removed to the Augusta General Hos
pital, where their injuries were treat
ed.
Mr. Arbour suffered broken ribs, one
of which punctured the lung. and at
first 1t was thought that he would not
live. Later in the afternoon, however,
hope was extended for his possible re-
covery. Miss Clark sustained broken
arm and minor bruises. Miss Cormier
was but slightly bruised in her side
and shaken up. while Mr.. Tschalmer

suffering with broken leg and cash
