The many friends of Mrs. Vera
Wilken, daughter of Mrs. Marshall,
Who a few months ago moved to
London, will be pleased to learn1
that she has .won her suit for dam-*
ages against the owner of the car
which caused the death of her hus
band, the late Lloyd Wilken at Iro
quois last June. Mr. and Mi’s. Wil
ken were returning to their home
after a, dance when the car in Which
they were riding was rammed from
behind by the car of a, young farm
er named Milligan, who had per
mitted a young lady friend to drive.
The force of the impact was such as
to drive the forward car into a
tree and resulted in a factored
skull for Mr. Wilken. The defendant
Milligan and his party claimed that
the other oar had suddenly turned
in front of them but Mr. Justice
Sedgowlck of the Supreme Court of
the Brookville Assizes where the
case was heard for two days has
given judgment in favor of Mrs.
Wilken for $3,000 damages and
coats. As a great many witnesses
Wore examined the expenses will be
heavy, Mrs. Wilken was accompan
ied from London to .Brookville by
her counsel,, Mr. J. <?. Stanbury,
Who has personally conducted the
case from the beginning. Mr#Gr

During the last, week and particularly the last day or so of the
contest a great deal of interest was manifested both by the con
testants and the public. Every mail brought subscriptions with,
votes for their particular candidate. One letter came by air mail
from the West and. arrived just in time. A large number of new
subscribers has been added to our lists and we wish to welcome
these newcomers to our great family of .readers. We wish also to
express oui’ appreciation to those who have responded and assisted,
their favorite candidate to win one of the prizes. ’ We stated at
the beginning that there would be no losers. Everyone received
a prize and all of them seemed to be perfectly satisfied. We have
been pleased with the words of appreciation that have been ex
pressed in connection with the prizes. In selecting the prices we
wanted something that we felt everyone would be happy to own.
The gift of these prizes was made possible only by the splendid co
operation of the various merchants of town and to them we owe
an expression of appreciation.
We wish also to express our gratitude to the candidates on
the fair way and sportsmanlike manner they entered into the con
test. Some of them worked like trojans from the start to the fin
ish and the .results were shown at the close.
The Times-Advocate now has one of the largest and one of the
cleanest lists of any place the size of Exeter in the province. This
is one consideration that the national advertiser takes into account
and emphasizes very strongly and national advertising is one of
the great sources of revenue for any paper.
We have been 'delighted with the many kindly remarks and.
words of appreciation that have come from so many subserbers
It is always a pleasure to us to know that the home-paper is ap
preciated.
And finally we would express our appreciation to the judges
Messrs. Paul Coates, R. N. Creech and Ulric Snell who had charge
of the final summing up of the votes, and also to the campaign
manager, Mr. Williams, who conducted .the campaign ill such a
clean and straightforward manner.
IN CRITICAL CONDITION
Mr. Wm. Dunsford, of town, who
is in ,his 89th year, is in a very
critical condition and is liable to
slip away at any time. He has taken
little or no nourishment for the
past’ week. His son, Mr. Chas.
Dunsford, of Sudbury and wife, vis
ited here during the past week and
expects to return again this week.
