	A sad automobile accident occurred just west of Lake Placid about a week ago in which Miss Ruth LaBounty, of Saranac Lake, a popular young lady of the village and student at the [[Saranac Lake High School]], received fractured skull which it was feared would prove fatal.

The force of the impact threw LaBounty over the bridge across the brook, and landed her on her head among some bushes. There were deep cuts on the back of her head also on the right side near her eye. All the others were thrown out except Mrs. LaBounty who clung to the wheel and all suffered greatly from bruises and shock. Miss Labounty was picked up unconscious by a passing car and hurried to the office of Dr. Proctor, of Lake Placid.
