PAGE A WEILDER OF FORKED BRANCH Herb., Campbell, of the Public Util- ities last week was on the search of a super -man who understands the op- erating of a forked branch to detect water in the ground, and this was the cause. Water service at Alex. Reid's, Edward street, became obstructed, and after waiting in vain a few days for the water to show , on the surface, started digging operations to locate the possible trouble. After a week's work in vain, they decided to lay a new main on west side of street, to � give a new connection, as the most economical way to get over the dif- ficulty. Usually a trouble of this na- ture is quite easily remedied, but in this case, ordinary methods were use - SOCIAL EVENING You are invited to a social even- ing, Monday, September 24th in R. C.

BAD MOTOR ACCIDENT IMrs. John French, 254 Locke St. South, Hamilton, and her two young sons are in St, Joseph's Hospital, suf- fering from sever injuries as the re- sult of an automobile accident on the Dundas Street Highway near Nelson Village. on Sunday, when an Ameri- can driver is alleged to have cut in, forced one car off the highway and caused this car to collide with a third in which the French family was rid- ing. The American driver, who gave his name as Henri Car van Dem By- llaaret, 1735 Stewart Avenue, Detroit, was arrested after a pursuit by Traf- fic Officer D, H. Darby of Water - down. He was lodged in Oakville Jail on a reckless driving charge. Connor and Gordon French both suffered fractured skulls, it is stated, and the condition of Connor was grave and he was not expected to live. Their another was badly cut about the arms. Dr, T. W. Peart of Burlington was called, and he had the injured remov- to St. Joseph's Hospital. Van Dem Byllaaret, it is alleged, at- tempted to escape when he saw what havoc was .caused, but Officer Darby happened to witness the accident, and he immediately started in pursuit of the fleeing car and apprehended the driver. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Cowan of Wingham, and Mr; and Mrs. Sparks of Detroit, came on the scene of the accident shortly after it happened, and were able to give assistance in washing and clean'ftig up the children. They say it was an awfttl affair --one which they do not wish to again wit- ness.

Palmer. ; Threshing operations' had just started, cleaning up a couple of stacks outside, when George Thome son noticed a small blaze in the straw outside, no doubt caused by the wind blowingthe straw against the exhaust pipe of a gasoline engine in the stable used for pumping water. By the time he had taken the car out of the gar- age the flames were roaring over the roof. In less than, half an hour the barn roof and sides had fallen, in. A strong wind blew, toward the house and to save it, a half dozen splendid pine trees,' part of a long handsome windbreak, were cut down, and pulled away, while about twenty others were burned. 'Household furn- iture was also removed as a precau- tionary measure. The financial loss to . Mrs. Hamil- ton and her young family will be very heavy, although the Howick Mutual Company carried the risk, which falls far short of the loss. Expressions of sympathy were numerous and gener- al over the. additional calamity that has come to this home within a year.
