Man Killed in Shaft at Buffaloâ€"Ankerite Thought to Have Been Struck on Head by Piece of Rock. Aldege Brazeau, of 27 Commercial avenue, was instam.Jly â€"«illed on Friday afternoon at the Buffaloâ€"Ankerite, when he was struck on the head by an object, believed to have been a smalli rock that arcpped from a point in the shaft. Brazeau was standing on the stage at the 100â€"foot level, mine officials said toâ€"day, when the accident occurred. A companion was standing near him but facing in ithe opposite direction. He did not see or hear anything. HMHe looked around and Brazeau was slumped on the ground. His death was instantanâ€" eous. He was immediately taken to the surface and a physician was called. However the man was dead and it only remained for the doctor to pronounce him so. His head was smashed. No rock was found in the wound in his head and it was assumed that the small piece struck him and glanced away. Brazeau was 21 years of age. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Braâ€" zean, also of 27 Commercial avemic He was born in Timmins and had been at Buffaloâ€"Ankerite for eleven months. Mine officials said that he was an exâ€" cellent workman. He was the eldest son of a family of seven children. A peculiar feature of ithe accident was the fact that no loose rock was found in the vicinity of the stage after the accident. It could not be said posiâ€" tively that Brazeau was hit by a rock. The shaft had been cleaned down its full length four days before, officials said, and there should not have been any loose rock to fall. Two Jail Terms for Passing Mex. Money The inquest is noon at 4 o‘clock Third Man Dismissed as Inâ€" nocent Bystander. End of Mexican Money Case. Two of the three Rouyn salesmen aâ€" cused of fraud in connection with the passing of worthless Mexican money at Kirkland Lake were found guilty in police court at Kirkland Lake last week and sentenced to sixty days with hard labour. Paul Emile Calve, who said he was an insurance agent, and Fred Dellaco, who claimed to be a bread salesman, both giving Rouyn as their home town, were the two men reâ€" ceiving the The third memâ€" ber of the trio arrested, Leo Lecuyer, was acquitted, Magistrate Atkinson sayâ€" ing that Lecuyer seemed to be only the innccent bystander in the case. Dellaâ€" co‘s defence was that he was a coin and stamp»p» collector and bought ithe Mexican bills as part of his hobby in this line. This was his explanation for having the worthless money. It was suggested that too much drinking of beer might have been responsible for the Mexican money being mixed with other money and so reaching othrrs and leading to the charges. Calve‘s deâ€" fence was to the effect that the two bills found on him had been given him by Dellaco as part payment for a radio he was selling the said Dellaco. In corroboration of this claim a receipt was produced for the meoney. Unfortuâ€" nately for the defence, however, the receipt was dated a day after the men were arrested, instead of a day or two before. "It looks as if it had been cookâ€" ed up for the deferse," was the comâ€" ment of the magistrate. The magistrate also commented cn the fact that while the men claimed that they had conâ€" sumed large quantities of liquor and so .could nost be expected to remember much, their memories were really reâ€" markable on some points.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO he| C There is a certain courage shown by real racing drivers in taking curves at fulbspeed but not the brand that wins Ca e medals. It takes courage, ‘men:al s‘ability and wide unders.andâ€" ing for one to subordinate his personal | urges and pleasures for the common gocoi and most humans cursed with : that form of inferiority complex which causes them to resort to exhibitionism have a difficult time in a world which subordinates the individual for the subordinates thie individ@u@ai iof mel common good. It has been said that the more laws there are, the mors will be broken, but the converse is true that the more huâ€" man beings respect each other‘s comâ€" mon rights, the less laws are necessary. Going through the pages of the dan) w press we find most of <the front pagei news to be details of violation of the rights of individuals or of peoples by other individuals or peoples. The vioâ€" lation Oof the rights of public safety fill the columns. The various campaigns for public safety appear to be futile and ‘h> rsults negligible. Can this be beâ€" cause such campaigns are only underâ€" | stood by those of highar mentality who as a rule act safely and that they are beyond the grasp of the violators? It is doubtful. Except for some of unâ€" doubted low mentality and others whose mem‘:al processes are warped by | disease or alcahol or drugs, it might i be found that the exhibitionists are t,hu chief violators. l Here in our own community which on mc is in a way isolated, it might be posâ€" sible to wage a campaign of publicity through the columns of our local | papers, through efforts of the various service and social clubs and through the enrolment of massed opinion which would result in better support being given local law enforcement officers, that preventable automobile accidents might be avoided. It is about time to |d» something about them since even the provincial government has become aroused. Automobile manufacturer are probabâ€" ly at the bottom of many failures to pass accident prevention â€" legislation, working through the agency of motor clubs. It would be difficult to secure passage of a law requiring a really rigid test of persons applying for drivers‘ licenses, yet morons, mental defectives, alcoholiecs and cther such undesirable drivers secure permits. Lt would be hard to secure passage Oof a law requiring police examination or trial of an automobile annually and upon its transfer from one person to another,. yet defective brakes, weak tires and faulty steering account for very many accidents. It would probably be hard even to seâ€" cure traffic light regulation of the cars passing over the Mattagami River bridge at Timmins, yet it would save collisicns, scraping cars, much bad language, much useless horn tooting and the skin and feelings of pedestrians thereon.
