Brantford Expositor:—Accidental death with no blame attached to any person or persons was the verdict returned by the coroner's jury in- vestigating the death of William 11. Pryne, 189 Chatham street, who died in Brantford General hospital last Sunday night following injuries re- ceived on the Brantford -Hamilton highway near Mohawk Park, five Lours before. Pryne, who was 78 years of age was struck by an automobile driven. by Harvey Shafer, Osego, Mich., as he crossed the highway near Mohawk Park. Coroner Dr. 0. C. Dinniwell presided at the inquest, High County Constable Blakney empaneling the jury. Crown Attorney W. M. Charl- ton, officiated for the department. Dr. James Carson, attended Idr. Pryne at about 3.30 o'clock on Sun- day afternoon on the verandah of Robert Lindsay's hone, Echo Place. Fractures of a Ieg were found to have been sustained, Dr. Carson ordered him taken to the hospital. The heart's condition was not good, said the physician. "What was the direct cause of death?" asked the Crown Attorney. "Shock. The man's age was a- gainst him also, although his injuries contributed." A witness of the accident, Arthur T. Simmons, Echo Place, was driving west in his car, when he perceived Mr, Pryne in the middle of the high- way. Traffic from the west was particularly heavy, witness said. "Did Mr. Pryne watch the traffic?" "Yes he looked to the east and the west, but the accident had happened before I drove to the immediate scene." "Did he see the car that hit him?" "Yes." "Then What did he do?" "He quickened his pace." "Could the driver of the Michigan ear see Mr. Pryne?" "I believe he could have." "What do you think was respore bible for the accident?" "It was apparently unavoidable." Witness declared that the Michigan car struck the unfortunate man near the region of his knees and that the man fell with his feet beneath the car. "Then your theory is that he walk- ed directly into the path of the car?" "Yes. There seemed to be room for everything on the road, and even for Mr, Pryne to have waited in the centre of the road until traffic pass- ed." Mrs. Simmons, wife of the pre- vious witness, corroborated the evi- dence given by her husband, but add- ed that the deceased had waited un- til one car passed and had then pro• eeecled rightht into o the path of thec automobile. The fourth witness, Ruse Simmons, daughter of the two witnesses, who had already given evidence had little to add to the testimony already ob- tained. 'The American car, driven by INGHAM 111 Monumental '12'''WORKS Has a large and complete stock of Family Memorials in newest designs at very reasonable ,prices, Gall and see lis before plac- ing your order, R.

Reilly arrived on the scene at about 2.20 o'clock the ef- ter'noon of the tragedy, a few min- utes after the accident, and believed Mr. Shafer had done everythipg to avoid the accident. There were no skid marks on the pavement, wit- ness said, and added that he was fair - 1y sure that Mr. Shafer was not driving his car at an excessive speed, being under 25 miles an hour. Clinton Softball Team Wins Huron Trophy Clinton, Aug. 22—Clinton Wesley Willis' men's softball team won the trophy 'for the Huron County Pres- bytery series here this afternoon in; the annual softball tournament, while the Brucefield girls, by defeat- , ing Gerrie 22 to 14, won the girls' cup for the second year in succession The Exeter girls failed to appear, so only one girls' game was played.

In I the final game Clinton defeated Wroxeter, chiefly" through splendid hurling by Bob.' Carrick, by 8 to 5.

Milverton Station Is Destroyed Milverton, Aug. 23.- -The C. N. 11. station here was burned to the ; ground in an early morning fire to- , day resulting in a loss of about $2,000. Although the building, a frame one, was totally destroyed, and the telephone and telegraph wires to Milverton rendered useless there was little or no baggage lost, ' � A. temporary station will be ready for service to -morrow morning. Although the origin of the blaze is not known definitely, the opinion , expressed by C. N. R. officials this morning was that the building was I struck by lightning during the thun- der storm which visited the district. The fire was noticed at about six o'clock by •E. Siegner, whose resi- dence is near the station. Mr. Sieg- ner gave the alarm, and the Milver- ton fire department arrived on the scene but could do little to cheek the blaze, as they had no means of obtaining water for their nose lines. Although the windows of the near- by houses were broken by the heat, till the buildings around the station were saved by a bucket brigade which was orgainzed°rby the crowd whittlh gathered. Two box miss on a siding were pushed out of reach of f o the e flames• onef t two eh t vo had caught fire, g but the flames were ex- tinguished cad the car saved. It is not known at present what time what .type of station will be built by the C. N. R. to replace the one destroyed by 'the fire, as the matter must pass through C. N, R. headquarters.

The t lilac who drove and :rode seorea of homes thousands of utiles over good a xo+acts and bad, in fan weather and foul, fought a gallant fight for life a ig:inat a 1'ne to whom victory was inevitable, and before he died he , made special provision, that his fav- orite horse, Rase, the big sorrel mare who has led many a Saskatoon par- ole, and on whom many learned to ride, be given a,.home for life, and that her death be painless when old age makes her helpless. Fifty-three year of age, Barry Neable was born on a farm in Grey townehip,p Ontario on December 14, 1876, the son of - the late Conrad Neabel and Regina Mehring, who is still living in On- tario, at the age of 80, with her younger son, Conrad. Always a 'lover of horses, 1!e came early to the West, and for a number of years drove s from Willoughby's barn, at Neepawa, Man, Twenty-three years ago he came to Saskatoon, and ultimately I took up the Starland barn on Second Avenue, ebeuth, where he held forth until sickness took him to hospital a second time not many months ago. A survivor of the age when men thought nothing of a 50 -mile drive in an open cutter in 50 -below wea- ther, Harry Neabel stayed with hor- ses all his life. At one period he was a notable driver on Saskatche- ' wan harness tracks, the nnu•e Minim 1 Pointer •being a winner in many events. Even in a day when auto- mobiles have replaced the horse, the old-timer kept as many as twelve or fifteen saddle and driving horses busy, and, particularly in winter round again after sufi'ering from an attack of pleurisy.

Until three years ago, when illness, an illness which puzzled a man who "had never been sick a day in his life," overtook hint, Harry, mounted on Johnny, or some other favorite cow pony, was a fam- iliar figure, herding eattle through the city for local drovers, a task which he always preferred to under. take alone, even when his route took him over such a thoroughfare as the Traffic Bridge. And when illness kept him from the seddle, there was no rattle herding, for in this district the truck has replaced the rider with his bull -whip and rope. As kindly to his fellow man, as to his horses Harry staked many a luckless one to a meal and his gruff "that's all right fel low," will be remembered as a bene- diction by not a few who have been through tough days.
