RUNS IN PATH OF EXETER
MOTORIST AND LOSES LIFE- . *!•
The sympathy of this community
goes out to Mr. and Mrs. David Row-
.cliffe because of theii" tragic exper
ience on the morning of the 24th;
when a little four-yfear-old boy dart
ed out from the curb on the provin-1
cial highway about half a mile east
of- Louisville, Ont., near Chatham,
and was run down by Mr. Rowcliffe
and died a short time afterwards.
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. - *
