The fire was at 67 Com mercial Avenue, the residence of Mtr. and Mrs, Dubois, members of the family were out at the time, and the cause of the fire is not known, pro bably being due to spontaneous comâ€" bystion. When the firemen broke inâ€" to the house the smoke was very dense and the heat overpowering. Prompt and effective use of the hose, however, contfined the fire to a couple of rooms. There was general dramage by smoke and water, with two of the rooms imjured by the fire. There was no insurance on the furniture and only â€"small insurance on the house, so there will be a loss, but a much smallâ€" er one than would have heen the case had the brigade been less prompt or efficiest., .

Mrs. )}nrrison made a very plueky resistâ€" ance and ealled for help while resistâ€" i1g the holdâ€"up. No one came to her réscue in time, however, and the holdâ€" up men made good their escape. Mrs. Marrison says both men were Englishâ€" speaking. The crime was reported to the police and Chief Greer and his staff will get the guilty. parties. There are no undiscovered crimes in Timâ€" mins and the police are especially keen in seeing that the streets are safe for women. This is the first holdâ€"up reported to the police for years, though it is said that there have been some other cases of purses snatched from women in the evenings on ‘the River Road, the criminals in each case being said to simply tear away the purse or hand basg and run awavy. ~â€"In the recent campaign for the S.¢ Selfâ€"Denial Fund the Timmins Sa| vation Army colleated the very cred| table sum of $1066.57 for the goo| work of the Army. «Capt.

The Smooth Rock Falls Board believes that on account of the expense of attending meetings of the Associated Boards, it might be well to have the meetings only halfâ€" yearly instead of quarterly, with exâ€" ecutive meetings more frequently. Smooth Rock suggests that an execuâ€" tive be elected to include the Presiâ€" dent, Viceâ€"President, Secretaryâ€"Treaâ€" surer and five members, the territory to be divided into five districts and one member of the executive to be elected from each of the five districts, so that th executive might be fully representative of the whole territory.

BRUTAL MURDER WITH AXE AT RFARST LAST WEER Lait Monday afternoon the body of Wasgl Maxamon, watchman for the Thompsonâ€"Hyland Rossing Plant some nine miles from Hearst, was found in his tent, with the head almost comâ€" pletely severed from the body. _ It appeared as if the unfortunate man had been struck with a bar (or perâ€" haps the back of an axe) and then, when unconscious, slashed and eut with the blade of the axe. The spinal cord wasâ€"completely severed by one slash from the axe. The head was terribly eut and battered. The murâ€" der was of such brutal type as to reâ€" mind all of the recent atrocity at Isâ€" land Falls, north of Cochrane. ‘In this case the vietim was not known to have any money of any account. Maxamon lived alone and had no neighbors nearby. He was last seen on Sunday afternoon, So far as known he ‘had no enemies. The whole murder is surrounded by mystery.
