Mr. and Mrs, Rowcliffe were on their way to Windsor to visit their daughter, intending also to visit for a short time with Mr. and Mrs, E^rl Hodgson, of Chatham. While tra­ velling along the highway they no­ ticed two boys ^walking along .the. side of the road' and Mr, Rowcliffe sounded: his horn. An auto was ap­ proaching from the opposite direction and just as Mr. Rowcliffe was close to the boys the younger of the two darted across the road, His actions yvould indicate that he ‘was trying to get across b.efore the other car ap­ proached and failed to notice the ap­ proach of Mr. Rowcliffe, Mr. Row­ cliffe applied' both the ordinary and emergency brakes and his car swerv­ ed .around in -the road and was fac­ ing at right angles and when the driver of the approaching car brought his auto to a stop'it was only three or four feet from Mr. Rowcliffe’s car, thus avoiding a second collison. The unfortunate lad was Harland Findlay, son of lM!r. and Mrs. Gordon Findlay, of Northwood, who was in company of his brother Gerald', aged seven. Mr.. Rowcliffe immediately took the .child to the home of its par­ ents and a doctor was called. The lad passed away shortly afterwards. Cor­ oner Dr. T. L, MCRltfehie immediate­ ly impaneled a jury and after view­ ing the remains adjournment was made until the date of the inquest. Mr. Rowcliffe was detained for a time but in. view of the circumstances he was allowed to' so without bail promising to appear at the inquest which will be held Thursday in Chat­ ham. - * Out of sympathy for theii' fellow­ townsman the • Exeter Chamber of Commerce gent-<a. wreath of flowers to t-he home of the deceased' ‘ - 1 DIXON—McFALLS NUPTIALS — ‘ A pretty wedding took place at the Hamilton Road Presbyterian manse, London, when William.
