Charles Levene, electrical contractor of this village, was nursing serious burns on his face, received when a motorboat was destroyed by fire on Upper St. Regis lake. Levene and the operator of the boat were removed from the blazing craft just in time to avoid being forced to choose between an attempt to swim to safety and more serious burns.
