Seriously Injured.—George Cook, long a respected employee of The Bell Engine & Thresher Co. was taken to the Scott Memorial Hospital on Wed- nesday,afternoon in a critical condi- tion suffering from concussion and hemorrhage of the brain as a result of a serious accident while helping to put a separator into the shop. There vas some obstruction at the wheel and the tongue of the separator threw Mr. Cock down and he struck his head ori the floor. At present hospital authorities report that the condition of Mr. Cook was very grave. Motor Accident.—A rather serious motor accident occurred at the Main Street and Goderich highway on Fri- day afternoon last. A new Ford Vic- toria driven by Mr. R. E. Hutchilisbn, of New Toronto, was travelling east on the highway had just reached Main Street when a large Buick, driven south by a woman from Walkerton, who failed to notice the stop sign, drove directly in front of it, with the result that Mr. Hutchinson crashed head on into the side of the Walker- ton car. A man, who was a passen- ger in the Toronto car, had his head slightly cut but fortunately no other occupants in either car were injured. Both cars, however, were badly dam- aged. Mr. Hutchinson left his car at J. F. Daly's garage, where it was re- paired/. and he came up Tuesday and took it home.

While they were in the house the baby climb- ed on the x'unr>,ing board, on the op- posite side from the house, Obscured from view. Mr. -Baird and his friend cot into 'the eel. and drove off. As they were rounding -the corner, Miss Edna Wolfe, a visitor at the Carrick home, noticed the baby on the run- ning board. She screamed, but the driver did not hear for the noise of the engine. At a point near Price's grocery store another motorist caught up to Mr. Baird to inform him that his child had fallen out of the car. Mr. Baird was surprised. He had no child, nor did he know of any in or on his ear. He turned back to find Mrs. Joshua Thomrts picking up the baby, which had rolled over and over on the pavement. Luckily the auto was not travelling fast at the time. A doctor was called and it was found that the baby's injuries were confined to abrasions of the face and hands and a minor injury to, one foot. No bones were broken. Mrs. Thomas car- ed for the child until relatives, ar- rived."

Successful Music Pupil—Miss Mary Holmes, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Charles Holmes, and a pupil of Miss H. I. Graham, has successfully passed the Introductory Examination at the Toronto Conservatory of Music. Died In Manitoba.—The Southern Manitoba Review, of Cartwright, Man- itoba, makes the following reference to the death of a member of a pioneer family of this district: "Another well known and respected pioneer of Cartwright district passed to his re- ward on Friday evening, • June 19th, in the person of Mr. Samuel McCain Chesney, in his 79th year. - The de- ceased had not enjoyed robust health for a number of years. On Friday forenoon he accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. East to Killarney and the clay was spent there on the lake shore and about the town, returning hone in the evening. Before retiring for the night he had gone out of doors, and when he did not return Mrs. Chesney, in due course, went out and was shocked to find his life- less form. Dr. Davidson was at once summoned and examination revealed the fact that death had resulted from heart seizure. The . funeral took place on Sunday afternoon from the residence to Cartwright United Church, where the Rev. George Lock- hart, of Mather, in the absence of J. Carlyle Parker, delivered the funeral address. In the course of his re- marks Mr. Lockhart paid a fitting tribute to the pioneers of this coun- try, many of whom had come from Old Ontario, and Mr. Chesney was one of these. The church was filled to capacity with friends, many of whom were from surrounding towns. Following the church service the cortege wended its way to Cartwright cemetery where interment was made. Samuel McCain Chesney was born at Seaforth, Ontario, on February 14th, 1853, and was 78 years and four months old. He was the youngest of the family and was its last surviving member. On March 29th, 1893, . he and his devoted wife landed in Cart- wright and have made their home here since. For many years Mr. Chesney owned and operated a half section just south of town, but ev- entually disposed of it. He is sur- vived by his widow, one daughter, Mrs. J. H. Newman, and one son, William J,, both of Cartwright: The sympathy of a wide circle of friends goes out to the bereaved family in the loss of a husband and father."

Pleur- isy was the immediate cause of her death. Mrs. Chesney was the third daughter of the late T0, Forsyth and was born on the Forsyth homestead in Tuckersmith seventy years ago. In August, 1879, she was united in mar- riage to Mr. James H. Chesney and for ten years following her marriage resided on the Kippen Road, on the farm now owned by Mr. J. C. Reinke. They then moved to Hensall, where Mr. Chesney practised as a veterin- ary surgeon until 1914, when they re- moved to Toronto. Since the death of her husband in January, 1923, Mrs. Chesney had spent each summer at the home of her daughter, Mrs, F. W. Treble, at Kelloe. She is survived by a family of four sons and two Mr. H daughters, y ne arr M. C e Chesney, y,f o Tuckersmith; Messrs. Abe and Robert Chesney, of Toronto, and Mr. Garfield Chesney, of Manitoba; Mrs. Hobin, of Toronto, and Mrs.., F. W. Treble, of Kelloe, Manitoba.

M. Grieve, Wil- liam Charters and Ivan Forsyth. EXETER Dr. and Mrs. Steiner had a close call 6n Monday morning on Huron Street, while driving in the heavy rain storm when the car in which they were passengers was struck by an in- coming C. N. R. freight train. The train service had 'been disrupted and not thinking of a train he drove his car on the tracks, when suddenly he saw his danger. The' driver, Dr. Steiner, tried his best to avoid the accident but the cowcatcher caught the rear fender and swung the car sideways, tearing off two fenders, but not overturning the vehicle. Neither the doctor nor Mrs. Steiner were hurt and were able to proceed to Guelph, in another car, where they ' had in- tended going. Those who witnessed the impact, confider this little more than a miracle. Beyond a sever shak- ing up the couple are fine.

Mother and Son Have Narrow Es- cape.—An accident which nearly cost the lives of two residents of Stephen Township occurred recently when Mrs. Frank Triebner and Edward, her eight-year-old son, were attempting to bring in from the field e cow which had given birth to twin calves. The animal, it •s thought, crazed by the intense heat. and her condition, fear- ing that the little boy would injure her offspring, suddenly sprang for- ward, knocking the boy down and trampling him under foot, lacerating him with her horns. The mother at- tempted to drag the boy from his perilous position. Suddenly the ani- •mai turned on her, and with one toss of her head threw Mrs. Trieb- ner about four feet above her in the air. At this. time, an elder son, Douglas, who was, a short distance away, came to her rescue, just as the infuriated beast was trampling her helpless body, and with a club beat the animal ever the head and drove her off. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Penhale, of town, 'were driving along the road at the time and saw the whole affair. ' They immediately proceeded .to the scene and gather- ed the two injured Itito their light wagon and took them to their home: Beyond a fractured rib and some ter- rible bruises, the mother and son es- caped possible death. The anneal was purchased from a carload that was brought into Exeter from the West, but was considered a quiet ani- mal.' Taideily the horns were slightly tintidwe or nitre serious results MAY"haVe ,e xlminnti li 5l s st
