Thorold, Ont., Jan 31-William Ivansuik, 33-year-old workman at the Beaver Wood Fibre Company plant, was instantly killed and a second workman William Mowry suffered a broken collarbone and other injuries today in an accident that occurred while the two men were laying railway track. They were engaged in construction of connecting spur to main line track in the company yards when the accident occurred.
