Phone 41 man east, and the same said of the evidence that was given in the case, The story told by the pieintiff and his witnesses was direct- ly opposite to that related by the de- fence, Prosecution's Story. The evidence for the prosecution placed the blame for the accident on Mr. Lipman. It showed that the col- lision resulted from his car taking up more of the road than it should. Mr. Wilson, so he and his witnesses testified, put his car, which was travelling slowiy over to the extreme side of the roadway; in fact if he had gone over any farther he would have toppled into the ditch. On the other hand, Mr. Lipman had three or four feet to spare on his side of the roadway. Notwithstanding this lee- way, his car crashed into M- Wil- son's, striking it between the font and rear wheels, Instead of follow- ing a straight course, Mr. Lipman's car swerved, the prosecution's ex- planation of this being that an in- structor, who was sitting beside Mr. Lipman, who was driving, also took hold of the wheel when the cars were approaching. That, in brief, was the story told by Mr. Wilson -and his witnesses, James, William and Clarke Hamilton and Robert Bradford, who were in the ear with him. Harry Peters, who repaired the car, told of the damn- ages which it sustained. Mr. Lipman's Defence, For the defence, Mr. Lipman, his wife, his mother-in-law, Mrs. La- france, and the instructor, Albert Sheets, put a different complexi on the accident. - They swore that the accident was caused by the 'negli- gence of Mr. Wilson. When Mr, Lipman saw the other car approach- ing at a fast rate of speed he stopped his car at the edge of the roadway, leaving pienty of room for the other car to pass, Instead of passing them, however the other car crashed. into them without slowing down. Mr, Wilson turned aside, but too late, the rear wheel of his car catching the front wheel of Mr. Lipman's car. covered with mud, Both legs are broken and equally covered with mud and slime. In spite of all 'these hor- rible wounds and the pain caused by them, a smile lights up the face of the hero; he asks for water in a hol- low voice, and after he has received it he says: 'Well, Doc., old sport, we did the trick, and Fritz will not for- get us in a hurry. We've won the lost trenches and more; those four days in the land swept by .a hell of shot and shell have passed and gee! I wigh 1 had the Kaiser in my grasp; he would die for the pain and suffer- ing caused by the death of my chum Jack, who, poor lad, has been with me through it all from the first. Say, Doc.,how's the chances for a cig; I'm crazy for a smoke!' "The work of dressing the wounds and applying splints to the broken limbs has finished, and the hero is carried to the ambulance. God spéed, him and may he have a speedy recov- ery. "Say! - Do you guys at home in your fancy cut suits and dinky shirts and ties, realize what the men are doing out here for you? Men are lying: out in the open for four gays wounded and exposed to all Kinds of weather, and living through it all with a smile and a joke on their lips Do not let your conscience trouble you a bit longer but join up and be a man for the time is coming when those of us who are left will return and then where will you fit?" MAJOR ¥. W. PARTRIDGE Complimented on The Efficicncy or His Command, According to information received by his relatives, Major F. W, Part- ridge, of this city, who went overseas with the 77th Ottawa Regiment, was called out in front of the brigade while at Bramshott Camp, England, by General Watsomw, who had just re- turned from the front, and was com- plimented on the efficiency of his command. Major Patridge has since been sent to the front in France with 270 men, retaining his rank. The popular major's many friends Campbells Big Straw Hat Sale Is in full swing.

During these days when Canadians are dropping their rank in order to get to the front it is indeed a high compliment that has been accorded Major Partridge in re- taining hs rank. M. P. McNeill, W. B. Foley, Giles McRae and Mark Foley, farmers in the vicinity of where the accident happened, testified that Mr. Lipman's car was as near the edge of the road- way as it was safe for it to go. They also stated that there was plenty of space left for the other car to pass.
