CONVICT AT DAIMENY Of SHOOTING "Leaks in examination papers have never occurred at the University of Saskatchewan, as far as I know," A. R. Weir, registrar commented on the story of papers sold to students for $10 each at the University of Manitoba.

At the university here all the papers are mimeographed by the university staff and never leave the office until the examination hour. The only time trouble occurred was when the safe in which the papers were stored refused to answer to the combination and studonts had to wait to spill their stores of accumulated knowledge until a lock expert had been secured from the city, Magistrate Fines. Son For Breach Of Bylaw Police Magistrate F. M. Brown today imposed a fine of $2 and costs of $2.50 on his son, Marshall Brown, University Drive, who pleaded guilty to turning his automobile on First Avenue at a point other than a street intersection.

The son did not appear in court. He paid his fine beforehand, as most traffic bylaw offenders do, but the magistrate signed the conviction ordering the fine or five days in jail. The offense was committed at 8.50 o'clock on the evening of April 21, between Twentieth and Twenty-first Streets on First Avenue, south. Other offenders under the bylaw, Levi It. Jackson, 520 Avenue north, and William Dowler, 703 Fourth Avenue, north, paid similar fines, while Mike Dumka, 1503 Broadway Avenue, was assessed costs of the court.

KIDOI.F MARCHER TESTIFIES William J. Carter, alias "the bearded fiddler," is making his fourth personal appearance in Saskatoon in the course of crosscountry vagabond tours which have made his concerts known from Peace River to the Flin Flon. Carter is no ordinary violinist. He cannot be heard in concert auditoriums and churches but he does take in the odd 30 cents in pool rooms, restaurants and on street corners.

In this way, the 56-year-old vagabond makes his living and keeps on the move. With him goes his most prized possession, a 261-year-old violin, made by Jacob Stainer in Cremona. He boasts another accomplishment, too, being an artist on the tin whistle. Carter is on his way to Winnipeg now, by easy stages, and expects to reach there by the end of June. Meanwhile, he doubtless will be heard in many places in the city.

ADMITTED WRONG The story, a tale of domestic un-happiness which resulted in the alleged shooting of Maeurer by his employer, was to the effect that Maeurer, a young man of German birth, a resident in the district for over three years, had been employed at different times by Fiedler and lived at the Fiedler home with his employer, his wife and young are Saskatoon residents.

SEVERAL SEARCHES Thiessen had been the object of several searches in the Dalmeny dis BORROWED GUN According to the evidence given at the inquest, the deceased had been out of the Lintlaw district during the winter months but returned on Tuesday, April 5, to resume farming operations. That evening Hnatruak visited the Shewchuk shack and Instead of finding anyone home, discovered note from Shewchuk in which he stated that he was spending the evening at the home of John Bere-zuk. On Saturday afternoon, April 9, Shewchuk visited the home of his neighbors, Wasyl and John Chor-ney, and asked if he could borrow their gun and one shell as he desired to kill a deer. The following day, Steve Hnatruak again visited the Shewchuk home, and receiving no reply to his knocks, opened the door and entered the small living quarters Sitting on the floor, on a small pile of wheat and pool of blood, was his friend, his forehead badly injured, his face covered with blood, and his clothes saturated.

It is further urged that the test be carried out under standard conditions. The question of renewing the contracts with the owners of the buses will be considered by council at a special meeting to be held Thursday night. The buses are being rented on a mileage basis, the had made the boast to relatives Over Ground at North Battleford Today that "no Mountie would ever son. Toward the end of January of this year, Fiedler went to Saskatoon, leaving hiB family and Maeurer at the farm.

Subsequently Mrs. Fiedler received a letter, and she too went to Saskatoon. On February 11 Fiedler returned and walked out from Prince Albert to the farm. Maeurer, who was the first witness called this morning, gave evidence that he was cutting wood in the yard when Fiedler returned, looking angry and excited. The accused asked Maeurer to come Into the house and talk and when there, he told that when he was in Saskatoon he had had a "second sight" and saw his wife having illicit relations with him (Maeurer).

He asked if that were true and Maeurer had confessed it was. Then Fiedler stated that two of them was one too many and had catch him." which to carry on. OBJECTS TO ATTITUDE "I want to say right here that I am prepared to stand up for the rights of the returned men," said Alderman Charles Nash, with emphasis. "But when I find a returned man who is trying to put something over on us, 1 won't stand for it." Alderman Nash, by questioning Mr. Andres, brought out the information that the latter had been sent to a farm job by the Canadian Legion, but because the salary was only $10 per month and board, he had refused to take it.

This was admitted by Mr. Andres. "If such is the case I don't see why he is here," declared Alderman R. M. Pinder, who took strong put over propaganda.

He suggested that council ask the parks board to allow the men to go to work. Alderman A. M. Eddy, Labor rep. resentative, said while council appointed the parks board, the aldermen had no control over its actions.

Accordingly he moved that the request for reinstatement be presented direct to the parks board. The motion was passed. The two men in question are G. H. King and H.

C. Palmer, said to hold the positions of president and secretary respectively of the local branch of the Communistic organization. The belief that Communism was the best, system with which to govern a nation was a purely political belief, Mr. Dealtry emphasized. There were, no doubt, a lot of Liberals, he said, who believed all Conservatives should be in jail, and vice versa, but that did not alter the facts of the situation.

Alderman F. A. Blain asked whether the men had "kept their mouths shut while on the job." In the discussion that followed, this question was not answered. Pending his recovery he is kept at the city hospital under armed guard, and is expected to be able to travel by the time application is made for his extradition. His case will be handled through the agreements being renewed from By a Staff Correspondent NORTH BATTLEFORD, April 26.
