Hist. 3rd., 2nd., Alg. 1st., Two young men from London were killed in an auto accident on the Crediton road about a mile west of the Highway, the accident taking place during the early hours of Sun­ day morning while the party were on their way to Grand Bend. A third is in St. Joseph’s Hospital, London, suffering from injuries. The dead are: William Lamphier, aged 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Lamphier and Norman Beattie, 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Beattie, all of London. The youth in hospital is Colin. -Simpson, 20-year-old mechanic, son of Mr, and Mrs. Vincent Simpson, of Maitland street. He has deep cuts on one leg and a cut on his neck and is suffering from shock but according to Dr, H. O. Fpucar his condition is good and is expect­ ed to recover. The three youths were going Grand Bend for the week-end a roadster owned Lamphier. On the Grand Bend, about of No, 4 highway, horse and buggy driven by Harry Bowden, of Centralia. Apparently they did not see the buggy until they were close upon it and swung the car violently to the left to avoid it, going into the ditch on the south side of the gravel road. Then the car climb­ ed back out of the ditch but went out of control as the driver again swerved violently to 'avoid the op­ posite ditch. It rolled over, coming to rest on its top, crosswise on the road. The two youths who are dead were riding in the front seat and were pitched out, Simpson, who was asleep, crouched in the rear com­ partment of the roadster which did not have a rumble seat, and remain­ ed with the car, was able to clamb­ er out after the crash. Lamphier was thrown out and found lying on the roadway a few feet east of the car, and Beattie was found in the ditch on the north side of the road. Beattie died in ambulance at Clandeboye while be­ ing taken to St, Joseph’s Hospital, and Lamphier died in hospital at about 6.50 a.m. Sunday. He was badly crushed and suffered head and chest injuries, to have died failure. Mr. Bowden his wife with old baby in her arms, was not frightened by the crash and he and his family escaped injury. He immediately drove to a near­ by farm house to call a doctor and assistance. Dr, C, C, Misener, of Crediton and and Dr. M. C. Fletcher, of Exeter, at­ tended at the scene and Mr. R. N. Rowe’s ambulance was called to take the injured to hospital in London. Gounty Constable John Ferguson, of Exeter, and Traffic Officer Nor­ man Lever, of Clinton, investigated the crash which occurred on a coun­ ty road. Mr. Ferguson said in his report that the buggy was light. The car must at least twice and times, of the in any The their way to Grand Bend for the week-end, although Mrs. Beattie was staying at Bayfield and they i have been going there. The fact that Colin Simpson sitting or crouched low in the 1 compartment of the roadster, thus protected by the rear of seat when the car overturned, is lieved to have saved his life.

He was taken into custody offering little fuss or resistance, by Deputy-reeve Ed. Lamport. Prov. Traffic Officer Ro­ binson brought the wanted man to town. A warrant for Jardine’s arrest was issued at Goderich Tuesday of last week on a charge of criminally assaulting the wife of a Stephen township farmer, recently married, for whom he worked since April ot this year. The entire neighborhood was deeply stirred. Provincial and County police and a posse of farmers after the warrant was issued joined in an all-day and all-night search of the bush land about three miles west of town. It is swampy land in which one could easily hide. The men were badly mosquito-bitten during the search. The search has been kept up during the week and num­ erous clues have been run down. At the time of the arrest County Constable John Ferguson and Con­ stable Jack Norry had. been called to Ailsa Craig as a stranger had been seen in that vicinity. They were re­ turning by Mt. Carmel when d-ine was picked up. Jardine was first sighted by Albert Keyes as he came out bush near her home in the morning. She telephoned to the home of De­ puty-reeve Lamport them of his presence borhood. Later as Miss Ruth cutting the lawn Jardine approached and asked the road the meantime Mrs. called her husband, ing at the back of Lamport got his car Jardine to ride with him to Cred­ iton. Mr. Lamport was speeding along with the wanted man beside him when he lost control of the car and it upset in the ditch rolling over twice. Neither of the men were in­ jured and they continued on foot to the farm of Russell Webb where threshing operations were under way and a hydro gang working. At the Webb farm Jardine was advised that he was being held for police and a ( call was put through to Exeter. Traf- fiv Officer Robinson and Frank Tay­ lor motored out and dine im Jardine said he had ten days in bushlands as far as Ridgetown and back gain. Jardine is an ex-convict having been released from Kingston last October where he served a ten-year term for a serious offence? 60, was placed under arrest brought to Exeter.
