He was returning from his farm in Vaughan township and in turning in‘ his own driveway on Yonge Street was struck by a north- bound car. The auto was completely wrecked and when Mr. Sliuey was re moved to the office of Dr. Langstafi“ he was in an unconscious condition. He regained consciousness, however, and for a time recognized friends and memebrs of the family but in spite of all medical aid he died about nine o’clock. Whether he did not see the car, or misjudged the distance or speed in only a matter of conjecture.
