Chief of police Thomas Kyle. It
all happened when'the chief, who
already has as many. jobs as any
man in Hensel], was preparing
the grounds at the park for the
field meet which tikes place on
Wednesday. The Chief had, just
finished preparing a hop, step and
jump pit when the foreman of a
road construction gang at work'
in the village bet him he didn't'
know how to use it. Chief Kyle in
three tries proved he did» and
easily outdistanced his competitor.
His winnings were handed to -the

CRASH INTO TREE
1Conditiort of Wm. Cole, aged 50, of
Exeter, i&4 'Still critical according to
Dr. Stapleton, his »medical attendant.
He was injured Monday evening when
the truck in which he was a passenger,
struck a large tree in front of the resi-
dence of Mr. S. Crawley, Goderich
Street, .east, a short distance from
Main Street.
He is suffering from a fractured
jaw, fractured skull, possible fractur-
ed wrist and extensive lacerations.
Also in hospital here are Ned Arm-
stroag, 25, of Exeter, said by the po-
lice to have been the driver of the
truck, and Robt. Halter, 40, Exeter,
dairyman, another passenger. Their
injuries include lacerations and shock.
The truck was proceeding w'est
when for some reason it left the road,
ran along the sidewalk and crashed
into the tree. So great was the im-
pact that the engine was driven into
the cab and when the wrecked track
was pulled away it fell through te the
pavement. The force of the impact
swung the truck around so that tire
rear of the platform was resting ad
the. verandah of the Crawley home.
