The late Mr. Eby was noted as a market gardener nd horticulturist, be« ing a great lover of all growing things. He had done much experimental work with plants of various varieties and had produced many unique and beauâ€" tiful specifiens. During the past two years, however, he had not taken m very active part in the gardening acâ€" tivities owing to his age, the business being conducted by his son, Gordon. t The funcral will be held on Saturâ€" day afternoon at 2 o‘clock (Standard [Vrimo) at the residence and at 2.30 at the East End Mennonite Church. _ Inâ€" ‘terment will take plage at the.

WERMINCEOSSINGS Accidents of this nature show the need of greater vigilance on the part of both drivers and pedâ€" estrians using the city streets and '; we. therefore recommend: that. the ! Police muthorities take steps to caution. the public in thh‘mfl. _ The above verdict was arrived at by. |the coroner‘s jury at the inquest held fn the City Hall this morning to enâ€" quire into the cause of the death of William. Butters, who died. as the te; sult of an accident which took ‘place on King Street opposite the ~ Agnes lstfeet corner on Monday afternoon. Coroner J. F. Honsberger presided. Skull Was Fractured. Dr. Hamilton, the first witness callâ€" ed, testified that he had been summonâ€" ed to the scene of the accident and lhml taken care of the patient before mnid after his removal to the hospital, being with h#m until his death, with !the exception of a period not exceedâ€" ‘ing half an hour. He stated that the ‘man died as the result of a fracture at the base of the akull, Mrs, Horner, superintendent of the Kitchenerâ€"Watâ€" erloo Hospital told of the patient beâ€" ing brought into the institution at 5.15. From then until his death at 6.40 the same evening, there was practically 5 % no chapge in his condition. No aâ€"| »®aount of surgical skill could have |. saved Ihs life. j ‘ Car Turned Toward Curb, Fred Witte, a mail collector, was )Lhe next witness called. He was drivâ€" ing down King Street near the new school building when he saw the acâ€" cident occur. The car turned towards the curb as the man moved in that direction. He was hit on the side. One man had gone forward but the man who was struck had jumped back. The car did not strike the man‘s head. It was injured in striking the paveâ€" ment. In the opinion of the witness the driver of the car tried to escape hitiing the man. Was Looking at Watch. Willam Beck, a returned man, who was in the company of Butters at lhel time of the accident, testified that| they had come off work at 3 o‘clock and had been down street. On romingl back, they were undecided as to wheâ€" ther they would go on up to their hoarding house or go over to the Doâ€" minion Tire for supper. As they starâ€" ted across the street Butters pulled out his watch to look at the time. While glancing at it, an auto horn; sounded very close to them. Beck went on and when he loked back he. saw that his companion had hesitated.. Beck stated that he had been nearest |the auto and had had time to Â¥et away lin safety. The car turned towards ‘\the curb and the witness expressed |himself that the girl had made an honâ€" lest attempt to avoid striking them. Butters® watch was picked up beside :( him after the accident. Saw the Accident. Mrs. Weaver, who â€" resides . near |where the accident occurred, told of |witnessing the happening. She stated | that whe noticed the two men crossing, land that neither of them seemed to |see the approaghing car.

The two men had procecded about ten feet from the curb wheu the horn sounded, the impact of the blow following al-I most iinmedigtely.

He believed that the |Police Commission should imnaugurate |a campaign along instructional lines Ito have every person on the lookout for approaching vehicles.
