Cb C One of the civil cases of special interest was the case of Mrs. Shipâ€" pam. of Schumacher, against . Feldâ€" man Brothers. _ Mrs. Shippam had leased a property with the option of purchase at a stated figure at the exâ€" piry. of the lease. In the meantime a specially good business had been established and thus the stand had acquired special value. Mrs. Shipâ€" pam wished to exercise the right to purchase, but was informed that by mistake one of the brothers had signed the lease and agreement while the property was owned by another Philip Usoff, acecused of shooting at his wife and a man in whose comâ€" pany he found her at a foreign roomâ€" ing house in Ansonville last June, was sentenced to one month in jail. He was charged with attempted murâ€" der and also with maiming or atâ€" tempting to main. He had no money and said*the had no money to secure legal talent. Mr. Justice Fisher comâ€" mented on the clearâ€"cut appearance of Usoff, and eventually the accused was fortunate enough to have Mr. A. C. Brown assigned as defence counâ€" sel. After an adjournment Mr. Brown brought out much in Usoff‘s favour, including the fact that he had given good service in the Canadian forces overseas, that he had enjoyed a genâ€" eral good reputation, and that though he had admitted to firing two shots when he found his wife and a man in a room with their arms round each other, the shots had not been aimed to hit but to frighten. Mr. Brown put up such a good case generally for this client, that on pleading guilty to the lesser charge against him, Usoff was given only a month‘s imâ€" prisonment. Joseph Lauzon, charged with an offence against a Timmins girl unâ€" der 14 years of age, was found guilty and sentenced to two years and a half in prison. The defence centered largely on proving the character of the girl in the case. At one time it looked as if Lauzon might get a long term ‘with the lash added, but evenâ€" tually the milder sentence noted was given him. Mr. A. C. Brown was deâ€" fence counsel in this case. The other criminal case before Mr. Justice Fisher was a charge of theft against M. A. Lamarche, a former employee of the Stevens Catering Co. at Island Falls. This case was traâ€" versed to the June Sessions. Mr. Gordon Shaver, of Toronto, acted as Crown Prosecutor, with Mr. John M. Greer, County Crown Atâ€" torney. HUSBAND SHOT AT WIFF, oENTENGED TO ONF MONTH Lauzon Sentenced to Two Years and a Half for Offence Against 14â€" Yearâ€"Old Girl. Two Chinamen, Bing Lee and Lee Wing, charged by Sergeant Pasco of the R.C.M.P., with bribery with the purpose of inducing him to withdraw charges of illegal possession of opiâ€" um, were aequitted by the jury. The counsel in this case included Messrs. H. L. Slaght and G. H. Gauthier. At the Cochrane Assizes last week with Mr. Justice Fisher presiding, there were three criminal cases of special interest to this district. AABULLLILGUT 3 CE ICCU. Supplement to The Porcupine Advance, Wednesday, April 15th. brother. . Mrs. Shippam entered suit against all concerned to secure the fulfilment of the agreement. _ Mr Justice Fisher thought that the plainâ€" tiff was entitled to redress from someone in the matter, and suggested that the parties reach an agreement. The conference resulted in a settleâ€" ment whereby the terms of the lease as to purchase by Mrs. Shlppam were agreed to. a substitute. Not one of the officers present (and most of them were there) failed to provide at least one special number to the programms, which proved a very attractive one. The President, Mr,. D. Mackie, occeuâ€" pied the chair for the evening and the large attendance present had a pleasâ€" ant time from first to last. A feature of the evening‘s programme was the Highland Fling, as danced by little Misses May Moore, Margaret Geil and Maisie Roberts. This number roused very hearty and amerited applause. There were songs by Mrs. A. Roberts Mrs. W. D. Watt, Mr. J. Liddle, Mr. A. Roberts, Mr.G. Ritchie, Mr. J. M. Nicolson and Mn. D. Mackie. These numbers discovered talent in the Society not ‘hitherto brought forward, and some of those who ifavoured the audience with songs for the"first time will ‘be expected to contribute thein excellent talent again. Mr. Ritchie‘s fine voirce made a special hit. Mrs. Watt‘s solo also won very enthusiastic encore. â€" By special request, absolutely refusing to be denied, Mrs. A. Roberts rendered ‘‘The Auld (Pair of Tawse,"‘ and was heartily encored. Mr. A Roberts did double share in contributâ€" ing to the evening‘s pleasure, not only directing the luncheon as usual but also responding to the request for a song, and winning heartiest applause Jock Nicolson‘s rendition of the Porâ€" cupine Song was another hit. Ag an encore he gave a good Service reading Messrs, Liddle and Mackie, as usual, won the ibest of words for thein solos. Mrs. G. A. Macdonald‘s rendition of the reading, ‘‘The Ghost of Nelson.‘ won very ‘hearty recall, the numben in response also ffinding favour. The gathering was pleaged with the readâ€" ing by G. A. Macdonald, ‘desertbing the formation of a country Canadian Patriotic, in which Irish, English and Scottish got into such an argument that the meeting had to be concluded. There was the usual dancing, Messrs. G. Hale, J. T. Bridges and A. Gordon furnishing the musie. A special Paul Jones dance was an interesting num ber. _ Every new night seems to ‘be the ‘‘best yet‘‘ at the Caledonian Society and many felt like referring thus to the regular meeting on Friday ev emng last, in the Hollinger Recreation Hall. It was Executive Night, and each member of the Executive was expected to either contribute personally to the numbers on the programme or provide EXECUTIVE NIGHT AT THE CALEDONIAN SOCIETY Mrs. J. C.
