It was a danger- ous place and nothing could save them if they fell off. A similar ac- cident occurred several years ago." How Fatality Occurred. Harold Knight was one of seven children of Mr. and Mrs, Knight and he was accompanied by his brother Gordon aged six years and some other lads. They were out on the ice and Mr. Samuel Hogan says -that he was about a quarter of a mile from the shore on his way to the city with pressed hay when the boys met him. They asked for a ride and he told them to keep away. A mo- ment later he heard a cry and stop- ped his horses. He got off the sleigh and went back and'saw a child lying on the ice. Some boys were clinging to the tongue of the loaded sleigh he had trailing, and he supposed the | boy had aise been clinging to it and fell off. The little fellow was pick- ed up and brought to the city by him, Nobody saw just what happen- ' Mrs, Knight was notified at once she learned of the circumstance she was heart-broken. Captain Conde and Mr. Pollie of the Children's Aid Society were instantly on hand, and endeavored to comfort the stricken mother. It was her intention to have Harold start to school after Easter. He was a bright lad and very active. After the coroner completed his in- vestigation the remains were remov- ed to 8. 8. Corbett's undertaking par- lors. From the facts learned it was ap- parently a practice for the young- | sters to go out on the ice and meet sleighs for the purpose of getting a ride. Mr: Hogan had both of his sleighs loaded with pressed hay and | from his position on the front, one could not see boys jumping on. the tongue of the trailer which was also loaded dis nis ain Fire on Steamer McVettie No Serious Damage Resulted The firemen weré given a call at 8.30 Wednesday morning, for a fire which broke out on the old steam- or McVettie laid up at the foot of Barrack street, and now out of com- mission.

FREE STATE The Terms of British Separa- tion Announced By Lloyd George. London, March, 1.--In announcng in the house of commons this after- noon that the British protectorate over Egypt had been terminated, Lloyd George stated that a govern- ment white paper would contain the declaration of policy on which the government would proceed.

"First--~Security of the communi- cations of the British Bmpire in Egypt. "Second--Defence of Egypt against all foreign aggression or interference direct or indirect. "Third--Protection of the foreign interests of Egypt and protection cf minorities. "Fourth-+~We are prepared to make an agreement with the Egyp- tian government-in- a spirit of mut- ual accom: whenever a fav- orbale opportunity arises for the con- clusion of such an agreement. But until such an agreement satisfactory to ourselves and to the Egyptian gov- ernment, has been concluded, the status quo will remain intact.

An act of indemnity, therefore, would be ne- cessary before any government could dispense with martial law. Lloyd George sald it was for the Egyptian government to pass the ne- cessary legislation, in the way of which "we undertake to place no ob- stacle, provided the final clause of the government's declaration is duly obsorved.""
