While motoring to his father’s cottage on Consecon Lake last week Charles Cory, son of F. A. Cory of the Belleville Milling Company was attacked by three masked men near the Carrying Place woods. Three shots were fired at his car but he escaped unharmed.

Cory stated that he noticed a Nash sedan standing still on the road which passes through a wood, but the motor was running and dimmers on. “A man dressed in a grey suit with a cap pulled down over his eyes, who appeared to be of middle age walked out and put up his hand to stop. Just then two other men who were lying in the ditch jumped up and when they saw that I did not intend to stop one of the two men who were at the rear of the car fired two bullets from a revolver. One shot past through the curtains of the car, over my shoulder and out through the windshield, the other struck the rear axle and the third shot missed.

“I did not lose much time in getting away,” stated Charles Cory. He said he had been in the habit of going home that way each evening, “but,” he added, “I changed my route last night and now I go home by Roblin’s Mills.”

The wheat and oats in sheaf, the corn in tassel, and the buckwheat in bloom all speak of the passing of summer and the time of harvest. But as if regardless of summer’s passing, the camper and the tourist continue to enjoy uninterrupted holidays on the shores of Consecon Lake.

Mr. W. A. Davern’s cedar clothed shore is attracting companies of tourists from the U.S.A.

Mr. J. R. French’s park at the head of Consecon Lake is also the scene of much pleasurable activity—a party of Boy Scouts from Belleville, with Rev. Dr. Malott and Mr. Fred Brason as camp directors, enjoying to the full a fortnight of camp life in this delightful spot. With boating, fishing, swimming and evenings about the camp fire the time is pleasantly occupied.
