Usborne Man Killed in
New Ontario
The daily papers of Saturday con-

Percy l'arkinson, son of Mrs. Parkin-
son. %rho lives a few miles south of
Elimville, by a man named Walter
Ross nt Englehart. Ontario. on De-

about 26 years of age, left his home
in Usborne n year ago last October
to go to Cobalt as prospector, and
