Summerside Man Asphyxiaied In Montreal Home

MONTREAL, Dec. 30 — (GP) _ A 27-year-old R.C.A.F'. man from Stlmmerside, P.E.I., wrote A 19g. trr homo lart. night saying heki had a wonderful Christmas in Montreal.

“I ivish though we could all have been together.” Keith Dobson Man- Klnnon (334 Central Street) wrote his sister, Eunice, "Fm really look- lng forward to June."

But Keith MacKlnnon won't keep the June date with his rei- atives - he died last night short- ly after writing the letter.

Coroner Richard L. Duckatt re- turned a verdict of accidental death in the case today. Death was due to asphyxiation.

MacKinnon was found uncon- scious on the ﬂoor at the home of his fiancee. Ferne Bell, 25, short- ly before '7 p.m. Siic called an ambulance, a druggist arid police. But he was dead.

lVliss_Be-li testified that she and MacKinnon had been engaged three years and were to be mar- ried shortly. “He had no financial troubles." she testified.

Charles Parizeau, i; drugglst who was called by Miss Bell, said he found two gas jets open.

Coroner Duckett said he had no reason to return a suicide verdict. because MacKinnon did not ep- p95!‘ despoiideiit. "A motive is al- ways needed before we can say that a man committed suicide." the coroner commented.

"In this case MacKiimon seem- ed happy and even ivrote a let- ter about his future plans."

Mr. MacKinnon was a studsnt in electrical engineering at Queen's University. Hr: was on the Ali- Forre reserve \\":lh the rank of Flying Officer, and would have become active on graduation. A brilliant student, he was K01"! through on earned scholarships.

lie served during the recent war as a navigator mid did a tour of operations overseas. Before the War and for a time after, he was employed with R. T. Holman Ltd. Summerslde.

Ha Was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius MacKlnnon of Slimmer- side. His fiancee is a dauRhi-PI‘ 0f Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bell of Sum- merslde and is working in Mont- real, It is understood Miss Bell ‘was to have met hini for dinner Thursday evening at the Labor- atory of the Royal Victoria Hos- pital but when he did not. appear she went home and found him in the kitchen with the house full of gas.

The body is scheduled to arrive in Surnmerside tonight, The fun-

Wellington Threatened By Grass Fire .

Residents of the village of Wel- i lington in Prince County got quite i a scare last evening when about 6.30 and during a 35 mile an hour gale a fire sprung up in tall grass about a quarter mile from the settlement with the wind blow- ing in that direction.

The Wellington Fire Depart- ment, under Fire Chief Howard Barlow. quickly assembled and with the help of about '70 other volunteers managed to let the dangerous looking blaze under control in about an hour.

The fire burned over an acre or more of land and along the railway track. it scorched the fence poles and telegraph poles but did not destroy any of them.

No water was available to oper- ate the pumper so the workers had to fight the fire with shovels, mops and brush, beating it out Fire Chief Barlow said that the village tvas in serious danger oi being wiped out if the fire had not been discovered in time llid fouziit idznrnusly.

He is of the opinion that it could only have been started by a careless smoker as there are no buildings ncar. A zuard was in be left on duty till midnight in case it sprung up again.

The west bound express came aloniz shortly after the blaze was cxiinztiishcd rind was ablc to pass
