Routed to Durham Town Instead of Durham County, Telephoning Was Necessary to Straighten Out Tangle. W. A. Wallace, a home boy being sent out by the Barnardo Home in Toronto to a farmer in Durham County, east of Toronto, arrived in town Monday, and it took some fig uring on the part of Mayor Murdock to get the matter straightend out and the boy sent back to Toronto. The little fellow, only eleven years of age, arrived on the noon ENR, and his condition of mind can be imagined when he learned that he was a couple of hundred of miles out of his course, in a strange country, and with no one to look after him Learning of his predicament. Mayor Murdock saw to it that he was given a good dinner, and im mediately got into touch with the Barnardo authorities in Toronto and he departed on the afternoon train for the city to resume his journey to his proper destination the next day. It was a mistake on the part of the person who bought his ticket in Toronto, as it read, “Durham,Ontario, change cars at Palmerston”
