his normal condition. The Sank
Centre man endeawored to act as
peacenfaker. He told them they
could settle the responsibility lat
err. The Svedin young men want
ed immediate cash settlement. Mr..
Rose spent several minutes en-
deavoring to placate them, and
drove on, coming west. Mr.. Rose
did not witness the accident which
cost The lives of the two A1exan=
|dria young men and critically in
iureda Mr.. Schooner. He probab-
ly missed by about two minutes
as hesm met Hudson travelling east
when about one-half mile from
where he had talked to the young
men. This car brought the young
err Svedin to the Melrose hospital.
Mr.. Rehmann must have been
travelling at a terrific rate of
speed. The young men were argu-
ing on the pavement, Mr.. Schooner
says, about four or six feet from
the north edge of the pavement.
He says they did not have any
warning of the approach of Mr..
Rehmann until they saw a flash.
The next thing he knew he was in
che hospital at Melrose.
Deputy Coroner A. F. Moyni-
han of Sank Centre, was notified
of the accident by VIM. Unger,
Melrose undertaken. He FASTENED
to the place and found that Lloyd
Svedin had been killed instantly.
The body was lying beside the
pavement. The impact of the car
breaking both legs below the knee
and also breaking his neck. Both
limbs of Edwin Svedin were also
broken, his skull was fractured,
and he undoubtedly suffered in
ternal injuries as he died practical
ly as soon as he reached the hos

carried him some distance as he
was found under the touring car
about rs feet west of the coupe.
He appraised the others of his To-

Mr.. Schooner suffered a COM
pound Fracture of his left leg be-
low the knee. When the accident
occurred he is said to have been
bending over his car endeavoring
to straighten the fender so he
could proceed on his journey.
It has been claimed that the
young men were injured by the
bumper on. the Hudson. Deputy
Coroner Moynihan in his report of
the accident to County Attorney
James Quigley gives it as his OPP
inion that they were struck by
the running board of the Hudson,
as the breaks were too low down
for the bumper to hit them.
Mr.. Schooner was taken to the
MelroseS hospital where he is still
confined. He probably suffered a
brain conclusion as he is delirious
at times. Reports circulated of
his death are. erroneous. He was
resting as easy as could be expect
ed at noon Wednesday. The Mel
rose physicians have urged that
they be allowed to amputate. A
specialist from the city comedies
with this diagnosis, but the injured
man strenuously objects to an OPP

most sure to follow and amputa-
ton will likely be inevitable,
Deputy Coroner Moynihan said
a search of the Svedin boys dis
closed the fact that they had "a
cents between them. There was
on the person of either or
in the grip to indicate who they
were. There was a letter from a
sister, but there was no address
or last name. Finally a cream
weight receipt given by the Blue
Valley Creamery Company, of this
city, was located in the pockets of
one of the young men. = 1t was
not possible to decipher the name.
They Immediately got in touch
with Manager Nye and it was
found that the name on the re-

tilted and then the mother. They
are sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Erick
