Kuhn, former postmaster at West .Seattle, who is confined in the county jail, on a six months' sentence for embezzlement of postal funds, "learned yesterday that his little babe, a hoy 9 months of age, had. died. The father was sorely grieved at being compelled to spend the day behind the bars, instead of at the bier of ���������his offspring. ' ������ . ' Kuhn, prior to his arrest, was postmaster and also conducted a gen oral store. The postal inspectors found that lie was ?1,900 short" in his accounts, but he claimed that this was due to mixing hi* .personal and government accounts. .After his arrest restitution -was made to the government, and when the case was called Kuhn plda-dcd -guilty-to a tecl^ nical violation of the law and was sentenced by Judge Han-ford to serve six months in the county jail. Three and one-half months of this sentence have been served and it is understood that a movement has been started to secure a pardon. When asked if he would roq^icst per' mission from the authorities to attend the. funeral of his babe, Kuhn answered he probably would not. Since'his incarceration he has boen, a model prisoner and has been a trusty almost from the start. His ���������wife and another child still reside in West Seattle. tcLSon and Kake that materialized in the uiiicjfiic discovery.

The rate from New Westminster and other coast towns to Nelson, Cranforbok, Ross- land and the Kootenay 'district - is g 1 eater than fro,m Winnipeg. < The difference in the freight rate from Winnipeg by way of tlie Crow's "Nest Pass, is irom 25 to 33 cents per hundred .weight less than from the coast tni these British-Columbia points.- Thc result.'is that the coast is prohibited from trading with these places. On staple articles,the extra freight charges would eat r up all the piofits. This is the thing wc want remedied. This is ' what we sent Mi. Joseph Martin' to Ottawa to ask the commission. If we do not get thc reduction on treight as far as Calgary we should at least get it to points in our own province. We claim that the discrimination is unfair and we will insist on an answer in this point."

The man seemed anxious lo have it understood that the shots were fned inside the' house, and his version is that he stood 111st inside thc doorway ^and> hied nist as Mrs. Pivpo was rising with a cry ,noti to shoot as 'he pulled the gun from _Mic inside1 of his coat. l ' ���������v Deputy. Matt Slarwich-related the story as f.11 as he could get it fiom the prisoner. He says the trouble arose over the breaking of a window at the house. Matenche became involved"in a dispute with his twTo comrades.^ Aftoi leaving the house they lctuined and the prisoner entered the" dooLWay with the gun in his hand." The woman, who was a cripple, started to aiise from her chair wUh^a- cry, when two shots were fired, one of them enteiing her aliilomen. - After the act was committed, Matenche diopped the weapon and ran out into the darkness, but was soon taken into custody by the deputy. No charge has yet Wen placed against the man," and the information has not yet been officially placed in the hands of the piosccutinpo attorney's oflice * New Westminster, Aug. 22.���������Appar-, Matt, a Finlander, was in trouble entiy there^ will be no change regard- lust evening, and came before Justices of the Peace Matlicson and Nicholson for a hearing, The complainant was one Victor Thompson, who claimed that the accused had, 011 Sunday night last, attacked jhim wilh a knife. During the progress of the hearing, it was shown that the prisoner had bfecn in a figjht with the complainant in the New Western1 ibwir about seven o'clock Sundaytevcn ing. After this discussion had been settled considerably to the disadvantage of the complainant, who appeal; ed in couit with two black eyes as a result, the la Iter claimed that ho was again attacked by Matt, at 12 o'clock that night on the back steps of a hoarding 0 house, and it was here that he claimed a knife was used. Thompson failed to prove his case, however, and Matt was dismissed. Mr.' Russell Simpson appealed for the accused, ing tlie close season for sockeyes jlKitween August 25 and September 15th. Inspector Swoid to-day today slated that as far as he was aware there would be no change, and that unless he hears from Ottawa in the meantime there will he 110 nets smaller than a seven inch mesh used between Saturday morning, Aug. 25 and Sunday evening, Sept. 111. , Some time ago the announcement was made by Mr. Burdis, secretary of Fraser River canners association, that the Dominion government had use of the traps through the close season. These facts aic taken by Fraser fishermen to he an unjust discrimination. They claim that if the trap eyes and cohoes, that the net fishers should have the same privilege, that theie should either bie a close-season or an open season for all. The fact that the tiaps are allowed to keep in opciation it is claimed, 'will lessen the -catches in the river after the season is again opened. It is also alleged that 'the traps keeping in opeiation all season will kill off the cohoes 111 a couple of years. Theie wclc only small catches of sockeyes last night and some fishermen who got "skunked" on the first drift gave up in disgust. The high boat on the New Westminster drift was 30 Up Hie liver theboat was 50. ' . - Theie are quite a'number now using the seven inch mesh, which will not, catch sockeyes, but will get'the spxing salmon. There have been some fail catches of springs.

While the officer was in another place the carriage ^topped in front oi the-station. When thaj officer wturn- ed he noticed the president's rig standing there and waited for it to move along. When it did not move and no one alighted the officer supposed that the president had gone into the station. "You know as well as I do that you caTmot stand there," said tho officer to thc president's coachman. "Do you know whose carriage this is?" was the only answer oi the man on the box.

"Dr. Burns," he shouted, "if we are ever going to get anywhere with this case you must speak up so the court will hear you. You can't ey- pect the jury to understand signs. Speak loud and strong, sir." The small-sized veterinary tried, but it was evidently no use. Whether from embarrassment or inability the sound would not come.

Ln her excitement she was unable to pull t'hc blanket off the line, ahd she at once returned to the kitchin, where her little daughter extinguish^ ed Ihe fire by throwing buckets ol water on the blazing clothing.

The principal speeches of the evening were by Ralph Smith; speaking to Dominion and Provincial lejf islatmes; Mayor Planta, City and Corporation aJiil Sister Societies by Mr. Wallis, of Vancouver. Many of our; local people and visiting friends took part in the exercises of the evening- by speaking, reciting ,or singing. As the banquet broke up. at so ' late an hour it is impossible for tho Herald to do justice to the speeches or anything like it. They were far above those usually made at a gathering of the kind. Mr. H. Smith spoke of the pleasure he experienced in meeting wilh an assemblage oi foresters. lie himself, is .an Ancient Forester, a (member in England many years ago. Of the benefits of good societies there was mo question and the Foresters were second to none. Of Canada and her laws he was proud and glad to be enrolled as a loyal Canadian subject, anld no country in the world could eq,ual Canada in her laws and customs. Tt was good to be a Can edian, subject. Mr. Smith spoke pleasantly and entcrtninly for fifteen or twenty minutes.,. Mayor.

Representatives of "The Herald and Free Press spoke of the pleasures of the Foresters' visit, and a paper on cpusi- tions as, they will exist in 1916 was A very pleasant feature of the"- occasion was the attendance of a?u'ozen<or more ladies,-who enjoyed the evening-with their husbands or friends. Many compliments were|paicl them by the speakers, and it is safe to say that on future occasions tho ladies will attend' banquets given by tlie Foresters. After nicely remembering the" dining' room girls" by a gift and vote of thanks, and a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. McKinnell tho banquet came to a .close, and thereby ended as pleasant an evening as has been spent in Nanaimo for many a year.

Description | The Ladysmith Daily Ledger was published in Ladysmith, in the Cowichan Valley region of Vancouver Island, and ran from July 1903 to December 1906. Ladysmith developed as a residential area for the employees of a large coal mine, and, in 1904, it had a population of approximately 4000.
