Nifton was taken to St. Mary‘s Hosâ€" pital where he was found to have a multiple concussion of the brain, A lacerated scalp and a cut knee. His condition was pronounced serious. The accident occurred at the corner of Wilson avenue and Young street. An automobile, owned by Arthur Randolph was parked on Wilson avenue. It was struck by a car driven by a man, who immediately following the accident got out of the automobile and ran away. He has since ndt been identified. In the third accident at eleven o‘clock Gordon Nifton was seriously injured by an automobile, that apparently was a stolen car. Police took the abandoned automoâ€" bile, which was carrying Quebec license plates, to the police station. A man called to say that the car was his, but has not turned up to claim it. Police expect to lay charges upon concluding ‘their investigations. In opening his address Mr. Mahoney expressed his great pleasure in being here, stating he "couldn‘t do justice to the subject" in expressing his feelâ€" ings in this regard. At the age of 17 Mr. Mahoney had been working at lumâ€" ber camps, and at the time of the gold rush the "craze" had come to him and he had decided to head for the Yukon. "I told them at home that I would not return till I had made good," he said. and being one of the few who were lucky, he kept his word. At the lumber camps he had earned $18.00 a month. Naturally there was little left at the end of the season and he made his way across the continent in a "private" box car. Mr. Mahoney was generous with humorous remarks. and one of the stories he told came at this time in his adventures. He had reached Seattle, but had no way of earning a living or the $125.00 that was required for passage to Skagway. As he was standing about one day., a man came up to him and said: "You Jook as if you‘d like to earn a dollar." The speaker promptly answered "yes" and he was dressed up as a lion at a sideshowâ€"to take the place of the lion who had escaped. To prove to the auâ€" dience that the lion was the king of beasts, the "ballyhoo" man said he would place the lion with a group of tigers, Mr. Mahoney vigorously obâ€" jected but with the noise from the crowd, no one heard his objections and he was pushed in with the tigers. ‘They chased him around the cage and ‘The first accident occurred at Third avenue and Birch street at 10,40 o‘clock. A car driven by Reino Floyd was going south on Birch street. When it made a right hand turn on Third avenue it crashed into a another automobile in the middle of the intersection. The second car was driven by Henry Leâ€" blanc, 98 Wilson avnue. Both cars were badly damaged but no one was injured in the accident. No charges have been laid. At 10.50 o‘clock a truck driven by Erâ€" mono Della Vedova, 215 Cedar street south, and owned by the Empire Meat Market, struck down a pedestrian. V. H. Baker, of Ogden Township, on the corner of Cedar street and Third ave. Baker was taken to a physician‘s office and examined but apparently was not injured. No charges were laid in connection with the accident. Lions Enjoy Story of Early Days in the Yukon Thursday evening was Ladies‘ Night at the Lions Club, a supper and social evening taking place at the Harmony hall on Fourth avenue. A large numbet of the members with their ladies and friends were present, the supper comâ€" mencing at 6.30 p.m. "Scotty" Wilson at the piano accompanied the singâ€" song and other features of the proâ€" gramme. ) The feature attraction of the evening was an address by Mr. M. Mahoney, of Ottawa, who told of his adventures in the Yukon gold rush of 1898. He and his secretary, Miss McCloy, were inâ€" troduced to the gathering by Mr. Fred Stock. To illustrate his address. Mr. Mahonâ€" ey had brought with him 1500 feet of film, portraying happenings and scenes during the gold rush which he had had developed in later yvears for this express purpose. j Pouring rain and greasy pavements and roads were partly responsible for three automobile accidents which ocâ€" curred on Saturday night within a period of twenty minutes between 10.40 and eleven o‘clock.

His next job was street cleaning, but he realized that he would never earn the required $125.00 at this occupation, and so when the opportunity presentâ€" ed itself he took the position of "chamâ€" bermaid to a boatload of horses" and in this manner reached Skagway. At this time in the address, there were shown pictures of gambling places and the poor dwelling places which were characteristic of the Skagway of that time. From Skagway two passes led to the gold area, through neither of which could one pass unless he had a year‘s food supply with him. These were mudâ€" dy, treacherous trails, where many men met their death.

We have scoured it." The belief held by searchers is that Barilko might have wandered into any one of the 82 mining and lumbering camps, deserted and ctherwise, that dot Godfrey, Bristol and Turnbull tocwnships. If he did, said Constable Strickland. he would have fsod enough to last him for a month as most of them are well stocked. Provincial police and a total of sixâ€" teen men are combing Godfrey townâ€" ship for some trace of Bill Barilko, 22, who has been lost since Wednesâ€" day, cling firmly to the belief that he is alive.
