Doctor' Noticed Swelling in Arm on Tuesday Night--Incisions Made, But Efforts to Save Life Proved Unavailing. Allan Robinson, a well-known young Kingstonian, died at 11.45 on - Wednesday morning as a re- sult of being bitten by a dog on Fri- day night last. Relerence was made in the Whig on Saturday to the fact that while attempting to stop a dog fight after the auto accident on King | -street on Friday night, when Brig.- Gen, Hemming"s car was smashed, Allan Robinson was severely bit- ten in the right arm by one of the dogs, and received nredical atten- tion at the General Hospital, The ypung man was attended by Dr, G. . 'Mylks, and all precautionary measures to prevent blpod-poisoning were taken. The wound was cau- terized and antiseptically treated, and after.spending the night at the hospital the young man was allowed to go to his home nearby. He was accustomed to "go to the hospital to have the arm dressed and treated and he was improving splen- didly. On Tuesday night, however, when he went to the hospital to have the wound dressed, the surgeon at- tending noticed that the cut had swollen considerably, and would re- quire immediate attention. Dr. Mylks called Dr. Mundell into con- sultation and they decided that an operation was necessary. The wound was reopened, and an operation was performed to save the arm. It was impossible to amputate the arm as the wound was too high, and it would not have been effective in saving the young man's life. It is particularly sad that this young man, | who would haev been only twenty- eight years of age on Friday next, In Bivouac : And Barracks (S00 alec Page 9.) -- Sappe:s R. FAS Baird and C.

The! soldier is Pte. Morton Barber, who! hails from Plum Hollow. Five months ago he left his unit and went to Calgary. . All went well for a while, but his conscience began to trouble hini, and at last he was con- vinced that it was his duty do return and surrender. This he did, pay- ing his own travelling expenses. He appeared before Lieut.-Col. Hunter Wednesday morning on the giment without leave, and ded guilty. In view of his voluntary return and of his good record while a 'soldier, 'the magistrate allowed him to go on suspended sentence, first giving him a caustic yet withal kindly lecture, which brought tears to his eyes.
