(signed), Presidentâ€"F. M. Wallingford. Secretaryâ€"S. G. Fowler. In the above letter The Advance has only omitted some references advocate ing the Ratepayers' Association. In this matter the Ratepayers’ Associa- tion, or at least a part of the associa- Lon, unrebuked by the rest, does not seem to have played fair in this mat- ter. It seems like the most unfair and unwarranted partizanshlp to suggest that there was anything irregular about the recent election, and especially to do so without any investigation. To claim, as the Ratepayers' Association apparently does, that they investigated the charges is far from being frank. Apparently there was no attempt what- ever to investigate the serious charges made. The returning officer was not questioned or approached, nor were other officials communicated with so far as can be' learned. Instead, the only investigation apparently was .to listen to a repeating of the charges and. It is not the duty or intention of the Association to support or condemn a protest. This decision rests with those responsible for bringing this matter to the notice of the Association, but the sooner these charges are cleared up. the better it will be for the community and for those elected to represent the government of the community. In these respects, the duty of the Association had been fulfilled. the charge had been laid. the committee was appointed, the investigation made and the findings reported. Whatever ‘ the outcome. the princi- ples of the Association have been ad- hered to. as stated in the latter part of the President’s reply to the letter from Mr. Sauve. 3.â€"That a person was .handed a marked ballot. and despite protest. this ballot was placed in the box and per- son was unable to vote. 4.-â€"Thnt stfndry voters, contrary to law. were allowed in the poll room at the same time. zâ€"That a person we: refused a bot- lot at the poll. someone having voted in her place; the Demon left the poll but came back later and was allowed to vote. 11!: mm: ADVANCE, mm ONTARIO : 4. That the authorities are assured from both enquiry and observation that "'sundry voters were not allowed to the polling ‘booths‘ contrary to law." So far as can be learned only one voter at a time went into any of the com- .partments where the voting took place, {and the returning officer says that !tnere is nothing in the law forbidding two or more ‘voters to be in the room at the one time. A misunderstanding of the law and facts in this instance no doubt impelled the making of the affidavits referred to. The same holds true in regard to the other alleged irregularities. Having been on the lookout for the Munch family for some time Antonov vitch finally met up with them as they were retmning home from a shopping tour. Stepping up to them as they emerged from the corner store, he drew The Advance believes that Mr. Cha- teauvert has been misled by the zeal of some of his supporters, who. what- ever their good faith, misunderstood some of the things they saw or thought they saw. Had the Ratepayers’ Associ- ation made any sort of real investiga~ tion, this would have been apparent. It is regrettable that any feeling of uncertainty should continue in the matter or that the town should be faced with any unnecessary or useless cost in the matter. It does not seem like good sportsmanship or good citizenship for the Ratepayers' Association to at- tempt to keep up interest in its associ- ation by allowing its organization to be used to foster discord and uncer~ tainty. According to the police, Mrs. Munda had lived with Anhonovitch prior to the arrival of Manda, from Winnipeg. Mrs. Manda used to do odd work around town and helped support An- tonovitch. John Marboski. close friend of An- tonovltch, declared the man was craz- ed‘wlth jealousy. He had shot Mrs. Banasuk. Markoski believed. because the woman had refused a; board him any longer. Munda. and Cunningham were re- ported late tonight to have been oper- ated on and the bullets removed. Moody Since Marriage The murderer, Wm. Antonovich, 30, disappeared following the shooting in the direction of the bush on the out- skirts of the town and is still at large. Mrs. Manda, pretty, vivacious Ukrainian, was married three weeks ago. For some time she had been friendly with Ammovitch, who for two years had not worked. Accord- ing to friends of the man, he had been increasingly moody since her marriage and last night had searched for Annie and her husband. Two Killed and Two Wounded at Kirkland The electors seemed to make their opinion very clear at the recent elec- tion. If the Ratepayers’ Association for any reason attempts to interfere with the wishes of the ratepayers of the town as expressed in the recent election, then the association certainly will appear in no other light than that of allowing itself to be used for parti- zanship purposes and against the in- terests of the town. The dead are: Mrs. Annie Munda, 26, shot twice through the head. Mrs. William Banasuk, who died some hours after the shooting. Two Wounded The wounded are: William Munda. 28, husband of the dead woman, gunshot wound in shoulder. Fred Cunningham, 40, gunshot wound in chest. â€" Tragedy Follows Jilting by Ukrainian Woman of Man Now Living at Kirkland Lake. Alleged Mur- derer Caught at Swastika. _ A despatch from Kirkland Lake says: Two persons are dead and two more lie in the Kirkland Lake hospital in a serious condition as a result of a shoot- ing which took place at Kirkland Lake shortly after noon on Monday. Two Dead The Ratepayers) Association in the letter above takes the stand that “it is not the duty or intention of the associ~ ation to support or condemn a protest" Then why by an alleged “investigation" which was no investigation at all, 'only the one side being heard or ap- proached, should the association at- tempt to give support or standing to charges that would be serious if they were what they affected to be? Does not this attitude on the part of the association warrant the charge of direct partizanship of the association against the very clearly expressed wishes of the electors? to "aid thyme-dull” a! sum moving that the alleged "regularities m not founded on scum facts. Had Cl": Running down the street with great haste, the man entered the rooming house of Wm. Banasuk, and pointing the gun at Mrs. Banasuk, he again pulled the trigger. Twice he fired and the unfortunate woman fell to the floor mortally wounded. Hearing the shots and coming out to investigate, Fred Cunningham took in the situa- tion at a glance and made for An- tonovitch, who once more pointed the gun and without a word, shot him down. Dashing out the rear door, the fugitive was last seen disappearing in the direction of the bush to the south of the town. Sought for Some Time According to the story told by Fred Secours, operator of Fred's Meat Mar- ket, in front of whose store the shoot- ing took place, the crazed Antonovitch, who had been looking for the Manda pair for some time, finally met up with them on the street close to his store. He rushed up to them flourishing his revolver. Directing one shot at the man. which hit him in the shoulder and dropped him to the pavement un- conscious. he turned and fired at the vamp. The shot. however. went wild Munda received a pellet in the shoulder and dropped to the pavement. Mrs. Munda was shot in the head, one other bullet went wild and lodged in a doorway across the street. Believing he had killed the pair, Antonovitch started down the street but Mrs. Munda attempted to call after him. Seeing he had not killed the woman. he returned and putting the revolver, directly in the unfortunate victim’s face, pulled the trigger. The murdered woman dropped with- out further sound to the pavement. a small .25 calibre and opened fire. automatic revolver Antonoviwh came here from “Win- nipeg two years ago and has not. work- ed since he arrived here. According to the police. he had been living with Annie Manda until her marriage three weeks ago. Fires Last Bullet He turned and was about to leave when Fred Cunningham, a boarder, hearing the noise, stepped out of his room to investigate; Seeing him, the fugitive fired his last bullet in his direction as he disappeared out the rear door. He was last seen running in the direction of the bush at the outskirts of the town ,Police are busily engaged in search- ing for him but late tonight he had not been captured. Provincial police are assisting local police in the hunt. There was great excitement in the town as citizens took up the man- hunt. About two months ago, Munda came here, also from Winnipeg. and having As the attacker turned to make his escape, however, Mrs. Munda. managed to struggle partly to her feet and call- ed out something to him. Hearing her voice. Antonovitch stopped his mad flight long enough to return and fire one more shot directly into the wo- man's face. She collapsed a second time. killed instantly. Dashing madly up the street once again. Antonovitch ran into the side lane of a large boarding house. Open- ‘ing the back door, he pushed himself in and still flourishing the revolver. made for Mrs. Banasuk, the land-lady, firing two shots which entered the wo- man’s head. and lodged in a doorway across the street. The second shot struck Mrs. Munda in the head and she joined her husband on the pavement. .Bull'ion production, before exchange compensation, of $322284 for the month of December, is reported by Dome Mines.

As noted in the above despatch An- tonovitch seemed to flee to the bush after his crimes. The police eventually, however, found he had made his way to Swastika and there he was surround- ed and captured by the police. He was found at Swastika on Tuesday. He is being held for 4 murder. Despite alleged threats of Antana- vinch, Annie left him and was married legally to Munda. Antonovitch, ac» cording to the police, threatened re- venge.
