On Saturday last an operation was performed at the St. Mary‘s Hospitâ€" al ‘on Pete Pecucci, the man brought in from Nellie Lake a month ago, having béen shot in the shoulder on August 16th, the bullet travelling along the back through one kidney. When brought in here Pecueer was taken to the Cairns Hospital. There did not seem to be a chance in a thousand for his recovery. He lost enough blood to account for the death of two or three ordinary men. He was cared for, however, and everything possible done for him, and his marvellous vitality was soon evident. Although the doctors gave him up from the beginning, they conâ€" tinued to do all possible for him, and he continued living under khandiâ€" caps that would kill the usual man. It was found impractical to operate to remove the bullet, the doctors beâ€" ing of the opinion that this operation would simply hasten his death. He continued, however, to bleed inwardâ€" ly and it was to relieve this condition that Saturday‘s operation was perâ€" formed. A specialist was here from Toronto and with Dr. Moore perâ€" formed the operation. The bullet was not removed, this not being necessary ut the time. The man made a good recovery from the operâ€" ation, considering all the suffering he had endured. Although it is not exâ€" pected that he can rectover, last night he was still living and promisâ€" ing to upset all the medical traditions and theories. f Pecueer was shot at Nellie Lake early in the morning of August 16th. It was evening before he was brought to Timmins to the hospital. In the meantime he had suffered so much and lost so much blood that there were no hopes of his recovery. On what was thought to be his deathbed he told.the police the story of the shooting. He said <that he and a man named Smith had been making and drinking home brew. He had gone to his own shack, but returned early in the morning to suggest the sending home of a woman at Smitlt‘s place. The woman had met him »at the door and shot him thrice, the one bullet going into his back and the other grazing his head. Smith and the woman say that Pecueei had a gun and that the woman shot because she was afraid of him, but Pecucei denies this and maintains his story, just as he continues living, despite the chanee to the contrary. TIMMINS, .ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17th, 1925 The whole town and district were zrieved and shocked on Saturday last b} the news ‘of the sad death by drowning of Mr. Daniel W. O ‘Sulliâ€" van, one of the North‘s leading barâ€" risters and solicitors and most useful citizens. The accident occurâ€" red about six o‘clock Saturday evenâ€" ing. Mrs., A. 8. Fuller had been enâ€" tertaining a group of friends at Sandy Falls, and the party came back on the Steamer Minga to eall for bour gentlemen who were to join the party after the golf matches of the day. Mr. O ‘Sullivan was among this group of four. He was standing at the back of the boat enjoying a cup of coffee and chatting with friends. The boat backed out from the shore and was turning round in readiness for proâ€" ceeding up the river again. Suddenly those at the back of the boat were startled to see Mr. O‘Sullivan fall into the river. It may have been that thinking he would sit down on the railing Mr. O‘Sullivan sat down on the chain that guards part of the back of the boat, and the chain slipâ€" ping underneath him had ecaused him to fall over into the water. Or it may have been that a jolt made by the boat in stopping to turn caused him to overbalance himself. In any event Mr. O‘Sullivan was unexpectedly thrown into the water. Almost beâ€" fore anyone realized that an accident had happened Mr. O‘Sullivan called out cheerfully that he was all right, and then he struck out to swim to shore. _ He was swimming strongly and soon had covered nearly all the distance to the shore. Then suddenâ€" ly, when he was within ten feet of one of the small doeks, his hands went up and he sank out of sight. As soon as it was possible to crei: to the place where he had gone down, memâ€" bers of the party were diving in etâ€" forts to locate Mr.: O‘Sullivan. Messrs C.â€"G. Williams and H. Darling were among those making the most persisâ€" tent ~efforts to locate the drowning man. In the meantime others had phoned for Dr. Moore and for the priest, both arriving at the river in very short time, and, the priest adâ€" ministering the last rites â€"of â€" the church from the river bank. Chief of Police M. Greer was also among those early on the scene of the accident.and he took charge of the direction of the work of locating the body. _ Grapâ€" pling irons were put into use and after about two hours of anxious work, in which Mr.. F. M. Wallingford gave special assistance, the body was reâ€" covered just about the spot where Mr. O‘Sullivan had gone down. There was little water in the lungs, and this would suggest that the shock, the severe exertion and the chill of the water had proven too much and had affected Mr. O‘Sullivan‘s heart. This theory is supported by the fact that he had been swimming strongly and . ht ce ns ces ic i nstsm ie usn n sn __â€"___â€"__â€"___.â€"_â€"___â€"__â€"_â€"â€"â€".â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"' ns amcamecmamen smm mm ) the: marriage taking place at Cheboyâ€" gan. â€" Mr. O ‘Sullivan returned here with his bride and here the young peoâ€" ple have béen especially ])Opllldl' in social circles.

O‘Sullivan Loses Life" In Mattagami River Saturday Fell From Steamer Minga. â€" Swam Towards Shore But Went Down a Few Feet From Safety. Death Believed to be Due to Heart Attack. Mr. O‘Sullivan Was One of the Most Popular and Gifted of the Professional Men of the North. late D. W. O‘Sullivan was the son of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Q‘Sullivan, and was born‘at London, Ount., on November 5th, 1888, thus being 36 years of age at the time of his death. His early education was received in London, and later he attended Sandâ€" wich College, near Windsor, proving a brilliant student. _ Then he went to Hamilton where he studied law in the office of that noted Canadian lawyer, (Geo. Lynchâ€"Staunton, K.C., now Dominion Senator. _ Mr. O‘Sullivan took a course in law at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, graduating in . 1912, taking his degree as barrister and being enâ€" rolled as a solicitor. The five years from 1912 to I917 he ‘spent in the offices of Slaght Slaght, lawyers of outstanding ability, and the experience gained there, together with his natural ability and thoroughness, made D. W. O‘Sullivan an outstanding member of his profession in this North. Coroner H. E. Montgomery was notified of the tragedy and, after hearâ€" ing the details of the accident, found an inquest unnecessary. then suddenly, when within a few feet of safety, had gone down. At the beginning of 1918 Mr. O ‘Sulâ€" livan was appointed Town Solicitor for Timmins, and this post he held with credit to himself and satisfacâ€" tion and adtantage to the municipality until the day of his death. Early in 1917 Mr. O‘Sullivan visited Timmins on professional business for Slaght Slaght, and so striking an impression: did this talented young man make, that when he opened pracâ€" tice here for himself later in the year he had a noteworthy clientele from the very beginning, and at the time of his death he had built up one of the finest law practices in the North Land.

The large attendance of mourners «proved the sincere sorrow felt at the untimeâ€" ly death. Very few funerals here have been so largely attended. The profusion ‘of floral tributes from orâ€" ganizations and individuals and the number of spiritual offerings also spoke eloquently of the estean in which the deceased was held and the sympathy for those bereaved. _ The flags on the schools, the town office, the fire hall, the Hollinger and on other business and professional buldâ€" ings were at half mast.
