TICKET BOUGHT AT LAST MINUTE WINS AUTOMOBILE 4 (Continued from page 1) sveryone might have a chance to see everything that was going on. Draws The Winner Eager faces were turned towards the grandstand as Judge Thomp- son reached well into the mass of ticket-stubs to. choose the lucky winner, and more than one heart gave a heave as the judge put on his glasses so that he might not make a mistake, , "13837" read the judge and throughout the crowd scuffling and murmuring was taking place as al- most everyone gave their ticket au- other glance to see if it couldns be theirs or if they had made a mis- take, 5 3 But no winner appeared, al- though the number was written in bold letters upon a sheet of card- board and held high aloft, Then the judge reached into the churn and drew two other numbers, which were also placarded and held up for everyone to see. But no winner came for either of those. inner Appears Presently a commotion right at the base of the stand aroused con- siderable comment and before any- once could say 'Jack Robinson" the new owner of the car appeared. in the person of Mr, Drayton. It was learned that he had pur~ chased his lucky number ticket at ten o'clock last night under pres sure, of course, by pretty little salesladies. When the winner became known, Gordon Conant made him formally acquainted with his new car and before the many spectators made the presentation. Mrs. Drayton who was right at the side of her husband expressed real surprise when she was told her husband pos- sessed the lucky ticket, During the drawing the Clown Band of the Ontario Regiment went through some peculiar moves in order to present some high class opera music but succeeded very well until forced to quit owing to the interference of some hick po- lice chief, who went about wear- ing a badge as big as a china plate The Regimental Band, arrayed in their bright uniforms and flashy helmets, occupied the plat- 'form during fhe evening and kept the air lively with the latest num- bers. When the drawing was complet ed, and the winning numbers se- lected, the crowd began to disperse, some with long faces, some sug- gesting that there must have been some mistake and some saying that other people have all the luck. But the band clinched the evening by playing 'God Save the King." Night settled down upon the Four Corners closing another successful Rotary Falr, COBOURG DOCTOR IS COMMITTED ON ~ SERIOUS CHARGE DR. G. H. FIELD CAME " BEFORE THE MAGIS- TRATE Assault and Wounding and Discharge of Firearms Alleged Cobourg, Ont., June 20--Dr, George H. Field, Cobourg M.O.H,, arraigned on four charges following the wound- ing of Alice Earle, 18-year-old girl, by a Bullet alleged to have been fired by Dr. Field on Friday night last, ap- peared before Magistrate Floyd yes- tetday on charges of assault and wounding. The doctor was committed for trial. The charge of pointing a firearm was amended to one of un- lawful discharge of a firearm in a public place. The remaining charge was that of i gE a isturb 3 The latter two charges were left over until the indictable offence was dis- posed of at the next session of the court in November and tlhe accused allowed out on bail of $5,000. A fur- ther bond of $1,000 was demanded whereby he is required to keep the peace and also furbidden to see his wife at any time prior to his next appearance in court in November, J. K. MacKay of Toronto prosecuted and J. B, McColl appeared for the defendant. : Testifying in the wounding charge, Alice Earle, alleged victim of the shooting, who had to be assisted into the witness box, described the cire cumstances of the scene in which she was struck in the hip by a bullet, Ac- companied by girl friends, she had rounded the corner of McGill and King streets, where the residence of the accused was situated, when she observed a group gathered around the side entrance of the house. Hear- ing the report of a revolver, the girls started to run, stated the witness, when Dr. Field approached and fired from a revolver, A stinging sensation in her hip was the first intimation that she had been struck by a bullet. Following that she was removed to a doctor and subsequently to her home. Questioneq by the crown, she stated that she still. suffered from the wound. Her testimony was corrobor- ated by other witnesses. Dr. Jamie- son, who attended her, described the injury, said to have been inflicted by the bullet, as a contusion, that drew a small spot of blood to the surface layers of the skin to Have Hit Wife Called to give evidence in the assault charge, George Coole and Joseph Fox testified that they saw the accusad strike his wife with his hand. Dr. Lloyd, who attended Mrs. Field following the alleged assault, described the location of a large num- ber of bruises on her body. Chief of Police J. Rusé, told of being sum- moned to the scene of the trouble and "THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 20; 1929: = -orosmmr scene Hot Weather Brings Rush To Cool Waters of disarming Dr. Field. On that oc- casion, Dr. Field had said, "You know I wouldn't shoot her chief, I was just trying to scare her." Dr. Field was arrested by Constable Noble at 5 p.m, Tuesday. The affair is said to have started in a family altercation on Friday evening be- tween Dr. Field and his wife. The doctor is said to have struck his wife a 'number of times when both were outside the house and then after re- entering the house emerged with a revolver, which he fired into the street, and according to evidence given at the preliminary hearing, di- rected the shots towards the pave- ment, Alice Earle, who was passing at the time, is said to have been struck by one of these bullets which ricochetted from the pavement. The parents of the girl have not stated whether or not they will file suit for damages. MRS. KOBERNICK DROWNS AT WHITBY (Continued from page 1) and lowered them into twenty feet of water where the body was found. Placed Under Arrest It was thought that the woman's body would be discovered near the barge to which Buno had clung and his was found to be the case. Buno, after receiving the custom- ary warning from the police, stated that the woman fell out of the boat, and that he tried to save her. He was placed under arrest as a material witness and will appear at the inquest which opened this morning, and was adjourned. Were Alone in Punt According to information given to thé police, Buno had taken a punt belonging to John Watson, Port Whitby, without permission, and had gone boating in company with Mrs. Kobernick, Mrs, Fialka, of Oshawa, and Mrs. Fialka's two children, After remaining on the water for several minutes, Mrs. Fi- alka and her children were return- ed to shore. Buno and the deceas- ed woman were in the punt alone when the drowning occurred. The circumstances of the upsetting of the craft are being investigated, as nhmerous bruises .were found on the woman's body. Husband in Refo The husband of the dead woman, Frank Kobernick, is now serving a ter min the Ontario Reformatory at Guelph, and was notified of the tragedy last night, Besides the husband, those surviving include one daughter, Mary, aged 14; and three sons, George, aged 16, Alec 14, and Henry, 12. Mrs. Kober. nick was a native of Ukrania and came to Oshawa seventeen years ago.

OLD SCOTTISH CITY OF EDINBURGH The New City and the Old Described by Writer of Edinburgh, -- Imagine a city whose ancient nucleus is ranged along the spine of a swarthy bas- alt, sloping at first, steepening rap- idly, then terminating in sudden vertical cliffs, Gordon Howe in "Edinburgh, Mine Own Romantic Town." Place this time-scarred relic of another age in a setting of volcanic mountain spurs and precipitous ascents with distant cones conspicuous across a great space wherein lies a broad inlet ot the sea----a gleaming presence add ing splendour and sombre dignity. To this old city add a later one separated from the earlier by a ravine--dry now, but at one time enriched with a loch, and picture to oneself a new city built in a style so simple and massive and in tone so inclined toward a uni- formity of simple grey that its set- ting of dark green produces an en tirely satisfying harmony. Add to this an ever-changing veil of smoke--soft, mysterious, diaphon- ous, thrown across a spired and chimneyed slope which looks upun the sunlit side of the old city. Think of the whole which these things present. , . and one has Ka- inburgh. Plan Shows Artistry Had those who planned the Geor- glan expansion of Edinburgh--the new city between that of the Mid- dle Ages and the stream called the Water of Leith--failed to recus nize the commanding need for a broad boulevard open to the south, facing the whole length of the most imposing portion of the cas- tle-crowned ridge, one of the great. est opportunities ever offered to a planner of cities would have been lost. If buildings, no matter how dignified, had flanked both sides of Princes Street, that thoroughfare would have ranked no higher than the adjoining George Street it would have missed an opportunity, even as London's Strand, by shut. ting out its riverside view, had de- prived London, and the world of much urban, grandeur. Here, then, in Scotland's capital the chance of greatness has been seized upon and the city has there- by. been lifted up to a level of mag- niticence which has made the fa- .miliar comparison with the Attic metropolis justified. And on the Calton Hill, as if purposely placed there to suggest the ruins of the lesser Parthenon, the {incomplete colonnade of a national monument strengthens the comparison with the home of classic art. It is to the Calton Hill, within a stone's- throw of this noble group of Dorie columns, -that one must go to see one of the finest of the comprehen- sive views of the city, for there one is near enough to distinguish archi- tectural 'detail and at the same time see a grouping of buildings so impressive that under no light and at no hour of the day does it lose its atmopshere of grandeur. Viewed At Sunset Climb the slight ascent toward sunset, or when storm clouds are drifting up from the west, and the splendour of the scene is unforget- table. The long saddleback ridge of mediaeval Edinburgh, punctuat- ed by its spires and the crowded tower of the Cathedral, presented perhaps as little more than a sil- houette of sombre grey, is often relieved of its sternness toward the end of the day by a gleam of old gold or a band of red dulled by the ever-present veil of smoke which drifts across the southern side of the rock. These are the days when rain or wind has contrived to re- move the 'reek,' and then one may be rewarded by touches of gold on shining roofs; and beyona the serrated outline of the fortress a fiery glory which so floods the more distant portions of the scene that towers, spires, chimneys, roofs and all else are turned into burn- ished bronze against which the del- fcate Gothic detail of Scott's monu- ment is thrown out with just suffi- cient emphasis. In the opposite wetsern conflagration {is reflected on the Salisbury Crags, turning them into 'a wall of gold as though some fabulous king of Caledonia had begun to engirdle his strong- hold upon Arthur's Seat with a wall of the precious metal and had failed to complete his enterprise. Even the grass-grown heights above are changed from their hab- itual gray-green to tones so warm that it might be imagined that the soil had become auriferous and the turf nurtured by it had thereby as- sumed a golden lure. Hill is Enchanted Height On such occasions as these magl- cal changes can be wrought in a few moments and the Calton Hill becomes an enchanted height from which everything appears in a guise of romance, only faintly ap- preciated by those who are content with the less appeal of Princes Street and elsewhere down below in the hurly-burly of twentieth- century thoroughfares. INTERMEDIATES LOSE TO PETES The Oshawa intermediate team yet- terday visited Peterboro and there they dropped their second game out of four starts when the Peterboro Raybestos team took them in, getting an early lead and holding it through- out the seven innings that the twlight fixture called for. Lefty Gower starting on the mound for the locals, was batted out of the box in the first inning when after he had walked three batters, a homer and singles accounted for six runs to put the home team far ahead in the game. The locals also cut loose in the initial inning to get three runs due to a walk, a hit and a three bagger after which a single by Mec- Dougal scored the third run of the local four, Frink, who relieved Gower in the first, held the Raybestos team scoreless until -the fifth, when they again broke loose and notched three direction, the PRESENT STEAMER RUG TO REV. AND MRS. R. WHATTAM Honored on Eve of Depart- ure on Trip to Europe A pleasing intericde occurred last evening at the conclusion of the prayer service at Albert street United church when the Ladies' Ald of the church presented Rev. R. A. and Mrs, Whattam with a steamer rug, in view of their forth- coming trip to Britain and Europe. Rev. and Mrs. Whattam will leave on June 82 an the "bon voyages" of their many friends in the city will accompany them, With the presentation of the rug the following address was tam,--Seéing you are contemplat- ing a vacation in the near future we, the Ladies' Ald, could not le the occasion pass without showing in some small measure our appre- ciation to our sincere and hard- working pastor and equally effic- fent wife, We hope your sea voy- age will be calm and pleazant and your visita to the old historica places of Europe interesting and inspiring. May the trip prove profitable both in new friendships and renewed health, especially Mrs, Whattam, whom we hop. will return fully recuperated from her recent illness. We now ask you to accept this token, a rug, and our best wishes be with you during your absence. Bon voyage and a safe return. Signed, Mrs, D, Cam- eron and Mrs, W, J. Coakweil. ' This rpesentation was one of many material evidences of the high esteem with which Rev. and Mrs. Whattam are held n the par- ROTARY STREET FAIR A SUCCES (Continued from page 3) booth, providing weird music and hair-raising stunts, doing contor- tion acts and in other ways max- ing a real contribution to the eve- ning's entertainment. Four Bands Music of another variety was provided in an appreciated way by four of the best known bands of Ontario county, the Ontario Regi- mental, the Salvation Army, and the Citizens' Bands of Oshawa and the Port Perry band. Two band stands were provided, one in the centre of the King and Simcoe street intersection, and one in front of Karn's drug store, and be- tween the four bands, a practically continuous program of music was given. A large variety of acrobatic stunts was given by a group of vaudeville entertainers from Tor- onto that drew a packed crowd around their platform. The Ukra- nian choir of this city also provea a big attraction, commanding pro- longed applause with their musical selections. Many Booths Clanging bells, tooting horns, and shouts of the booth men cry- ing their wares, kept everyone aware that there were a couple of dozen booths to be patronized. Blankets, baby dolls, lingerie and light bulbs and "other articles too numeorus to mention," proved too much of a temptation, and pockets that went to the fair full went home empty. But it was all in a good cause, And, of course, the big question all evening was, "who will get the automobile?" Girls selling tickets on the auto draw did a thriving husiness, and the merry clink, clink of the cash registers provided a melody to the slogan "Help the Kiddies." Confetti thrown from upstairs windows added color to an already colorful scene, and "all went mer ry as a marriage bell." Then the clock turned the corner of twelve, the last wanderers betook them- selves home to a belated rest; and King and Simcoe streets became a deserted corner, but a ghost of Oshawa's most successful street fair. TRENTON CAMP SITE WILL BE INSPECTED Colonel Ralston and Officers Are Looking Over Ground Ottawa, June 20.--The Hon, J. L. Ralston, Minister of National Defense; G. J. Desbarats and a number of officers of the Royal Canadian Air Force left yesterday for Trenton to look over the ground at that place for the new aviation field to replace Camp Bor- den, The Bay of Quinte affords, it is claimed, the proper water. facili- ties for the purposes of an air camp, and the rest of the ground is stated to be satisfactory. The chances of the air camp being lo- cated at Ottawa are definitely out of the picture, it being found that the current in the Ottawa River was too strong for the water craft of the camp. hitting. The Oshawa team's last tally came in the seventh inning when they used a couple of pinch hitters to ac- count for one run through single hits. This game was the second meeting of these two teams, the locals win- ning the first here on the 24th of May. The two teams now stand even more as a result of a walk and tim ely | and two losses each, read: "Dear Mr, and Mrs,- What- | BF OR 25 DOZEN Hemmed GLASS TOWELS Good generous size 21x28 in., white with red check patterns. quality Irish cotton.
