Premier Ferguson Had Close Call During Campaign of 1926 Car in Which He Was Riding Plunged Into Exca- vation With Severe Injuries to Prime Minister.â€"Spoke Two Hours Nex‘. Day to Big Crown at Orono. A recent issue of the Toronto Globe tells of an accident to Premier G. How- ard Ferguson during his 1926 campaign that will be news to a good many elect- ors throughout the province. In a re- cent issue it said: “Well.” said the Globe to Pemrier Ferguson yesterday. “you won’t 'have the close call this election that you had. in 1926.” “What close call are you referring to?” asked the Prime Minister. “You were pretty nearly killed, were you not?” said. the Globe. “I’d hardly put it that strong,” smiled the Premier, “but"â€"and he rubbed his forehead. reflectivelyâ€"“it was a nasty bump’." The story of that bumpâ€"a bump which. in fact. nearly cost Ontario her Prime Ministerâ€"a bump which, in the Prime Minister's own words was “hard- er than anything I can possibly expe- rience in this campaign be it win or lose â€"â€"is told now fo1 the first time. Homeward bound one night from a platform speech in Orillia. whirling along Yonge street. Mr. Ferguson’s big car plunged into a pavement excava- tion. The night was black and gusty with rain: the red danger lamp over the excavation had flickered out: and there was nothing to warn the govern- ment chauffeur of the lurking danger. The heavy machine went through the flimsy barricade with a grinding crash. spun dizzily on two wheels, for a few ’moments threatened to topple com- pletely, then. stripped of its two right fenders and running-board, righted itself and climbed on to the pavement on even keel. Of all the passengers in the car, the Premier bore the brunt of the injuries. Pitched to the floor of the tonneau om his head. he received a blow that rais- ; ed above his eyes a welt fullvfive inch- ‘ es long and as thick as a man’s thumb. and one which required medical0atten- tion the minute he reached his then Poplar Plains Road residence. There was no sleep, no rest for him the bal- ance of that night. Until 10 or 11 o'- clock in the morning he was in his physician’s hands. with hot compresses. massages and a half-dozen other forms of treatment constantly the order of ‘things. “How Could I Disappoint Them?” I At 11.30, still considerably dazed, he looked at his watch and quite casually remarked: “Well, I must be off.” I “0f! where?" was the question hur- “Yéu're not,” said his doctor. “You mustn't do itâ€"you simply can’t aflord to do it.” counsglied his friends. c LL- an fi‘n“- to 00 IL.

Police Court Cases ' Caused Merriment WMWJMMQ Comxunommuumrs Friday was “Joke” day in police court here and Magistrate Spereman on the bench was plainly disgusted that they everimmdtheirwayintocourtasthere was no, evidence that would convict any of the accused. TheflrstcasewasthatoiGeorgeMc-v Meekin who was accused of being un- der the influence of liquor while in charge of a motor vehicle. The Chron- icle reporter was on hand when the court was opened, heard the McMeeEin case and the commencement of the hearing of charges against Robert Cambpell, and soon decided that there would not be sumcient interest to waste the rest of the afternoon and came home. Our -reporter’s action was justi- fied in the light ’of what transpired af- terwardo. iv- v John Molson, who conducts the store at the Rocky and on whose instigation the charge against McMeekin was pre- ferred, fell down badly in his evidence and Magistrate Spereman promptly dismissed the action. McMeekin was charged with causing a disturbance in the store, backing against the gasoline pump and damaging it and breaking a few eggs when his foot slipped off the edge of a basket when he was using the telephone. A 0 C--- _- 1.1.-4. U Molson could give no evidence that he smelled liquor, and as all the dam- age done could easily have been done by anyone and had been fully settled for the Magistrate declared there was absolutely no evidence and dismissed the charge. The charge against Campbell was of being under the influence of liquor and in charge of a truck, of sideswiping two cars between Owen Sound and Chats- worth and of failing to return to the scene of an. accident. Considerable ev- idence was taken but the charges of intoxication were far" from proven and as the plaintiff had been in touch with different people along the route that night who were prepared to swear that Ihe was not under the influence of li- quor. this charge was dismissed. There was considerable contradictory evidence about the sideswiping of the tWo pas- senger cars, that the charge of reckless driving was also thrown out. A con- viction was made on the charge of fail- _£ __ Anna VIULIUII "(In I..““v â€"__ -_ uro to return to the scene of an acci- dent. Campbell’s evidence went to show that he had no knowledge of hit- ting any cars, and even the evidence of his accusers did not complain of ex- cessive speed. their chief complaint be- ing that they claimed he was not trav- elling on his own side of the road and 'did not allow them sufficient roadway.

ROOM ROBBED LAST WEEK Thieves Gained Admittance Through Front Door and Sorry Away Whole Stocir. oi’ Cigarettes.â€"Provincia1 Po- lice Have Case in Hand. Some time between midnight and daylight last Friday morning thieves secured entrance into the A. S: Hastfie pool room here, helped themselves to his whole stock of cigarettes, the pipes, ash trays and other smokers’ supplies. Pipe tobaccos, and cigars were not tak- en for the evident reason that they‘ are too hard to dispose of. In all about 12.000 cigarettes are thought to have been lifted and with the other goods stolen the loss will run, it is estimated by Mr. Hastie, to in the neighborhood of $400. When the theft was discover- ed Saturday morning the Provincial Police were given the case and are now working on it. To date. however, the identity of the robbers is a mystery. The thieves gained entrance to the store by jimmying the front door and prying back the lock, not a difficult task 'on the ordinary business place lock if lthe right instrument is used... Residents lin the vicinity of the store recall that lthey heard a car pull away from that neighborhood about 4 o’clock in the morning but as cars are on the move here at all hours of the night little or ino attention was paid. to it.
