Terribly burned when some gasoline took flre Mr. Russell Ludlow lies in the Stephenson Memorial hospital as com- fortable as he can be made under the circumstances. From the tips of the fingers of one hand up to above the elbow the skin is burned off and in one spot the flesh is badly burned. His face is also badly burned. The ac- cident occurred Friday afternoon at Mr. Ludlow's coal sheds at the CPR. siding. Mr. Ludlow and Thos. Riley were engaged in the construction of an additional shed. Some distance from them a gasoline engine was running Sparks and Gasoline and some eight or ten feet distant from the engine was a pail of gasoline. The engine backfired, the spark from this dangerous action of a gas motor being shot directly into the gasoline which immediately burst into a sheet of flame. Mr. Ludlow rushed to get his horse away to safety and in doing so was: caught by the flame. A straw hat which he was wearing protected his. head. saving his hair and probably his eyes. He rolled in the grass to extin- guish the flame and Mr. Riley being close by lost no time in summoning a doctor. The injured man was taken to the hospital where everything pos- sible was done to relieve his suffering.

We have observed that in this district this regu- lation has not been taken seriously and the courier is obliged to first turn in right and next left. etc.. to serve his patrons.

The fact that a mail courier was killed near Corbetton on Tuesday in just such a situation should create sufficient publicity that a recurrence would not Parkdale Ladies Athletic (‘lub of Toronto recently visited Mont- real, and since all the nice girls love a sailor and ships. they had of course to pay a call on Cana- dian Pacific steamer Metagamu. then in port.

Miss Robertson learned that there were in the neighborhood of twenty warrants out for her arrest. She might have accelerated her car and disappeared across the border; she might. have done lots of other things. but Elsie Robertson was a true lady.
