Penultimate MRS. PUTTS KILLED. ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT ADDED TO THE RECORD. Runaway Team of Horses Dashes into Buggy in Which Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Potts Are Driving --Mrs. Potts' Skull Fractured -Inquest Held. The uncertainty of life has been mos strongly impressed upon the citizens of Goderich and vicinity during the past few weeks, and the tragic acci- dent whish befell Mrs. William Potts, of Saltford, last Saturday, when • runaway team threw her out of tier buggy and injured her so that she died a few hours later, is another inci- dent which serves to remind us that man's tenure of life is very frail. Last Sattirley morning Bert. Foster, of Ashfield, brought into town a load of bay for delivery to the MacEwau Estate at the barn on Wolfe street. Assistance was not on hand at the time to help in the work of unloading, so he put bis horses in the stable to feed. Shortly afterwards Bert Mc- Lean arrived with a team belonging to the Messrs. MacEwan (which he says he had driven for the past year and always found quiet), and at was decided that his team should be used to operate the hayfork. About ll:lo o'clock the animals were taken around to the south side of the barn, where they were hitched to the rope to work the fork, and then McLean went tip into the loft of the barn to let 'down the door in the north side, through which the haywas to come in. Foster went up to aist him in letting down the door sod While they were so en- gaged bolted. As there was overtthirty feet of slack tope ly- ing behind them the horses ran some distance before the rope became taut and it then broke about twenty-two feet from the horses. In their mad ruu the animals traceried Angleeea street to Victoria street, where they turned north towards Gloucester ter- race and then on down the hill leading to Saltford. Jost about six rods above the bend in the road they overtook Mr. and Mrs Potts, who were driving in the same direction. William Bogie, of Colborne township, had just made the tura vettis.a load of hay coming up the bill when het sew the runaway team making towards him, and Mr. and Mrs. Potts some distance nearer to the danger than be was. Mr. Bogie only had time to give the warn- ing cry," "Look out, Putts I" and as Mr. Potts turned around the crash came. Both occupants of the buggy were knocked headlong bo the rood. The Potts driver broke away from the rig and in the excitement ran in be- hind Mr. Bogie's team and stood across the toogse. This awkward melee prevented Mr Bogie from attending et once to the aged couple lying on the ground, but in response to his call for assistance men working on the Saltford bridge came and doc- tors were sent for. Mr. Poets was badly shaken up and suffered a severe scalp wound on the right side of the bead. Mrs. Potts was unconscious, but few external injuries were appar- ent. She was removed to her borne, where a closer examination revealed the fact that her skull was badly frac- tured at the base of the brain. She passed away about 9 o'clock in the evening without regaining conscious- ness, death being caused by the frac- ture of the skull associated with con- cussion of the brain. Both of the MacEwan hooses were seriously hurt. On Coroner Hunter's being apprised of the accident and the manner in which it happened an inquest was de- cided upon. A jury was empanelled at the home in Saltfocd on Monday morning and after viewing the re- mains an adjournment was made un- til 7:30 o'clock the same evening for the hearing of evidence. The testi- mony of the different witnesses exam- ined went to show that the horses were always trusted, being left alone frequently while delivering coal about town. There wee nothing to support the idea that any person was culpable in the matter and the jury returned a verdict to the effect that death was dine to an accident and that no blame could be attached to anyone. The jury oousieted of Chas. Hum- ber foreman), A. D. McLean, Gdo. MacS icer, A. J. Cooper, W. Hero, Merry Edwards, F. J. Rutland and John Story. The late Mrs. Potts was a native of eloderich township, being born on the 0th concession seventy-one years ago, in the year 1840. Her maiden name was Matilda and she was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jeines Roes. 0013ERICH MARKETS. b•�b Twtrnsna►, c set. 1 a.h. Kell wheat. per bar.........

Their union was blessed with a family of one son and one daughter : Ahrsbam, who is engaged in the drag business at Dillon, Mon- tana, and Mrs. Zeib, of Deerlodge, in the same State. The son arrived home on Tuesday, but Mrs. Zeib was unable to come. either relatives from a distance who were here for the funeral were Miss Potts, of Lincoln, Nebraska, and Mr. and Mrs. J.

Sudden Death at Buffalo Under Investi- gation Buffalo. N. Y., Oct. 24. -An inquest will be held on the sudden death of Edward Hopper, who died at the home of his brother Lewis at No. 47 Dole street, Sunday morning. The death was so mysterious as to arouse the suspicions of neighbors, who in- formed the police. Deputy Medical Ex- aminer Stocker, who was told about it early yesterday, and who removed the body from the wake house to the morgue, held an autopsy, and found that the man had died from hemor- rhage of the brain. The date for the inquest will probably be set today by Judge Maul when the case is brought into city court. If the court should find enough evidence to make a case against Lewis Hopper be will be bound over to the grand jury. Edward Hopper was formerly a resi- dent of Goderich, and later of London and Hamilton, Ont, The man was known to have $1,200 in the Erie County Savings Bank, as well as property in Glenwood, N. Y. He came to live with his brother Lewis in May, having been discharged from the Buffalo State Hospital. As far as was seen by the neighbors the man appeared to he in good health. Last Friday, after going to the law of- fice of Alonzo G. Hinkley with his brother Lewis, to arrange for proceed- ings against the Erie County Savings Bank. which refused to turn over his money without the bank hook, which he had lost, Hopper fell in Dole street on the way home. Hi.- brother Lewis picked him up and was dragging him to the house when Mrs. Wilson, of No. 13 Lester street, met them. Hopper had a gash in his face which hie brother maid had been caused by his Pale but Mrs. Wil- son said that at the time Hopper had appealed to her and said that his brother Lewis was going to kill him and take his money. When tbe crepe appeared on the door on Sunday, Mrs. Wilson became suspicions and rre- ported the matter to the police. Inspector Taylor and Detective Ser- geant Murray, after taking statements from several witnesses and the brother, Lewis Hopper, let the latter go, and they found no case against him. The appearance of a will in the case, whisth Lewis Hopper asserts was drawn up at his brother's bedside when the latter was dying, and which wills all the man's money and prop- erty to himself, was the subject. of In- quiry by the police. The wil reads : "Oct. 22, 1911.-I, Edward Hopper, give to my brother, L. I. Hopper, my money in the bank and property at Glenwood, N. Y. -Edward Hopper (his X mark)." This signature, Lewis says, he wrote. Under the signature is a cross which Lewis asserts his brother made as he was dying, being too weak to write his name. Beside the cross are the word., "his mark." The witnesses whose names ,are signed are L. I. Ho pper, Robert Dolsloff, Hopper's son-in-law ; Mabel C. Dolsloff, his wife, who is Hopper's daughter, and Lillie M. Lloyd, Lewis Hopper's housekeeper. The crows is marked in zigzag fashion, conveying the impression that it was signed by a weak hand. Will and Cross Suspicious. in speaking of the case yesterday a police official seed: "The will, of course, is not worth the paper it is written on. We learned that Hopper, mother and father are living in Can- ada and there was vague information in reeardto a wife with whom he bean t lived for years. Naturally if the wife is found, the money and property will go to her. and if she is dead it will go to Hopper's parents in Canada." Deputy Medical Examiner Stocker said that the hemorrhage which caused death might have been caused by the fall or might have been brought about by great fright, . Edward Hopper is well known to a number in Goderich, although he has not been a resident here for a number of years. He visited at the old home on Warren street for over two months this summer, during which time his health wa not of the hest. His mother still lives here and Mrs. (Capt.) Alex. McLean and Mrs. Win.

In An Open Boat for Eighteen Hours in a Big Gale, After Abandoning Their Waterlogged Vessel -Landing Ef- fected near Sheppardton Monday Morning. To cross Lake Huron in a sixteen - foot yawl and to be exposed to the elements for nearly nineteen hours while the waves rolled about them rnodntains high is an experience of few who survive and are privileged to relate their adventures 7 yet this was the experience of the crew of the ill- fated schooner Azov, which water- logged and capsized about twenty miles east by north of Point Aux Barques on Like Huron last Sunday afternoon. After an unsuccesstulat- tempt to reach the west shore, the wind drove the boat and its six occu- pants eastward and after weathering the gale until 11 o'clock Monday morn- ing a landing was effected at Shep- pardton, eight miles above Goderich. The Azov hal a crew of six on board : Captain John McDonald, Dan McDonald, mate, and Norman McIver, Henry Kemp, W. Swale and Miss Etta McDonald. the cook. They left Meldrum Bay on Friday with a cargo ..f heavy lumber and shingles and until Sunday they were favored with fair weather. Early that day a hurricane sprang up and by noon the boat bad sprung a leak. The pumps were set to work immediately, but in spite of the strenuous efforts of the crew the vessel began to settle, the rough sea shipping over her bows and getting into her forward hatch. When the water reached the cabin the boat. was lowered and after the greatest difficulty bad been experi- enced the shipwrecked party got safe- ly into the boat. There was no time to secure any provisions and Miss Mc- Donald was unable to get any sea- going apparel. The compass, two pails for baling purposes and a lan- tern were the only articles, but very essential ones, which were secured. The lantern. however, they were un- able to Might, owing to the soaked con- dition oT all the material. A few moments after the party pulledaway from the schooner It keeled over, and it is believed it began to go to pieces shortly afterwards. After a vain effort had been made to make the west shore, the tempest( blew the boat in an easterly direction,, and after a journey of between fifty- five and silty miles land was reached at a point eight, miles north of Gode- rich, near Bheppardton, on Monday morning at 11 o'clock. The experiences of the little party during their eighteen hours' exposure to the elements will live long in their memories. The fight against drowsi- ness which threatened to overcome the whole party as the result of the wet and cold made tbe handling of the boat still more difficult than under or- dinary weather conditions. Many times the boat was half filled with water and had it not been for the heroic efforts of his crew, the captain declares, a different istory .would be told. The crew are just as sincere in their statements that it was the ex- pert handling of the boat by their cap- tain that brought them safely to land. it was with thankful hearts that the landing was made cloee to the home of Michael Carney at Sheppardton, where everything possible was done to relieve the distress of the sufferers. Miss McDonald was so utterly ex- hausted that she had to be carried from the boat to Mr. Carney's home. The other members of the party, with the exception of W. Smale, whose home is at Port Albert, arrived in Goderich on Tuesday evening, bringine the first news of the disaster. Miss McDonald arrived home the fol- lowing day and, although still feeling the effects of her experience, she is re- covering speedily from her long ex- posure. The Azov was one of the oldest ves- sels on the Great Lake.. it was re- built by the present owner some years ego and only recently it was in the drydock at Sarnia, where It had un- dergone extensive repairs, and was in better shape when wrecked than it had been for some time. The lose is a heavy one for Mr. McDonald, who was the owner as well as the captain of the boat. The suggestions has been made, and has met with favor, that steps should he taken to submit the case of Capt. MacDonald to the Carnegie Hero Com- mission. The Captain made a mag- nificent fight for the lives of the crew of his boat. The wrecked vessel was sighted about five miles off Kincardine on Wednesday morning. The tug Mc- Gaw went out from that port in a heavy sea and got a line on the dere- lict.. She would not answer the helm and the line parted. The schooner when abandoned by the tug was still floating north. Arrangements are pending between the owners and a wrecking firm of Sarnia to locate the craft and tow it to port, providing (ate damage to the boat is not too exten- sive J T. CURRiE iN THE NORTH.
