Mr. and Mrs. Eplett, of New Lisâ€" ard, visited their son here, Mr. Eplett: returning to New Liskeard on Friday and Mrs, Eplett going home again this week. | After the drive the crowd assemâ€" bled at the Oddfellows‘ Hall, and an enjoyable evening was spent in daneâ€" ing. The Club Orchestra furnished the best of music. Refreshments were served, these as usual being an enjoyable part of the evening‘s proâ€" gramme. The committee in charge of the drive was Messrs Joe Jacobs and A. W. Pickering. After lunch Mr. J. M. Belanger anâ€" nounced that next week would be regular night, and on Wednesday, March 3rd, it is the intention to hold an Open Night, an admission fee of $1.00 per couple will be charged the visitors. ROUGH STUFF REPORTED / AROUND COCHRANE ARE in jail. One man is held on the charge of: knocking the eye out of a friend and blmdmo him. Another is held in eustody to face a charge of stabbing. Two others are in jail acâ€" cused of knocking down and about an old man and his son and then burning down their shack. In fairness to Cochrane (and also to prevent The Cochrane Post from deeds of violence) it is well to state that none of these men charged are Cochrane people; they all come from the district round about. ~ In conclusion it may be noted that there has been another murder in the district but the murderâ€" er has not yet been proved gmlty, though there are hopes. There was just a fair crowd preâ€" sent for the annual sleigh drive of the A. S. D. Club held last night from the Oddfellows‘ Hall here. Two sleighs were all that were needed to take the members assembled at the hall at eightâ€"thirty.. The sleighs left for South Porecupine. There was a report in outside newsâ€" papers to the effect that Sheriff Jack Mackey had wired south for coal tellâ€" ing them to be sure and ship some at once as he was afraid otherwise that three murderers he had on hand might freeze to death before he had n chance to hang them. Like much of the stuff published in the outside newsâ€" papers about the North, this was somewhat exaggerated. Sheriff Macâ€" kay hasn‘t even a single murderer to try his prentice hanging hand upon at present. At Cochrane these days, however, there is an unusual lineâ€"up ANNUAL SLEIGH RIDE PARTY OF THE A. S. D. CLUB. Mr. and Mrs. Solomon East were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. King last week while on their wedâ€" ding trip, leaving later for their new home in narthâ€"eastern Alberta where they have a large ranch and will enâ€" gage in mixed farming. Mrs. East was formerly a popular Timmins girl, being Miss Margaret Peters, daughter of the late Mr. H. Peters and Mrs. Peters. Her sister, Mrs. E. H. King, gave a very pleasant bridge party and shower last Friday in honour of the bride, about thirty being present and a very enjoyable time being spent by all. The bride was the recipient of many beautiful and valuable gifts, as well as the best wishes of hosts of friends here.

While the Juniors won, it was only by the close score of 6â€"5, and they had to earn their victory. The match was interesting throughout, and all the boys played well. _ For Schumacher Patsy Parker, the old warâ€"horse, starred, scoring three of the five goals. Mr. J.

In reporting the decision of Judge Caron in regard to the municipal elecâ€" tion protest case, The Toronto Teleâ€" eram on Saturday last says :â€"â€" REGRET PUTTING TOWN TO EXPENSE OF ELECTION Nat ‘‘After hearing evidence from both sides relating to the alleged irregularities in connection with the municipal elections for the town of Timmins, held December 7th last, His Honour Judge Caron ordered the elecâ€" tion reéepealed and another election held. In giving judgment His Honour made it clear that his decision was based on technical points of law rather than on any belief or supposiâ€" ion that there had been a ‘‘conspiraâ€" cy‘‘ to defeat the purpose of the Municipal Act. He found that acâ€" cording to the evidence at least two provisions of the statute had been vioâ€" lated. There had not been sufficient polling booths provided for the pulblic on election day. Certain ratepayers had been disqualified illegally on acâ€" count of the date of election having been set back. His Honour found that any ratepayer who had paid his taxes and was not in arrears as of Deâ€" cember 1l4th, 1924, should have been allowed to vote. Charges that corrupâ€" tion had been resorted to on the part of the 1924 council were thrown out by the judge. Such illegalities ocâ€" curred in many municipalities, he said. It so happened that this year in Timmins a case had been made of the irregularities. He regretted the necessity of having to put the town to the expense of another election.‘‘ It will be of general interest to know that recently a number of Mason and Risch pianos were purchased for the Vatican, Rome, Italy. That the product of this Canadian firm should be gelected for use at St. Peter‘s, Rome, is a decided proof of the high merit of these Canadianâ€"made pianos and adds to their already high reputaâ€" tion. .
