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. ------o-o* 0----- Next year a new law will be in force in Ontario with some new re­ strictions against excessive speed, in­ cluding jail sentences.

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.— Guelph Mercury. -----0-0------J ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED Mr. and Mrs. W.

The town of Goderich is up against the problem of obtaining a better supply of water for domestic use. It was expected that the necessary sup­ ply would be obtained from wells but this has proved impracticable as the w’ater in the well put down proved to be charged with salt. The town will now extend the intake pipe fur­ ther into the lake, an undertaking which will cost about $75,000.

Logical Brand Coats and Suits 1^- 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.” MUNN’S 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 i it Save X to X Your Corn You lose from to the food value of your corn by feeding it to your cattle as dry fodder.

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.
