THE ACCIDENT TO DR. SCOTT,
OF SE?FORTH
(Brussels Post)
In the much to be regretted acci
dent last Friday afternoon that oc
curred near the culvert on the gravel
road about 2 miles south of Brussels,
resulting in the death of Dr. Scott,
the veteran medico of Seaforth, the
miracle was that fatal results were
not more. The Northbound car had
as its occupants Kaiph and Mrs.
Workman, Miss Florence Omstead,
the latter’s 3-year-old neice, Helen
Fitch, all of Flint, Mich., and Mrs.
Wm. Butt and son, John, Seaforth.
The driver saw the car standing, well
in the centre of the road, and was
slowing down to meet it, as roadway
is somewhat narrow at the culvert.
When within about 10 feet he saw a
man step from behind the standing
car. Brakes were at once applied and
the car diverted toward the ditch so
as to miss the man, who proved to be
Dr. Scott, Seaforth. It was too late,
however, and the Dr. wras thrown to
the road and at the same time Mr.
Workman’s car went into an 8 or 10-
foot ditch, turning turtle in its course.
There was a scramble to extricate
themselves, as there was about 2 feet
of water in the ditch. Fortunately,
none of the 6 occupants were serious
ly injured and were taken to Brus
sels, where they were intending to
take supper with Harold and Mrs.
Bolger, (the latter being a sister of
Mr. Workman) and a doctor was call
ed. Their miraculous escape is credit
ed to the fact that the car—a new
Durrant No. 6—is fitted with a solid
wooden top and so well did the auto
come through the upset that, on being
hauled out of the ditch, it made the
trip to Brussels with its own power,
a bent fender, broken top, and smash
ed wind-shield being the chief dam
ages. Miss Omstead, who was riding
in the front seat, fared the worst of
the party, having an injured knee,
some cuts and bruises from flying
glass, &c. The child was rescued from
her unexpected bath none the worse.
Of course, the nervous shock and the
sad news of the serious injury to Dr.
Scott unnerved the party, in addition
to the unceremonious shake-up. They
left for their home Monday morning.
COUNTY CONSTABLE BRIGGS
DROPS DEAD AT WALKERTON
(Bruce Herald and Times)
Mr. Ezra Briggs, High County
Constable for Bruce, Division Court-
Bailiff and County Court Crier, drop
ped dead at his home here on Sunday
afternoon about 2 o’clock from heart
trouble in his 80th. year. The deceas
ed, although able to be about, had not
been well since his return a few
weeks ago from a family reunion in
North Dakota, and on the day of his
death had the doctor in a couple of
times treating him for heart trouble.
While tilted back in his chair with
his feet on the window sill looking
out on the street, he was seized with
a cramp in the heart and, tipping
backwards, dropped over dead on the
floor; Born in Albion near Toronto in
1844, the deceased was the e-ldest of
eleven children of the late Rev. and
Mrs. Joseph Briggs. In early child
hood the family moved to Mount
Hope, in Arran Township, where his
father opened the first Methodist
Church in that place. Ezra earty
learned the carriage making and
blacksmithing trade and established
a carriage works at Arkwright. Re
moving to Port Elgin, he conducted a
blacksmithing and carriage works
there for a number of years. Coming
to Walkerton over forty years ago,
he acted as district agent for the Port
Elgin Brush & Broom Works contin
uously until the time of his death.
Shortly after coming here he'received
the appointment of High County
Constable of Bruce, which, with the
exception of a few short intervals, he
continued to fill until the end. He
was also Division Court Bailiff here
for the past sixteen years, and Coun
ty Court Crier for the past ten years.
The deceased had been a Mason since
early manhood and at the time of his
death was one of the oldest Masons
in the distrct. He was married nearly
forty years ago to Miss Elizabeth
Burton, of Port Elgin, who prede
ceased him in 1901. He was later
married to Mrs. Sophia Davis, of
Cleveland, Ohio, who also predeceased
him. He was wedded about fifteen
years ago to Miss Minnie Wilder, of
Bad Axe, Mich., who survives him.
He also leaves two brothers and one
sister, Cyrus and Miss Alma Briggs,
of Hannah, N.D., and Wm. Briggs, of
Vancouver. In his death one of the
best known officials in the district
and a familar figure in Walkerton for
over four decades passes from the
scene. His funeral which took place
on Wednesday afternoon to the Walk
erton Cemetery, was under Masonic
auspices and was largely attended.

A SAGACIOUS DOG
A lady residing on Eramosa Road
who has always had a liking for
dogs, no matter whether they were
of the pedigreed kind or the common
hobo canine, was given somewhat of
a surprise recently when a bull ter
rier whom she had not seen for eight
years, pushed the screen door open
vith his nose and calmly walked in
as if he had never been away. This
dog, which had always been a wan
derer, was at one time mascot of the
•34th. Battery. The battery boys had
every intention of taking it overseas
with them, but for some reason or
other, probably because | the C. O.
wouldn’t stand for it, the'dog did not
go. While in Guelph it often, paid a
visit to the lady who had always been
kind to it, but one day, shortly after
the Battery left, it mysteriously dis
appeared, and had never been seen or
heard of since until it turned up re
cently. The dog was owned by a resi
dent of Morriston, who, about the
time the Battery went overseas, mov
ed to Burk’s Falta, Muskoka, and it
is thought that he tookjthe terrier
with him. If the supposition is cor
rect, the Battery’s former mascot
must have made its way Several hun
dred miles back to the scene of his
former activities, with Nothing to
guide him but an acute! instinct.—

BRUCE COUNTY AND THE WEST
Bruce Cduxrty is planning for a
re-union next yeaij, arid already
Bruce County Old Boys in> the West
are organizing to invade in numbers
the home county. Perhaps no county
in Ontario has sent so many of her
sons West as Bruce. The population
of this country has declined in num
bers in .the last thirty years, but in
doing so it is because her adventure
some sons and daughters have pion
eered Western Canada. Go where one
wishes in the West and one will find
a Bruce County Old Boy who has
success. The Western Legislatures
are filled with former sons of this
county. They have done a real ser
vice to Canada by placing their stamp
on the West in its period of develop
ment. It is impossible to estimate
the leaven the settlers from Western
Ontario have been upon the hetero
geneous mass of immigrants who
have poured into the prairies during
the past three or four decades.
The Manitoba Free Press, discuss
ing the arrangements for the re
union, remarks:
“Others may come, and some
go; but the Bruce Old Boys and
Girls stay on. When they came
flooding into the West 40 or more
years ago, the wonder was how the
Ontario County of Bruce had ever
held them; and having them in
youth, how glad they appeared to
be to get away from those home
spots they are now so anxious to
revere. They have not gathered
themselves in the West in little
groups, by twos and threes, but in
their thousands. They have flour
ished as they have prospered, and
loud has been the voice that has
sent back word of their good for
tunes. Old Bruce is understood to
be preparing for a general re-union
next year, and the boys and girls
who left there when the man tra
velled in the box car with the team
are talking of going back for the
the week. They are enlivening their
organizations in the West. At a
recent meeting of the society at
Edmonton the membership was
understood to exceed a thousand.
Calgary is reported to have almost
the thousand. Vancouver is thought
to have more, judging from the
social gatherings it holds.. Fort
William, Port Arthur have quite
recently formed an association.
Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon—you
can name almost every town and
township in the West; they all have
their Bruce County gatherings.
The Old Boys and Girls are every-r
where in the West. They did not
need' to be told a second time about
a good thing when they first heard
of the Golden West.”

RIPLEY
JUDGMENT IN INTEREST
ING LIQUOR CASE
Wilson Miller, the Saugeen Town
ship farmer on whose premises a
still was found on July 12th., by
Revenue Inspector Sarvis, of Toronto,
License Inspector Jos. M. White, of
Walkerton, and other officers, was
found not guilty of having a still in
his possession by County Magistrate.
This is the first case coming before
the Magistrate where a defendant
was able to disprove possession. Mag
istrate McNab’s judgment which was
given in writing is as follows:—
“This is a complaint under Section
180 Subsection “e” of the Inland
Revenue Act and charges the accused
with having in his possession a still
worm rectifying or other apparatus
or some part or parts thereof suitable
for the manufacture of spirits with
out having given notification and
without having a license under the
said act.
The evidence shows that a com
plete still was found in a portion of
the building that was used by the
accused as a garage or driving-shed.
At the time this still was found the
accused was at or near Lion’s Head,
a considerable distance away from his
home, buying cattle.
The accused is a widower and the
only persons that were living with
him at the time were two of his
brqfhers. One of these brothers was
with the accused buying cattle and
the other, who is somewhat deranged,
was left at home to do the chores.
The accused swears that he had
nothing whatever to do with this still
and that if it was found on his prem
ises it was put there without his
knowledge or consent. His’ brother
also gave evidence to the same effect
and they both swore that they had
been in his garage or driving shed
the evening before they went to buy
cattle and this still was not in then.
Inspector White admitted that he
had never prior to this received any

complaint of any kind against the ac
cused and that the information upon
which this search was made was re
ceived by him in the morning, on
which this search was made and the
accused and his brother were at this
time away and had been away a
couple of days before this buying
cattle.
The building in which the still was
found was right close up to the high
way and was easily accessible to any
person wishing to use it.
I have come to the conclusion that
this still though found on the accus
ed’s premises was not put there by
himself or by anyone on his behalf
and I find that he had no knowledge
or consent that the still was on his
premises.
The mere fact that it was found
there on his premises would be con
structive possession on his part and
the onus would 'be upon him to rebut
this presumption of possession. I feel
that the accused has rebutted this
presumption in this case and I there
fore find that the still was not in his
possession. The complaint will there
fore be dismissed but without costs.
A. E. McNab, Police Magistrate.
CLOSE CALL AT CLINTON J
Elton Rozell, one of the proprietors
of the Clinton Creamery, recently had
*a close call from death by electrocut
ion. Something had gone wrong with
the motor which supplies the plant
with power, and Mr. Rozell went to
the main switch intending to cut off
the current. But the trouble in the
motor head in some way charged the
switch handle, so that on taking hold
of it Mr. Rozell was instantly paral-
ized and unable to let go. Mr. Law-
son, a partner in the business, suc
ceeded in releasing his hand but not
before Rozell became unconscious. He
was thought to be dead, but soon
showed signs of recovery, and though
suffering from the shock, was soon at
work again.
