Ramsy Gerr©w came to town last
Saturday and got so tight that he
didn't know beans, and then got into
a quarrel with Bill roach, the ex-
prison bird, who has been hanging
around Clare since his term expired
in March last. Roach took Gerrow
off up fche railroad track and pommeled his face all out of shape.—
Gerrow was in a pitiable condition
when Roach left him, and has required a doctor's attention ever since.
Roach has left the country, fearing
arrest.
E. Perry late of Vernon township
called at The Pbess office Monday
and took exceptions to the item published in the Vernon news last week.
Mr Perry characterizes as false every
insinuation contained in the item referred to, saying thatMs unsteadiness
is due to a shattered neryous system
which Mas troubled hifit ever since he
was a small boy. "Whisky, he says,
has nothing to do .With it; in fact
he is but aft occasional drinker, of-
tentimes- goings; weeks at a time

he is being subjected now will not
last forever.
