Senior, Glerk IACXIDJSNTAL DEATH WITH NO BLAME TO ANYONE ’ The Coroner’s jury investigating the death of Wm- Lutman returned 1 a verdict of accidental de$th with no blame to be attached to anyone,. The inquest opened Friday morning of last week and after hewing the evidence of Doctor Dunlop the, 1 ’court adjourned awaiting a report’ from Hydro Electric Commission on the transformers and equipment which had been sent to Toronto for inspection, , ;Qn Wednesday morning-the Court resumed with Coroner-/Dr. W. E, Weekeg presiding and with Crown Attorney D, Holmes, of Goderich, cpnductin'g the enquiry. The evidence Wednesday moaning wa» given by persons in connection with the hydro with three experts from the Ontario Hydro Commission Mr. H- W. Doerr, supt. of the Public Utilities, testified that in his examin­ ation of the pole and equipment where the fatality occurred that he could find-nothing that would cause the ground wire- to be alive. Every­ thing was found in first-class con­ dition. Following the day of fatal­ ity two inspectors were here from Toronto and made an examination of the equipment at the spot and at the MnqueSt Wednesday they testi­ fied that they could find no appar­ ent reason for the charging of the ground wire. The equipment was sent^to T-oronto and the report on these stated that they were standard, equipment and O.K.' The chart at the local power station for that day gave no evidence of a'short circuit of abnormal* consumption of' power. While the covering of the ground wire with a wooden moulding is a standard practice it is not adopted by* all systems and in the city 0-f Toronto with, the same system, the; Wire is not covered. That the wire had become alive and had caused Mr. Lutman’s death was apparent but how it became alive .was a mystery The- jurymen were Rd. Coates, foreman,, Chas. Birney, A. E. Moore, C. Luker,’ W. A. Turnbull, Wm. Mel­ ville, W. H. Harness and J. Elston. Dr. Dunlop’s Evidence "''The inquest held by Coroner D-r. W. E. Weekes into the death of the late William Lutman, lineman for the Exeter Public Utilities Commis­ sion; o-pened in the j'Tow^v, Ha-W”''oh .Friday morning of last week. The ^only evidence submitted was that of ir. Dunlop, who stated that after ,,^eing called to the scene of the ac­ cident he had assisted Mr. Reeder in applying artificial respiration and al­ so gave a. hypodermic in an endeav­ or to stimulate heart action from which there was no response and only after examining the eyes and th© jaws which had started to stiffen indicating conclusively that the man had. been dead for some time were the efforts ceased to survive him. Tlr& doctor stated that there are cases where .artificial respiration have been known to revive sufferers fr-qm shock after a considerable time -but in all cases there has beqn a slight quivering of the heart. Where the heart has stopped for three minutes it is not possible to bring life back. As two witnesses who had been summoned from the Hydro Department in Toronto were not ready with their report the case was adjourned until a date set by tile coroner and held Wednesday morhing of this week. AUTO COLLIDES WITH FREIGHT TR AIN Dr. E. S. Steiner and wife. accent, panied by Mrs. Asa Penhale had a close'call about S.50 Monday/*morn- ing"when the former’s iauto collided • with .a moving freight train at the Huron Street crossing. The party were leaving for Guelph where Dr. Steiner intended to be present at a conference of Ontario Veterinary Surgeons. A heavy downpour of rain was falling at the time and with the windows covered with water visibil­ ity was poor and Dr. Steiner was proceeding cautiously buf failed to hear or see the approach of the freight train from *tlie -south. For­ tunately the train was slowing down at the time, preparatory to switching •to a siding. When the driver notic­ ed the train it was almost upon him He swerved the car in the same di­ rection the train was travelling and brought ft to a stop just as the ^tep of the engine caught the front bump-* er of the auto tearing the step from the engine. The train was brought t>3> a stop in three car lengths and during that time the auto was struck three times, the radiator be­ ing dented, the front fender broken and the back fender bumped, engine of the car remaineo and the car was brought info er under its owii power. Mr. hale, who whs at the house when the party left, heard the whistle of the tra/n and watching feared for safety of the occupants of the He was soon on the. scene brought- the party to Exeter. It a nerve-racking experience and all happened in, a jiffy but with splendid grit they proceeded to Guelph in Mr, Peilhale’s car, none the worse for their misadventure., it was surely what might be termec a hair-lbreath escape. ground,, the rest Is past ripe. As tW wheat is on a farm where there no buildings Mr. Taylor has place for storing thej wheat and grain buyers in this community not buying any at .present. ‘ The farmers are utilizing every minute of the fine weather between the shower and while the damage to date is not great some fine weath­ er'is needed as the barley is crowd* ing the wheat. The corn, roots, beans and yegOr- tables are looking their very best. A good deal of plowing has been done. Dairy herds apd cattle thriving on the fine pastures abundance of water. Mrs. Chas. Anderson, who recently left Exeter for Sarnia, underwent an. operation on Monday for appendici­ tis. Her many friends will be glad to know that she is getting along as? Well as can be expected. Marshall Dearing, of town, had the misfortune to be struck ip the* face -with a ball at a b^.11 game inf. Crediton on Friday receiving a nas­ ty gash in the lips which required, several stitches to close. The wound was dressed by Dr. Dunlop.

Sadly missed by Father, Mother, Bnothets and Sisters; ♦ During the severe electrical storm which passed over this section early Wednesday the ‘splendid J. Horney, miles north by lightning and burned to the ground. When the lightning struck the barn fire sfeemed to break out from every quarter and nothing could he done to save anything. The hay crop had just been gathered and it was destroyed together with a number of farm implements, teh pigs, tw calves and n pet dog. The loss is partly covered by insurance. Owing to the continued rains vest in this community has been carried oht under dififc.ulty. Rain has fallen every day for over a week and several severe electric' storms have passed over this community do­ ing damage in ^iany localities. Odd fields of hay were cut before the. rain settled in but little, of this will be gaved and will of necessity have t.o be burned. The wheat has been comin'g along fast and is ready for tlje binder, A bright clay on Sun­ day raised the hopes >of the farmers that they would be into trie fields with earnest on Monday but a heavy downpour Monday morning changed ail this. By Tuesday morning farm­ ers were able to get onto the land and much hay and wheat fell before the mower and binder but ions were again held up by a Tuesday evening. With th well soaked it is difficult to the machinery in gome fields. Last summer and during the win­ ter there was a scarcity of water and many wells were dry. It is re­ ported that Mondays rain was the first to reach some of the wells and only this week have the cree’ts and rivers risen. The land is now thor­ oughly' soaked and some- of the creek’s are running high. In some instances the fall wheat, is reported to be shelling out while some others report rust and in other ■ cases where wheat has been cut it is reported to be sprouting, Mr. Frank Taylor, of town has 80 acres of wheat, 25 acres of which are. out and standing in water on wet Thursday, July 23rd s at 6.30 p.m. SEAFORTH VS.
