very sorry to hear of mr jas gilbert being ill and hope he will soon be able to be out again a very enjoyable evening was spent at tom phillips last week when a few of tho neighbors came in on wednesday evening of last week the shocking news came over the wire to mr and mrs wilmot brown of church stree that their son dr arthur h brown of lions head jruce peninsula had been accidently shot by a revolver in his own hand dr brown was an adept with fire arms and was evidently at tempting some trick which he had done on many a former occasion when the gun exploded the shot entering his lung causing death within a few minutes mr m j smith tax collector in the bruce peninsila has sent a per sona letter f5 the grief stricken home in stouffville and this is his own story the doctor and 1 were going north from lions head i was to make a call for the collection of taxes and the doctor intended to make a business call at the same pkice for the collection of a fee for professionil services i stopped at the municipal clerks place and he got out at the gate walked on a short distance to a swamp while i went in to do my business with the clerk while i was in the doctor went to do some shooting with his revolver ant he fired three shots some children playing near heard the shots they tell me he fired the last shot as i was going out to the road again i drove or to overtake him and he was standing on the right hand side of the road he walked around the car came up be side me and said i am done for mack then fell i got out of the car raised his head he said it got me that time i said are you badly hurt when he answered i am done for goodbye mack and say goodbye to the rest for me it was 30 rods or there abouts to the tele phone to which i rushed when municipal clerk mr hayes and i got back he was breathing his last these are the brief facts evident ly the doctor was practising some of his gun stuuts and in some manner discharged the weapon unexpectedly the bullet penetrated his right side after the accident he must have walked 40 feet but he only lived about five minutes after the fatal shot on more than one occasion he had demonstrated to me how he could manipulate a revolver while shoot ing and was practising this no doubt when the accident happened on our drive the doctor was most cheerful and was very enthusiastic over a new drug store he expected to open here the whole thing is most pitiable in the extreme he was taken in such a simple way dr arthur h brown was the only son of mr and mrs wilmot brown being born on the farm just east of stouffville s3 years ago receiving his early education here he later graduated from toronto university in medicine and practised his profes sion with big success at rocky moun tain house mimico london brock- ville and two years ago he establish ed himself at lions head where he was highly spoken of as a success ful practitioner in 1912 dr brown married miss faye colvin of teeswater of two children born to them one survives ruth aged 12 years and the widow and to them and the parents the sympathy of this whole community goes out the remains were brought home for burial the service was held at

flies off like a big brown feathered bullet he is when standing an easy prey to any greenhorn with a gun old timers can remember when this most toothsome of game birds was sold right in stouffville for 23c a pair in 1392 the sale of partridges was stopped by law and we dont believe ever resumed about 1908 j growing scarcity caused the legisla ture to make the first close season not long prior to this the season began in september and lasted until december rnd a hunter might kill as many as he desired had the weather on tuesday been anything lile favorable for a plow ing match it is firmly believed that the second annual match of the north york plowmens association would have been second only in size to the provincial match at brock- ville notwithstanding the fact that in the early part of the morning snow covered the gouud with its mantle of white there were thirty- six teams in the competition and four tractors every class was filled excepting tractors in stubble when the snow melted it made a sea of mud in places on the farm of mr alfred e pugh the wilmot brown farm adjoinin sgtouffville the idea of postponing the match seemed repugnant to most of the officers and so many
