EXETER MAN IN DANGER
OF LOSING BAIL
Posted $200 For American Girl Who
Failed to Appear
(London Advertiser)
An Exeter man, whose name the
police are withholding for the pres
ent, stands in"danger of losing $200
bail money he posted almost three
years ago for the court appearance
of an American girl because she has
failed to answer the charge.
The name of Miss -Margaret Dun
lop, once of Flint, Mich., whose
present address is not known, was
called in Magistrate E. .S. Liver
more’s court by Traffic Officer Jack
Whitty, who laid the old charge, but
she again failed to answer. Instead
of ordering the ball estreated at
once, the court ■ permitted an ad
journment until Wednesday so a cer
tificate of service on Miss Dunolp
may be filed.
The Lxeter man merely -put up
the bail for the young la-dy as a
friend in 1932 when she was charg
ed with reckless 'driving, fol
lowing an accident near Diginfield
in which her car was involved. Al
though allegedly summoned to ap
pear, Miss Dunlop failed to do SO.

With her scalp almost torn from
her head and with her body bruised
and bleeding Mrs. John Stewart, of
Usborne, phoned for medical assis
tance following an accident at her
home Friday evening. Mr. Stewart

operates a farm on the N- E. Bound

farm on the boundary.

meals for the threshers,
driven home in an auto after supper
and had parked the car on the drive
way close to the house. She had
gone to the barn and tied up the
cows and returning she had taken
some things from the car into the
house. With the last load she was
carrying some dishes. There is a
rather steep grade at the spot and
as Mrs. Stewart passed in .front of
the car the car started forward and
knocked her down. She was drag
ged about fifteen yards when the
car struck the corner post of a gate
way. Mrs. Stewart’s head was ram
med between two cross pieces of the
fence and the scalp was badly lacer
ated. She managed to free her
head and one of the wheels of the
car still rested on her foot which she
freed with difficulty. With blood
streaming from her wounds Mrs.
Stewart reached the house and phon
ed for Dr. Dunlop and also' to one
of her neighbors. She told of her
accident to the operator while the call was being put through in case *
she would collapse in the meantime.
Dr. Dunlop was making a call in the
neighborhood. He was soon located
and was informed by Mrs1. Stewart
of the accident. Arriving on
spot with no other person
home Mrs. Stewart directed the doc
tor where he might find articles that
were needed. Without an anesthetic
and with only local stimulants Mrs.
Stewart bore up most heroically for
over an hour and a half while Dr.
Dunlop dTCesed the wounds putting
in over one hundred stitches. in

ear was almost severed. The body .
was badly bruised In places. In
