«* Bays Father Told Him to Put it Soup, but Not to Take the Soup Himselif. Said to be the Seâ€" cond Attempt to Poison s Woman Here. m foreizgn woman living on Birch street brought to the notice of the police this week what she claims to be the second attempt to poison her. She savs her husband now liwwing near NINEâ€"VEARâ€"OL0 1AD USED FOR GONVEVING PDOSON Cochrane is responsible for the atâ€"! tempts and that he has used their nine vearâ€"old son to convey the poison. About this time last year the man in question complained to the police that his wife was living with another man and unless something desperate was done he would likely do something desperate himself. He was apparentâ€" iy so vengeful that the police searchâ€". ed him and found a loaded club on him. He was fined for earrying conâ€" cealed weapons. Bhortly afterwards be left town taking his young son with him. They have been dliving â€" near Cochrane. â€" During the past suammer the lad came down to visit his mother here, she and the man the husband com plained of having been living in town quietly and undisturbed. Just after the lad returned from â€" his . holiday here, the mother found some black powder in among the flour in the house. She wondered what it was or how it got there, ‘but eventually cleanâ€" ed out the flour barrel feeding the stuff to the hens. Two of the hens promptly died. The woman‘s suspiâ€" cions were aroused and she entered on a period of watchful waiting. When the boy was down to visit again durâ€" ing the recent holidays the woman made a search of his effects. _ She says she found another package of powder. The boy said his father gave it to him, telling him to put it in the soup the last day he was at the house but not to take any of the soup himâ€" self that davy. The wontan alleges that a doctor and a druggist in town were #iven the package and both classed it as poison. Her theory is that the hus band has twice tried to poison her and that he has been using the nineâ€"yearâ€" old lad as the innocent means of conâ€" veving the death potion. _ This is a terrible state of affairs. â€" This disâ€" trict wants none of this sort of love turned to hate and murder stalking in poison eups and that sort of thing, It is fit only for the columns of The Toronto ‘The whole bunceh should be deported to Hollywood. 7 WOMAN CHARGES MAN HERE WITH SERIOUS OFFENCE.

Monday‘s election showed Mr. Galâ€" lagher the choice of every polling subâ€" division for (Reeve, his vote being near ly double that of Mrs. Thomas. _ in view of the popularity of Mr. Gallaâ€" gher and the good service given by him to the Township, Mrs. Thomas made a good run. There may be some surprise at the result of the Councillors. Both J. E. Boyle and J. J. iSt. Paul, the two 1923 Councillors in the field this year, were defeated. iMr. J. E. Boyle has given much municipal serâ€" vice to the Township and Mr.St. Paul has been wellâ€"known for his activity and energy in public service. _ Howâ€" ever, the men elected are publicâ€"spirâ€" ited and capable men, and it may be taken for granted that the FTownship will have effective service from its 1924 Council.

Some of the matters dealt with will no doubt be reviewed by the President in his annual address at the annual meeting on Monday. _ The Timmins Board of Trade has been of more serâ€" vice to the town than is generally reâ€" cognized. It would have still greater usefulness, if the citizens generally would lend full coâ€"operation. .

The first game, Melntyre vs. Hollinger, was as good a game from the spectator‘s standpoint as anyont would ask to see. It was clean, fast, strenuous hockey, without a dull spot Everybody worked hard, and the boy: on both teams played a nice line The teams were evenly matched, and up to the final moment it was anyâ€" body‘s game. 4 The second _ gameâ€"Timmins vs. Domeâ€"was not the same kind of speedy hockey, but it was interesting to watch. The Dome boys are workâ€" ing under handicaps, but they are game all through and are not going to let any team walk away from them.

The second game to be played in Timmins in the Mines League series showed ‘better and faster hockey than the game of last Thursday evening. The first period opened with the Mcâ€" Intyre pressing hard, and shoving several hot ones in on Scully. _ Play remained at the Hollinger end for a few seconds until Gorman broke aâ€" way, and Melntyre came in for a few hard shots, Patsy Parker taking the puck from him and going down and sending in the first goal of the game. Hollinger came back strong and were pressing the Melntyre net hard when the gong rang. The second period opened with a play a little slower than that throughâ€" out the first period. _ This continued until Gorman, one of the most effectâ€" ive players on the Gold Miners‘ lineâ€"| up, broke away and the play was aâ€" round the Melntyre net, Snyder getâ€" ting away, and starting down, Jacobs checking him very effectively, but losing to Parker, who was working like a whirlwind for the Schumacher outfit. The Hollinger squad worked‘ hard trying to get one past the Schuâ€"| macher goalie, their reward omuln0| when Bowles sent one past . ’\I(*Int\ re and tied the seore. Once during this period when the whole Melntyre forâ€" ward line were bombarding the Holly net, Scully ran out to clear the puck, Lawrence got it, and sent one in at the Miners‘ net, where Jim should have been. Carlin had stepped into the net, during Scully‘s absence and cleared in professional style. _ Play continued very fast until the end of the period, Melntyre tr')iZfig hard to gset the lead again, but Blue @weatâ€" ers managing to hold them down. The period ended with the seore a tie. With a thin cloud of, smoke hangâ€" ing over the ice, the dim forms of the plavers could be observed comâ€" ing out for the final frame. From the faceâ€"off both teams worked hard. Patsy Parker going down sent one in that looked like a goal, but the white flag remained down. _ ‘Both teams started to rough it some. Toâ€" ward the middle of the period Carlin broke away, skated down the ice, passed to Bowles, who sent in the second counter for the Hollinger. The MceIntyre pressed, but the fact that Jim Sceully was playing a great gcame in the nets for the Miners kept the score with the Holly one up until | the end of the game. _ L L Lc es usns m mm n ce on ces ues i ons uc n in Final score, 2 to 1 in favour of the Hollinger.

Parks, Ken Stirling and Geo. Lake were present to help the boys in any way possible and will give them any,. further assistance required in the way of coaching and training. It was decided to have two teams for each year from 10 to 10 to start out with next Saturday morning and further teams will be formed if swilicient number of boys come out and show their interest in the game.

It is understood that five boys from Schumacher, with the assistance of Principal Bush, and five boys at South Porcupine, with the assistance of Mr. W. G.‘A. Woods, will organize teams in these two neighboring towns on a similar plan, and so games with Scehuâ€" macher and South Porecupine and Tim mins may be arranged for the season.

The Timmins team had the advantage of a majority of exâ€" perienced players, some of them of Senior reputation. The Timmins team, however, is not yet in condition, but may be expected to make ‘the other teams in jthe League travel some. The chief interest in the game cenâ€" tered around **Porky"*" who had fillâ€" ed the breach for the Dome as goalâ€" keeper. He made a number of nice stops, and had a lot of work to do. He at times, includâ€" ing a wonderful luck. He was in any case a favourite with the crowd who appreciated his gameness. _ In the Town goal Bobby Hoggarth did good cool work and had several nice saves to his=~ credit. ‘The other Levine (‘‘Rosie‘‘) did not get rightly going for the Town. WThe Town defence was good and the combination of the forward line looked promising. The two teams may safely be expected to put up some speedy games before the season is far advanced, and the Town team particularly will stand watching. Like the first game the second part of the double header was clean and penalties were few. _ Ths boys gave their hearts to the game, but the strenuous work was all in good sport. At the end of the first period neither team had scored, though there were a number of narâ€" row esceapes. The second period closed with the score 140 in favour of the Town. The final score was 4 to 0 in favour of Timmins. In the League so far Hollinger has won 2; Melntyre and Timmins won 1 and dost 1 each; and Dome lost 2.
