T#E PERGUPINE AOVANGE Thurs., January 14th, 1926 THURSDAY, JANUARY, 14th, 1926 BOY SHOT BROTHER W PLAYING WITH A RIFLE. A despatch this week from Porquis Junetion says that while Carl Rese, age six, was teaching his younger brother, Oscar, age four, the intricaâ€" cies of a .22 rifle the weapon accidentâ€" ally exploded, the bullet passing ;:hrough the calf of the little fellow‘s eg, Membez of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association. A girl with long Rair. A carriage and pair. ' A woman with a bristle (artificial). A man with long whiskers (real). A lady with long skirts. A gentleman with a silk hat. A barber who lets a customer forâ€" get to pay for his shave. Somebody who is satisfied with the Timmins post office. Anybody who thinks he couldn‘t run a newspaper better than the new;ss papermen at the game. And, rarest of all, anybody doing that same. Mrs, Rese who was outdoors ran inside and found the blood spurtâ€" ing from the injured leg. The little fellow was rushed immediately to Dr. Day‘s hospital at Connaught where the wound was dressed. The accident ocâ€" eurred on Tuesday and the injured lad was taken home Thursday. j Office 26 ‘"‘What is so rare as a day in June?‘‘ asked the ‘poet. _ And the question was asked as if there were no answer. â€" There are many things these days much rarer than all the days of June together. For instance, you many see thirty days in June, but these days do you ever see or know :â€" + THERE ARE RARER THINGS THAN A DAY IN JUNE. Investigation of the accident reâ€" lveale(l that the rifle had been empty and the sixâ€"yearâ€"old lad had gone to the box of cartridges and loaded it himself. It went off, he eclanmms, while he was showing the weapon to his brother. +The parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rese reside on a farm near Porquis Junction, Canada â€" United States Published every Thursday by (1) From left to right :â€"W.

W. B. Thompson, of McGill University, scored the longest jump of 95 feet, but J. Beauvais, of Loyola College, Montreal, was awarded the maximum number of points because of his fine form, although he jumped only 91 feet. Among the university teams taking part in the conâ€" test were McGill, Loyola, Ottawa, Montreal, Yals, and Laval _ Although it ‘was very cold, large crowds turned out to see the contest, three grand stands on the Dufâ€" ferin Terrace being packed.

McBride, 589 Somerset street, who until Saturday was employed by the Fraserâ€"Brace Construction Company. ‘‘Mr. McBride heard also that a man from North Bay and another from Syracuse, N.Y., were among the victims. _ While he had heard that four were drowned in all, Mr, Meâ€" Bride admitted that ‘perhaps there were not more than two. The full list of the missing might not be known for several days.‘ ©‘When Mr. McBride left the comâ€" pany‘s office, he says, he was told that at least four men had been drowned, ilthough Mr. Carter was the only Otâ€" tawa man. At the time he left inâ€" suffeient tiixs had elasped for a checkâ€" ing up of the number of men believed to have been lost. The fatalities occurred as a result if a log bridge across Gordon Creek viving away under pressure of, ice from upstréam, which plunged all the men on it into the iecy water. At that point the river contains a strong curâ€" rent and is about 30 feet wide. ‘‘Mr. McBride knew that Mr. Carâ€" ter was one of the men drowned, beâ€" cause one of the men watching the river for bodies had identified his body in the stream, but due to floatâ€" ing ite and the swift current had been unable to bring it out of the water.

Mrs. Moleski, of ‘the Gillies Lgke section, was arrested last week on charges of eruelty to a sevenâ€"yearâ€" old foster child.. The complaint was laid by Inspector Oscear Kobertson of the Chidren‘s Aid Society, following investigation of reports coming to his attention. The child told the Inâ€" spector that she had been thrashed with a leather whip and subjected to other cruelties, including ‘that of beâ€" ing made to kneel in her bare knees upâ€" on two beans, at the same time holdâ€" ing a milk bottle above her head.

She said she would be kept in this position for an hour. When the Inbpe('tor visited the house the child‘s body was found to be markâ€" ed as though a whip had been used. The woman resented the Inspector‘s visit, and he says she poked him one in the eye. She ran outiside, and the Inspcuor following her found her attempting to get rid of something in the snow. He resecued the artlcle, which proved to be a eruelâ€"looking whip, with a handle of woeod and long leather thong. The youngster said this whip was the one used upon her. The Inspecior laid information aAâ€" cairst the woman and Officer Fulton and Cushing arrested her.
