A great deal of time was taken up with a case that was final'ly dismissed by the magistrate. A man was charged with being druuk while in charge of a car, and while driving the car haq knocked down and broken a gas pump outside a store in Schumacher. The two officers who arâ€" rested him swore to his own statement that he had been drinking and of their own accord, said that he was driunk. However, accused produced five reputâ€" able witnesses who swore to the conâ€" trary. His statement for the broken gas tank was that he was parked ahead of it, and trying to get clear in the rutty condition of the road backsed into it. His explanation was given consideraâ€" tion by the magistrate, and the result was dismissal.

The choir, too, showed marked imâ€" provement. The "session" applies to the spiritual side of the work of the church. The Ladies‘ Guild reported an excellent year, succeeding in clearing off a substantial debt of fairly long standing on the church. The Board of Officers for the church remains as beâ€" fore, the two resigning members being reâ€"elected to office, The board now stands:â€" Chairman, Mr. Purdy; secâ€" retary, Mr. J. Trucblood; treasurer, Mr. J, Andrews; Messrs. D. Coffey, J. D. Thomson, H. Hall, A. G. Brown, and R. Vokes. Dr. Somerville was added with Mr. R. S. McWilliams to the ministerial board. There was a good attendance at this meeting and reâ€" freshments were served by the wives of the elders. they‘re forerunners of strip prints we‘ve featured colour combinat.ons pattern nd tiny geoâ€" and TIHE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The first congregational social sponâ€" sored by activitiecs within the Anglican Church took place at the parish hall on Tuesday night. A very good attenâ€" dance proved the popularity of the venture which will now be a monthly affair of the church in the hall. Archâ€" deacon Woodall opened the evening with an address of welcome saying that each society in the church was taking some part in the entertainâ€" ment. The Women‘s Auxiliary was reâ€" sponsible for the musical part of the programme, and Masters Vary and Keats from the Paymaster Mine played pianoforte duets and solos during the prozramme, which were well performed and received,. The Sewing Circle enactâ€" ed a mock marriage which caused lots of fun, each person grotesquely overâ€" dressing the part and behaving in a manner suited to the costumes. Mrs. Morgan enacted the part of the minisâ€" ter, while Mrs. Walker was the adipos: pride, escorteq by the diminutive groom â€"Mrs. Covey. Mrs. Curtisâ€"the bride‘s fatherâ€"informed all and sundry that be was not giving the bride awayâ€"he got five hogs for her! The choir, conâ€" sisting of three members of the sewing circle, sang suitable soft music which tickled the audience. Mrs. Jay, Mrs. Woodleigh and Mrs, Pullin all had parts to play. Altogether the mock wedding went over well. A dressmaking competition put on by the Men‘s Club elicitsda much laughter, and brought out some latent talent. With yards of tissue paper, pins and nceedles and cotâ€" ton, six members of the Men‘s Club essayed in 15 minutes to concoct a crcation on and for a lady. By the sudâ€" den cries of the models, it may be judged that the pins sometimes went deeper than intended, but when Miss Commissions sailed onto the platform in a twoâ€"tone violet creation with a trainâ€"the work of Mr. Blockley of the. Ankerite schoolâ€"the applause was genuine. True the material gave out when it came to making two sleeves, but the oneâ€"sided effect was at least new! The AY.P.A. in their oldâ€" fashioned "mellerdrammer" made a hit. With Mr. Ross "reader," the story was enacted in dumb show by the characâ€" ters, as follows:â€"Two curtainsâ€"E. Commissiong and Mary Peacock (they parted); Sonâ€"A. Couchmanâ€"‘*‘hs rose and set;" Stairsâ€"M. Smith, Jr. (She tore down the stairs); Horizonâ€"Lorne Hart (they scanned the horizon); Stadowsâ€"K, Reynolds (she fell) ; Hours â€"D. Walker (they passed slowly); Maidâ€"B. Clemiss; Mr. Depopoloâ€"H. Hall; Maggie O‘Brienâ€"B. M. Smith; Patrickâ€"H. Pyke. Part of the reading: "I see,‘"‘ said Mr. Depopolo, "you are appealing to me." (Heroine kneels, peelâ€" ing a banana). "But alas for you, your appeal is fruitless!" (He snatches banaâ€" na and eats it, lsaving only the peel). Needless to say the young people made a greater hit with this sort of thing than with anything else in the draâ€" matic line yet attempted. Refreshâ€" ments were served, after games and cards had been played. Mrs. Naish proved herself to be the checker chamâ€" pion of the evening, defeating five good players. Death from Exposure of Shawkey Gold Mine Worker Newman, an employee of the Shawkey Mine in Northwestern Qu°â€" bec, is dead following the results of exâ€" posure and cold during his attemptcd walk this week from the mine to Val d‘Or. He was picked up on the trail between the mine and the property and rushed to the Rouyn hospital by airâ€" plane. He died a few minutes after reaching the hospital. His hands and legs were badly frozen and the exâ€" posure evidently injured him so seriâ€" ously that even the prompt attention made possible by the airship failed to save his life. Apparently he was overâ€" come by the cold while walking from the mine to the village of d‘Or.

"All right," said the magistrate, "you your two witnesses and let the other man bring his two next Tuesday to court and we‘ll have a regular fight." An old lady of Hoyle brought a charge against her son for nonâ€"support. She had a tale of woe. He was working at the Pamour and living at a boarding house and she was left to bring up two children (one adopted) without his aid. She admitted living rentâ€"free in the boy‘s house, and getting $25 a month mother‘s pension, also that the boy brought groceries into the home. Under the circumstances the magistrate reâ€" fused to support her charge and the case was dismissed.

After taking the drink of beer, he said he became unconscious almost immediately. An hour later, he tolq the court, he regained consciousâ€" ness and found that $42 was missing from his pocket. Mrs. Margaret Mcâ€" Donald, at whose place the incident took place, found a small bottle at the foot of the bed where Burton was lyâ€" ing when he woke up. The evidence of Professor Joslyn Rogers, of Toronto, was to the effect that the bottle conâ€" tained a solution of chloral hydrate. The prosecution failed to prove to the satisfaction of the jury that Mrs. Johnâ€" somn should be held liable if Burton had been given a drug. There was no evidence to directly prove that the acâ€" cused woman had administered any drugs to Burton. Hence the acquittal on these charges. At Sudjury at a sitting of the Suâ€" preme Court on Tuesday Mrs. Hilda Johnson was acquitted on one charge of administering drugs to commit theft and also of one charge of the theft of $42 from John Burton. The jury delibâ€" erated about 70 minutes before giving the verdict. There was also another charge against her of administering drugs to commit theft. Ths charges against Mrs. Johnson followed the stories told the police by Burton and another man to the effect that Mrs. Johnson had induced them to visit her apartment and there have a drink or two. Ths stories of the two men agreed in the idea that after drinking the men became unconscious and that while unconscious they lost money from their pockets.

Ten minutes before court opzned at Sudbury this week, however, Mr. Justice F. D. Hogg, who evidently felt the woman should have the benefit of counsel, asked G. M. Miller to act for the defeonce.

MATTHEW‘S LADIES‘ GUILD / Word this week from Calgary says that a man giving the name of Joliin Miller, alias Fred Murray, and claimâ€" jng Haileybury as his home town, was found guilty in police court of having acted in disorderly manner at the proâ€" vincial relief kitchen at Calgary. He was remanded to toâ€"day for sentenze. The reason for saying that he "claims‘" Haileybury as his home town is the doubt engendered by remarks â€" by the the constable ‘stationed at the relief kitchen. This constable says:â€"‘"These fellows of the communist party are causing great trouble. Their party is the cause of practically all the difficulty in relief camps and kitchens at present. I'I‘he} make a fuss about not being satisâ€" fied with food issued by the Governâ€" ment but are pleased to come and eat it." It will ‘be recalled that a young lady who was one of the hirelings in the North of the communist party on more than one occasion gave her adâ€" aress as Timmins when she got into difficulties with the authorities in other towns. The only way in which she was conneéected with Timmins at thaf tiure was by the fact that she was in the i'eg'ular employ of the communist party and for a time had her headquarters in this town where the office appears to be for the party for this area. Except to members of the communist party she was practically unknown in Timmins and â€" her total residence here would have been so slight as to make it ridi¢cuâ€" lous to refer to this town as her home town.
