HARVEY COMES THIRD AMONG GANAOINS On Saturday afternoon the final stage of the shooting for the King‘s Prize at the meet at Bisley, England was held, Sapper A. Smith of the Royal Engineers winning the prize this year, with a score of 226 out of a possible 250, which was four shots lower than made by Lieut. Desmond Burke, last year‘s winner. Lieut. A. J. Harvey, the Timmins Lieut. A. J. Harvey, the ‘Timmins man on the Bisley team shot a 215, coming in third amongst the Canadian marksmen. In the final stage Lieut. Harvey scored a 64 out of a possible 75, shooting at 900 yards, and a 55 in shooting at 1000 yards. This is a very creditable score, and Timmins is justly proud of the records made by her representative at the Bisley meet, this being the first year a Timmins man has participated in the Empire classic. Lieut. Harvey was a member of the Canadian teams winning the Kolapore and MacKinnon Cups, won by South Africa last year, ranking high amqng iis compatriots in the â€" competition ‘or .these eups, as well as leading the anadian team in the second stage of the shoot for the King‘s Prize. Lieut. Harvey is to be congratulaâ€" ted on his splendid record, and if he did not win the King‘s Prize, he at least performed very creditably in the shooting. â€" Canada having won this the oldest of the Empire prizes last year, and the fact that the Prize is very seldom won by the same counâ€" try two years in succession, and this year was England‘s to get the covetâ€" ed honour, Timmins first representaâ€" tive on the Bisley team, Lieut. A. J. Harvey, can console himself with the thougkt that next year, results may be different, and the King‘s Prize be won by a Timmins man, bringing honâ€" our not only to the winner, but to his town and regiment, the 97th Algonâ€" quin Rifles HOLLINGER AGAIN WIN FROM CORNISH ONEâ€"ANDâ€" The Hollinger again defea'\\ed the Cornish Oneâ€"andâ€"All last night by a 2â€"nil margin and kept their unjlefeatâ€" ed record.

Tragedy at 158 Cedar Street, Friâ€" Donat Champagne, aged 24 years, of Cochrane, is dead ; Emile Baron, of 158 Cedar Street, is in the Timmins jail under a charge of murder; and Baron‘s wife, Mrs. Emile Baron, a woman of 21 or 22 years of age, is held under arrest as a material witâ€" ness. : On Friday morning Baron gave himself up to the police saying he had killed a man whom he had discovered in improper relation with Mrs. Baron. Baron‘s story to the police was that he had wakened up in the morning and found that his wife had left their bedroom. â€" Hearing a noise in the next room, which was oceupied by Chamâ€" pagne, he went into Champagne‘s room and found the couple in bed toâ€" gether. He said that he had grabbed up a hand axe and attacked Chamâ€" pagne. _ He remembered hitting him once on the head, but his recollection of subsequent events was not clear. Betrayed Husband Kills Offending Visitor With Axe As soon as this story was given to the police, Constables Cushing and Moore visited the house and also had‘ a doctor. there. Champagne was found with his head smashed by an axe. There were three blows struck with the axe. One smashed the base of the skull and another, with the edge of the axe cut the back of the head. So far as can be estimated the blows were struck about 6.15 a.m. Friâ€" day morning When the police and doctor arrived Champagne was still living, but was unconscious. He died at 8.15 about 2 hours afterwards. There were no signs of any struggle, and the account given by Baron seemed to be borne out by the evidence apparent. _ Mrs. Baron went to the home of a neighbour‘s and was afterâ€" wards taken in charge as a material witness. Saturday evening an inquest . was held into the death of Donat Chamâ€" pagme. Coroner H. E. Montgomery, presided, and the jury included Messrs T.â€"F. King, A. Borland, I. E. Dunn, A. F. Carriere, H. Charlebois, J. Jefâ€" frey and A. Caron. _ Evidence was given by Dr. Lewis, Constable Moore, Constable Cushing, Mr. T. Smith, Mrs. T. Smith and Mrs. Emile Baron. Crown Attorney Greer was present at the inquest and assisted in the preâ€" sentation of evidence. Constables Moore and Cushing gave evidence as to Baron coming to the police station, in company with Mr. T. Smith, and telling about what had happened at his home; they also gave evidence as to their visit to the home and what was found there. _ Baron EARNEST PLEA FOR GLEAN â€"POLITIGAL GONDMONS Mr. E. B. Ryckman, M.P., Toronto, at Meeting Here Monday Night. ‘ The outstanding feature of the Liberalâ€"Conservative public meeting in the New Empire Theatre on Monâ€" day evening was the earnest and thoughtful address by Mr. E. B. Rycekâ€" man, M. P., Toronto, a lawyer of abiâ€" lity and the President of the Dunlop Tire Co. Mr. Rycekman urged all to independent and eareful thought on matters political and to,strive to keep politics clean and honowrable. The meeting was not as largely atâ€" tended as might be the theatre being less than halfâ€"filled. Mr. Geo. A. D. Murray, President of the Timmins Conservative Association, ocâ€" cupied the chair and introduced the various speakers. Mr. Ray O‘Neill was the first speakâ€" er. . He said that he had expected the meeting to be in the nature of a comâ€" mittee meeting for organization purâ€" poses, but at the last meetimg found it was desired to have public a«ldresses so had secured the speakers of the evening. Mr. O‘Neill said that conâ€" ditions in the Dominion were in a wretched shape and it was time for a change in Government. He bkamed the King Government for the trouble of the Rouyn railway situation. Laâ€" ‘bour, he said, had also been illâ€"used by the Goverpment, the Nova Seotia sitâ€" mation being a case in point. Mr. Bastian, exâ€"M.P., of Ramore, was given a very hearty receeption. He spoke in both English and French, urging unity and the coâ€"operation of all to win vietory for the Conserâ€" vative party. Mr. E. B. Ryekman, M.P., Toronto, was the principal speaker of the evenâ€" ing and delivered an impressive and in formative address,. clear and well reaâ€" soned. He pointed out that not a sinâ€" gle act for the advantage of the counâ€" try at large had been inaugurated and carried through by the King Govâ€" ernment. â€" Taxation on necessities had been made burdensome and luxuries reélieved. â€" His chief objection, howâ€" ever, was that the King Cabinet had lowered the standard of public life day Morning. had told the officers that he had killed Champagne when he found the latter and Mrs. Baron together. Dr. Lewis gave evidence as to the injuries sustained by the dead man the location and nature of the wounds, ete. Champagne had not been conâ€" scious after the blow on the bhase of the skull and he was beyond medical help. Mr. T. Smith who lives next door to the Barons, told about Baron and Mrs. Baron coming to his home on the Friâ€" day â€" morning about o%‘clock. Baron told about killing Champagne and Mrs. Baron acknowledged the acâ€" curacy of her husband‘s story. Mrs. Smith‘s evidence corroborated that of Mr. Smith. Mrs. Smith in answer to a question said that Mr. Baron, who was a carpenter, was a wery indusâ€" trious man and well respected. He appeared to be a good husband, and she knew of no trouble between the couple. Mrs. Baron said she had been marâ€" ried 5 years. They had lived in Timâ€" mins about three months. She had known â€" Champagne in Cochrane. Champagne came down from Cochâ€" rane last week and had been visiting them for a couple of days. Her husâ€" band and Champagne and herself went to the show Tltursday evening, and after the show Champagne sugâ€" gested that she might visif his room durmg the night. _ She had rephed that .she might. _ About five o‘clock she left her husband asleep, and went into Champagne‘s room. About 6.15 her husband came in to the room. She crawled over the foot of the bed and got out of the room. She adâ€" mitted improper relations with Chamâ€" pagne on a previous oceasion, about three months before. She had not seen the striking of the blows with the axe. She and her husband have had no children. the witness testiâ€" fied. Baron did not give evidence at the inquest, reserving the telling of his story until his trial. Mr. A. C. Brown is defending Baron. After the evidence had been heard, the jury returned to bring in their verdict, which was to the effect that Champagne came to his death as a result of blows on the head from an axe in the hands of Emile Baron. Baron will be before Magistrate Atâ€" kinson toâ€"morrow (Thursday) for preâ€" liminary hearing on the charge of murder.

In regard to the tarâ€" iff he pointed out that «over 60 counâ€" tries had raised their tariffs simee the war, and Canada was ‘the one and only country to try tariffâ€"lowering. Canada had lowered its tariff three times._ He repeated the quotsion that there was no nnemployment situâ€" ation general in any eountmies Gther than England, Russia ~and Cansda. England, France, the United States, and other lands were recovering from the effects of the war. It was misâ€" management and misgovernment that kept Canada from equal reeovery. Mr. Ryckmar had a number of pointed questions with selfâ€"evident answers, showing a fair and stabilized Atarifft and that patriotism and selfâ€"interest alike dictate this. Mr. Ryekman eonâ€" cluded with an earnest plea for thought and study by all of the poliâ€" tical situation. During the evening a fine solo by Mr. Jas.
