He was unable to deal with them all in the one day as usual, and so Friday wias also given by him to the court here. One of the important cases to come before him was that of the Tremblay Brothers, charged with being defauitâ€" ers under the Military Service Act. These young men not only failed to observe the law â€" regarding military service, but they also failed to registâ€" en preflerreil agains?t taem Dub ib cer Tomlinson of the Dominion Police was content*to press the one charge against each of the Tremblays,â€"that of ‘being defaulters. _ The evidence showed®@iat the two young men had been staying in the bush to avoid military service, ‘being protected by certain signals to warn them of the approach of officers or others On one occasion officers gom'r tn the house to take them in charge had been driven away ‘by shotâ€"gun fire. Not only had the brothers avoided the law, but their defiance of the law had been of bad effect generally. The deâ€" fence of the Tremblays was that they had not known of the requirements of the law, but at the same time they admitted they had remained in the bush in hiding because they were aâ€" fraid of punishment. Magistrate Atâ€" kinson sentenced each of the men to three years in Kingston penitentiary. The Austrians who raised such a time recently in Moneta through : freeâ€"forâ€"all fight in which hand axes figured also had their cases disposed of. For want of material evidence and because of the Austrian stories told by the witnesses there was no conviction in any of the eases heard on Thursday, all being dismissed. In connection with this ease one Austriâ€" an was committed some weeks ago to stand trial before the Judge for asâ€" aas The case against X. Lalonde was reâ€" manded for a week. Walter Wilson for having liquor illegally was fined $200.00 and costs, and C. Houle was given a similar penâ€" veral 16 a I stration ugat 1 hut was ulnhned pit and cosfts ITor Jeng drunk and a Polack paid $300 00 for ilegally having liquor. â€" The latter ease was the one in which a still figâ€" ured. Tha ¢own police picked up a drunken man and found a bottle on him. HMe told where he secured the bottle, and from the second man thus mixed in the case came th. tip that brought in the Polack. The house of the latter baek in the bush in the Towuship of Tisdale was visited Wedâ€" ne«day night last hy a group of Town and Township police. _A still was located in the house, as well f#s a qitantity of homeâ€"made whiskey ard aâ€" hundred #allons of tmash. The some of the otuer evidence. 1t was expected that the case would be held over until the Inland Rovenue Officer could lay the charge for illegal possâ€" ession for a still, but Constable Rayâ€" ecroft thought it best to go on with what could be done at ones. Aceordâ€" ingly the alion was charged with alleâ€" gally having liquor and the $300 00 fine was imposed by the Magistrate The other important case beforeé the Court was the prelimifnary hearing givert Mary Norlock, charged with murder Chief Chas. Melunis, of Tisdale, had two Austrians before the Court charged with not reporting as alien enomies. â€" Each of the men paid a fine of $100.00 and costs for the impudent carelessness shown. Fort Matatchewan district. The comâ€" pany being formed expects rot only to be ready to supply power to the onerâ€" ators in the Fort Matatchew@an field but also to take care of the Gowganda district. There ‘are important water powers all through the North Land and Fort Matachewan district is speci ally blessed in this particular,. _ To sugzest the development of water pow There are said to be active preparaâ€" tions under way looking to the develâ€" opment of the wiater power in the er for an undeveloped district would have been considered very premature some years agzo, but nowadays there is so much general faith in the fuâ€" ture of the North Land that almost any kind of commereial or industrial venture may be expected. 1 ( HA 1 | I | 1 % 6 \' L i * % a C NH i 1) . 14 x d Pa V » p ola MA 1d 1 "l)‘:'\ '|; }hlitl 1;11;1 1 it I To p ®300 O0 Â¥* % % l'.l \. e ~ w «/ % t # ba ise, and the 3 with them as still AS
