END OF A HOME
John Box, an irate . Canadian-Scot, has deliberately destroyed the centuryold home of the Laird o' McNab, the Scottish chieftain who took eighty-five clansmen to Canada in 1825 and settled them on an 80,000-acre tract at Arnperier given them by the Government of Upper Canada. John Box, who is the McNab descendant at present residing on tho land, explains that he and his mother had been "pestered to death by people asking questions about the building, and by picnic parties who visited the grounds, trampled potatoes and crops, and often lit and left fires." So John knocked away the foundations of the building and let it collapse into a heap of debris.
