Alex Murray of that community last
Saturday evening after he struck
Murray for a remark Murray made
criticising those wka would not con

According to reports of the affair
received In Ontario young Upton was
nmong s group of men smong whom
young Mnrray was soliciting funds
for the Ked Cross, and during the
course of which Mr. Murray severely
stigmatised anyone who would not
aid the cause. No names were men

head. Thst was all that was need

at his assailant with a vim that soon
demonstrated his willingness and
ability to bark his words. After Up
