Referâ€" ence was made to the story told the police by. Perucei before he â€"died. This story briefly was to the effect that he went to a neighor‘s to stop what appeared to be a quarreling. He claimed that he was unarmed, but that Mrs. Whitlock shotâ€"him while he was struggling with:one of the men. The evidence of Mr. and Mrs. Whitlock and, of one of the Smiths particularly, . appeéared to ‘disprove Perucei‘s claims. It seemed to be generally admitted that there had been considerable drinking of homeâ€" brew during the day. Then, it was asserted, Perucei had come to the house, ‘threatening the "three who were there. He had a gun, they said, and they were afraid that he might kill them,. Mrs. Whitlock had shot Perucei in self protection, they elaim, Provincial Officers Delves and Finger gave evidence as to their work in the case. The jury returned the verdict referred to awhove. : Perâ€" ruei was brcught into Timmins to the Hospital here on August 17th.

Davis, former president and manager of the Hazel Lorâ€" rain Silver Mines Syndicate and inâ€" terestedâ€" in many {mining ventures in Northern Ontario, was sentenced to two years‘ imprisonment by His Honor Judge Valin, this week, when the accused was convicted of obtainâ€" ing money under false pretences on two counts. Davis was sentenced to one year on each count, the terms to run concurrently, _ The evidence of the crown witnesses disclosed a scheme to unload mining stock on the public and along these lines the acâ€" cused had obtained money on two notes, â€"one from W.G. Otto for $75 and one from Albert L. Johnson for $200. Mr. Otto, a member of the Hazel Lorrain company, testified that he had been induced by the aceused to buy additional stock and had taken three shares for which he had given two notes, one for $75 and one for $150. _ He understood that by the time these notes were due there would be suffici@@t dividends to meet the notes and pay a forty per cent. bonus. When they were due, there was not sufficrient dividends and Davis took a new note for $225 promising to lift the two old ones. He failed to lift the $75 one and cashed both it and the $225 one at the Bank of Nova Scotia. The same principle was workâ€" ed in the Johnsom ease. Crown Atâ€" torney T. E.

The O.F.A. has arranged that there will be no conflicting events in Toronto on Saturday, as there was last year, and an unusually big ecrowd is expected at the Ontario Cup final in Toronto. There is also a biz crowd expected here to watch (hy bulleftin) the progress of the match. In ease of rain or inclement weather here, arrangements will be made to use the Town Hall for the crowd and the bulletins will be carried across to the crowd as soon as they are received. However, it is hoped that the weaâ€" ther will be of the best both here and at Toronto, and the match the same. According to information given in this week‘s North Bay Nugget Ben. F. Davis, well known in this section of the country where he sold quite a quantity of mining stocks, has been sentenced to a year‘s imprisonment on charges of obtaining money under false pretences. The Nugget says:â€" Letter Pushed Under Door of Adâ€" vance Office says there are. NORTH BAY BROKER GETS ONE YEAR ON TWO COUNTS The *‘ cut‘‘ referred to is a small clipping apparently from K..K.

The Advance would certainly be surprised to know that there were 300 K. K. K. members in this town or camp or district. So far as known no organizer has attempted to inâ€" stitute a branch of thissociety here. A couple of years ago K. K.

Dynamite had been placed on top of the safe, then over that blankets and old clothes and on top of that a letterâ€" press, weighing around 200 lbs. The first attempt made a hole in the outer casing of the safe and bulged the door and it is evident that the wouldâ€" be safeâ€"blowers were frightened away hastily as they left some of their tools behind them, beside the uncompleted job. Howevere, quite a good deal of damage was done in the office, owing to the foree of the explosion. Even if the marauders had been successful in getting into the safe, all they would have found woulia have been cheques. Up to the time of writing no arrests have heen made.

LARGE NUMBER OF CASES AT FOUGE COURT TOâ€"DAY The three girls, Isabel Prouse, Bessie Carrol and Jeannette MceMinn, the latter formerly resident at Kapuskaâ€" sing, all before Chief Justice R. M. Meredith in connection with the death of Mrs. Margaret Mick,. matron at Toronto jail farm some months ago. were sentenced last week to five years each at Kingston penitentiary after they had pleaded guilty to manâ€" slaughter. Before sentence â€" was passed the girls sobbed as they sat in the dock, but they took the sentence without special further emotion. The three girls attacked the matron one evening beating and choking her, and eventually securing the keys and making their eseape. The matron died some three hours after. The girls were dlater reâ€"captured. and charged with murder. J. T. Mahon, for the defence, recalled that evidence at the inquest had shown that Mrs. Mick had not died for three hours after the attack by the girls in their plan to escape from the prison farm. This would preclude the theory that death had been caused by strangulaâ€" tion. â€"**The Crown must have been satisfied of that or the plea of manâ€" slaughter would not have been acceptâ€" ed,"‘ said the Judge. After Mr. Mahon had made a strong plea for leniency, the Judge imposed the five year term, closmg his remarks to the prisoners, with the words, ‘""I trust that at the end of your term you will; be old enough and sensible enough to try to lead moral, honest, industrious lives;s > But None of Them Were Very Imâ€" portant. Fifteen Wers Simple Prunk Charges. Police eourt toâ€"day hagd a large number of cases, but none of them were important. There were no less than fifteon drunk charges and one and all were fined $1‘0.00 and costs, each man payâ€" ing forthwith. â€"C. Kajander faced the more serious charge of having liquor in a public place and it cost him $50.00 and costs, or. nearly the price of five drunks. ‘ A local merchant had a charge against a Timmins woman allegmg the theft of, goods, the woman . in question, however, maintaining that she had bought the goods in quesâ€" tion on the instalment plan and had made partial payment. After the merchant had secured her arrest on the theft charge, doctors certified that ishd was seriously ill and she was at once transferred from the jail to be under medical care. The case toâ€"day was remanded for a week. HALLOWE‘EN PARTY TO BE AT ST. MATTHEW‘S SOCIAL CLUB.

The club is ‘open to all members of bt Matthew‘s congregation and was formed for the purpose of, bringing the young people (under 70) together in a social way. â€" Meetings are held the second and fourth Tuesday of every month. On Wednesday morning Mr. All Sheppard‘s auto skidded and turned completely over, pinning the three ocâ€" cupants beneath it, just near the old grave yard. â€" The car was rather badly smashed, but none of those in the car were injured. _ _ The wind was smashed, the axle and fenders were badly bent and the top broken off, so it seems almost miraculous that Nir. sheppard and Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Raynor, who were with him, escaped so luckily. They say if they had been driving fast they would have surely been killed as they landed about eight inches‘away from a telegraph pole. Mr. D. J. McRae,., an oldâ€"time resiâ€" inches‘away from a telegraph pole. Mr. D. J. McRae, an oldâ€"time resiâ€" dent of this part of the camp, is back to town again.

Dr¢, Sloan has found the showing o tlese placer claims to be very enâ€" couraging. _ ‘*‘They look good,""‘ he says. In his opinion it is a case of a dred@ng proposition on a large scale A large number of samples have been taken and showings or colour in each pan is the rule. In some places a depth of thirty feet has been reached, but in no case has bedrock been reached. Dr, Sloan points out that the best results may be éxpected at hedrock. _ Very rich stuff has been encountered at water level on the claims in different spots. _ **These claims look unusually good,""‘ says Dr. Sloan, * and if future work is as satisfactory as the showings so far a big placer propostition may be exâ€" peeted,"" Though the attendance was smaller than usual at the regular weekly dance of the A. 8. D. Club I.‘ t night, one of the bekt nights spert by the Cluhbat. the weekly dance was ‘enâ€" joyed by those attending. . mustic for the dancing was splendid and the répeated encores after each number testified to the appreciation felt by. the ‘dancers, Mr. J. K. Kenâ€" nedy acted as director for the Paul Jones and a‘so for a real oldâ€"fashionâ€" ed ~square dancee, which was one of the most enjoyable numbers. â€" The refreshments which were in charge of Mrs. N. J Leamen and Miss Bosâ€" sie Urquhbart, were of the usual hickh standard supplied‘ by the young lady members of the A. S. D. Club. In every way the dance lant night was one of the most enjoyable held for some : time. Dr, Sloan, a mining man with wide knowledge of placer mining, and who has been out on the Keefer Placer Syndicate claims in Keefer Township for some weeks past, was in townm this week. He brought out with him a number of pan samples showing colours in very promising way. Dr.. Sloan says that while it would be preâ€" mature to say anything definite at this: stage, the indicationsâ€" are very good so far as work has progressed. At present the chief effort is eentred on: completing . the/ assessment work.. Operations are handicapped by the lack of the best transportation faciliâ€" ties, the need for a good road being evident riglit alone. The meeting next Wednesday evenâ€" ing will be Ladies‘ Night and the ladies‘ are making the feature of the evening a (Gthost Masquerade. Every member of the club is requested to be in garbh popularly ceredited to the departed spirits, or that worn by the Ku Klux, Klan.
