COLD wWEATHER COMING PIGEONS THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO SAYS THE MAN KILLED NEAR COBALT WAS A FORME M.D Investigation by Provincial Police Sug gests Interesting Story in Life of Man â€" Recently Killied Near Cobalt. Last week The Advance made referâ€" ence to the death of John Holmes, a man who was thougsht to be a comâ€" parative stranger to the North, and was fatally injured when struck by a T. N. O. train about eight miles south of Cobalt on Monday afternoon of last week. From investigations made by the provincial police in seeking to learn the whereabouts of any relatives living, references have been made to the dead man suggesting aAan interesting story in regard to his life. pzact-ced there twenty years ago, and also had been in Europe. According to Diliabough, he had been known as Doc¢â€" | tor J. E. Holmes. Dillabough, under | examination by the Inspector, declared | that what he knew of Holmes had been ‘ told him by the latter personally, but some of his statements were so indeâ€" finite that the police were not inclined to accept them without corrobor ation. ‘ Inspector Moore is quoted as saying that Holmes was understood to "have a sister and also a daughter in Richmond Hill, and that it was believed: he had ‘acted as watchman on boat a Midâ€" land last winter. Enquiries are being made in these places with a view of checking up the information received ‘ and further investigation is being made | i in Orillia, where it is reported some deâ€" ‘finite facts relating to Holmes can be 'obt'uned Holmes left Cobalt on the !%Juthbound afterncon passenger train, ah hted at Gillies, and walked south [ on the tracks. He had stated, it is said llL was going to Boocth‘s plant at , South Gillies, but he was a half mile [ | p..st that property when he was str uck mc s se The late John Holmes was about sixâ€" ty years of age, and the police were of the opinion that he was a stranger in the district and that no one here knew anything much about the dead man. Holmes had been working at Cobalt for 2 time, being engaged in pulling down the old mill at the McKinleyâ€"Darragh Mine, but, according to a statement made to Inspector W. T. Moore by Silas Dillabough, who lives in an Argentine street rooming house, and who claims to have known Holmes for the last eisht years, the man killed by the northâ€"bound passenger train had a disâ€" tinguished career in his chosen profesâ€" stion of medicine in Toronto. He had by the engine of the northbound train. He was killed outright. The body of the victim was brought to Cobalt on the same train which ran him down, and identity of the remains was readily established by the police as those of John Holmes. It was at first believed that the man‘s . home had been in Otâ€" tawa and that he had a sister living in Toronto, but the statement of Dillaâ€" bough to the authorities threw a difâ€" ferent light on the matter. Dillabough was questioned about his knowledge of Hoimes by Inspector W. T. Moore on Tuesday evening of last week. On the previous night Dillabough, â€" before Stromberg and Chief N. J. Atkinson, said that he had known Holmes since 1922, and that the man had been a doctor in Toronto 20 years ago, and well up in his profession. His diploma had been cancelled, together with those of other medical men, over their alleged connection with a case involving unâ€" professional conduct, Dillabough said. Subsequently, Holmes enlisted with the that unit. Returning to Canada at the close of the war, Holmes found his wife had died in the interval. In late years he had been in different parts of the province. To the inspector, Dillaâ€" bough said he had first met Holmes at a mill at Krugerdorf, where Hoimes was watchman. According to the same authority, Holmes at different times had been watchman on boats tied up at Midland, but Dillabough could not gives the names of any of the vessels, nor could he tell the police the name of the married daughter Holmes was said to have in Toronto. Dillabough also said Holmes had given him reâ€" lief in some ailment, from which he nad suffered, the police declared, and further that a man named Hart, livâ€" ing in Orillia, could give the authoriâ€" t‘es information regarding him. From Dillabough it was learned, also, it is said, that Holmes had come north by mistake, having been given a ticket for Latchford in error by an agent down country. Holmes, the police learned, had been in this section about a month. Little was known of about him at the boardâ€" ing house of Mrs. Rutter, on Argentine street, where he had been staying, °xâ€" cept that he had been drinking at times. He had been engaged as laâ€" bourer by Frank Boucher at Cobalt for a period of time, and on Monday mornâ€" ing was paid his wages, $38 in all. Subsequently, wearing new boots, he boarded the afternoon train south, but apparently left it at Gillies and walked down the tracks toward Latchford. He was struck by the locomotive haulâ€" ing the Cochrane local north, at a point more than two miles from Lacthford. Conductor James Gillies and Engineer William Ross were in charge of the To the police, the engineer said that when the train was travelling north at about 35 miles an hour, he saw Holmes walking on the tracks as the locomoâ€" tive rounded a curve. He blew the whistle, ‘but the man paid no attention, and he then applied the brakes. Holmes was struck before the train could be stopped and thrown into the ditch, his body being badly mutilated. The time then would be about three o‘clock. then would be about three o‘clock. The man‘s body was picked up and brought to Cobalt, where search of his clothing by the police revealed $22. 15 in cash, but nothing that threw any light on his identity at that time. H. G. Fin‘land, pilotâ€"geologist of the Consolidated Mining and Smeilting field staff, lost 12 days in the Barrens, was rescued last week. He was located south of Reindeer Lake, where he had been obliged to come down on account of fuel shortage. Six planes were enâ€" gaged in the search, which was successâ€" fully terminated when a smoke signal was observed by Pilot J. Ready, of the Royal Canadian Air Force. The lost pilot declared that the territory in which he and his Indian guide were down was poor hunting country, no game having been shot. The lost men suffered somewhat from hunger, but were otherwise in good condition when found. The Noranda, Quebec, edition of The Northern News last week says:â€""What might have been a serious accident ocâ€" curred at the Horne smelter shortly before 5 o‘clock on Thursday afternoon, when one of the units of the coal pulâ€" verizer caught fire and exploded. The blast, which was plainly heard for some distance from the smelter, fortunately did but little damage. Windows in the building housing the pulverizer were shattered, and the top of a ventilator | was blown several hundred feet away. Men employeed in the building, foreseeâ€" ing the danger made hurried exits, no person was injured. Despite every effort taken by Noranda Mines officials to prevent such accidents, the coal pulâ€" verizing units have been affected by similar blasts. Two such accidents have previously occurred and in one of these men empolyed in the coal plant were blown through the windows and | were seriously injured. From the coal pulverizer fire began to spread along pipes leading to the main building of the | smelter, but due to prompt action by the mines‘ fire department, were quickâ€" ly extinguished by chemicals. The damaged parts of the units were quickâ€" ly repaired and normal operations reâ€" sumed in a few hours. An incident in connection with the accident was the comment of one of . the Noranda town fire department, that after attempting for a year and a half to obtain two disâ€" tinctive whistles for the mine and for the town the wrong whistle was blown on this occasion, the first fire. It apâ€" peared later that good judgment was shown in this regard as the man in charge of the whistles, realizing that it was nearly five o‘clock figured that if the mine whistle was blown employees of the mine would believe quitting time had come and leave the property." .0oO8T FLIER FOUND LAST WEEK NEAR REINDEER LAKE FAMOUS GOLF COURSE AT THE SHERRITTâ€"GORDON MIN Tho solf courss at the Sherrittâ€"Gorâ€" | don Mine in Northern Manitoba has achieved some special fame by being referred to so often as the farthest north golf course in the world, though this title has been disputed on more than one occasion though with indifâ€" ferent success. Atâ€" any event the course is far enough from other golf courses to be of more than passing inâ€" terest. Readers of The Advance ma.yI be pleased to read the description of | the: course given by the "Grab Samâ€" ples" column of The Northern Miner recently. This paragraph in The Norâ€" thern Miner says:â€""A glimpse of the Sherrittâ€"Gordon golf course would give a professional the "heebie jeebies." It is nine hole, cut right through the bush. If you ever get off the fairway you are just minus a ball, that‘s all, The "greens‘" are level spaces of sand. The tees are on a raiSsed platform surroundâ€" ed by a log cribbing. You drive and trust to the god of golfers to keep you out of the bush. The fairway is full of stumps, roots and rocks, and when you arrive at your ball you estimate the chances of getting over a stump, saYy, and if you consider you are completely stymied you have the privilege, by the local ground rules, of moving the ball to left or right. One beautiful thing about it is that you don‘t have to reâ€" place stump divots. In fact the more stumps you knock out the better the ground keeper likes you. The course looks impossible, but in actual trial it is not too bad. Scottie Walker, a proâ€" fessidnal who visited the property, tried it out and made the nine holes in 32. It just goes to show that you can‘t stump a good golfer. The mine stafl are keen about the game and they use the course a great deal. It is a godâ€" send to them in the long summer evenâ€" ings, they say." (London Nation) It is curious how rarely, even by chance, men do endow their words. their inventions,, or their actions with their names. It seems that such an immortality is more easily earned in the world of action. It is better to burke a man, to lynch him, or to guilâ€" La A sc lotine him, to provide him with a brougham or a hansom and a macadam road to ride on, if you would have your name become dictionary word.

OoF THE COAL PULVERIZERS EXPLODES AT NORANDA MINE HOW TO BE ANTIâ€"SUICIDE SOCIETY IMMORTAL KIRKLAND LAKE CHINAMAN CONVICTED ON DRUG CHARGE At Kirkland Lake Hong Gem, a cooX at the Royal Cafe, was found guilty by magistrate Atkinson on a charge of having opium illegally and the miniâ€" mum penalty was improsed, being a fine of $200.00 and costs and six months imprisonment. He will be deported at the end of the term. A detective of the R. C. M. P., together with another Dominion officer and a provincial poâ€" liceman, told of waiting at the cafe until Hong Gem came in when they searched him and found two decks of opium in his watch pocket. Search of Hong Gem‘s room disclosed severaA: ; papers similar to those in which the opium was carried. All the pockets _of the suit had been searched. The defence was based on the idea that the opium had been "planted" by anâ€" other cook who had threatened to gatl even with Hong Gem. When crossâ€" examined Hong Gem admitted that | he had used opium four or five years ago. He also admitted that hf:' had been convicted previcusly convicted for having opium. He denied, however, knowing anything about the decks found on him and suggested that the missing cook had planted the opium ‘on him to get him into trouble. He hac no idea where this missing cock was at present, but in his evidence showed! how easy it would be for this man to plant the drug in his clothes, having acâ€" to his: ‘roont: and so on.., ‘The proprietor of the cafe said he did not use the darug himself and had never seen Hong Gem use it. He also told about the trouble between the two cooks who had not been able to get along. Ancther Chinaman told of the missing cook saying that there was going to be trouble for Hong Gem. He had also noticed three packets, similar to the decks, drop out of the pants of the missing cock on one occasion. The Crown Atorney, F. L. Smiley, pointed | out that the alibi while wellâ€"framed was a very improbable one and the other evidence pointed to the guilt of the accused. The magistrate evidentâ€" : l 1y agreed with this view and imposed | the penalty referred to at the opening | of this item. f en mss smm on s n mm mm + â€"= ® 4 The Detroit News says "It is reported that Dieudonne Coste had nc mongy when he left Paris.
