Severe injuries were sustained by Mayor Clifford Schwartz of Shawville when the car he was driving was involved in a collision with another car driven by Earl Angus of McKee late Thursday night at the junction of Highway eight and the Bristol side road. Reports by Dr. McDowell ascertained by THE EQUITY yesterday afternoon affirmed that the Mayor is recovering rapidly from his injuries which included a compound fracture of the right leg. A number of witnesses were quickly at the scene and it was found necessary to jack up the badly damaged vehicle to release the mayor who had been thrown from his own car and trapped beneath it.

Leslie Vadiness of Chapeau, an employee of Chapeau Electric Power Company, was instantly killed while working there on Wednesday afternoon when he accidentally touched a power wire.

The force of the electrical shock threw him from the platform on which he was standing and he fell ten feet to the ground sustaining a crushed skull.
