—One of the most melancholy accidents
it has yet been our duty to record was
that of Saturday evening, and in conseq-
nenoe thereof the death of one of our
citizens is hourly expected. About 8:80
that evening Wm. Howlett decided ,to
take a ride upon his bicycle and started
his silent steed west on Bing street.
While descending the hill opposite the
drugstore his front wbeel collided with
the wheel of a road cart driven by Tboa.
Connor and a general mixup followed. It
is difficult to state Just what happened,
but the general. opinion is that the man
was thrown beneath the horse, and that
the animal, being s`colt, stepped upon
him. Such belief ie' suggested from see-
ing the mans bruised body and the condi.
tion of the bicycle. The mix-up was over
in a second, and "a number who had
witnessed it hurried to the unfortnnate
man's side: He walked for a short dis.
tanoe, but finrlly had to be carried home
where he has mince cautioned in d very
critical oondiiion, as his m,�uriee are of an
internal nature. The necident was purely
accidental and therefore there is no blame
attached to anyone, and a statement to
that effect has been made by the injured.
Everything possible has been done to save
the man's file, even to the engaging of a
professional nurse, but as we go to press
not the least particle of hope can be held
out. Much sympathy is felt for the
sorrowing wife and bar two small child.
ren, who are so seyerely threatened with
the lose of an affectionate husband and a
loving father, not to mention other
friends.
—A bicyclist wheeling from Whitby to
Toronto on Monday evening called to tell
ns that he got a very severe tumble at the
meet end of the village owing to a cow
that was tethered on the roadside. The
rope was long enough to allow the cow to
cross the roadway, and when be got al•
moat onto the rope the cow raised her
bead to see the fan and the rope caught
and capsized the wheel. Now it is rather
dangerous to Chas tether cattle. We must
congratulate the owner of the cow on the
forethought displayed to confining the
animal to a limited space, lint the rope
11hould be made shorter and the peg moved
oftener. Had a spirited horse happened
elong'and become tangled in the rope,
serious damage would have been bard to
...vert.
—Saturday evening while David Sav-
age
avage and Pirie O'Leary were "scorching"
east on King sheet the former's wheel
collided with Geo. Cowau's driver at the
oorner of King and church streets. The
boy was thrown from his wheel and es•
caped injury, but the machine was some.
what damaged. The very lamentable
accident of a few weeks ago, should have
served to remind those who ride bicycles
that it is dangerous to ride fast on our
streets, Saturday evenings, but it seems
that another lesson has yet to be imparted.
The occupants of a buggy collided with

bicycle, and in case of a runaway many
liyea are in eminent danger,
—A race between a gentleman cow and
a bicyclist on King street, Thursday,
caused not a little excitement. The man
on wheels escaped without injury.

man that chooses to be fooled by it. Satr

THE FOUNDING OF PICKERING
Between 1801 and 1807 a settlement developed here in Plcker-
fng Townshfp where the Danforth Road crossed Duffftts (.,comic.
Among the early settlers was Timothy Rogers, a prominent
Quaker and colonizer who built a saw and grist -mill in 1809.
A post -office was established in 1829 but The hamlet of Dul-
fin's Creek developed slowly. The construction of the Grand
Trunk Railway, completed in 1856. and growing agricultural
prosperity stimulated the community's development as an im-
portant grist -milling and local commercial centre. Known as
Pickering from the late 1870s, it became a police village in
1900 with about 1000 Inhabitants. In 1953 it was made an
incorporated Village and in 1974 amalgamated with tbe'Town
of Ajax.
