Sanctuaries Stop Needless Slaughter (By Lance Connsry) Jack Miner has always been unâ€" flinching in his opposition to unnetesâ€" sary slaughter of wild life, but he sees no harm in takinz a limited number of wild fowl each year when an excess of game permits. Killing just for its own sake is autoâ€" matically wiped out wherever the Jack Miner sanctuary system is in operation. At his Kingsville sanctuary birds have sought refuge for 36 years when gunâ€" fire in the district became too concenâ€" trated. Migratory Bird Treaty Helps Protect Ducks and All wild birds and animals are wards of the government, and the government accordingly has the right to regulate the shooting of its charges, and to proâ€" claim open and closed seasons on variâ€" cus ones. A perpstual closed season exists in certain areas called Crown game preserves or sanctuaries.

The elderly man, resident of Cobalt for 32 years, died a few minutes later in the municipal hospital. His. in luries, according to Dr. H. A. Dunâ€" ning, who performed an autopsy on the body, included a broken neck, "probâ€" ably the result," witness swore, "of a sudden twisting of the body." There was no sign of direct violence to the neck, the doctor said, in declaring death to have been due to shock from hemâ€" orrhages and a partial severance of the spinal cord. Onus for Accident on Lad of Seventeen Coroner‘s Jury at Cobalt Places Responsiblity for Death of Pioneer Resident Coroner Dr. J. A. Kane presided and, with Crown Attorney J. B. Robinson, examined the witnesses. Out a half hour, the jurors reported they found Lemire to have been negligent, in their opinion, in that he had not "taken proper precautions." Eight witnesses, including Lemire and his companion in the car, Fred Presse, testified at the proceedinzs, but no one admitted havâ€" ing seen Bastien before he was struck, ‘and the occupants of the machine aâ€" greed they had not observed the man until the car hit him as he was crossâ€" ing from the west to the east side of the street, and apparently almost diâ€" rectly in front of the automobile. L2â€" mire swore "I didn‘t see anything; I just heard a bang," and Presse‘s eviâ€" dence on this point was, "I didn‘t see anything at all until we hit him." The car, a 1933 model sedan Leâ€" mire‘s father had obtained in a tradeâ€" in, could not ravel fast, according to the police, but its "brakes were not very good and its lights very poor," Provincial Constable Stromberg said. The officer swore the lights would go on and off while the car was standâ€" ing» and both this witress and Chief of Police Connelly told the court Leâ€" mire, after the accident, had informâ€" ed them his lights had failed a short distance south of the point where the man was struck. Testifying himself, Lemire told the jury he "coduldn‘t tell if the lizshts went out," and said he may have told the police they did in the excitement following the accident. He admitted the battery was weak, and said the "lights were not first class, but they were good." Presse declared the car had not been used at night before, and Constable Stromberg said Lemire kad toid him he thought it good enâ€" ough for a trip downtown. Weather ‘conditions at the time of the accident were "a drizzling wet night" as one witness put it, and Leâ€" mire claimed there was not very much light from street lamps near the scene of the fatality. Mrs. Iris O‘Shaughâ€" nessy, proceeding south on the t sidewalk, declared the car was comâ€" ing ‘"not what yclu would call fast" and that "the lights of the car looked all right to me." She had not seen them go out right after the aceident. She Ead seen a shadow and the car swerve to the left "just before the crash," and previously she had seen nothing on the road. Leo Filion, a boy going north on the west sidewalk, and who had overtaken Bastien down the street, heard the crash of the accident, but had nct seen it, and police witnesses agreed Loemi:> had told them he had not seen the man until he was struck. Lemire, who gave his evidence with the protection of the court, was reâ€" piesznted by D. G. Dean, Haileybury barrister. Mrs. Sarah Lajole, niece of the victim, said her uncle‘s ‘hearing and eyesight "seemed all right for a man Oof his years."> Bloodstains found cn the road were four feet in from the eastern edge of the pavement, Conâ€" stable Stromberg said, and more than 11 feet from the sidewalk. Th lower part of Bastien‘s right leg had susâ€" tained a bad compound fracture, Dr. Dunning said, and the man died shortâ€" ly after he had been admitted to hosâ€" pital. The accident happened between two street lizhts, located on the west side of the street, and the car, proâ€" ceedingnomhonthem.de carried the victim about 25 feet, police said. shooflng with the end of live decoys and baited fields.
