Then what are we going to get the boys out of befor:s against Marshallâ€"Ecclestone, S a m Bucovetsky and I. K. Pierce, were adâ€" jJourned ancther two weeks to March nd. Crown Attorney S. A. Caldtick explained that the motion to quash the Wednesday afternoon closing laws is still in the courts. Five first offence drunks paid the vusual $10 and costs, and two like cases were adjourned a week. Charges under municipal byâ€"laws Louis Cocher, charged with reckless driving by Stanley Madryzk, was disâ€" missed. Madryzk admitted that he had stopped his car on the Delnite road to pick up a passenger, leaving no room for Cocher to pass when the other came up from behind, tried to pass, ane struck the left rear fender of the Madryzk car. Had 1936 License Plates Driving cars in Timmins with 1936 license plates on them cost two motorâ€" ists a $10 fine. Felix Clermont pleadâ€" ed guilty to reckless driving and was fined $10. Improper lights was the cause of a fine of $1.00 for another moilorist; failing to stop at a stop sx,,n brought a fine of $2.00. "Renaud took exception to Mr. Feldâ€" man‘s remarks," said Jack Mussell, anâ€" other witness. "Mr. Feldman told him he‘d better pack up and move. Renaud got kind of scre and hit him." For assaulting Sam Feldman, Louis Renaud paid a fine of $5.00 and costs. According to Mr. Feldman, Renaud had left one of the Feldman Timber Comâ€" pany‘s cookeries early, before finishing his job properly. In the office at the mill, Mr. Feldman spoke to him about it "I was behind the counter and he leaned over and hit me," said Mr. Feldman. Reraud claimed that Mr. Feldman had come after him first with a stick. though this was denied by other witâ€" nesses. "I hit him first, that‘s all," was Renaud‘s explanation, Magistrate Atkinson rebuked Renaud for having struck a man who was cripâ€" pled, as he found him guilty and orâ€" dered the fine paid. ‘"They were in a clinch when I came in. I walked in and parted them and went right away again," said Tom Brernan. "T‘ll cancel his bail if he doesn‘t appear," said the magistrate. "He‘s got to appear. This is an indictable ofâ€" fence." Ellies appeared later to post his bail. All the "gaming house" charges came as a result of raids made here last Thursday night by local police on the Mourtjoy Social Club and the Miner‘s Club. Holgevak agreed to post anothner $100 for his bail, but when Ellies was called e did not appear. Charles Kerr, aciâ€" ing for Dean Kester, attorney for Ellies‘ defence, explained that the accused was not in court; that he had not thought it necessary to be there. "They were arrested late at night," explained Crown Attorney S. A. Caldâ€" bick. "It was difficult to get bail at that time. It was only a short time to court and having that in mind they were allowed out on $100 bail." Of 52 men charged with "being found in a common gaming house," all but three appeared, to be told by the magistrate that their case would be heard at two o‘clock next Tuesday afternoon. George Ellies ard Frank Piro, two of those who failed to answer to their names, will have to explain ta police why they couldn‘t come to court or warrants will be issued for their arrest. The third man who didn‘t appear, is ill. Bail is Increased Bail for Charles Holgevak and Frank Ellies charged with keeping common gaming houses, was raised by Magisâ€" trate Atkinson to $200 cash or $400 property. Previously they had jbeen released on $100 bail. "It seems to me that the bail‘s pretty light," said the magistrate. "I think Foth should go at least what the fine There was "Standing Room Only" in Timmins police court on Tuesday afterâ€" noon when 80 cases appeared on the docket.

Mrs. Gosselin is a sister â€" of Mr. Benn, and informs The Advance that the family, and naturally the mother in particular, are very anxious to locate Stanley Benn. At one time, about 1920 or 1921, she says, Stanley Benn lived in Timmins, though it is thought that afterwards he went to Toronto. The family think that some one in Timâ€" mins might have scme information to give that might assist in tracing Mr. Benn. The family have not heard from him for about seventeen years, and his mother and sisters and brothers are very anxious indeed to hear from him. 1 he has died, they would wish to know the facts.. If he is still alive they would be most grateful to anyone who could assist them in getting in touch with him. Stanley Benn is about 32 years of age. Any reader of The Aaâ€" vance who knows him or knows anyâ€" thing about him would be doing a kindness indeed by passing along any irformation that will lead to his rcâ€" latives getting in touch with him. If this should meet the eye of the missâ€" ing man himself, he should at once write to the family. Family Anxious to Locate Stanley Benn The Advance has received a letter from Mrs. Fred J.

Mr. Simpson had only 148 votes less than Mr. Armstrong.
