Come to the entertainment and the fire. men will try and make you comfortable. A good orchestra has been secured for the occasion. See bills for further par- ticulars. —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 are in equal danger with the party on the 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. —Whisky will make a fool of any man that chooses to be fooled by it. Satr urday evening a youthful bicyclist pass• ed through this village from the west very much intoxicated. He tumbled off several times before reaching St. An. drews' church, but when opposite that building he took a header into the ditch, and in falling dislocated his left should. er. He was remoyed from the ditch and driven to Whitby, and returned by train to Toronto, Riding a bicycle is a par. ticular piece of work at any time, but to a drunk m an the task is doubl3 dif• ficult. His campanion was scarcely more sober, but managed to escape bod• ily injury. FiD ancial Statement OF THE Police Village of Pickering For the Year 1932.

Y+,qt w . �\ At X �y� •may, �� ,Ion !nue 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.
