"Yes," answered Davignon. Didn‘t Know "Room Mate" He had been in Timmins just one month, he said, and haq. rented the Avenue road place on his own, Laforest Faving had no connection with the hcuse. One of the rooms he had rented to a woman and on the night when police raidcd, finding 55 pints of beer cn the premises, the woman had had some visitors, he claimed. He did not explain what the beer was doing in the place, though he deâ€" nied having sold it. Pclice evidence was to the effect that a large number of cars had been seen driving up to the house late at night, and that on the night of the raid, people had been found sitting in the hcuss drinking beer. One of the woâ€" men found there said she slept in the house, although she did not know the other woman who occupied the same room, nor digq she know the proprietor‘s ram>s. Drunken Driver Gets 15 Days "I had a little drink, I wasn‘t drunk, thcugh," Louis Del Villano said when charged with driving a motor car while intoxicatsd. "The other fellow sideâ€" Speaking to Laforest at the concluâ€" sion of the case, Magistrate Atkinson said: "I‘m going to let you go, but you‘re skatmg on pretty thin ice in this town.‘ A, Burt, Manager ist got out of jail @’ "I had no idea there was an Iron Fireman automatic coal burner that would work in wy heating plant!" is a statement we hear nearly every day.

Del Villano hag been driving the left side of the road and had d a considerable amount of damage another car. He had been helped |i the police patrol ca; and brought the police station. A doctor was cal "when ne put a Tive=Golla middle of the floor, I picked the accused. "He wouldn‘t | it though." ‘The doctor had asked the man to stang up, Deputy Chief Salley said, but the man had replied "I can‘t." The doctor had pronounced him drunk afâ€" ter a thorough examination. Del Villano took the judgment of 15 days in jail still smiling as he did all the way through the case. Obstructed Game Warden Wm. Hass, chargedg with having obâ€" structed Game Warden Phil Boudreau in the execution of his duty, admitted that he might have been a bit hasty when he told the officer: "I‘m taking this gun into my possession regardless of the game law." It came out in evidence that the game warden had questioned Hass‘ son about a gun he saw lying in a canoe. The son hag refused to bring the canoce to shore. Later the officer had picked the weapon up from under the boat which had been dragged ashore and overturned. Confronting Hass with the gun, the game warden had asked for the son‘s license. He had none. The next day the charge was laid of "obâ€" structing." Hass explained that he was in the habit of leaving his gun under the canoe but that neither he nor his son ever did any shooting on Sunday, on which day the alleged "obstruction‘" occurred. He himself had a license. "You shouldn‘t have interfered him that way," said his worship. "If you give me a dismissal T‘ll mise to be more careful in the fu replied the accused. The magistrate complimented him on his apparent truthfuiness all the way through the case, but refused to hand down a decision until the crown atâ€" tornsy returns, since it was begun unâ€" der him. Not Public Place? A case against E. W. Hitt, charged with being drunk in a public place is laid over until the magistrate decides whether or not the Legion hall was a public place at the time the police were called to arrest Hitt and take him away. Through counsel, the accused admitâ€" ted being drunk, but neid that the hall was not a public place, only Legion members and their guests having been allowed to enter on the evening in question. Even though licensed under the Liquor Control Act as a "soldier‘s canâ€" teen," the public is not permitted to enter the place, the lawyer said. Who Threw Beer Stein John Kolman, charged: last week with having thrown a beerâ€" mug through the windshield of a passing car at Connaught, was again remanded cwing to the absence of the crown atâ€" torney. Provincial police are searching for a man whom Kolman says threw the stein. Antonio Bendo is free on bail of $1,000, following the reading of a charge against him of selling liquor. Mrs. Del Villano posted the bail. Two cthers chargseq in the same connection with having been in possession of beer nct purchased in accordance with the Liquor Control Act were also remanded. Koivu Remanded Again Ilmari Koivu, charged with reckless driving following the fatal accident at the corner of Fourth and Balsam on 22nd, was again remanded. PATRICIA ENGINEERING Eli Lemaich, of Kirkland Lake, paid $10 and costs for reckiess driving and two others were remanded until next week on similar charges. C. R. Blackail paid $10 and costs and will lose his griving permit for 15 days for reckless driving. "I‘m not going to stand for any of these fellows drinkâ€" ing," said his worship when the license suspension was questioned. "I‘m going to take them off the road." Koo Lew and Tony Kelly, two Chiâ€" nese citizens, patched up their differâ€" ences and a charge of common assault was withdrawn. They split the costs of the court "fiftyâ€"fifty."

Successful Fall Fairs Held in the North Land Despite all sorts of gifficulties, the New Liskeard Agricultural Society held a very sucesssful fall fair last week, the exhibits being shown in the two big rinks at New Liskeard, the live stock being in the skating rink and the other exhibits in the curling rink. The disâ€" play is said to have been equal to that of any but the larger fairs in the South. Wet weather made it necessary for Englehart fair to postpone part of its sports programme and other features, but despite this drawback the Englehart fair may also be classed as a success. These fall fairs are excellent adverâ€" tising for the North Land as a farmâ€" ing and market gardening area.
