Virginia, in an auto accident at Kippen on Aug- ust 9th, was held in the town hall, Seaforth, on 'Tuesday afternoon, "We unanimously agree that Mabel Ritter came to her death in a car driv- en by Mr. Stillwell on August 9th on Highway, No, 4, at Kippen, Ont., and we attach no blame to anyone." D•r, F. J. Burrows, coroner, presided over the inquest and Crown Attorney D: E. Holmes, of Goderi,ch, examined the witnesses. The members of the jury were: James McClyoiont, foreman; Thomas Butt, W. E. Butt, Wesley French. W. T. Kyle, R J,• Cooper, Emerson Kyle, Clifford Watson. According to the evidence, the acci- dent occurred as Stillman, his wife and nine-year-old daughter, accomp- anied hy their niece were returning to their Colunnbns, Ohio. Monne when the car suddenlyrar front the rr,ad and crashed into a tree. The Rater girl was instantly killed .?file the other occupants were aerionely injured. Mrs. Stillwell le still 'a patient at Scott Me- morial hospital Seaforth, and )Jr. Stillwell has not completely recover- ed front his injuries. The only eyewitnesses to the trag- edy were Ernest Axcei. 644 California avenue, Windsor, and Mile Laure. I'atterson, also of Windsor. who was ,. passenger in Axon's car. He des- cribed seeing the car approaching hint from the north and it curved across the road in front of him and went into the ditch on the east side of the road before he passed it and went along nntil it crashed into a tree. He could see no reason for the car turning off. Mr. Axon said he returned and ran to the smashed car where he found Stillwell in an apparently dazed con- dition and unable to talk intelligently. There was no other traffic on , the highway at the time of the accident and the day was clear, bright and hot. the witness said Mrs Patterson cor- roborated Mr. Axon's s testimony. K. B. Streets, Clinton, told of hav- ing been in a garage opposite the scene of the accident and hearing a noise like a fender scraping a wire fence, followed by a crash. He ran over and found the front door of the car open on the right hand side and a little girl lying in the 'grass beside it. She was dead. Both rear doors were jammed. 'The driver was still behind the wheel. Mir. R. F. Stillwell, who is a com- bustion engineer of Columbus, Ohio, and driver of the car, testified that with his wife and daughter and niece, he had been on a camping trip through Michigan. They had spent two days in Ontario, crossing' at Sar- nia and conning to Goderich where they stayed at a' summer hotel. He did not remember what had happen- ed. He was driving down the high- way and it was quite warm. The little girls were playing with their dolls. He thought his wife was reading a magazine 'in the back seat. The next thing he remembered he was sitting in a strange yard and his face was covered with blood. In reply to a question, he said he might have fainted. His health prior to the accident was good. He had been examined for life insurance •two weeks previously and had 'been pronounced o.k. Coroner Burrows suggested that the inquest could be adjourned to the hospital to take evidence from. Mrs. Stillwell :but the jury thought it not necessary. Provincial Traffic Officer William Robinson described the course of the Stillwell car after it left the road until it hit the tree, a distance of 216151 feet. He could not estimate the speed of the car because there were no 'brake marks, but agreed with the crown at- torney that it must have been travel- ing at least 30 miles per hour to pro- duce the damage that was done, Dr. D. G. Steer of Hensall, who was called to the scene, attributed death to s'ku'll fracture, W. L. ,liellis, Kippen blacksmith, and Edgar Mous- seau, Kippen garageman, also told -of the accident which occurred across the road from their shops, PUPILS SUCCESSFUL The i, tering 1'•ii of St. juseph's 'ntvent.

From Port Huron I travelled over Nu. 25 to Mount Ce :urns, then over '5'9 to Pontiac, tow next stopping place, Thisis very. innc?-„imilar to the country already traversed in Ontario with a similar variety of grains. From Pontiac to Detroit gni No. 214 and No, 112 to Somerset.

A.. down through the western portico of the State of Ohio. Here the principal crops are corn, wheat, oats clovers, various varieties of beans, sugar beets, tomatoes, and as one nears the southern part, of this state, tobacco seems to be one of their principal products, all of which scents to be a wonderful crop. The country is mostly level anti: within about 25 miles of Cincinnati where it becomes very hilly. In Cin- cinnati I had the pleasure of visiting a young man who was raised from childlteod in the Children's Hone at !)s.unhin, lian., operated by my late wife and myself. This lad is married and has two very fine children, his .rife hefng a native of the state of Iden.ncky. While here there was a re -union of 'her people in which I was invited to take part. The re - anion was in the forst of a picnic on the bank of a creek known as "Dan- iel Boon's Creek," situated a little over 1'00 miles south of Cincinnati in Ken- tucky. This was on Sunday, Aug. 21,st. I being their guest, had one of the best times of sty' life and more than enjoyed their southern hospital- ity, fried chicken, rice, sweet potatoes, and everything necessary for such an occasion in abundance. Here I was in- vited to remain over night and par- take further of their hospitality. This I did and the following morning com- menced mty journey farther south- ward. In costing 'front 'Cincinnati to Boon': Creek .1 passed through what is known as the very best tobacco country in America and I believe it, as I never did see such crops of to- baceo. It is about as nice a country as I ever traversed'. 'Not only does it grow good tobacco, but oh, you should see the corn fields, too.
