BLUEVALE MAN KILLED
ON C, N. R.. TRACK.
Blinded by snoniflurries as he
struggled through a gale in walking
his section of the Canadian National
tracks, a, half mile east of Hyde Park,
about 10 o'Clock Thursday morning,
Joseph Yeo, 64 tyears old, of 343
Thames Street, London, was ,so ser-
,
iously injured by train No. 163, which
/eft London at 9.40, that he died on
the way backto London on the south-,
'bound Bruce.
Dr. Seaborn ,met the train at Lon-
Oon, but found that Yeo was dead,
and the body was taken to Stewart
Irvine's undertaking parlors, King
and Waterloo streets: Dr. Ross, of
_Hyde Park, could not be reached be-
fore Yeo was brought back on the
southbound Bruce, but was called as
;the coroner in the case. First aid at-
-tendon was given to Yeo by members
.of the crew of the train which struck
-. him, but he was too badly injured to
save his life. Both legs were broken,
.and he suffered severe injuries to his
head and face. •
Mr. Yeo, was unmarried, but has a
brother living at Bluevale, Ontario.
He was born on the old Yeo home-
stead near Bluevale, but for a num-
.ber of years had been railroading.

MARCH LION ROARS
• DID DAMAGE
Just as we gave the March Lion
a little credit last Week for his ab-
sence of roars, he showed his appre-
ciation in bad form, by coming back
through the night with a perfect cy-
clone of fury, A rain in the early
evening turned to sleet and snow,
with a rapidly increasing wind from
the west that developed into per-
fect cyclone before morning. Roads
were rendered impassable, the rail-
ways completely blockedl while no
small amount of damage Was one to
property by blowing in of windows,
knocking down of chimneys, and
doors 'wrenched from hinges. The
blizzard kept up all day Thursday,
with the thermometer dropping be-
low the zero mark.
About seven o'clock Thursday mor-
ning- workmen in Gurney's Glove
Works heard some bricks unnble on
the roof, and in a few minutes a loud
smash told of a bigger damage. Go-
ing up they found a twelve -foot strip
of roofing with sheeting and rafters
ripped up and laid upside down, un-
doubtedly the reason the rest of the
roof t.vas saved, the additionalweight
holding it down against the Wind. By
strenuous work by a large staff re-
pairs were made that day.
The north window in Stephenson
& Son's jewelry store caved in about
midnight, but, Mr. Stephenson had
been notified of the pending damage
and removed the contents of the win
clow, and escaped very easily.
A window at Mr. C. E. Armitage's
home blew in and did considerable
damage to some fancy china on a
stand nea.rby.
Many a house had windows forced
in by the wind, and next Morning
they presented 'a strange sight with
the openings covered Wail bo. lids,
quilts, cushions or rags—anything to
keep the penetrating wind and snow
out.
. .
')(A. party of about 20 young .:people
drove down to Bluevale to a dance,
r,n Wednesday; but when they start.
ed on the return journey home, they
ferand :an altogether different tune.
The horses floundered aroand •iM the
deep snow and finally milt a short -
distance out, so the young people re-
tired to the hall till morning'. Kindly
disposed peopleprovided them with.
breakfast and they whiled 'aWay the
time Waiting- for a train, whieh finallv
reached our suburb about 8 o'clock
•at night, Now, in certain quarters
it is not considered Polite to ask
these .yOung people anything about
snowdrifts 'and Bluevale dances. A.

tion, when • it „Stuck in a snowbank.

HERBERT M.cLEAN KILLED
Was Carried. to His Death By Part
of Roof Blown Off in. Last
Night's Storm.
Last night's storm lifted part of
the roof off the McLean block, cor-
ner Kingston street and the Square
and deposited it in the yard- behind,
but this was not the most serious part
of the disaster, for Mr, Herb Mc-
Lean, the owner of the block, lost
his life. Since their return from New
York, Mr. and Mrs. Mcioean had been
living- in the top story- of the block,
where Mr. McLean had very comfort-
able apartments fitted up, and finding
that the roof was loosening in the
gale, he and two tenants of his in
the same block, Mr.. Wilfred Hoggar-
th and Mr, Albert R. Pruder, made
an effort to fasten the roof down in
some way with a rope. Mr. Hogarth
had gone down for something before
the accident occurred and when the
roof started to break away Mr. Prud-
er was lucky in being able to jump
to another part of the roof, but Mr.
McLean was carried away with the
roof and was battered partly through'
the roof of a shecl in the rear of the
block and, of course, was instantly
killed. This was the first. night Mr.
and Mrs. Pruder spent in their new
apartments in this block, having only
just moved in. Arr. 'Mci..,ea.n was fif-
ty-three years of age and had been
in business as a druggist in New
York for years, returning to Goder-
kit last year. He was a sonof the
late Mr. Robert McLeap.
THESE ARE THE ROAD
DESTROYERS
The Official warning to truck dri-
vers and owners, by the Ontario De-
partment Of: Highways is interesting
Lo the general read.er, not only be -
"cause it Urges that at thie seascoi of
the year trucks be not overloaded. be-
cause of the moisture Which lurks in
roact foundations, andwhich comb a -
tion of heavy pressure and non -resist-
ing pavements is 'apt to do great dam-
age to the highways, but because it
specifies. the speed. limits for trnelea.
Most drivers of pleasure cars have at
one time or other found themselves
behind immense trucks past which
they can hardly see and which tear
along at speeds of forty or more Miles
per hour. According to the official
notification trucks With 'solid tire alt
limited to fifteen miles per ' hour,
while the limit ,,for pneumatic tired
trucks of more, than Six tons gross
is twenty miles, These are the speed
limits the year rotund.- It should ,not
bc. overlookecheither that horse drawn
vehicles -With a carrying capacity 02
a ton, must not carry it load' exteed-
inn' half that weight, , It is Safe to
SaY that ,driVers 'of trucks of large
capacity axe about.as serious offend-
Orti against the rules as are most,

,
14. DORSES HYDRO
After one of the botest lxittles ever
fought in a munieipality in ()nutria,
Southampton electors on Monday
carried Hydro by 228 to 194, a maj-
ority of 34. This is not an over-
whelming majority, but one of pretty
emphatic pronottncerrient in view of
the determined and itifluential oppo-
sition eneountercd. Not only were
the genuine opponents of public, own-
ership active, but sympathy for' the
American Power Trust, the Foshay
interests, vvho recently bought the sy-
stem supplying Southampton with el-
ectric energy, prompted many to vote
anti -hydro. As an instance of the
bitterness of the contest, clergymen
who always vote as occupants of
church property, were challenge.d but
took the oath.
Southampton's verdict to join up
with the big provincial co-operative
sytern is hailed with great satisfaction
by Provincial Commission, as a fur-
