Miss Burns, though injured and reâ€" ceiving a serious shock, did not lose consciousness. She managed to get up on the road and went at onece for help for Mr. Pillsworth. Miss Burns played the part of a heroine, making her way bravely along, despite her inâ€" juries, crawling when she could nat walk. She roused Mr. J. Shewan who in turn secured the services of Dr. Muterer. _On arrival at the scene of the accident it was thought at first that Mr. Pillsworth was unconâ€" scious, and accordingly he was hurâ€" ried to the doctor‘s office for better attention and treatment than could be given by the roadside. At the otâ€" fice, however, it was found that death had been instantaneous. Mr. H. E. Montgomery, was notified and visited the scene of the tragic acâ€" cident and learned all particulars that could be known. An inquest was not required under the cireumstances. Under medical care and attention Miss Burns is making good progress to recovery. She is at present at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Osborne Orr, South Porecupine.

The remains were taken to Port Hope for interment, his father and mother reâ€" siding in that town, the town where he was born 33 years ago. There was a large number of floral tributes from the Oddfellows of South Poreupin® and Timmins, the Rebekahs of South Porcupine, the G.W.V.A., and others including a number from a few of his innumerable friends in the Camp. There was service at the 1.O.0â€"/FR. Hall conducted by PXi. Bro. Reynolds and Rev. G. R. McVittie. There was a large Union Jack over the coffin, the deceased having served with distineâ€" tion overseas ~with the 228th Batâ€" talion.. He was a valued member of the 1.0.0.F. and there were over. a hundred (Oddfellows in the line of march to the station, fully three hunâ€" dred others of his friends paying their last sad tributes to this departâ€" ed good friend. In addition to the bereaved parents, a number of brothers survive, two of whom, Messrs. John and (Perey Pillsâ€" worth, are residents of Englehart.
