Mr. T. MeCann, returned to Timâ€" mins this week for the Christmas holiday. Mr. MceCann has been atâ€" tending scholl in Toronto for the past year, taking up pharmacy, having been a popular member of the staff of F. M. Burke, Limited for some years past. Apart from the dogs, the doggone 00. T. A. had a front seat in the cases. There were seven cases of the common garden variety of drunkenness. Each case carried with it as a sort of bonus, the usual $10.00 and costs. B. Giavanni and Anthony Mareus were each charged with the same ofâ€" fence against the O. T. A.,â€"having liquor in a public place. They each paid the same size of fine, $50.00, and costs. This made the sum total of the cases for Wednesday‘s court. It was cold weather yesterday, but still dog days at the Timmins police court. Mr. John Kilgour charged A. Carpentier with the theft of a dog. The case was dismissed. Donat Charette had a similar charge against Alfred Jolicoeur, and it cost the latter $12.25 to settle the affair. The dogâ€" gone logic of these dog cases seems to be that in case a dog is found or a dog is lost the best way is to notify the police station and also advertise the losing or finding so that there need be no dispute in the matter. D. Murchuk, on the charge of brewâ€" ing beer without the formality of apâ€" plying for the necessary permit, was assessed $50.00 and costs.

The motor truck, it may be noted worked like a charm and there was no difficulty in its easy running. This year to date there have been 104 fires calls. The truck has been of great service in the responses. There recent chimney fires are as follows :â€" Dec. 3rd, 9 p.m., at 56 Mountjoy strect.
