Girl Cyclist Injured In Traffic Accident
Miss Gladys Mainguy, 274 Fifth Avenue, fractured her left collar bone and was rendered unconscious when the bicycle she was riding skidded on the wet pavement and slid under the front of a horse drawn wagon at Bank and Catherine streets at 5 p.m. yesterday. Miss Mainguy was treated by Dr. A. T. Shillington and taken to her home. Constable R. A. Grant, who investigated, reported that the wagon was in charge of Harold Cole, 155 Edison avenue, Westboro, and was turning west on Catherine street from Bank street when the accident occurred. Witnesses to the accident told police that the street was slippery and Miss Mainguy was unable to stop her bicycle before it struck the horse drawn vehicle. Miss Mainguy was pulled from beneath the wagon by Morris Ogaick, 5 Norfolk avenue, and John Lafleur, 499 Arlington avenue, who were passing at the time.

Three Are Injured In Short-Circuit At Power Plant
Three employees of the Ottawa Light Heat and Power Company suffered from burns, one severely, when a short circuit occurred when lines were being rearranged near No. 2 Power House at the Chaudiere at 10 am. today. They were: Maurice Ogaick, lineman, of 5 Norfolk avenue, who suffered severe burns to his legs, Arthur Rice, lineman, at Mayview avenue, Carlington, and William Ferguson, foreman, of 53 Glen avenue, both of whom were slightly burned about the face. All three are in Civic Hospital. Company officials' said lines were being rearranged when Ogaick accidentally caused the short circuit. This resulted in burns to his leg. The other men were close by at the time and received burns from the flash. The accident caused an interruption of seven minutes in one of the transmission lines from Gatineau Power Company. A small number of the customers supplied from the Chaudiere substation were deprived of service for the same length of time, the company reported.
