Some ftime Ago Mayor â€" yYLLZLL O3 Haileybury made some ser ious charges against the Chief of Police of thdt town, and asked ithe Couiteil to disâ€" charge the official. The Couneil reâ€" fused until an investigation should be held. A committee took up the matter and after a time suggested that the Chief resign. The Chief refused and instead, demanded a judicial investiâ€" gation. Last week the Council supâ€" pmtu«l the Chief‘s demand for a judiâ€" cial investigation and the charges acâ€" cordingly will be heard by the County Judge. Mayor W right is credited with saying that his w m(l should be suffieiâ€" ent to settle the matter, but faimâ€" mindâ€" ed peopleâ€" will feel that it the Chief ‘ Police of Haileybury is guilty of ‘}an.\' misconduct the facts should be made known and if he= is innocent that his innocense should be firmly esâ€" tablished.

The constable first picked up all the money he could find, then he picked up Mike.

CAPT. BAILEY PLEADS NOT GUILTY TO CHARGE. Capt. George Ts Bailey, one of the firs: doctors on the Transcontinental Railway, and formerly practising med icine at Cochrane, was arrainged in the Toronte Police Court last Thursâ€" day on a charge of violating the Miliâ€" tary Service Act.

Binny who gave much strenuous: service ‘to their country in times of war, should be placed in the position to give furâ€" ther direct service to the people in the ways of . peace. Appointments such that Seret.: Binny will "do much to convincee the people that«â€"the civil service reforms promised by the Union Government are he in practice.
