Michell; also an advisory committee.«* Premises ‘have been rented for use as a club, which is open at all times. The regular business meeting is held on the first (Monday of each month. Entertainments, dances and social gatherings ‘have been ‘held, says the letter, and ithe attendance at these meetings ‘has proved the urgent need for an association of this character. ‘ In order to facilitate the expansion. of the Association in keeping with its aims and objects, larger premises are desirable for club purposes and an appeal is now being made for further financial assistance. _ Those outside the promising Gold ‘Camp of Kirkâ€" land will watch the response to this appeal with the greatest interest. The Kirkland Lake Gold Camp seems to be entering on a period of expansion and prosperity and the attitude of the Camp to such a worthy and desirable object as the Kirkland Lake Men‘s Association will throw an interesting light on the general standing of the community. For the Camp to ‘have already organized and established a Club of this description is assuredly to its credit, and if ‘the Association continues to receive the same generâ€" ous support and coâ€"operation the peoâ€" ple of the Kirkland Lake Camp will be marked out as particularly publicâ€" spirited and farâ€"seeing. Such an orâ€" ganization will not only ‘have its part in attracting the beter class of men to the Camp, but it will also do much to make life in the Camp pleasant, helpâ€" ful and wholesome.

DUBORD COMMITTED FOR . J TRIAL ON MURDER GHARGfx Last week at Cochrane Patrick Duâ€" bord, brought back from Montreal to face a charge of murdering Victor Galette at Frederickhouse last Deâ€" cember, was committed for trial when he appeared before Magistrate 8. J. Dempsay for preliminary hearing. Galette‘s body was found in a waterâ€" hole in the Frederickhouse wiver wifh the head crushed in, and Dubord who was living with him and who ‘had disâ€" appeared, was suspected. In a stateâ€" ment to the police, Dubord is said to have admitted killing Gallette, but claimed ‘that it was an accidental blow dealt while chopping wood t* caused the death. ‘The Crown, on the other ‘hand, last week ‘had evidence ready to show that an effort had been made to conceal all traces of blood, that the body had dbeen hidden beneath the ice in the wiver and other things done apparently not in keepâ€" ing with any theory of accident. Duâ€" bord will have to wait for trial until November next, the Spring Assizes being already over. In the meantime he will likely have to remain in jail, it not being eustomary to give bail on ‘mm‘d‘er charges. _ About the only chancee Dubord could ‘have of getting bail on so serious a charge is to be able to show that the dead man was killed in connection with an infracâ€" tion of the O.T.A.
