FRACTURED SKULL IN AUTO ACCIDENT Seven Young people from London Turned Over into Ditch Seven young people from London met with a serious automobile acci­ dent at Essery’s turn on the Lon­ don road, about three and a half miles south of Exeter late Sunday evening and as a result Mr. Everett Warren, of Hamilton Road, London is in a critical condition suffering from a fractured skull, a badly lacer­ ated ear, the top of which was al­ most severed and was sewn together with several stitches, and also a bad cut in the forehead. Miss Jea» Chapman, of Princess aye., received lacerations on the scalp and chin and was otherwise scratched and bruised. The young people in a Studebaker touring car were on their way home to London after spending the day at Ipperwash Beach and Grand Bend. The car was owned by Mr. Alex Ross who was a member of the party, and was being driven by Mr. Wm.. Mc­ Lellan. In the front seat with the driver was Miss Chapman and Mr. Warren. Two ladies and two men occupied the rear seat. In attempt­ ing to make the turn the car took to the ditch, rolled over and landed with the wheels in the air three or four feet from the fence. Those in the front seat were the most serious­ ly injured, but how any of them es­ caped is a mystery. Those in the rear seat were practically unhurt, suffering only a few minor bruises. The driver of the car escaped with, an injured finger. The injured were taken into the home of Mr. Alvin Essery and Dr. Weekes and Dr. Fletcher, of town, were soon on the spot to render assistance. The un­ fortunate victims were brought to the hospital of Dr. Fletcher and af­ terwards were removed to London. A provincial bridge inspector hap­ pened along at the time and phoned for provincial officer, A. Whiteside, of Goderich. When it was learned that IMr. Warren had suffered a frac­ tured skull, McLellan and Ross were placed under arrest and were taken to Goderich, being later released on bail. The other members of the party were taken to London by a passing motorist. The auto was badly wrecked, the top, windshield1,, body and wheels being badly broken and twisted, al­ most beyond repair. It was brought in to Chambers’ Garage. Exeter Fair is Great Success The Exeter Agricultural Society have chalked up another successful exhibition, Fine weather prevailed foi’ the fair on Wednesday and as a result a large crowd was present and packed the grounds and buildings. There was a fine showing in almost all classes. More than the usual number of concessions and attrac­ tions were on the grounds to attract the visitors and .all seemed to be do­ ing a fair business. The judging rings attracted many spectators. The showing in the various classes of horses was excel­ lent. While the number of entries may not have been up to other years the quality, was hard to beat and some fine animals were brought in­ to the ring. The cattle showing was considerably above the average. There were a lot of fine animals and the competition was keen. The exhibit of sheep was one of the largest and best evei* seen on the Exeter fair grounds. The hogs were a little light but the animals that were shown were among the finest of their type and were well worth seeing. There was .also some very fine poultry. In the Crystal Palace there were some very fine ’’Specimens of ladies’ needlecraft and fine art's, showing great skill on the part of the exhibi-1 tors. Fruits and vegetables were somewhat light but the quality that was shown was fine. The school children’s department contained some very interesting work on the part of the scholars. Mr. T. H. Elliott was a new ex­ hibitor this year and he had a very fine showing of gents’ furnishing. Messrs. Southcott Bros, and W. W. Taman had the usual fine showing. R. N. Rowe and E. R.
