A social evening is to be given on Saturday evening this wek, May 25th, in honour of the artists who generousâ€" ly assisted the Timmins Citizens‘ Band in the band concerts during the past season. The event will be held in the Oddfellows‘ hall and will be featured by music, dancing, buffet lunch and other pleasures. The Cochrane Northland Post last week says:â€"*"Some 25 wild ducks on Commando Lake one morning this week provided many of the townspeoâ€" ple an interesting sight, until frightened away by a boy with catapult. This action on the part of the boy shows a lamentable lack of sportsmanship and had the party who observed the culprit his hands on the culprit at the time, his hands on the pulprit at the time, retributive measure of a stern and painful nature would have been then and there meted cut to him." cuff on his wrist after he had escaped from custody, developed gangrene in the wrist from the injury caused by the handcuff. Medical attention, however, saved the situation and the old gentleâ€" man is making excellent recovery. Weather permitting, the open air concerts of the Timmins Citizens‘ Band will be started at a early date now. It is the intention to hold one of these cpen air band concerts each week durâ€" ing the summer season as in past years. Word from Hornepayne is to the efâ€" fect that Louis Dauphine, the 80â€"yearâ€" old man, who surrendered himself to the police because he could no longer stand the pain of a "slipâ€"notch" handâ€" Mrs. Ira Graham and Miss Ada Graâ€" ham left on Saturday for Nova Scotia where they will take up residence. They will be much missed by wide circles of friends here and there were many exâ€" pressions of regret at their removal from town and good wishes for their happiness and success in their new loâ€" ecation, which is their old home before coming to the North where the family spent many years. Prior to leaving, Miss Graham was presented with an address and a token of appreciation by the Y.P.S. of the United Church of which society she had been the secreâ€" tary for some time. Modern life appears to present all sorts of new dangers. For instance read this from The North Bay Nugget last week:â€""A filling station for cigarâ€" ette lighters exploded on Wednesday night about seven o‘clock in the cigar store operated on Klock avenue by Frank Garrat. Flames from an autoâ€" matic cigar lighter were responsible for the explosion. Miss Robena McKenzie, clerk, smothered the blaze, receiving slight burns to her hands, but after receiving medical trreatment, was able to resume her duties, The fire departâ€" ment was summored, and the blaze without much louss." The two leading questions asked in Timmins recently have been:â€""Did you ever see such weather?" and "When is the railway going to be built to Kamiskotia?" Mrs. Thomas O‘Leary left on Thursâ€" day for Toronto to visit her sister. Later on Mrs. O‘Leary intends to go to Detroit for a visit there. Mr. A. G. Carson, superintendent of the District C.AS., was a visitor to Cochrane this week on business in conâ€" nection with the society‘s work. There were no less than four comâ€" mon assault cases before the police court at Kirkland Lake, the rows arisâ€" ing from neighbourly quarrels.

The Northern Tribune, of Kapuskasâ€" ing, last week says:â€""Miss Rose Tremâ€" blay, who has been visiting friends in Timmins for the past few weeks has returned to town." Mrs. N. Cameron, who for some months past has been on the staff of the C.A.S. Shelter, was called to Winâ€" nipeg this week owing to the serious illness of her mother. Mrs. Cameron and little daughter, May, left on Sunâ€" day for the West. There is very widespread interest in Canada in the results of the elections in Great Britain. As a matter of fact, there are many bets and pools mare reâ€" cently in Timmins in regard to the Briâ€" tish election results and that is a sure sign that interest is more than usually keen. Nobody bets when they they don‘t know and don‘t care what hapâ€" pens. It is when interest is at hish point and pecple are anxious to have affairs turn out a certain way that bets are most frequent along a certain line. Some folks bet to back their opinion only, while others back their opinion with bets. It amounts to much the same thing in the end. Many bet on the side they wish to win, rather than on any knowledge in the matter. There is at least one man in town with a bet up on the British elections who had no idea of the standing of the parties in the House before dissolution. It is chiefly for this reader‘s information that this paragraph is published. The standing in the House of Commons at dissolution, including vacancies, was as follows:â€" Conservatives ... uie stt Labor . i ns 2308 Liberal . i Indenpendent Te 4 STANDING OF THE PARTIES IN BRITISH PARLIAMENT Dr. McBain was up from Kirkland Lake during the weekâ€"end and drove his car back to Kirkland Lake, having bad stops, the worst, perhaps, being the other side of Golden City.

Styles of The Renâ€" frew Mercury staff that the meanest man on eartn is the fellow who will steal poultry. In a recent issue of The Mercury W. J. S. writes:â€". "We are told that there are men mean enough to steal sheep. Why should there be any special meanness about this form of robbery can be exâ€" The hardest bout the referee had during the whole fistic combat was when "Jiggs" and "Dinty Moore" apâ€" peared in person for two oneâ€"minute rounds. When the referee made , exâ€" amination of the gloves and bandages he found that Jiggs had a track spike in one glove and spavin pads, as used for Clydesdale horses, on his wrists. Dinty Moore had his gloves loaded with lead shot and was using barbed wire for lacing. Matters were adjusted to the satisfaction of the referee, instrucâ€" tions given and both men of renown repaired to their respective corners where they assigned themselves to the better judgment of their able seconds, Albert Bert and Mr. Bert Albert. Orn the sound of the gong for the first round Jiggs tried to slip out of the ring, and in fact did most of his fighting from outside the ropes. Dinty Mnore plained perhaps through the fact that identification of sheep is difficult. Like ‘coon coats they all look alike,. A meaner man perhaps is he who steals baby chicks, all of which look alike, no matter what the breed, and of breeds there are many. Up at Barryvaei. aâ€" cross the lake from Calabogie, no fewer than 232 chickens were stolen the other night, and the Hon. Fred Hayward can recall no meaner or no more contempâ€" tible robbery than the burlarizing of his tonsorial parlors a few years ago, when a return visit was paid. The bady chicks were taken away by persons who no doubt intend to raise them, and it may be that they will be introduced to birds of another generation, for once before the same premises were visited by some person or persons travelling under the light of the moon. Here would be a case for police dogs or some other kind of dogs, or it may be that a bear trap would be better. Some of us would fain be hanging around with a shotgun in hand. We feel sure that we could wound without wounding mortalâ€" ly; also that we could tame without maining."

Mickey Watts, the fighting Welshâ€" man, who meets "Dutch" Henry Johnâ€" son, of Timmins, at the skating rink on June 3rd gave a twoâ€"round exhibition with his sparring partner, "Handsome" Pat McGuire, of Glasgow. Watts made an impression with the crowd, but it is generally conceded that he will have his hands full to win a decision over Johnson. "Handsome" Pat McGuire went good with the crowd, and looks like the first real match for Arthur Leonard in years when these boys meet at the rink on May 24th. 100 lbs.â€"Wilfred Barette wins from Henry McKinnon. 120 lbssâ€"Jack Robinson Wwins from Eino Aho. 125 lbs.â€"Harold Wallingford win: from Freddie Godin. 130 lbs.â€"Victor Banning wins from Vincent Killeen. 105 lbs.â€"Leonard Wadsworth wins from Donald Plauss. 110 lbs.â€"William Shalest wins from Hector McKinnon. 135 lbs.â€"Gaston Lyrette wins from Donald McLaughlin.

The following is a lineâ€"up of the re sults of the night‘s entertainment:â€" The novice bouts all created a great deal of interest and excitement. A class of 28 boys climbed into the ring during the novice bouts and each and everyone stood out as a modrl of health. Their bodies showed the result of good training under supervision of experienced handlers. Their exhibiâ€" tion of the pugilistic art also reflected credit on those in charge. The referee, Mr. Jack Faithful took occasion to adâ€" dress the patrons and compliment the trainers and management for the exâ€" cellent results shown with the classes presented. Another feature bout of the evening was when Mickey Watts, of Pridgend, Wales, gave a twoâ€"round exhibition with his sparring partner, ‘"Handsome Pat" McGuire, the Glasgow longshoreâ€" man. Watts is training hard for his coming fight on June 3rd at the Timâ€" mins skating rink with Timmins‘ own favourite, "Dutch" Henry Johnson. pulled him inside the ring and hit him and kicked him. Referee Jack Faithâ€" ful tried to stop the bout but the both turned on him and he figured that disâ€" lcretion was the better part of valour, and on went the fight. Jiggs wound up a haymaker about three inches from the canvas and let go at Dinty. Dinty kissed the rosin and at the count of nine the gong saved him from a knockâ€" out. With the use of ammonia and Timmins water, which is thicker than lblood. the two sons of the owld 54d I wer.e restored to normalcy and were on their toes, back to back for the second 'round. Dinty went to shake hands with Jiggs, but Jiggs pulled a fast one into Dinty‘s hot dog vest, and laid Dinty cold. Jiggs went into shadow po ‘Ing at this point and knocked himâ€" self o /¢. Both took the count of ten and Jack Faston with an eye to bustâ€" ness cleared ring. Both judges disâ€" agreed and the réferee awarded the bout to Whoopee McGirk who was not present in person.
