years. were killed on Sunday morning near Holland by a T. a; N. 0. freight train. Officials were. unable to deter- mine whether the two unfortunate men were attempting to steal a ride and in some way fell from the train on which they were travelling, or whether they were walking on the track and were struck by the moving freight train. It seems likely that the men were on the train and in some way or another fell at! the car on which they were riding It is because of the danger of just such accidents that the railways attempt to stop the Use of the trains by transients who try to steel rides.

IJDIITED “Sammy (Porky) Levine is back in Kirkland Lake," says The Northern News last week, “after a successful, seaâ€" son minding nets for the Kansas City Playmors. The genial Porky came in Wednesday looking the picture of health." j Cobalt police are busy these days iseeking clues in regard to the disap- Ipearance of $207.00 from the safe in the office at the Classic theatre at C0- balt. .. On Monday of last week the loss of the money was reported to the police. Roy Hudson. manager of the theatre. said the safe was locked and .in good order when he left the office on Sunday evening about nine o‘clock after doing some work there. Monday morning when he reached the office he found the safe door unlocked and the dial damaged; while most of the money was missing. The amount in the safe is said to be larger than usual, the showing of a popular film on Saturday bringing in the best house for months, Chief Delves was called and he and Provincial Constables Heency and Stmmberg are investigating. Police say they were told entrance to the office had been effected through the base- ment of the theatre and up into the old refrigerator after the outside door to the cellar had been forced open.- This is the second attempt on the theatre safe in the last few years. On the previous occasion the safe was damâ€" aged but could not be opened. 1 Report 33207 Stolen from Theatre Safe at Cobalt force the '1‘. N. O. to take whatever measures are possible to reduce the danger of tragedy to illicit travellers. There is little dodbt but that the T. a; N. O. at the beginning of the depres- si'an did more or less wink at the use of the freight trains for non-paying passengers. 'I‘rainmen failed to see these unfortunate fellms, though it required poorer sight than actually re- quired for railroad work to really miss seeing the travellers who did not pay. This goodheartedness. however, has been proven by the accidents occurring to be far from real kindness, and a tightening up of the rules to guard against the danger of death and muti- lation is necessary now. It may even be necessary to enforce the law against using railway tracks for walking pur- poses. A farmer living near Holland was the first to learn of the tragedy on Sunday. He noticed the mangled body of a man lying on the tracks. He promptly reported the matter. Further investigation brought the discovery of a second dismembered body farther along the tracks. The proyincial police at Cochrane were at once notified and commenced a very thorough investiga- tion. An investigation and inquest will also be carried on by the coroner and likely a jury inquest will 'be held to make as clear as possible the cir- cumstances surrounding the death of those two young men. Your Cooking-Heating Problems Need Worry You No Longer Ten years ago The Advance had the followingzâ€"“Nearly a hundred lots were sold- ‘last week in the new Moneta townsite adjoining Moneta. To be ex- act 98 lots were snapped up by buyers. or this number 44 are what are called trackage lotsâ€"that is. they are lots along the T. if. 0. track. These lots found unusually speedy sale for ware- house purposes Every one of these lots offered was taken up within a day or two of the opening of the sale. Mr. H. A. Proctor, who has charge of the sale of the new townsite lots. found an unusual demand for the lots, generally, yet it is very evident that it is not a case of a real estate boom, but a gen- uine demand for suitable lots for actu- al building purposes. Practically all the buyers of lots intend to build this year. There will be a number of ware- [house buildings erected, and a still ' greater number of homes. The section is comparatively close to the main part of thee-«town and to the» Hollinger Mine and so is proving a popular location for home builders. The fact that Moneta is now part of the town of Tim- mlns also increases the value and im- portance of this adjoining townsite." The Advanceoten years ago said:â€" “Monday afternoon about 2.30 at the dam at Island Falls, north of Porquis Junction, Nick Pashtan shot and killed Joe Lassilli. an Italian. A revolver was the weapon used. The shooting. so far as can be learned. developed from a quarrel between the two men. the lat- ter in turn having originated, it is said. oVer some recent card games. The men were at work when the shooting took place, and the fatality occurred so Quickly that others at work nearby did not realize what was happening until it was all over. As soon as the shoot- ing happened Pashtan took to the bush. Provincial police were notified and. hur- ried to the scene and have been at- tempting to capture the escaped Rus-- The Advance ten years ago says:â€" "Word came here this week to the effect that a settler at Nellie Lake, north of Porquis Junction. passed away last week from poisoning. The un- fortunate man is understood to have mistake a package containing strych- nine for one holding common salts. He took a dose ‘with fatal results occur- ing almost immediately. Details of the fatality are not to hand and are un- obtainable at the time of going to press on account of the absence from the dis- trict of the provincial police who are north of Cochrane in the search party looking for the Russian who shot and killed a fellow workman at Island Falls on Monday."

The late Mrs. Donahue left her home at South Porcupine some days ago to visit her parents in Woodstock and to take special medical treatment in the south. having been ill for some :time past. On the train she became seriously ill and was taken off at Oril- lia and hurried to the hospital there where every possible care and atten- tion was given. A specialist from To- ronto as well as the family physician from her old home town of Woodstock were brought to Orillia and all that medical skill could do was done. Mr. Donahue went to Orillia on Tuesday last week in answer to the wire telling of his wife's illness. An operation was found necessary. but Mrsl.

It is the com- mon report that Morin landed in Matheson one day recently. displayed spectacular samples of geld ore. some of them assaying as high as $3,000.00 and $4 000.00 in gold to the ten. He recorded some claims, and others hear- ing of the startling finds began a little rush to the new district usually refer- red to as the Shillington district. Shil- lington is a rural post office in Currie township. and it is understood that the find made by Morin was a little dis- tance from Shillington, possibly in a township adjoining Currie township. In any event the prospectors are paying particular attention to the group 01 six townships including Currie, Egan Speraton, Bond Taylor and Stock township. Morin is undertood to have said that he made the discovery of the spectacular vein during the winter while out trapping, but did not stake until the snow was gone. Last week the rush to the new area got away to a good start, numbers. going in from Matheson. and also some others strik- ing in from Nighthawk Lake. The new field. if it upholds its present reputa- tion. is going to .be an important link in the solid chain of gold connecting Lightning and Porcupine gold areas. ly- ing as it does nearly midway between the two. Already many claims have been staked and prospectors are going in every day. An old-timer from the Swastika area who was in town last week. was inclined to be sceptical re- garding the Shillington find. “I have been through the area.” he said. “and I think any spectacular find will be several miles away from Shillington. It is easy enough to start a.rush. but is another thing to get a new gold area opened up." Others. however, take a more enthusiastic view. and hence the little rush on at present at this district, about midway between Timmins and Matheson." both cases. the public is inclined to leave the blame on the fact that the roads were not left in right shape last fall" “Miss Mary Gray spent Easter at her home at Blind River.
