The man had been waving his arms and acting very strangely, Witness was called up from Central by phone that night, and asked if he sew a strange man passing. Witness told them that he had seen a man go- ing east in the forenoon. She, the telephone operator. said that he had turned back. witness told her that he had not passed by his place be- fore dark. Central told him that the man had escaped ‘from Falconwood and that there were parties looking for him then. They came up that night and searched the neighborhood.

IIAI) VISIT FROM DECEASED

Section f

(By Tee.) Abegweita, l; Crystals, i

Nursing a two goal lead behind a sweet defensive game, Abegweits opened the second section of the P. E. Island Hockey League at . the Forum last night by a. well-earned and creditable victory over Crystals by e score of 4 to 2.

The Crystals‘ two goals were regis- tered in the first and second periods, the first coming on a bouncing puck, which was flopped from the blue line by Jack Schurman. 'I‘helr second and final counter was realized when Nicholson was "doing time," "Chick" Gallant scoring on a four man at- tack.

Consistent hockey coupled with splendid back-checking and great work on the defence, was the big feature in the popular verdict which went to the locals.

"Chick" Williams’ return to the game was another feature of the set- to. The opening score of the night." was made on one ol‘ ills lightning- like passes, which was afterwards rifled from the blade of Johnny Squavebriggs. It was one of the prettiest plays of the game which brought dynamic cheering from the llugc throng that packed the Forum. Splllett and rangy Bill Power were on in every some of the word last night. ilr: latter bodylrlg like rt vet- t‘i'lli’l— and legally at. that, while the former seems to be yust hitting his stride.

Opened last with Abegwelts taking the offensive, but poor" judgment in passing lost lhcm many golden op~ porluniiies. Saunders finally broke away to go in on mp with Squarebriggs who in some manner got mixed up with the disc and lost another chance. After twelve minutes of play D. Gillis broke the lie score on a high back hand shot on a. pass from Walter Lawlor, the dlsc hitting tho net high, wide and handsome.

After-this score Crystals perked up

to Gauthier. and was followed short- ly by Grady, for slashing.

tioned "entertainment" which did not appear on the program, was staged, with the hot-tempered fans furnish» lug most oi’ the amusement. Those who remained in their seats enjoyed the fun immensely. Crystals left the ice and appeared about tcrl minutes later to resume the game. The two chief offenders, Grady and Nicholson, received three and five minutes respectively. , At the faceol! Saunders took a pass from Squarebrlggs to go through but was hauled clown by Grady, who was again banished. this time for tripping. One minute later Saunders coasted in on a pass from Bill Pow- er to try Lefurgey who loses the re- bound to Saunders who followed up tile shot. and smoked it into the nct.
