By Cattaâ€" rello‘s Rintaâ€"nohka seeing a number of men around wanted witness to let go his hand for fear there might be cops who would see them. He walked the rest of the way to Wally‘s all right and when they knocked at the door Mrs. Wally let them in and the three of them went up to Rintaâ€"nohka‘s room and were talking there. On the way over he said that the prisoner said something about getting some money from Mrs. Wally. When they were in Rintaâ€"nohka‘s room Mrs. Wally came and told them there were men trying to sleep who had to go to work in the morning so she asked Niemi and Kuâ€" pila to go, and told Rintaâ€"nohka he had better go to bed. When they got about fifty metres from Wally‘s Rintaâ€" nohka came after them, calling "Wait for me." When he got to them he said Mrs. Wally wouldn‘t give him any money and asked them if they had any, witness said. Kupila told him he had little but that they had better go to sleep so they could go to work in the morning. With that he started hitting Kupila, who stepped out of the way every time he hit. Niemi was standingl there and said "What do you want?" Rintaâ€"nohka said "I want what I want" and started hitting Niemi.

St. Paul, foreman, Stan Pearce, W. Fairhurst, T. Wilson, G. W. Rayner, E. J. Rapsey, F. Farrant, O. Henderson, Lou Taylor, Maxwell Smith, L. Sauder and Firth. The first witness called was Dr. J. D. Kinsman, of the Dome hospital, who stated that Niemi was brought to the hospital sometime around ten on Sunday night and was unconscious. It could not be definitely decided just at once whether his conâ€" dition was due to the wound or to intoxication but he was put to bed and given the usual treatment for an unconscious man. For three hours there was no change then he became worse and died at four o‘clock Monâ€" day morning. Assisted by Dr. W. Mcâ€" Laren, of South Porcupine, he made a postâ€"mortem examination on Monday afternoon. The fatal wound was 2 very cleanâ€"cut one over the left temple and had pierced through the skin and skull into the brain, and there had been considerable hemorrhage into the brain substance. It must have requirâ€" ed considerable force to strike the blow and he judged that it was done with sharp knife. The cause of death was hemorrhage into the brain substance causing pressure on the vital centres. Dr. McLaren, being called next, corroâ€" borated Dr. Kinsman‘s testimony. The next witness called was Eino Kupila, the only known eyeâ€"witness of the traâ€" gedy. He required an interpreter. He stated he roomed at Mrs. Manner‘s Finnish Boarding House but boarded at Frank Maki‘s. Julius Niemi, the dead man, both roomed and boarded at Maki‘s place. He had known Niemi for five years but had only known Rintaâ€"nohka a few days. He had gone up to Maki‘s to eat, then had been in and out of there several times during the evening, and had seen Niemi now and again all evening. Outside Maki‘s he claimed some of them were talking with Rintaâ€"nohkaâ€"*"talking fun"â€"but that Rintaâ€"nohka was getting serious, when he said:â€"*"Don‘t get mad over joking, Rintaâ€"nohka." Rintaâ€"nohka then wanted to wrestle but he (the witness) didn‘t want to, knowing what Rintaâ€"nohka was like,â€"wanting a bigâ€" ger wrestle. Witness said the place was too small so Rintaâ€"nohka suggestâ€" ed the road and grabbed witness‘ sweater. Witness gave him a shove saying it might get too serious and Rintaâ€"nohka fell. He told him he was "tight" and wanted to take him to his room, which the prisoner stated was On Sunday evening on Bloor avenue just northeast of Crawford street, what! appeared to be a drunken brawl took ; place, as the result of which one man is dead from a supposed knifeâ€"wound | in his head and another man is held | for trial with a charge of murderl hanging over him.

Burwell, of schumacher, swallowed a 2â€"inch nail and had to be taken to Toronto for an operation for the removal of the obstruction. This was the first case of the kind in the camp and at once the doctors here secured a special form of instrument to use in such cases. This instrument is known as a bronchoscopic forceps. By the use of this new instrument it was possible to remove the safety. pin without inâ€" jury to the child. The youngster had picked up an ordinary mediumâ€"sized safety pin and before it was noticed had managed to get the pin in its mouth and swallow it. It stuck in the oesophagus, the pasage leading from the mouth to the stomach. It was about opposite the top of the heart. On account of the fact that the pin was open, it did not pass through inâ€" to the stomach. An Xâ€"ray was taken and the exact position of the pin deâ€" termined. Dr. A. W. Wright, of Schuâ€" macher, performed the operation, and Dr. Robson gave the anaesthetic. Dr. Robson was able to grip the open point of the pin with the bronchoscopic forceps and to withdraw the safety pin without injury to the child.

This deâ€" cision was reached this week so that the V.C.N. Tag Day would not conâ€" fiict with other worthy calls upon the public at this time. Last week there was a canvass of the business part of the town for the sale of wreaths made by the disabled soldiers and on Satâ€" urday last there was the annual Poppy Day event. This week the District Children‘s Aid Society is putting on its canvass for funds to wipe out inâ€" debtedness on the Shelter account and to provide for the carrying on of the work for the ensuing year on a budget plan. The V.O.N. felt that to proâ€" ceed with their tag day on Saturday would be to overburden the public with calls for finances at this time. Accordingly the tag day was deferred to a later date to be decided upon at a future meeting. The V.O.N. is a cause well worthy of support, providâ€" ing as it does special nursing serâ€" vice at rates that are especially reaâ€" sonable and in case of need without charge at all. Since its establishment here the V.ON. has done excellent work in the public service, and no doubt will rdceive generous support from the public when the annual apâ€" peal for funds to carry on is made. VIGTORIAN DRDER NURSES TAG DAY 1§ POSTPONED All interested in the progress of the town and the general welfare should make a special point of attending the meeting of the Timmins Board of Trade on Tuesday evening next, Nov. 20th. in the town hall, Tiix)mins. The first aid box N roadway near the Hollinger was rifict on Tuesâ€" day evening, all the contents being taken away. After stealing all the supplies in the box the miscreants reâ€" sponsible locked up the box again and hung the key in its place. The theft of the supplies from this box was a particularly mean form of crime. The St. John Ambulance Brigade, Timmins Division, secured the boxes from the Old Country and had them erected for the benefit of the public in case of acâ€" cident. The SJ.A.B. sees that the boxes are kept filled, and they have depended upon the public to use good sportsmanship in using the boxes. To have these boxes of first aid equip ment and supplies convenient nmay mean the saving of a life or lives in case of accident. In any evident the boxes afford convenience and comfort in case of any accidents on the road. The rifling of one of these boxes is acâ€" cordingly a contemptible type of crime. The police have been informâ€" ed of the mean theft and it is hoped that the guilty party or parties will be brought to book and fittingly punishâ€" ed for their meanness and their unâ€" necessary endangering of the public. All the earmarks of the theft point to the work of some adult who wished to secure supplies and was willing to take even this mean way to secure On Account of Other Calls on the Pub lic at Present, V.O.N. Defers Its Tag Day.

Langdon has called a special meeting of the Timmins Board of Trade to be held in the town hall or Tuesday evening next, Noy. 20th, at 8 pm. Mr. Langdon is especiâ€" ally anxious for a large and represenâ€" tative meeting on this occasion, as it is particularly desired to arrange to have a strong deputation go down from Timmins to the annual meeting of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade which will be held at New Lisâ€" keard on the following Tuesday, Nov. 27th. The annual meeting of the Asâ€" sociated Boards of Trade is of imporâ€" tance to all the towns of the North but Timmins should take special inâ€" terest in the meeting for several reaâ€" sons. work of the Timmins Board of Trade has been greatly facilitatea by the Associated Boards of Trade in the past and this benefit can be further increased if Timmins itself will take the fullest interest.

There were about 50 assisting in the sale of the poppies, and few escaped opportunity on Saturday for the buying of a poppy to aid the soldiers. The prize winner in the sale of poppies was Miss Vivian Ray, who collected $50.65. The next three highest in collections were:â€"Mrs. Elms, Schumacher, $49.00; Mrs. D. Bough, Timmins, $48.75; Mrs. J. G. Harris, Schumacher, $27.45. A number of boys and girls assisted the ladies in the sale of the poppies and there is general appreciation by the Ladies‘ Auxiliary and by the Legion for the fine effort made by all, and for the public response. CAMPAIGN IN PROGRESS FOR DISTRICT CHILDREN‘S AID The Ladies‘® Auxiliary of the Timâ€" mins Post of the Canadian Legion had full charge of the annual sale of wreaths and poppies here and made an outstanding success of the effort. The total received from the sale of poppies on Saturday last was $805.50, while for the wreaths the total was $350.00, The wreaths and poppies were made by the disabled soldiers in Toronto and so the sales benefitted these soldiers. The balance of the amount collected goes to the Benevoâ€" lent Fund of the Timmins Legion to be used for the assistance of any reâ€" turned men in need here. Last year $600.00 was expended in this way. For the coming year, thanks to the good work of the Ladies‘ Auxiliary, there will be a fund of around $900.00. This is much better than last year and reâ€" flects the highest credit on the Ladies‘ Auxiliary and the energetic and capaâ€" ble helpers who sold the wreaths and did the selling of the poppies. The Legion is grateful to the ladies for their excellent work and the Ladies‘ Auxiliary is very thankful to the workâ€" ers and to the public for the success achieved. The wreaths were sold to merchants for window display purposes and to the public for placing on the cenotaph or displaying in stores or houses on Armistice Day. The following members of the Ladies‘ Auxiliary gave untiring service in the sale of wreaths, their generous contribution of time and efâ€" fort being much appreciated:â€"Mrs. L. McLauchlan, president; Mrs. D. Maxâ€" well, Mrs. W. A. Devine, Mrs. A. J. Shragge and Mrs. D. Bough, of Timâ€" mins; and Mrs. J. G. Harris and Mrs. Elms, of Schumacher.

MEETING OF SCOTTISH MEMBERS OF THE MASON®S A feature of the event was the preâ€" sence of fifty or more veterans of the Italian Army, now in Timmins. Many of these wore their service ribbons. They also carried Italian flags of speâ€" clal beauty. President Harrison exâ€" pressed the general pleasure at the presence Of this large group of Italiâ€" ans soldiersâ€"*"gallant men of an Allied nation who had given such splendid service to the cause overseas."

Hornâ€" by, an Imperial Army veteran, this touching number being followed by the two minutes of silence at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, in affectionate memory of the noble dead. The big crowd stood for the two minutes in silence and with bared and bowed heads. "Reveille" was then played by Buâ€" gler Hornby, after which the band played, "Onward, Christian Soldiers," followed by the National Anthem, in which all joined. At the cenotaph there was a brief but very impressive service. Dr. Harâ€" rison, president of the Timmins Post of the Legion, was in charge of the memorial services. The band played in very effective way, "Abide With Me." After this there was a brief address by Mayor E. L. Longmore, who spoke of the evil of ingratitude and urged that all see that the returned men who had done so much for the cause of righteâ€" ousness should not be neglected now. The playing of another hymn by the Band was followed by a brief address by Mr. Austin Neame, viceâ€"president of the Legion, who spoke of the memâ€" orials throughout the world to the honour of the million British soldiers who had given their lives for the Emâ€" pire and the right. "Can there be more potent advocates for peace through. the years to come than these massed muititudes of silent witnesses to the desolation of war?" he said in referâ€" ring to the memorial services held throughout the world on Armistice Day. At tenâ€"thirty in the morning the gathering assembled at the athletic grounds and headed by the Timmins Citizens Band marched to the cenoâ€" taph. After the ceremonies at the cenotaph the parade reâ€"formed in orâ€" derly way and marched back to the athletic grounds to disperse.

The observance of Armistice Day im Timmins was one of the most impresâ€" sive events held in this North for many a year. The perfect way in which all arrangements were carried out reflectâ€" ed the greatest credit on the officers of the Canadian Legion who had charge for the occasion. There were over 150 members of the Legion in the line of march and this number was augument by veterans of the Italian Army and other groups and individuals There were fully two thousand people attending the event on Sunday.
