day afternoon, when the De Soto car in which they were driving was struck by the east-bound Souris train at the crossing on Mount Edward Road, about three miles from the city. The car, o total wreck, was carried 160 yards before the train was finally brought to a stand-still.

It is thought that Miss Bruce was
at the wheel of the car at the time of the crash, and that one of the boys was seated in the front of the oar and one in the rear. Cyril Wood was thrown from the car by the force of the impact and thus es- caped serlous injury. That Harry . Mutch escaped alive from the car, which was smashed to pieces, is al- most a miracle.
Great anxiety was felt by citizens
when rumours of the accident began to circulate. The whole city 'gas aghast when the sad facts became generally known, and widespread sympathy was expressed for the par- ents and relatives of the bereaved.
Passengers, on the train were not
aware that an accident had occurred until the conductor asked for volun- teers to carry- the victims aboard.
Mr, Harry Mutch is the more seri- ously injured of the two' lads in the hospital, having one leg and one wrist broken, and other injuries not ls yet i definitely ascertained. Wood sustain- 1 cd slight cuts. Both are in a dazed condition. and remember nothing of the accident.
The remains of the girls were tak-
en to N D. Mcl..ean’s Funeral Home where a Coroner's Jury was sworn in by Coroner Houston.
The following jurors were empim-
nailed:
A. Alley, <forerna.n.>
Bixtus McLellan
G. Gordon Hughes

Thos. F. White James D. White
After the jury had viewed the re-
mains the inquest was adjoin-ned till 10 o'clock this morning when it will be continued at the scene of the tragedy.
