Brussels, May -11.--George Hend- erson, aged 30, whose auto oyerturn: ed last evening near Seaforth, died from his injuries. His neck was bro- ken and no hope was held out for his recovery from the first. Before laps- ing into an unconscious condition he rmoade a statement in which he ad- mitted that he was to blame for the fatality. In trying to pass a car which was abead of him on the road, he ran into it and his own auto oyer- turned. As the fatality was purely accidental, no inquest will be beld. Mr. Henderson came here from Sea- forth sometime ago, and had worked up a good draying business. Besides his wife and three small children he leaves his mother and two brothers, James and John, al! of Seaforth. The funeral was held Saturday to the Maitlandbank cemetery at Seaforth.
