Is Dead After Accident
SOUTH HURON M!EM.BE'R DIF15
IN, CLINTON HOSPITAL AF-
TER BEING STRUCK BY A
COLT
ATh!onias \Icllillan, MT, for South
Heron, died early Tuesday morning
in Clinton Hospital, as the result of
injuries received the previous morn-
ing when struok in the abdomen by
a colt on his farm in Hullett Town
ship, News of Mr. M•eMillan`s sud
den death was received with deepest
regret by the people of this constitu-:
ency, S!quth Huron, which he'had' rep-
resented since 1925.
.1I'he accident occurred atthe part
of his farm known. as John M'cMil-
Ian's farm, jetst west of the late mem-
b'er's home, the house of which is at
present unoccupied, Mr. McMillan
had Three colts in that barn, and' had
phoned Dr. Harburn, veterinary • of
Seaforth., to call. In the meantime he
'had commenced paving the feet of the
colts with the assistance o'f one af
the two Allen boys, who with their
father have been. managing the farm
this .spring. The first colt became un-
ruly; although held by a `twitch" and
plunged forward with its front feet,
knocking Glen Allen into the manger
and Mr. McMillan was thrown on the
Ha:or, but was able to crawl out on
his hands and. knees. Apparently he
did not consider his injuries serious
because he seelm!s to have continue
with the work 'on the first colt an
also finished the second one.
When Dr. H'anburn arrived' ten or
fifteen: minutes later he found Mr.
McMillan sitting on the edge of the
water trough, looking pale and un-
well, and inquired, "How are you .to-
day, Tom?"
Mr. McMillan told of the accident,
but with his characteristic in'domi'table
spirit, insisted he had suffered no in-
jury, and they set to work again, al-
though advised to- call a medical
doctor'as• the injuries might be seri-
ous. In a very few minutes lie' felt an
in'di'sposition and was again advised
to get medical advice. This time he.
consented. He lay down on the hay
with his feet up to relieve numbness
Frani the injury. Dr. Harburn then
went into the house, which still had
the telephone connected, though un-
occupied, and phoned to Dr..Gan•dier.
at Clinton, and also to Miss Margaret
McMillan at home, .both of whom
soon arrived. Dr, Gaudier found no
visible injuries, but internal . injury
was suspected, as by that time Mr.
McMillan stiffened intense pain when
assisted to his.feet,
iHe was given an opiate to relieve
the suffering and was taken. to Clin-
ton hospital by Dr. Gandier, accom-
panied by his daughter and Dr. Har-
burn. In the evening an operation
was performed, but from the nature
of injuries hope for his recovery was
abandoned, and, he passed away the
fallowing , morning.
The funeral takes place from his
late residence, Lot 2, Concession 5,
Hnillebt Township, on Thursday,
June 9th, at 2 p.m. to the place of in-
terment in Maitland. Bank Cemetery.
The',funeral eral will be under auspices ,of
Britannia Masonic Lodge of which he
was a life member and a Past Mas-
ter. He was born March 18, 1864.
Mr. Rabt.' McMillan of town is a
brother.
An intimate pen picture of the life
of Thomas McMillan, : and alsohis
father Jahn McMillan is given in a re-
cent tribute by the Hon. Duncan Mar-
shall, which we reproduce below:
.Length of tenure on British farms
has helped to establish a pride in agri-
culture in the home land that, has done
much for its success and .permanency.
How often .is it told that this is the
third or foiart'h generation o'f the same;
people on some farm.
In the same manner the breeding of
high class live stock is handed on
from father to son, sometimes for se-
veral generations, and studs` and
herds and flocks have ,been built mp
and the work carried • forward,' `by
son's and grandsons, each one endeav-
'oring to add something to the snot-
ess!fu1 achievements of his ancestors.
Titis pride in the laird has been one of
!England's and Scotlatid;s greatest ag-
ri,ctiltural assets.
!When otte visits a crafter district in
Scotland and sees the struggle made
for possession or 'tenure of a bit of
land, that may, he far from product-'
ive, he realizes the landhunger than
mals made these people 'such splendid
settlers in a new country where they
can obtain farms of their own. Once
having secured , ownership in land
these people have been very loath to
part with it.
One strength of Ontario agriculture
is the tenacity with which families
cling to the ..arms their forbears lit-
erally hewed out of the forests' that
once so thickly covered the province,
The task of making a 'mime by the re-
moval of the timber in the Queen's
bush, was one not to be lightly under
-
taken, and required courage and in-
dustry such as is only found in the
hearts and lives' Of real pioneers. Af-
terkwa'rds, the keeping of these cleared
fields andco!mlfort'able homes in the
16atnliy •name is well worth while.

LEADER'S TRIBUTE
Ottawa, June 7. -"The death of
Thomas McMillan," said Right Hon.
M'aoketizie King, leader of the Liber-
al panty 'mean's to me holt only the
loss af a most loyal and devoted sup-
porter, but one who for years hasbeen the closest and most' intimate of
friends."
"In the passing. of Mr. McMillan,"
added Mr. King, ."our country loses
one of the best of its represen'tative!s
in the House of Commons. There is
tedt a member of Parliament who
shared Mr. Meadillan's acquaintance,
however lightly, but will experience a
feeling of personal .sorrow in learning
of his sudden and tragic death. To
the Liberal party and its causes his
less will he irreparable.
"Mr. McMillan, like his father be-
fore hili, was an ardent advocate of
the rights of the people, and particul-
arly those of the rural population,'
with whose pursuits his ;life was so
closely identified. 'He was a man pos-
sessed of deep convictions and of the
highest integrity. Its his. daily • con
duet and his public utterances these
qualities _ were ever present.- dlor the
right as he saw dt, if the occasion de-
manded, no sacrifice was too great.
He was the soul of honor in his per-
sonal and public relations, and fidelity
was with him a watchword in bhe dis-
charge of his public duties.
"In other lands and at other times
Mr. Mcl'I'illan's mane -would have
found Its place on the honor roll df
those sturdy yeomen who are the
'bulwark of a country's -,freedom.' ,Lt

GARDEN DAMAGED BY. RAtBBIT
Egntondville has its crack shots, no,
less than Seaforth. Ou. Friday last a.
cottontail rab'b'it nibbled off a whole:
ro;w of tender young beet tops in the:
garden Of Mrs. Reinke and Miss.
Toms. All owners o'f gardens in the'
neighborhood feared further depreda-
tions, so Mr. Janes Hays unpacked
his .22 rifle from its case, oiled and
assentlbled it ((which shows that this
feat' was penformed without any prac-
tice) and went in search of the mar-
auder. When he got to the garden the
rabbit could not be seen at first. Fin-
ally watchers from a window spied it..
It was scampering through the side._
fence away over into Mr. Harvey:
Johns' place, lir, Hays says he figur-
ed that if he didn't shoot then to
slight not get another chance, . so
hastily fared. The rabbit tumbled.
head aver heels, the bullet entering-,
at the shoulder and passing cleans.
through. The rabbit could not have.:
been more surprised thanhe was, Mr..
Hays declares:. But jun's•maey-friends-
have always known Iiim dos' a=.
"straight -shooter."
