_ â€"IHEâ€" PORCUPINE ADVANCE â€"â€"_â€" MAVOR REâ€"ELECTED BV AGCLAMATION FOR 1972 WThe result of the nominations for the 1922 Mayor and Council may be summarized by stating that the Mayor is elected by acclamation but there will be a contest for the six seats in the Council. Eleven were nominated for the Council and all had qualified before eight o‘clock last night, with the exception of Mr. Hall, who has not the necessary qualifications. With one exception none of the new men nominated would add any strength to the Council as constituted during the past year, so there is not likely to be much change in the personel of the €ouncil. 'f‘,he 1921 Counncil is ackâ€" nowledged axs a capable and publicâ€" spirited offe, giving the best of attenâ€" tion and service. Eleven Nominated for Councillors, All But One Qualified. Eilection Next Monday. « Only a few citizens attended the noâ€" minations for Mayor and Councillors at the Town Hall on Monday of this week. ‘The nominations falling on Christmas Day, or rather the day genâ€" erally observed thsi year as Christmas Day, made it inconvenient for most ciâ€" tizens to attend. The Council of the past year has also apparently given the best of satisfaction generally, so there was no special issue to arouse any particular interest. ‘The nominations made were as folâ€" Â¥For Mayorâ€"Dr. J. A. (Melnnis. No other nominations being made for Mayor, Dr. J. A. Melnnis was deâ€" clared duly elected by. acclamation. This is the fourth time that Dr. Melnâ€" nis has been elected Mayor of Timâ€" mins. In 1919 Dr. Mcinnis was electâ€" ed for the first time as Mayor after wviving good service on the Council for several years. In 1920 he was electâ€" ed by acclamation. This year he had a eontest but again was elected by a large majority vote. For the coming year he will be Mayor again by acâ€" clamation. Dr. MeInnis has given very generous and unselfish service to the town and his acclamatiog this year is evidence of the general appreciation. (Nelson E. Wadsworth, by L T. Hall and C. L. Martin. J. E.

COUNGILLORS GAVE VERY 6000 SERVICE 18 1921 The Mayor took occasion to express his appreciation of the good work of the Councillors during the past year. Dr. Mclunis pointed out that there had been the most pleasant harmony all through the year and a great deal of good work had been done. The Councillors one and all had shown an attention and interest that was very gratifying. The regular afttendance at the meetings was worthy of notse, alls the Councillors throughout the year making a point of being present at the meetings even at the cost of their personal convenience. They had given their time and talent in publicâ€" spirited way to the service of the town and the result had been of much advantage to the community. The Mayor expressed the opinion that the 1921 Council hadqgi\'en such thoughtâ€" ful and unselfish service that he hoped that each and every member would be back at the Council Board for the coming year to earry along the muniâ€" cipal work so well attended to during the past year. After the business of the Council, there was a session as a Court of Reâ€" vision, chiefly to deal with Income Tax cases.

McGORD OF TORONTO REFFREE TRURSDAY FV‘G Mr, MceCord, of Toronto, a wellâ€" known hockey expert, will referee the game here toâ€"morrow night between TIroquois Falls and Timmins. The game will start at 8.15 p.m. sharp, and Troquois Falls is coming .here with a bumper crowd of rooters for the event. Timmins, of course, will have a big turnout of its own for this game to cheer. the boys on to viectory. Reservâ€" ed. seats are now on sale at the rink for the game. # The lineâ€"up for the game toâ€"morrow (Thursday) will be about the same as for the game at the Falls last week, though it is understood that Patsy Parker may be included this week in the lineâ€"up. The game tomoorrow (Thursday) night will no doubt be a lively one and much better hockey than last week‘s game at the Falls, ‘The Falls will have to travel lively‘ here. They are likely to find the whole game like the last ten minutes of last Thursday‘s game when they were on the anxious seat every minute. MUNICIPAL NOMINATIONS AT COBALT THIS WEEK "The following were the nominations on Monday at Cobalt:â€" For Mayorâ€"T. Reilly, W. R. Lowâ€" ery, M. McKinnon, P. MéeLennan, P. A. (MeDonald, E. F.

T 6k Troquois Falls won the opening game in the Senior N.O.H.A. series with Timmins at the Falls on Thursâ€" day evening last, with the score standâ€" ing 5 to 4 when the bell rang. This is the first time in two years that the Falls has won from Timmins in hoâ€" ckey, and had the game continued for Bveâ€" or six minutes longer the score would have been different.. Timmins made a great comeâ€"hback in the last part of the last period, scoring two goals in the last few minutes and making the Fallsâ€"team step lively inâ€" deed. On the Play the Best Team Won, but Timmins Made the Falls Very Anxious in Lively Last Ten Minutes. About three hundred went down for the game on the special train from here. . About 150 tickets were sold for the special at Timmins and numbers joined the crowd at other stations along the Branch. In addition a large number who were going south for the holidays were able tto break their journey and run in to the Falls to see the match, the National heing several hours late that evening. Accordingly, the crowds from the Poreupine made a very good showing with the attendâ€" ance from the Falls itself. ; ~The game had to be delayed on acâ€" count of the nonâ€"arrival of the official referee. On account of the train from the south being late, the officials had to come to the Falls by hand car, a&râ€" riving in time for the second period. By the suggestion of the Falls team Geo. Lake handled the game in the first period, the work being taken over by the officials,; Speck Bailey, of Haileybury, referee, and Leo Masterâ€" son, Haileybury, judge of play, on their arrival. IROQUOIS FALLS WINS OPENING HOCKFY EAME In the first period neither team seemed to be able to get going at first, and the puck was much of its time around centre ice. McGuire eventualâ€" ly showed them how to do it, going down and having a shot at the Falls net, but without luck. Later the Falls had the luck of getting the first goal of the season, Chirkoski being creditâ€" ed with the score. Quesnel passed to Chirkoski who shot, but Seully saved. The puck rolled and hit Cameron‘s stick rebounding in the nets before Sceully had a chance to see it or save it again. Oscar Cox showed he did not likebghis, by making a whirlwind trip down the ice, a clever pass to MeCurâ€" ry, who scored, and the score was tied. The rest of the period was featured by heavy attacks by Brydge, Quesnel and Fluker, with another seore resultâ€" ing, Brydge getting the puck in the nets. Scully made a number of exâ€" cellent saves. ‘Timminsâ€"Scully, goal; Cox and Cameron, defence; Campbell, right; MceGuire, centre; MceCurry, left; spares, Brennan and Kelly. Troquois _ Fallsâ€"Corbould, goal; Brydse and Wilson,,defence; Fahey, right; Quesnel, centre; iChirkoski, left; spares, Fluker and Brickenden. The lineâ€"up of the teams was as folâ€" lows :â€" In the second period the Falls was on the offensive, Brydge doing conâ€" siderable heavy work, his size and weight giving him an advantage in this. However, in & collision with ,a couple of Timmins players he got a bad fall on the ice, cutting his head. He was replaced for a time by Fluker. Before he went off, however, he had a number of shots on the nets after breaking past the defence, but Seully looked after them all. The scorer for this period was Quesnel, the Falls‘ clever little centre who played a good game all evening. Quesnell seored two in this period. Brydge on his reâ€" turn to the ice gave Scully more work, but Scully was equal to it, though Brydge did get the credit of adding another to the seore. It is claimed that Brydge knocked this one in with his hand, but the referee allowing it as a score, nothing can be said furâ€" ther. Campbell made one of the finest scores of the evening in this period, sending a beauty past Corbould for the count. The second period ended, Falls 5, Timmins 2. ; In the third period the Falls boys seemed to wish to rest on their oars as it were, and play nothing more strenuous than a defensive. But the Timmins boys staged a number of agâ€" gressives that made the Falls supportâ€" ers stand in the way of the anxious. Cox made a number of fine old rushes, one of which resulted in a direct seore, In addition Oscar‘s good work and his clever passing gave several other good opportunities that were lost because support was not there or Corbould was there, or ~sometimes a liftle of both. Some clever combination work between McGuire, MeCurry and Kelly * ols Eight Men Held in Connection With the Death. Inqusost to be Held Tomorrow Morning. John Linski, a foreigner, met death in a boarding house at Schumacher on Sunday evening. When the police were ealled in by one of the other boarders they found Linski lying on floor, apparently seriously injured, but still alive. His head and face had been battered, apparently by kicks from rough boots, and his neck was broken. ‘The police were summoned about 7 o‘clock, and Officer Daly at once had the injured man carried to one of the rooms and a doctor hastily summoned. ‘The doctor‘s examination showed a number of injuries sufficient to cause death, in addition to the broâ€" ken nock. Linski passed away in a couple of hours, it being impossible to save his life. As a consequence of the occurrence eight men who were in the house at the time the deceased "was inâ€" jured are being held by the police. An inquest will be held at Schumacher toâ€"morrow (Thursday) morning at 9 o‘clock. At the present time it is not known how the fatality occurred. It is genâ€" erally taken for granted that Linski was set upon by some of the men in the house and battered up. One stoâ€" ry has it that the broken neck reâ€" sulted from Linski being knocked downstairs after being hit by one or more of t#he men. It is also reported that the men at the house had been doing much drinking on the day in question and that trouble arose from the warâ€"time bitternegs between the Austrians and the Russians. All of this, however, is merely conjecture, though a number of faects may be learned at the inquest. tomurrow. Among the eight men held by the poâ€" lice in commection with the \dleath are A. Bogamels Ifike Rubba and 8. Markovitch and five others with unâ€" pronounceable and unspellable na mes. Bogdnick is the man said to be in charge of the boarding house, having rented it from M. Krankoviteh who formerly conducted "the place. The police are working on the case and no steps are being missed to bring to punishment those responsible for the man‘s death. Difficulty is being enâ€" countered in the twisted stories told of what did or did not occur, but these stories are all being sifted and proâ€" gress being made to arriving at the facts of the case. Officers R. Allen is working with the Schumacher and Tisdale police in securing the truth about the death of Linski. * MAN KILLED OX SUNDAY EVENING AT SCHUMACHER Linski was only about 24 years of age and unmarried. He is understood to have been planning to go back very shortly to Austria. MR. R. LEHEUP CANDIDATE FOR HAILEYBURY MAYORALTY Mr. R. LeHeup, for several years a capable and esteemed town councillor for the Town of Haileybury, is a canâ€" didate this year for the Mayor‘s Chair in the Conunty Town. His friends in this Camp, and they are many, will wish him suceess in the race. resulted in the fourth score for Timâ€" mins, MeGuire batting it in. By this time Timmins fans thought of a win or at least a tie, but the time proyed too short, and the seore closed 5 to 4. A mixâ€"up between a couple of the opposing players,â€"Cameron and Faâ€" hey,â€"was a regrettable incident though Cameron was apparently not to blame. Both were put off,. There was also perhaps a little too much roughness at times in the , game, though this may have been ï¬ue to awkwardness af the opening of the season, rather than to any desire to do injury to anyone. Cameron, Brydge and MceCurry were in turn laid out on the ice and retired for recuperation. The game would hardly be termed a rough one, but it was certainly more interesting in the smooth, swift parts where there was no sign of roughness. As the season progresses the clean, swift hockey will no doubt be the rule. In the play of the evening Itroquois Falls won on merit. The Falls has a promising team, the centre man, Quesâ€" nell, showing up especially well, and Corbould being very dependable in the nets. The Falls is also strong on the defence. On the other hand the Poreupine team has still more proâ€" mising material, and pulling together and with team work, can win back the laurels from the Falls. Oscar Cox was a strong man on the team Thureâ€" day evening; Sceully did well in goal; and the team generally showed tHhat with combination work and team play ‘they will get there all right.
