The bear walked into the shack while Firchuk was filing a saw. "I cculdn‘t get out," the lumberman related, "so I tackled him with my bare hands. The bear was tough but I got him on his back with a wrestling hold and socked him on the snout. "The bear started to raise a terrafic din," Firchuk continued. "he tried to bite me. I kept awgy from his jJaws but he ripped the front of my shirt and clawed imy hands." The fight ended, according to the vieter‘s story, when Firchuk got a rope around the animal‘s neck and anchored it to the leg of a bench. While the trar howled, his captor claims, he made a wooden cage into which he enâ€" ticed the animal with a piece of meat Three days later he took it by horse team to Hudson, where he showed it to friends.

Constable Richardson told the court the circumstances of the case as related to him by the recipient of the threat, Rita Lemay, of 41A Second street. In company with Constable Gibson he visited the house after a call had been put into the police station by the woâ€" man. A reader of the Canadian Nationa‘ Magazine, in a letter published in the January issue, suggests a poll of railâ€" waymen to find out how many of them are taking special courses in this and that.

There will not be many to equal the retired section foreman who attained the degree of B.A. and is now pastor of As to the happenings of Christmas Eve, Mr. Pearlman said Tennant could not remember having made the threat. The comparative sobriety of the prisâ€" oner at the time of his arrest was esâ€" tablished by Chief of Police William Shane and Crown Attorney Robinson. They told the court he had been drinkâ€" ing but was not intoxicated. Continuing his story, Mr. Pearlman told how Tennant had been searching for work here and in Timmins and that the woman in the case had been supplying him with money. "Had he been living with her?" askâ€" ed the magistrate. "Yes, he had, but she had put him out and was living with another man. It was to scare this man and the woâ€" man that he went to the house that night," answered Pearlman. He went on to ask for a sentence which would be a lesson to Tennant but which would not be too heavy. The bench asked whether the reâ€" volver was loaded. Assured that it was, he said: "This is a serious matter. We can‘t have people runmning around with loadâ€" ed revolvers. I sentence you to one year in jail.

At Kirkland Lake a young man, who afterwards claimed he had enough, anyawy, before he started, attempted to spear the odd drink in the odd way. He visited a number of places in Kirkâ€" land Lake, asking for a drink. When there was question of the reason why he should be given a drink, or even ask for a drink, he represented that he was a polica officer. Even that, howeverâ€" not even in Kirkland Lakeâ€"didn‘t win the free drinks. In the first ecluple of places he visited was ordered out. In the next couple he was thrown out. Then came one place where he was stalled along." While he was waiting in the hopes that there might be a drink for him, the police arrived.
