HAILEYBURIAN Vol. 32; No. 39 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24th, 1936 Subscription Rate: $2.00 per year Father and Son Badly Injured by Savage Dogs Lorne Daigle of Island Falls is Victim; Well Known in This District Friends and acquaintances of Lorne Daigle, formerly T. & N.O. agent at Lorrain Junction and relieving agent at both Cobalt and Haileybury, will learn with regret that he and his small son were badly injured in a mix-up with a dog team at Island Falls. The story is told in the following despatch from Cochrane to the North Bay Nugget: "Rushed 43 miles on a railway speeder in zero weather from Island Falls to Cochrane after they had been severely mangled bya ferocious team of sleigh dogs Lorne Daigle, T. & N. O. station agent, and his four-year-old son, Bobby, were reported in favor- able condition this morning. Both:are in Lady Minto Hospi- tal, and were under anaesthetic Sunday as Dr. R. Lempey entea- vored to replace lacerated muscle tissues. The child's injuries are not so serious as those of his father, whose arm was terribly lacerated, a piece of muscle be- ing torn away and the flesh chew- ed to the bone. Daigle was bitten as he tried to save his son, who was attack-} ed while playing near the station.! A team of four dogs, owned by a neighbor, set upon the boy. Hearing the commotion, Daigle rushed out and saw the boy en- tangled with the dogs and_har- ness. He managed to throw the animals off momentarily, then threw himself on top of the child. The dogs returned to the attack, wounding the father severely be- fore the owner of the dogs got them 'subdued. The youngster's arms and legs were slashed, but the father was most seriously hurt, and another operation may be necessary. Both will be confined to hospital for some time. They made the jour- ney to Cochrane on a motor speeder. Provincial police will travel by the next train for Island Falls, which leaves Monday, to investi- gate the accident. a ORGAN INSTALLATION TO BE COMPLETED FOR CHRISTMAS SERVICES The fine new pipe organ being installed in Holy Cross Cathedral here will be used for the first time at the Christmas services, if present plans can be carried out.

The mayoralty nominations will be held from 7.30 to 8.30, with those for council and school board from 8.30 to 9.30. Up to the present, there has not been much discussion over likely candidates for the various offices. The matter of the may- oralty has been brought up on different occasions, but so far there has been no announcement from any member of the present council There is, of course, no possibil- ity of O. J. Thorpe, mayor for the past two years, being in the run- ning, as he has left Haileybury. His place at the head of the coun- cil table has been occupied during the past couple of months by Councillor S. J. Mason, who was made acting mayor by his con- freres. Whether he has any in- tention of running for the posi- tion in 1937 remains to be seen. While there is an apparent lack of interest in the elections at pre- sent, there is every possibility that there will be plenty of can- didates named when the time comes. It is generally hoped that there will be a sufficient number who will qualify for the different offices to fill the list, although on different occasions in the past, a second nomination meeting has been neecssary.
