(Canadian Press Despatch.)
Winnipeg, March 28. - William Gorda, Stony Mountain Penitentiary prisoner, today was found guilty by a jury in Assize Court of occasioning grievous bodily harm to Thomas Clayton, chief guard, last April. He was remanded for sentence by Mr. Justice A. K. Dysart. Gorda, evidence showed, attacked Clayton with a stone hammer and partially blinded him. Another convict, Thomas Jones, attacked Alfred Fisher, another guard, at the same time. During the disturbance that followed, Jones and Gorda were wounded, and Mike Behun, a convict who had no part in the trouble, was killed by shots fired by guards on the walls of the institution.

Sometimes I wish we would start calling out the performative radicalism on this site for the poser bullshit it is. "Remember, it's always morally correct to kill a cop!" "Don't forget to firebomb your local government office!" "Wow, it sure would be a shame if these instructions on how to make a molotov cocktail got spread around!"
Okay. But you're not killing cops or firebombing government offices. You are posting on a dying microblogging website to a carefully-curated echo chamber that has radicalized itself into thinking that taking the absolute most extreme position on any subject is praxis but that anyone discussing the most practical way to effect actual change is your sworn enemy. You do not have the street cred OR the activist cred to be talking about killing cops, babe.

chungledown bim is so much more viscerally terrifying to me than any other d20 villain or entity like theyve faced threats that are actively tearing reality apart at the seams but one level 20 gnome warlock singlemindedly dedicated to (and optimized for) shitting in a 17 year olds mouth is so much higher stakes to me than anything else i could imagine. if every other character we love has to die in order for fabian to evade him then i think that price is worth paying

Toronto Convict Killed in an Alleged Altercation in Farm Prison
---
Sudbury, May 31 - Leo Trilsbeck, 33, Toronto, convict at Burwash Industrial Farm, died early yesterday from wounds received in an alleged altercation with Joseph David Belanger, 20, Ottawa. Belanger is being held in close confinement. According to prison authorities, the two men battled late Monday night, and Trilabeck was stabbed by the Ottawa man.
Under close guard at Burwash Industrial Farm, Belanger awaits an inquest to determine responsibility for the death of L. Trilsbeck. Prisoners who witnessed the alleged stabbing, are being detained separately. Inspector A. H. Palmer, of the Ontario Provincial police, accompanied by two constables, arrived at the farm to make an investigation and to arrange for the inquest.
Superintendent N. Oliver declared Trilsbeck had been assigned to duty as a garage mechanic and was working overtime. Following the general custom, he went to the kitchen late to get a sandwich before retiring. As Belanger, employed in the kitchen, was serving him, an argument arose over a sandwich. "Belanger had a butcher knife in his hand and, evidently, on the spur of the moment, struck Trilsbeck with it," the superintendent said.
Belanger's Record
Ottawa, May 31. - Ottawa police records show that Joseph David Belanger, prisoner No. 5212, was sentenced to 18 months in the South Carolina penitentiary on October 16, 1928, when convicted of robbery and larceny in Dorchester County, under the alias of Isadore Belanger.
He was arrested in Ottawa on a charge of theft of a suit case and underwear valued at $250, and was sentenced to six months definite and one year indefinite in the Ontario Reformatory, Burwash Industrial Farm, on July 13, 1932. He is still serving his sentence there.
When arrested in Ottawa he gave his address as 450 Dundas street.
