"And if you do this will come against you. The youngster who had admitted starting the fire was called before the magistrate with his mother. ‘"Are you guilty or not guilty?" "Yes," was the boy‘s answer. "Do you realize what a foolish thing you did?" A. ‘"Yes." The Magistrate asked the mother if she was satisfied with the evidence given in the adult court. She said she was but added "He certainly did not intend to burn the building down." The court was cleared, Magistrate Atkinson allowed the press to remain for the case in juvenile court beâ€" cause he felt the public was entitled to the 'findings. Crown Attorney Caldbick said he also believed that none of the boys inâ€" tended to burn the building down, that they had seen other boys doing the same thing, only this time the fire wasn‘t put out. However, there was no justification for what they did, and said that he believedâ€"it warâ€" ranted a suspended sentence. The 16â€"yrâ€"old was bound over to his Gregory Evans. "The boy said he was out of there at least five minâ€" utes before he noticed fire. It may have been another fire started in the meantime that was responsible for burning the building down." Magistrate Atkinson said he didn‘t think the boys intended to burn the building down, that it was just a bit of foolishness, but added that the consequences were grave. However, he said, he did not contemplate sendâ€" ing the boys to jail. Magistrate Atkinson: "If wilfully set and the fire gets out of control it is regarded as wilful. Intention does not matter. S, A. Caldbick, "This I believe is ample evidence to connect the boy with the fire." Magisrtate Atkinson. "I can‘t conâ€" ceive anything more wilful than setâ€" ting paper on fire." Prosecuting attorney Caldbick preâ€" sented the case for the *crown. "I think there is plenty of evidence to show that the older boy was an acâ€" complice by counselling the boys. He asked the boy to start the fire and also said he would blow it out. The boy put out the first fire he started, kut didn‘t put out the second because he was assured it would be all right." ‘"He did nothing active in starting the fire," Evans continued. "Neither aid he give the boys the matches with which the fire was started. .There is no evidence to connect my client with the fire. In accusing him of aiding or counselling the boys I say that there is insufficient evidence and that it was denied by my client, which checks with the story he told the poâ€" lice at the time of the fire. I ask for dismissal of my client." it out?" A. "No." Gregory Evans summed up the ev. idence. "Consider the age of all the boys, especially the one who started the fire. He claims he was dared by my client to start the fire by him that he would blow it out. My client denies this. One witness saw nothing. It is obvious which boy set the fire and walked out. Yet it was nothing new, plenty of boys seem to have started fires in the rink before. My client is not guilty of setting the fire or of arson; he might be guilty of being an accomplice though I don‘t think sufficient evidaence has been produced to make a case against him. Q.

Arâ€" riving a little late in the district he found most of the likely land staked out. One congenial prospector, satâ€" isfied that he was sitting on a rich find, told Preston of a likely looking mound of rock that resembled a dome that hadn‘t been staked yet. Preston investigated, staked his claim, and the Dome Mine, the third largest in the Porcupine, was discovered. For the next few years it was esâ€" timated that from six to seven thouâ€" sand prospectors roamed through norâ€" thern Ontario. Travelling by canoe, on foot, packsacks on backs with what supplies they could carry; livâ€" ing in small tents and leanâ€"tos and cooking over open fireâ€"places; men who had never known anything but the indoor life of factory, store and office searched steadily through the great forests drawn ever on by the lure of gold. The Great War began in 1914 and a couple of years later in a story of the north it was estimated that only about a thousand men of the pick were left. Of the thousands roaming the north country more than a thousâ€" and had gone off to war. A couple more thousand had gone back to the farm after an exciting and enthusiasâ€" tic career in a game they were not raised to. And the remainder were either working in the mines or workâ€" ing for themselves getting claims in shape for the time when the buyer of The trains of the T. N. O. were laden with colorf{ful clad prospectors pouring into the north country in those days, but world events were to change things. According to the story Benny Holâ€" linger had staked in the forest on part of what is now the town of Timâ€" mins. When he found himself on another man‘s claim, and all the highâ€" er ground taken he found the only place where he might stake a claim was on lower ground. Here he stakâ€" ed, and what he thought was unwantâ€" ed leftover turned out to be the greatest gold mine that was ever struck in the north country. Luck and the fates were with Benny, or so the prospectors say. Benny Hollinger, from whom the greatest gold mine on the continent was to take its name, arrived a little late in the Porcupine. All around where Timmins now â€" stands prosâ€" pectors had staked claims. Finding a spot that looked likely Benny stakâ€" ed out his claim only to find that he was on another man‘s claim. In those days the Porcupine was called a mossâ€"covered, goldâ€"laden swamp, and, while claims were staked near lakes, the higher rocky ground was favored. Once in the district, and with the railroad steadily pushing north, the prospectors pushed off into the wildâ€" crness and forests, enthusiasm high and bursting with the expectation of strikes that would make them wealthy overnight and enable them to return to their homes to live as they had dreamed. The Porcupine was discovered 1909 and again the old legends tell the part luck and chance played finding of the greatest mines. even some hardy adventurers from Europe poured in. Shacks went up with lightning speed and the formaâ€" tion of a town besan on the shores of Lake Temiskaming. in 1906 Cobalt was incorporated as a town. Legends Tell Of (Continued from Page One>) â€" __ THURSDAY, MARCH 6h 1947 in in The autumn was the season for rushes, the story goes on. Every year about this time the people of the north goes tearing out of the towns and settlements for some far discovery, the prospector in the van, and the getâ€"richâ€"quicks from counter and railway section gang right behind him. By the winter most of them are back at counter, ledger or plow, getâ€" ting ready for the next rush. There‘s some interesting stories of Porcupine in the old days, stories old prospectors love to tell and retell. How they just missed stakes, how others were practically shoved into the greatest strikes made, and how some worked like Trojans hauling rock to a barren place so they could stake a claim just because of a hunch they had. Those were the great old days. 40â€"acre chunks of the north would be once again more plentiful and prosâ€" perous. Yet one must not speak deridingly of the amateur. Some of the best claim stakers, and some of the men who have made big money out of the mineral rock of the north, are former merchants and farmers and office men who have learned the ways of the bush and haveâ€"cleverly, with knowâ€" ledge of geology gleaned from books, staked good claims. The concert of last night will long be remembered as one of the high lights in a brilliant series of performâ€" ances by outstanding artists. The delight of the audience was shown by their rapt attention and enthusâ€" iastic applause throughout the proâ€" gramme. Asked by the teacher: "Now, if I were to lay five eggs here and two eggs there, how many would I have?" It is not without design that menâ€" tion of the Presto from the Beethoven Kreutzer Sonato is left to the last. In this work the accompanist is not merely a supporter of the soloist but a coâ€"artist who often has the main theme while the violinist has an acâ€" companying figure. In this as in all his work John Newmark proved himâ€" self an artist of first rank. Never was the piano distracting either by obâ€" trusiveness or lack of support. It was continually blending its voice with that of the violin to add to the richness of the musical conception. "You couldn‘t do it, teacher," reâ€" plied Jimmy. The artists were recalled again and again and played the Hahanera of Ravel and the Caprice Viennoise by Kreisler with the same musicianship which characterized the whole proâ€" gramme. Still there was more to be told. The Ukelele Serenade of the Brookâ€" lynâ€"bern composer Aaron Copland with its modernistic harmonies and rhythms was full of humour and clever imitation of how this instruâ€" nfent would sound attempting to play a serious love song. The wizardry of the Carmenâ€"Fanâ€" tasie by Sarasate was the final word. Mr. Spivakovsky‘s technical proficâ€" iency here defies comment. With Bartok‘s Roumanian Folk Dances he transported the listener to that far away land with its quaint customs, unhurried peacefulness and its happy tunes. violin by this time, but there reâ€" mained the final words which came to live in the last three sclections.
