Q t l melamine CAR Jung that; ’. , (1131311111131) AND SEVEEEEEN ltlltliith t Bits of Crushed Stone Drawn Into Tracks Said to be Re- sponsible for Derailing of Eastbound Car on the Don Bridge on Gerrard Street Which Collided Head- on With Westbound Car. A despatch from Toronto says:â€"â€"; One passenger received injuries from‘ which he died a few hours later, a score were more or less seriously in- jured on Friday evening when a trail- er jumped the tracks on the Gerrard street bridge over the Don and crash- ed into a street car going in the op- posite direction. ' , The dead man is John Evans. jun.. aged about 30, of 229 Langley avenue. The accident occurred about 5.23 and the trailer was packed with the rush-hour crowd. It was attached to an east-bound Queen car. The two cars were proceeding at a smart rate, when the trailer left the rails, bumped along a few yards, tore‘ the couplings loose and then collided with a westbound Queen car. All the, passengers were thrown into confu- sion amid Crashing glass and wood- work. Evans, who is' thought to have beenl riding on the front vestibule of the1 trailer, received the full impact. of‘ the collision, and from the first douti was expressed for his recovery. William Younger, 71 Bomore road. was standing with Evans, and had'Christopher Needham. Pape avenue,l_ both arms and both legs broken. He‘ may recover, however. Miss Christina Veitch, 52 Smith‘ street, is another of the seriously in- jured, and she remained unconscious for many 'hours. She was badly crushed. The cause of the accident is ascrib- ed to small stones getting into the; tracks. This stone had been used to‘ repair the roadway near at hand. The wrecked trailer was one of ‘the oldest belonging to the Toronto Street Railway. - Others who sufi‘ere'd injuries were’ likely thrown from the front and rear incr could give an account of the acci- dcnt, oilfer than the trailer lial jumpâ€" ed the track and before the collision could be avoided had crashed into their car.

Mr. Ball was relieved of $150 in bills, a dia- mond tiepin worth $1,500 and cheques to the value of $35. Mr. Sabine was shot in the stomach in his store about 10.55 p.1n. and died in the Western Hospital at 1.30 yesâ€" terday afternoon. Mr. Ball is recover- ing from his injuries at his home. As yet no trace of the gunmen has been found by the police, all of whom have been scouring the city and adjacent country during the week end. While lying in the hospital on Sat- urday night after the shooting, Sabine outlined the story of the assault upon- him in his store. He had just finished serving a customer when two gunmen. entered. Neither was masked. They waiked cooly to the counter and with- out further parley presented two re- volvers at Sabine's body and ordered him to empty the cash register for them. He refused.

As far as the druggist could see, the robbers had no automobile in waiting. Mr. Ball, for many years a well- known Parkdale resident and former hotel keeper, and who now conducts; a public garage and motor accessories business at 1523 Queen Street, west, was held up and beaten into semi- insensibility in the garage at the rear of his home at Spadina Road and Heath Street, about 10 o’clock on Sat- urday night, by two armed men, who had been lying in wait for him in the darkened building. It is the belief of Mr. Ball and the police that the atâ€" tack was the work of someone conver- sant with his (Mr. Ball‘s) movements, as one of the thugs called him by name when he refused to hand over his pos- sessions at the robber's demand. Mr. Ball was beaten on the head with a revolver and a monkey wrench, and is now at his home with several bad gashes in his head and facial injuries.
