.CI-IE'I‘ICAIIP, N. S. Oct. 80- Storiss cf iii-jacking. murder on "10 111811 seas and kidnapping by modern buccaneers were discounted by Inspector John McIntosh of the Nova Scctia police, who has been , here for several days trying to ‘ lrobe the mystery surrounding the "derelict schooner Catalogue which was found oi‘! the coast with two dead bodies in her hold.

He said he believed the ship had been disabled in a storm after leav- ing Burnt Island, Newfoundland, on October first, and picking up a cargo of liquor from another schcon er alt sea. He thought the men whose bodies were in the hold.

_John Spencer and James Carroll, of Burgeo, Newfoundland, had drowned as the ship ﬂlled with wat- er, and that the other two mem- bers of the crew, Captain “Paddy" Kirk and Russel Partridge, of Hali- fax, had been swept overboard.

(Canadian Press)

CHICAGO, Illa, Nov. 1-—Wheat futures were carried to new high levels for the season yesterday on fresh bursts of buying largely in- ﬂuenced by Russia's difficulties in fulfilling its export grain con- tracts. For the first time in months all wheat contracts finish- ed the day above 60 cents a bushel. From the start of the short ses- sion, “bulls" were in control and the gains continued sporadically de- spite extensive profit taking. The largest gain for the day was nlade by December wheat future which,

Badly Injured When Makes/rift Bomb Explodes

Heath Carmody, 15-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Weston Carmody, 296 Fitzroy street, is in the P. E. I. Hospital as the result of painful and serious injuries received Friday evening.

It seems some boys had prepared 'a quantity of makeshift bombs for Halloween and the lad was ex- perimenting with one the evening before. The "bombs" consisted of empty rifle shells filled with cordite and other high explosives into which a fuse was inserted and the end of the shell squeezed down. The boy lighted one and threw it from him, and upon its falling to explode, he advanced and picked it up. The shell exploded tearing the first and second fingers and thumb from his right hand and badly injuring his face. He was taken to the Hospital where x-ray photographs revealed pieces of metal imbedded in his hand and face. The cup of the shell was removed from the palm of his hand, where it was deeply imbed- ded. The injured lad was resting comfortably last night.
