DEATH OF AN OLD FRIEND Steering Geâ€"EWent Wrong and 081‘ Ran Into Bushes. Dr. McComh of Owen Sound, ac- cording to a dispatch from Meaford to The Owen Sound Sun-Times, met with an accident near that place last ; Thursday afternoon when motoring . with a friend from the Scenic City to the lakeside town. Something went wrong with the steering gear 'about three miles west of Meaford with the result that the car left the road and ran into a clustre of bush- es which fortunately prevented it hitting a telegraph pole only a few feet away. The force of the impact smashed one of the front wheels into fragments and ripped the tire off the other front wheel. Otherwise! the car was not badly damaged. Exw cept for a shaking up, Dr. McComb ; and his passenger escaped injury. ' Dr. McComb, who is an Optician, ' pays periodical visits to Durham, and while here makes his headquart- _ ers at McFadden‘s drug store. {)nly ,AAA L- ....\n nnn Ula “U ‘VIU‘. “Hy-vu- a couple of months ago he was one of the principals in a spectacular wreck in Durham when his car left the roadway opposite Thomas Scarfs in Upper Town, crashed into a culvert. and didmore or less dam~ age. This time, the doctor was ac- companied by his wife, and it, was while opening one of the windows in the coupe to let in some fresh air that the accident occurred.
