1909-03-03	A fatal accident occurred here on Saturday evening when Joseph Lalonde of this place, who was employed on the G.T.R. as a section hand, got on the hand car to go a short distance down the line. In some unaccountable way the handle of the hand car struck him on the neck, and it is presumed that the force of the blow broke his neck. He was taken to his home where Dr. Desrosier attended him. In the meantime the G.T.R. engine and crew were making preparations to take him to the hospital in Ottawa, but he succumbed before he could be removed.

1916-08-25	A search for train wreckers, after the six o'clock passenger train had come to a stop within a few feet of obstructions placed across the rails of the Grand Trunk Railway within a short distance of town, resulted in the arrest of five young boys who wanted to see a train wreck, and to satisfy their wishes, placed a tie across the rails and then hid themselves behind the hill to watch the smash up. Engineer H. McCulloch saw the obstruction in time and stopped his train within a few feet of the tie, near the roundhouse and only a few hundred yards from the station. Detectives aboard the train found the five boys crouching behind the hill; one confessed that they had committed the deed and said he would 'do it again' as he wanted to see a wreck.
