About a mile this side of Fergus they were hav- ing lunch when a speed fiend went by at fully sixty miles an hour. He was accompanied by three girls and hadn’t gone far when he hit a little boy who had gone out to the mail box on the side of the highway. The impact threw the boy forty feet and fractured his skull. The three young ladies in the car were only slightly injured.

Chain of Accidents While Mr. M. H.

A large Am- erican car driven by Earl Boice, of Detroit, came up and went to pass them. Just as Boice was drawing well up on the Ford, Caverly, its driver, decided to pass the wagon and pulled out and the two cars came together, the larger one forc- ing the other into the wagon and shoving it over into. the. ditch. -_-'I_-.‘ The wagon was totally wrecked and the Ford badly damaged. Mr. Murphy’s horses started to run away and a motorist, coming east, ran his car into a post to save him- self from being run into. He had the misfortune to bend an axle. The cast bound motorist captured the runaway and then it was found that one of the horses was so ser- iously injured that later it had to be shotâ€"Brighton Ensign. Hydro In _Arran? -J --v v.- We understand there is quite a pronounced agitation to have the hydro power extended from Tara to Arkwright and surrounding dis- trict. We think that this is a move in the right direction and would like to see the progressive farmers of the district go ahead with the matter. With the Government pol- icy of bonusing the lines the cost of installing hydro is considerably lower than five years ago. In the past three years the rural develop- ment of hydro has been phenomen- al, due to the lessened cost. This year rural lines have nearly trebled in number.â€"Tara Leader. -u '- v‘.

Sauer pleaded not guilty. The magistrate dismis- sed the charge, but ordered that Sauer be deprived of the right to operate a motor car on the public highways for a period of one year from this date. The accident oc- curred near Teeswater on June 19th. Stroeder was leading a horse along the highway when struck by the car. He was thrown a distance of _th_irty feet and sustained severe injuries: In all the world there is no other! thing so beautiful as that which men call light, no other joy on swift advancing wing as fair as this that drives away the night.

Mr. Plante stated that he thought it was all right to make a settlement of this kind. as $2.00 of the sum paid was given to Mr. Walker, the storekeeper, and ,the other $3.00 was for his con- istable’s fees. He said he knew both of the young men, and they were respectable and the offense was not â€"- vv‘v v...â€"- a serious one. He also stated that County Constable Cook of Flesher- ton, had done this same sort of thing on a number of occasions this summer, and he claimed that he did not know any. better,” “ County Crown Attorney Dyre pointed out that in making a set- tlement of this kind he was just compounding a felony, which is a very serious offense against the law, and stated that as a man who had been constable as long as he had should have known better. He intimated that a full report of the circumstances would be forwarded to the proper officials at Toronto. and there might be a fuller investi- gation. In the meantime the Crown Attorney advised that greater care should be taken in the study of the law, and no more mistakes would be tolerated.
