ARM CAUGHT IN THRESHER
IS TERRIBLY SHATTERED
Earl Dick, eldest son of Mr. Geo.
Dick, of Hay Tp., had his left hand
and arm badly shattered when he
was drawn into & bean thresher on
the farm of Mr. D. Shirfay about a
mile and a half south of Hensail on
Friday afternoon last. While as
sisting in threshing beans in some
manner the belt slipped off and Mr.
Dick endeavored to replace it while
the engine was running. A part of
his clothing was caught by the belt
and his arm. was drawn in. The
bones and muscles of the arm were
so badly injured that it was found
necessary to amputate the arm be
low the elbow. Dr. R. I. Dougall,
of Hensail, was called and assisted
by Dr. Fletcher, 'of Exeter and Dr.
O’Dwyer, of .Zurich, the amputation
was performed. Mr. Dick, who is
18 years of age was employed by Mr.
Geo. Armstrong, thresher, He is
at present at the home of Mr, Shir
ray and although suffering consider
ably is getting along as well as
be expected. ,i
Mr. R. C. Luker and Mr. and Mrs. I
J, A. Luker and family left Thurs-I
day last by auto for Grande Prairie,!
in the Peace River district, Alta,,
where they will reside in future. Mr.
Luker recently sold his farm on the
London Road south and held an auc
tion sale of effects. He shipped a

JOHN SHUTE, OF USBORNE
DIED FOLLOWING STROKE
Mr. John Shute, of the 14 th con
cession of Usborne, died on Friday
last following a paralytic stroke
which he' suffered on the previous
; Monday while at work on his farm.
Mr. Shute Was engaged in banking a
turnip pit at the time p,nd was alone
and hi& condition was not noticed I until some time after he had suf
fered the stroke. He was rendered
unconscious and until the time of
, his death did not regain conscious
ness. Pneumonia developed which
hastened the end. About a 'month ago Mr. Shute lost hisfparns through
fire and he was preparing to -re
build. It is thought that the shock
and excitement .were too much for
him and had something to do with
causing the stroke. ,He was aged
72 years; 11 months and 5 days. The
deceased was born, in the Tp. of Us-
borne where he lived all his life, be
ing a prosperous farmer, widely
known and highly respected. Be

two daughters, Mrs- Charles Tuffin,
of Hibbert and Mrs. Howard Stewart
of Fullarton, and one son Heber, at
home. Mrs. W;m._Bowman andjtfrs.
Thos. Oke, of London, are sisters
and were present at the funeral. The
funeral was held 'Monday afternoon
conducted by Rev. J. L. Foster, of
Kirkton and was * lay^ejy attended.
Interment was inade‘rfn the Kirkton
Union Cemetery.' The pall bearers
were Anics Doupe, Silas Shier, C. H.
Sanders, Alf. Hicks, Milton Gi<„o.y
and Thos. McCurdy.
THE LATE MUC. PROUT
The funeral of . the late Mrs.
Charles Prout took place Sunday
afternoon from the residence of Mr.

Alma Phair, died November 9th at
Dr.' Fletcher’s hospital in Exeter.

years and had been in hospital a
little better than a week. Her age
was 50 years, 11 months and 28
days.* She was born in Exeter and
was married to the late Charles
Prout, who predeceased her about
27 years. For many years she has
been keeping house for Mr. Pen
warden. She is survived by four
brothers, William J. and Norman,-of.

FIRE DESTROYS BARN FOUR
MLLES FROM SEAFORTH
Seaforth—Fire of unknown ori
gin totally destroyed the bank barns
and frame house last Friday evening
together with the season’s crop, on
the Gibbings-farm, recently purchas
ed by G. W: Nott, on the Huron Rd.
four miles west of Seaforth. It was
fortunate for adjoining property
owners that a heavy rain fell during
the fire. A terrific gale was blow
ing and sparks would have been car
ried far and wide. The house was
unoccupied, The loss was only
partly covered by insurance. It is
thought that the barn may have been
struck by lightning.

FORMER CREDITON COUPLE
CELEBRATE SILVER
WEDDING
The Gazette, of Olds, Alta., con
tains the. following account of the
silver-wedding of Mr. and Mrs. .Wm.
[Sweet, formerly of Crediton: "On
Fiiday evening, October 14th,
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Sweet had the
peaceful tenor of their cozy home
and hearth invaded by a gathering
of friends and neighbors who had
planned a‘ surprise party to partici
pat with them in the celebration of
their silver wedding. After ’ the
gathering had entertained their host
and hostess with a number of old
heajt songs a delicious repast was
served to the large gathering. Fol
lowing this Mr. B. Bullard was call
ed upon to make the presentation of
numerous pieces of beautiful silver
ware, on behalf of the Baptist
church people and other friends and (neighbors. Mr. Sweet on behalf of
his lady and himself, thanked one
and all for the handsome presents,
which showed more than words the
high esteem in,, which they are held
in church circles as well as by
friends and neighbors in the com
munity. Mrs. W. R. Cross then read
a silver wedding poem written
especially for the occasion. There
will be no surprise party 'when Mr.
and Mrs. Sweet celebrate their gold
en wedding, as the large gathering
were emphatic in their vows that
they would be there to help celebrate
when they reached that -far-distant
mile-stone—This surely must be
essence of optimism.”
