Now he considered it a scurvy trick for the official canine capturer to sell a caugzht canine before giving the owner a chance to rec0#Â¥er the canine. Finally the dog came home, and like Maley‘s ghost, he drazged kehind him a long chain. After the canine came the man to whom the dog catcher had sold him, one Mr. Martin. The dog catcher, in future, will be reâ€" quired to make a monthly report of the canines he has coralled and his disâ€" position of them. It all came about as the result of a letter from one Jack Moody to the Council. In his letter Mr. Moody charged that Dog Catcher Bailey caught his pet, and despite the fact that it was carrying an identification tag, he sold it to another man. When he lost the dog he reported the matter to police, Moody said, He had the news that his pooch had parted from him broadcasted over the radio.

Another reference in The Advance twenty years ago to a murder case was | mention of the arrest here of a young McWatters sns Mining Corporauon Moneta . |man named Armand Beauregard, 19 Naybocb years old, who was charged with killing a man in Montreal some months before., Beauregard and a young lad of sixteen, named Paul Hecko, were finally hunted for to answer to three ‘coldâ€"blooded murders and robberies.

In referring to the association on one occasion The Advance described it as a "sort board of trade for the unorganized d‘isâ€" trict of Mduntjoy" Certainly it did zood ‘work for the settlers and was resâ€" !pons‘ble for many imprcvements in the law and in practice. At a meeting ‘announced by The Advance twenty years ago the chief topic for discussion I;by the Mountjcy Settlers‘ Association [ was given as "Good Roads." In those | days The Advance must had had great or it would have enquired ‘wha‘t the Mountjoy settlers knew about 'any kind of roads, let alone "good ~roads," except the dire need cf them, _which of course, was really what the association intended to discuss. The Advance twenty years ago said : ‘~"A branch of the Dominion Bank is being cpened this week in the premises formerly cccupied by Chas. Pierce and Sons for offices, These premises are %on Pine sirget, next to the Corner Drug Store. W. J. Dundas, who has been !m one of the Toronto offices since reâ€" turningz from overseas, is the manager of the new Timmins ‘bank and arrived last week to take up his duties here." The Advance added a few wornds in reâ€". gard to the general policy of the D:â€"mâ€" inion Bank andâ€"its success in Canada since its establishment in 1871. J â€"â€"Twenty years ago the provincial polâ€" ice created excitement and con.,terna-; tion in Cochrane ‘by a general raid on | places suspected ¢of breaking the On-’ i tario Temperance Act. The result of the raid or raids indicated that therse were lots of grounds for suspicion Among those arrested on liquor charges | was a wellâ€"known oldâ€"timer of the North Land named, Charlie Johnston. Provincial Officer Moore and Licenss Inspector Blackwall went up from the Porcupine that week to assist the other provincial officers in the raids conâ€" ducted. As The Advance said at the time, "a good time was had by all." The annual meeting of the Hollinger Athletic Association held on April 15th,! 1920, received the reports of the offi--t cers of the association and these proved | that the H.A.A. had had a very successâ€" ; ful year in 1919. The receipts for mel year were given as follows:â€"Baseball, ' gates, $114.79; hockey, gates, $139.88;| subscriptions from Hollinger, baseball, $150, hockey, $100, subscriptions from employees, $152.50; tcotal, 657.15.

In this column last week reference was made to the murder of Billy Gurâ€" nell, porter at the Pacific Hotel, North Bay, and previously in the same capaâ€" city in hotels at South Porcupine. In the issue this time twenty years ago The Advance referred to the arrest in a box car at Chalk River of a man named Calvano who was*returned to North Bay to stand trial on a charge of murder.

"One of the most successful events ever given in the North Land by amaâ€" teur talent was the concert at Schuâ€" macher on Wednesday evening last under the auspices of the McIntyre Athletic Association. It was in a class by itself for excellence. The various numbers were all given with a skill and artistic finish that were most atâ€" tractive and the variety of the program made it doubly pleasing. The theatre was crowded to the doors and more, there teing many visitors from Timâ€" mins and South Porcupine. The net profit will be about $150 for the McInâ€" tyre Athletic Association. Ali those taking part in the program or otherwise assisting in the event are to be conâ€" gratulated on the striking and enjoyâ€" able success attained. To Mrs. Parker, who was the leading spirit in the organâ€" ization and conduct of the event, and who so generously devoted her time and talent to its success, special eredit and thanks are due, and the cheers so enthusiastically given for her at the close cf the program were undoubtedly well merited and well won." Thus did the Advance in its issue of April 2ist, 1920, commence a writeâ€"up of over a column and a half in connection with an event given in Schumacher. weeks befgre his arrest. A watch taken from one of the people murdered and other stolen articles were said to have been found by the police here when Beauregard‘s shack was searched. At first he denied any knowledge of the crimes charged against him, but later was understcod to make admissions to the police in which he pleaded selfâ€" defence in regard to the one killing for which he held himself responsible. The other two deaths he apparently laid at the door of Hecko. The young man was taken from hnere by Quebec detecâ€" tives to stand trial in Montreal.

There were three of the boys, for exâ€" ample, doing extra work on Walter Wanger‘s "The House Across the Bay." It‘s no secret that Raft is a ready man with an open pocketbook. If you It‘s something of a Hollywood paraâ€" dox that Gecrge Raft, who even porâ€" trays his sympathetic characters on the cold, unemotional side, should be recâ€" cgnized as the "softest touch in town." When that sureâ€"thing horse runs seccnd, a manager needs some travelinz money to get his fighter out of town or the breaks have just been bad in genâ€" eral, the boys who know the angles head for Raft. They know he‘s always good for "a touch." "‘I‘ve argued the point time and again with my friends, and fully realize I stand with a minority, but I believe an actor can learn more before the camera than hso can before the footlights." "I he really wants to, an actor can learn to act anywhere under the cirâ€" cumstances," maintains Miss Bennett. "Of course, he needs a fair share of luck but you need that in any business â€"it‘s half the battle in any success. That‘s the opinion of Joan Bennett, one of Hollywood‘s topranking stars, and it is in direct contrast with the theory of those Broadway and London Icyalists who hold that only on the stage can an actor really master his profession. Miss Bennett is a recognized authority on stage and screen, having independently worked her way to starâ€" dom from the ranks of the extras.
