VARNA MAN KILLED
NEAR RRUCEF1ELD
William Wilson 'Anderson, in his
21st year, son of David Anderson re
siding near Varna, was instantly
killed, and James Tayjor was also
injured about the head when the au
to in which they were riding crashed
into a standing truck belonging to
Epps & Sons, Varna early on Fri
day. The accident occurred short
ly after midnight half a mile west of
Byucefield on the Bayfield road.
Ernest Epps, driver of the truck,
had run out of gasoline and had
just returned from Brucefield with
a supply. After putting in the gaso
line he noticed that one of the
tires was soft and had just connect
ed up the engine pump when the
crash came. The car ip which the
young men were rjding had passed
another car a short distance from
the truck and it is believed that
Taylor the driver of the car failed to
see the standing truck owing to the
heavy cloud of dust and glare of the
lights. The passenger car crashed-
into the rear of the truck and was
badly wrecked. The two young
men who were home from Detroit
spending their holidays, were re
turning to their homes at the time
of the crash. Taylor was believed
to be seriously hurt and was moved
to the hospital at Clinton where it
was found, that he had suffered a
cut about the scalp and face. The
funeral private was held from the
home of the parents of the deceas
ed, Lot. 9, concession 7, Stanley

We are sad within our memory,
Lonely are our hearts to-day,
For the one we loved so dearly,
Has forever been called away.
We think of her in silence,
No eye may see us weep;
But many silent tears are shed,
When others are asleep.
