duction in freight rates) has been included with the deficit of the balance of the system.

WOLF FROZEN STIFF DISCOVERED IN TRAP

PIJFERBOIROUGH, 0nt.. Feb. 11 -Tho IOU-pound carcass of a tim- ‘ber wolf stood rigid today in the home of Fred Hull, who lives at the mouth of Jack's Creek, at the head of Stoney Luke. It was grad- ually thawing out.

Hull set a trap for the wolf after finding the half-eaten body of a deer in the woods. When he ap- proached the trap yesterday, arm- ed only with a small trapping hatchet, he saw the wolf. It had one foot in the trap and sat on its lraunches.

Hull had never seen a wolf so composed and silent so he decided to start something. He threw his hatchet at the animal. The weapon rebounded from the cafcass with a clang and Hull found the animal frozen as hard as a. stone.

IPIIIINNEII IRIALREAIIY rnrlunr

(c, P, By Guardian's Special Wire) TORONTO, Feb. 12.—Amid tense drama, last evidence for and against Harry O'Donnell was set down t0- rlay on the records of his trial for the ravine murder of Ruth Taylor- Fihal testimony sharpened the cleavage between defence and pro- secution over one of the trial’s most vital points-the question of wheth- er hairs lrom O‘Dortne11’s clothinS

came from the slain stenographers blue sweater. And last-minute manoeuvreing by both sides em- phasized the importance of the evidence on the 25-year-old prison- er's life.

Without calling O'Donnell. de- fence lawyers attempted an explan- ation of the hairs on his 611M165 through evidence that his wife was wearing a blue woollen bed jacket when he embraced her in a. mater- nity hospital the day before Ruth was ravished and killed in an east end ravine. Less than 10 minutes later, the defences case closed ab- ruptly with the story of the cm- brace, told by 0'Dcnnell's sister Margaret, unshaken in cross-exam- ination.

But the prosecution swiftly chal- lenged it. calling for a recess. Crown Counsel J. C. McRuer, K.C-. reopened his case and produced Mrs. Bessie Back, operator of the private hospital, who swore Mrs. Of- Donnell was not wearing a 111611911 last Nov. 3, the day before the mur- der and the day after the birth of the young couple's first boy. Nor had Mrs. O'Donnell worn a sweater in hospital any time up to her 1111-1- band’s arrest two days after i118 killing, she testified.

And to her evidence was added that of Prof. Joslyn Rogers. provin- cial analyst, who declared his scien- tific findings showed conclusively that the hairs on O'Donne1ls clothes could not have come from the jacket. Earlier in the trial. I116 analyst had sworn that hairs from 0'Donnell's clothes were indistin- guishable from those 0n the sweater worn by the 20-year-old stenc- grapher the night her skull was crushed in.

Grantees Are Eliminated By N a t 0 n a I s

The second game between Borden Nationals and Kensington Granites -in the McLean League series-was played in Kensington Rink on Monday night, Feb- 10th. The game was a decisive victory for Borden. The score was 5-1, giving .';e round of home and home games to Borden by a score of 9-2.

The game was real fast-the fast- 3515 We!‘ Pmyfid 1h the ririk~and was replete with thrills and spills .from the first whistle. The Ken- singtoh boys strove mightily, but the collective speed of the Borden aggregation was too much for them. In this contest, it was a. case of “the race belonging to the swift." On occasions when a. hiatus in play oc- curred and a Borden man grabbed the puck, the whole team flew like a. covey of Hungarian partridges— converging on their opponents’ goal with nerve-racking effect on Ken- sington players and hopeful fans.
