Body of T. Scott Has Been Found
Lost Life During Bridge Construction at Entrance, Alberta

The body of Thomas Scott, of Calgary, who lost his life with three others on July 23 during the erection of a bridge at Entrance, near Jasper Park, has now been recovered, according to word received by J.E. Worsley, local official of the Structural Bridge Workers' Union. Mr. Worsley left for the north on Sunday evening to bring the remains to Calgary.
Of the four men killed, three were carried with the wreckage into the Athabasca river. They were: W. S. O'Brien, the superintendent of the bridge construction gang, Vancouver; J. P. Connaghan, Vancouver, and Thomas Scott. Dave Robb, of Vancouver, was killed on the bridge. The body of O'Brien was recovered some time ago, but that of Connaghan is still in the water.
Scott resided at 627 Nineteenth avenue northwest, and left a wife and five children.
Mr. Worsley stated he expected to return to Calgary about Wednesday next, when arrangements for the funeral here would be made.
