Man Resting After Apparent Accident Injuries

This morning he is resting as well as can be expected, never having lost consciousness throughout the entire affair.

Mr. Jaggi was probably saved from instant death by quick work lifting the car. Henry Maurer has a broken shoulder blade and is resting easier today.
