The inquest was held in the city hall at North Bay and there was a very large crowd present, the case having aroused great interest. The evidence of Dr. Smith was to the effect that Mr. Beaton was dead when the doctor arrived on the scene. The dead man had a deep gash on the fore part of his skull. The skull was also fracturâ€" ed behind one of the ears. There was a deep cut on one side of the face. One of the ears was severed. Th doctor attributed death to the skull injuries. Dr. Smith declined to exâ€" press an opinion as to whether the deceased would expire from heart trouble from which he was said to have suffered. The coroner‘s jury enquiring into the death of W. H. Beaton, newlyâ€"apâ€" pointed bailiff for Nipissing, on Wedâ€" nesday evening last returned the folâ€" lowing verdict:â€"*"William H.

GOOD WORK OF ONTARIO FORESTRY AIR SERVICE At Toronto last week Mr. Evan Daâ€" vid, a prominent United States authorâ€" ity on the subject of aeronautics. and also a novelist of considerable standâ€" ing, made the statement that the forâ€" estry patrol of the Ontario Governâ€" ment is the most effective and efficient that he has ever seen. Mr. David is an experienced flier, having lengthy and honourable career in the United States Flying Corps, in whi branch he served during the w. Mr. David has been looking for "local colour" for a new novel and recently has travelled extensively on the Canâ€" adian National Railways, going to the end of steel on the Hudson Bay branch. Mr. David‘s opinion of the Ontario Flying Corps will be very heartily endorsed by all who have notâ€" ed the very apparent efficiency of the forestry airmen and the good work they have accomplished. "I have one incident," Mr. David told a Globe interviewer, "fully authenticated, where a lookout spotted a fire 30 miles away, and within a scant 30 minutes aeroplanes were takâ€" ing off from almost half a dozen bases carrying newest fireâ€"fighting equipâ€" ment and fighters to man it. The fire, which, under conditions three or four years. would have burned up miles of valuable timber, was extinâ€" guished almost at its inception, and squatters living five miles away did not know it had broken out until aeroâ€" planes swooped down almost upon them, as it were. This is but one of many cases I could auote, and, to carâ€" ry the story even further, I might add the unusually fine service the Governâ€" ment is giving in timberâ€"cruising by air, mapâ€"making and other public services. In fact, there are many things that they could teach us gcross the line in this type of work and orâ€" ganization." New Liskeard on charges arising from infractions of the provincial Insurance
