Clinton Lawyer Has Leg Crushed in Collision— A traffic accident iu which eight cars were involved and in which Frank Fingland, K.C., Clintons barrio' ter, suffered a crushed and broken right leg, occurred at 2 p,nt, Saturday of No. 4 highway, two miles south of Clinton. The trouble originated in a three -car tangle at a- point where the prevailing northwest wind had blown a drift into the highway cut, narrowing the roadway. They were owned and driven by R, A. Crawford, Exeter; a car dealer of London, and Thomas Small, Hensall. The. first two had been in collision and were stalled when the third piled into. them, drifting snow making visibility almost zero. Five cars owned and driven by H. C, Lawson, E. A.

On ar- riving at the point opposite J. R. Pdonssteel's residence where the high- way was obstructed the first three ears made a safe stop. The fourth and fifth cars were some distance be- hind, and the drifting snow having iu- creased in volume malting visibility very poor, Mr. Fingland stepped out of his car. He was trying to signal the oncoming cats and was unseen by the drivers, The cars swerved in the impact and Mr. Fingland was caught between the bumpers of the two cars, The Fingland, Brown and Garon cat's were extensively damaged. El- mer Colquhoun, father of K. Colqu- hottn, one of the players, received a severe forehead laceration 'when thrown against the windshield of the car in which he was riding as a front seat passenger. Mr. Fingland was rushed to the hospital where it was tound on examination that amputa- tion of the leg at the knee, as at first feared, would not be necessary. The cars -with the hockey players return- ed home. A carload of fans who had started away earlier had gone past the scene of the accident before the blockade occurred, and were at the St. Thomas rink before they learned of the accident.'
