A mericatr GOES BACK T0 WALES 10 FAGE SERIOUS CHARGES ‘*Arrested in ‘Timmins on Octoâ€" ber 18th, under the Fugitive Offenâ€" ders‘ Act, Evan Owen Williams, aged 26, quarry miner, faced Magisâ€" trate Atkinson in police court here on Monday morning and was reâ€" manded for the required fifteen days pending his return to his native Wales to face serious charges preâ€" ferred against him by a girl under sixteen years of age. He was conâ€" fronted with overâ€"a dozen sheets of sixteen years ol agfe. F16 was fronted with overâ€"a dozen sheets of typewritten evidence, attested to in his home country of Carnarvon, and two warrants for his arrest isâ€" sued over the seal of the Home Seâ€" cretary of Great Britain. The acâ€" cused was apprehended ‘by Staff Sergeant Miller, of the R.C.M.P,, after ‘being traced through the medium of steamboat and railway lines to Timmins, where he had seâ€" cured employment at one of the mines. When Williams was located, a provisional warrant was secured in Timmins, pending ‘the endorsaâ€" tion of the warrants from the Old Country by a Justice of the High Court. He was remanded to the district jail here until Monday, when the warrants were returned here signed by Justice Orde at Toronto. The defence offered by Williams was that he could produce a ‘‘numâ€" ber of men‘‘ who would prove that he was somewhere else at the time the crimes were alleged to have been committed. Magistrate _ Atkinson told him that he would have fifteen days to secure the services of counâ€" sel and prepare his defence if he wished to fight the deportation proâ€" ceedings. The â€" evidence produced went to show that the aceused had been intimate with two girls, one at his home town of Penygroes, the other at a nearby town, the name of which is Llanllyfini. He left with the Penygroes girl on August 2nd last and, after stopping with an aunt in Liverpool, they sailed for Canada Preliminary Trail Last Week at Haileybury of Young Man Forâ€" merly Residing in Timmins A couple of weeks ago reference was made to the arrest here by a Dominion officer of : Evan OQOwens Williams on a charge originating in Wales. The young man was taken to Haileybury and on Monday of last week he was given a preliminâ€" ary hearing before Magistrate Atâ€" kinson. In connection with the hearing, The Haileyburian last week on August 5th. Enquiries on this side have brought out the fact that they were married after reaching this country. The girl drew the sum of £160 from the Midland Bank at Penygroes making the withdrawals on two separate occasâ€" ions, and it is supposed that it was her savings that paid their passages to Canada. She is at. present in Timmins. _ The whole case is of a somewhat unusual nature in this part of the country. It is the first of its kind to come before Magisâ€" trate Atkinson in his experience as police magistrate. The case shows that there are some points of differâ€" ence between our Canadian laws and those in Britain, particularly in the ages of the parties concerned. Birth certificates were enclosed with the evidence, showing that the aceused was over the age of 23 and that the complainant was under 16 and over thirteen. _ Evidence of the parents of the girl and of the superintendâ€" ent of police of the country of Carâ€" narvor was included and the whole affair had apparently been carefully handled. The comparatively â€" short time that elapsed between the aceusâ€" ed leaving England and his appreâ€" hension here is evidence of the farâ€" reaching effect of the present day laws of both countries.‘"‘ Toronto _ Globe:â€" South African flag useful effect at least was cearried into the it would confuse t whether he was opp« United States or per to _ G@obe:â€"‘The _ proposed African flag would have a ffeet at least the first time it ried into the battlefield, for d confuse the enemy as to he was opposing Japan, the States or perchance Uruguay. ‘‘The demand for labour still exâ€" ceeds the supply in Sudbury District.

The story of this great financial inâ€" stitution is one of the epics of Caâ€" nadian history, worhy of a place among the records of such other inâ€" stitutions as the C.P.t., the Bell Telephone and other g'reat houses and firms.

This litâ€" tle booklet is illustrated ‘by several attractive drawings, showing bank buildings past and present, as well as one showing the monument to Sieur de Maissonneuve at Montreal and one depicting the memorial at the head office in memory of the men in the service of the bank who fell in the Great War. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO LABOUR SHORTAGE NOW IN SUDBURY DISTRICT Reference was made a week or so ago to a shortage of labour in the Sudbury district.

Mrs. Philippe Crotean of the Abitibi district was decorated with the * Merite Agricole"" by the Proâ€" vinecial Government of Quebec.

J. E. Perâ€" rault, Provincial Minister of Colonâ€" ization, Mines and Fisheries, before the Canadian Alliance for Women‘s Votes in Quebec. The minister told the whole story of Mrs. Croteau‘s struggles to provide a living for her 13 children after the death of her husband, and held her life and works before the eyes of all the woâ€" men as one of the finest examples of heroism this province has seen. In July, 1916, she reached Amos, sought out the 300 acres her sons had taken, and set to work to build a home and a farm. It was first necessary to clear the land, of â€" unmerchantable _ timber, clean out the debris from the forest, pull up stumps and start farming in NOTABLE RECOGNITION FOR AMOS WOMAN BV QUEBEC a small clearing and overcome every other obstacle that faces the colonâ€" ist.

Realizing that this fortune had not been gained without great effort, the Provinkial Government decoratâ€" ed Mrs. Croteau with the highest honour in its power to bestow, and she takes her place, Mr. Perrault concluded, with the great women of Canada‘s history.
