Stricken with heart failure at Lans- while driving his motor ear, Willlam J. Millsap, 7 Ridout Street, died al- most immediately. Mr. Millsap was in his 49th year. Mr. Millsap was south-bound on Lansdowne 'Avenue, when he was fatally seized. At this point the hill is quite steep. It is thought that Mr. Millsap collapsed about halfway down the incline, so that the car, with no guiding hand at the wheel and no foot on the brake, ran across Davenport Road, jumped the low curb on the south side of that thoroughfare, and crashed through the fence which sur- rounds the old Canada Foundry pipe shop." The car remained upright. Wit- nesses rushed to the spot. When they saw Mr, Millsap sitting motionless at the wheel they adjudged : that .the shock of impact with the fence had rendered him unconscious. A doctor was called, and after an examination he pronounced Mr. Millsap dead. Two More Magazines Banned From Canada A despatch from Ottawa says: -- Announcement has been made by Hon.
