evidence given by the victim,-two other young men swcreithat they had been ‘taken to the same shedthe same night and searched for liquor by these pretended liquor prosecutors, whom they believed to b9 Genuine. The pseudo-prosecutors made out, that they had guns snd advised their victims not to run; also that if they made any resistance they would be hsndcpfled. -The accused was coni- mltted for trial on both counts to the higher court of jurisdiction.

—-F!NE LECTURE ON BURNS —' The eighth lecture in the I. O. D. E. course wss given in the Town Hall, Summerside, on Tuesday night by Rev. W. Bruce Muir, of Charlotte- town, on the subject of “Robbie Burns" snd wss thoroughly enjoyed by a. good sized audience, presided over by Rev. J. C. St. Clair Jeans. The speaker said that Burris was the 1 greatest gift that God hm given toi Scotland and that although he livedl 200 years ago his influence has been extending over the world, until today monuments to his memory are found in the cities of many lands. He was a purifier of Scottish song, for where- ever he found s. beautiful air wed- ded to hnivorthy words, he composed new verses fitting for such a. vehicle. The lecturer quoted Burns’ dying‘ words to his wife: “I'll be better un- derstcod e. hundred years from now," and described how prophetic these words really were. There i.s no mood of the soul to which Burns has not, given an interpretation and has dc- plctcd truly all stations o! life, from Crofter to Laird. His outstanding quality was honesty, and his poems expressing remorse for his moral lsp- sss rank with some of the finest pen- itentlsl writings,- not excepting some of the Psalms of David in that. strain. A very charming part ofRev. Mr. Muir's lecture wss the manner in which be greeted s very well chosen selection of Bums’ most represents-t tivs poems sud never has a Bummer-_- side audience heard the real Scctm tish rendering so eloquently r and faithfully expressedjwlth true drain- stlc tor-cs. A hearty vcic of thanks to the lecturer was moved by Mr. T, D. Ramsay in fitting ind yell chosen words, seconded byMr. J. M.,Nlcliol-~ son, and suppoflnd by Mr. Wulllee
