BLIND PIGS HAVIMG THEIR NES OPEXEHD Special Provincial Men Have Number of Cases in Timmins.

Hurtibhise, $50 and costs and a Polack living near the Skating Rink was fined $500 and costs. The Case against Hurtibise was out of the ordinary, as he was fined for **‘conâ€" suming liquor‘‘ in a public place. Acâ€" cording to the evidence he had simply taken a drink when a round was hought by another manâ€"one of the special Provincial men. The charge against Hurtibuse was reduced from the more serious one of having lhiquor illegally in a public place. The chief ecvidence in all these Provincial cases was @iven by the special men. Charâ€" ette Bros. pleadedâ€"giuilty. Jn each cast there were other charges that were no pressed,. Legacy escaped from custo | dy early Friday morning.

St. Pierre and John St. Pierre wore turned over to the Military auâ€" thorities by Magistrate Aikinson.

Nelson Perron, on a charge of hayâ€" ing in his possession stolen goods was w@iven aother week‘s remand on bail. The lads charged with stealing *‘a shrub or underbrush"* were remanded for another week. Mamie Russell charged with keepâ€" inz a disorderly house pleaded not guilty. The only evidence to sustain the charge was that of Joe Paris who claimed he ‘had been taken there by a man whom he called ‘*Joe the Polâ€" ack‘‘ and whom he identified as Joe Gilbert. As Paris, however, was inâ€" toxicated at the time of his alleged visit and as he could not find the place the. next day for the police his evidence was not conclusive.
