- Serious Accident
Mr Earl Fumerton of Carleton Place is in the R.M. Hospital suffering from severe burns. His car took fire in the Hotel Almonte yard at two o'clock Monday morning. Mr Peter Ferguson also of Carleton Place, who was with him was in the act of pouring water into the dry carburetor when it burst into flames. As the car was a closed sedan it was with great difficulty that he got Mr Fummerton out of the car, who was most severely burned. He was rushed to the R.M. Hospital where everything was done to relieve him. The car was a complete wreck.
