Montreal Gazette: The death by blood-poisoning in London, England, ~on Wednesday, of Lieut; Melville Ernest St. Clair Ward, of the Cana- {dian Grenadier Guards, was notified iin & cable from Col. Hamilton, of the Grenadier Guards, London, which reached Col. F. 8. Meighen. Had he lived another ten days he would have been back in Canada, as he was due to sail at the end of the week for home. Two months ago he left Mont- ireal to be attached to the Grenadier {Guards for a short course. Lieut. Ward had graduated ot McGill Uni- versity as a mechanical engineer, and it was Tis intention on returning to Montreal to settle down and start out in that profession. How he sus- tained the blood-poisoning that ende:l fatally is pot yet known, and no ar- rangements had beon made up to Fri- day as to the transportation of .the body to Canada. ---- Left Them The Green. The 'bowlers who were at Belle- ville bring back a good story with them. At the time when the local men were winning mest of the prizes one of the Belleville club remarked that he hoped they would at least leave the green for the Belleville bowlers. But the local bowlers were satisfied with winning three cups and first in the doubles, so they did leave something for poor, Belleville. ---- The biggest meteor that is known to have hit the earth fell at Coon Mountain, Arizona.
