G. Nixon, agricuitural representaâ€" tive of the Ontario Dept. of Agriculture at New Liskeard, has been confined to the house with a severe attack of inâ€" fluenza, followed by bronchial trouble. rest he denied being with the robbers and refused to give any information as to his companion or companions. Last week, however, while under senterce to ‘be hanged on Friday last, he gave his lawyer information that was supâ€" posed to throw light on the matter and free him from the crime of actually firing the shot that killed Jackson. The man was given a week‘s reprieve and the new evidence was thoroughly investigated. The authoritiee after careful enquiring have decided that the supposed "new evidence" is of no maâ€" terial value and does not alter the case to any degree. Burowski now admits knowing who the men in the motor car were, but claims he did not know anything about their actions on the day of the murder until they picked him up on the road where he was walking. The common feeling will likely be that it does not make much difference wheâ€" ther Burowski fired the fatal shot or not if he was one of the gang. If he was one of the robbers, legally, as well as morally, he is responsible for the crime with the others. It would no doubt be a difficult task to prove beyond a doubt which of the men may have fired the shot that killed Jackson. Even if the shot was a stray one from the guns of the pursuers of the robâ€" bers, the moral responsibility would rest with the robbers who were the cause of the whole trouble. It would be a good thing if Burowski were hanged and his companion or companions also secured and hanged, so there would be no doubt as to the actual murderer securing his deserts, and the incident being a warnâ€" ing to robbers and other malefactors that Canadian law punishes the lawâ€" less. All lines of effort to prevent the hanging of John Burowski at Parry Sound tomorrow for the murder of Thos. Jackson, a farmer who went to the assistance of a couple of men in an automobile stalled in the ditch near Parry Sound, have failed so far and the probabilities are that Burowski will be duly executed when his reprieve, grantâ€" ed last week, expires. According to the police case against him, Burowski was one of the robbers holding up a mail coach on the railway near Parry Sound. They are said to have used a stolen auto to make their escape, but were chased by others in another motor car. The auto in which Burowski was travelâ€" ling according to the police took the ditch and the aid of Mr. Jackson, a farmer residing nearby, was enlisted to draw the car onto the road. In the meantime the pursuing car arrived on the scene and a revolver battle ensued. Mr. Jackson was hit by bullets from the alleged bandits and died as a result of his injuries. After Burowski‘s arâ€" rest he denied being with the robbers BUROWSKI LIKELY WILL BE HANGED TOMORROW In memory of her father, the late Phil Montgomery, of Haileybury, who was a very enthusiastic cunmler, Mrs. Carnegie, acting for herself and her sisters, has presented a handsome new trophy to the Haileybury Curling Club.

At the meeting of the Advisory Inâ€" dustrial Committee in connection with the evening classes at the Timmins High School, Mr. J. W. Treleaven, prinâ€" cipal of the High School, this week subâ€" mitted a report of the classes that shows they are proving useful and sucâ€" cessful this year as in past terms. Mr. Treleaven‘s report shows that the total enrolment this term is 326. The total fsees paid are $858.00, with fees of $39.00 refunded or cancelled. The apparent difference between the number enrolled and the fees paid is explained by Mr. Treleaven‘s report as due to the fact that Mr. Danard‘s class in arithmetic is chiefly made up of students in elecâ€" tricity who had not enough mathemaâ€" tics to carry on with the course in elecâ€" tricity. The classes this term have been wellâ€"attended and regular, Mr. Treleaven reports. He recommends that the class in geology be discontinuâ€" ed, only two taking this course.
