Part in Fight, Claimi Faithful Dog Tries to Assist Dying Master Stricken Prospector Warmed by Canine Friend in Cold Cabin Near Gowganda Stricken with pneumonia in his lonely cabin, eight miles from Gowganda, at the Haultain Mine, Jim Fletcher, old timer of the Northern mining camps was so far gohe when his plight was dis- covered by Harold Parker, trap- per, that he died some thirteen hours later. He was found by Harold Parker, stretched on his bed in the cabin, covered witha single blanket, and with his faith- ful dog lying across his body giving the only warmth to the suffering man that was available. The bedclothes had slipped from the bed, the stovepipes in the little cabin had fallen down and the unfortunate man was so far gone that Dr. G. R. Crann sum- moned from Gowganda, could do nothing to save his life. He died without regaining consciousness. So far as could be ascertained, Mr. Fletcher had been suffering for some days: When Mr. Park- er passed through the Haultain property he saw no sign of life and went to the shack, where he forced the door in and discover- ed the suffering man. After get- ting a fire on in the stove he went to summon help and Dr. Crann and D. Hellens came quickly from the Castle-Trethe- wey Mine. The latter remained with Parker, after the medical man had. done all he 'could to re- lieve the stricken prospector, un- til death occurred. Fletcher was 57 years of age. ' The late Mr: Fletcher was born in» 1872 at Point levis, arid came to the North,Contry 25 ago. He was employed at the Trethewey Mine when he first arrived in Cobalt, and in 1907, he went into the Gowganda district. He enlisted with the 228th Batta- lion for service oyerseas. On his return he went back into Gow- ganda. For the past three years he had been caertaker at the Haultain. His wife died ten years ago.

Charbonneau, who 'has been mayor of Haileybury for 'the past 18 months, was givena \majority of 282 over his oppon- 'ent, Jos. A. Legris, ex-mayor jand former member of the coun- 'cil. The voting did-not stir up jany undue interest, Mr. Legris having declared through the |press that he considered himself elected by acclamation and would take no part in the election Mh spite of this there was almost \two thirds of the number of votes polled that was the case at the last mayoralty contest in Janu- ary of this year, when Mr. Char- bonneau defeated Mr. Pipe. The number at that time was 635, while on Monday there were 400 votes polled. polling subdivision there was a majority for "Mr. Charbonneau. The vote war lar- ger in proportion to the last con- test at the south end of the town than in the north and the centre, but the figures were pretty much in the same proportion. In every When the returns were handed in to the Town Clerk, as return- ing officer, in the evening, there were only a few citizens present. These included Mr. Charbonneau, who received the congratulations of those in the offices.
