He was well known in many parts of the North Land on account of his activâ€" ity in certain lines of community service. The despatches report him About coincident with reports from the municipal nomination meetâ€" ing of Bucke Township, where quesâ€" tions were asked as to why proceedâ€" ings had not been vigorusly earried on against H. Ellis Grodley, against whom there was a shortage charged in connection with his tenure of office as treasurer of the Township of Bucke, there was a despatch last week from Calgary, Alberta, saying that this same H. Ellis Gridley had been sentenced to six months‘ imâ€" prisonment for obtaining $180.00 by means of a worthless cheque. The Township of Bucke will have the saâ€" tisfaction now of knowing where to find Gridley if they feel they want him. The despatches from (Calgary have things muchly twisted saying that Gridtey was former treasurer of the Town of Haileybury and one time chief constable of the Township of FORMER NORTH LAND MAN ASKS SEVERE PENALTY _ Some days ago the Northern Canaâ€" a â€"Power Co. curlem, after filling themselves with ~electrical current that was expected to result in lightnâ€" ing shots on the ice, challenged the Fourth Avenue Club to a game of curling for fun, love, marbles, or a bag of flour for charity. The Fourth Avenue Club being ungable to take on the challenge for the moment, on acâ€" count of several being absent on holiâ€" day, the Lawyers took up the case without fee and asked for speedy judgment. Accordingly the arguâ€" ment took place on the ice on New Year‘s Day, the legal lights winning 10â€"5. Now, the Power lads have the bag of Hlour to déliver and are no. doubt awaiting directions from the Associated Charities or the Salvation Army, or both. i NORTHERN CANADA POWER | HAVE TO DELIVER THE FLOUR North Bay showed a nice spirit of sport all the way through in connecâ€" tion with the visit last week of the Timmins Hockey. team to the new city. Timmins appreciates the kindâ€" ness and good sportsmanship %eviâ€" denced at North Bay. The Hockey Club and Executive at the Bay were particularly kind and hetpful. This was specially shown by the attention given to the injured player Teevin. Teevin has his ankle gashed in pracâ€" tice before the match, and it was necessary to leave-him at North Bay while the rest of the team went on to Sudbury for the match there. North Bay looked after him, however, in right royal fashion, the Executive of the Hockey Club bemg especially kind. | NICE SPIRIT OF SPORT sSHOWN AT NORTH BAY Asked if he could give a single case of a man being attacked bv any of the four legged Wolves up in this country, Mr. Moore said he certainly could do so and referred to the case of his own son. The son was travelâ€" ling through the bush one time some years ago and wolves took up his trail. _ The wolves eventually came right up to him and attacked him. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, He says that the Indians fear the wolves, though they have no fear of the bear. An Indian will walk right up to a bear and tell him to get out of the way. When the Indian does this, the bear gets out of the way. Of course bears with cubs, are not careâ€" lessly approached this way, but the ordinary bear met in the woods at ordinary times is harmless and good humoured so far as people are conâ€" cerned. Not so the wolf. The wolf is a treachgrous animal, and one to be avoided. In the daytime, Mr. Moore says, the wolves will flee from men, and a man might actually walk through a pack of them without being harmed. At night, also, Mr. Moore thinks they would not attack any huâ€" man being. But just before dusk setâ€" tles down, and just before the dawn arrives are two periods when Mr. Moore believes the wolf to be dan-‘ gerous indeed and quite ready to atâ€" tack a man whether the man is armea or not. ~ Just when it seemed to be generally accepted that wolves were too cowardâ€" ly ever to deliberately attack man, Mr. Jos. Moore, an oldâ€"time trapper in this district, and one who has lived all his life in this North Land, comes forward to say that wolves will atâ€" tack human beings at certain times. Oldâ€"Time Trapper Refers to Stories About Wolves Atâ€" tacking Human Beings. Quotes His Own Son as Exâ€" ample. Believes Wolves Harmless to Man in Dayâ€"time and Through Most of the Night. Says Wolves Are Dangerous Just at Dusk and Before Da months is or is not a severe sentence in the case‘. The tastes of magisâ€" trates vary greatly in such matters. The magistrate at Oshawa was reâ€" cently upheld by the courts on appeal in a sentence of four years on a young man for forging a cheque for $4.50. At this rate of sentence (Gridley would have been given 160 years in jail, which would be quite a while to spend at the one place of abode. Of course, there might be time off for good behaviour. | in this country, all of whom seem to agree that the wolf is too cowardly to face a human being or to make an attack on a.man. No one, howevetr, who knows Mr. Moore will question his knowledge or his accuracy of obâ€" servation in a matter like this. If any man in this country is in a posiâ€" tion to speak with authorlty on the habits of animals or their attributes, Mr. Moore is certainly qualified by reason of his lifeâ€"long residence here and his wide and lonfr experience as a trapper. . The e\pldnatlon of the apparent discrepancy between Mr. Moore‘s view and that of many oldâ€" timers previously quoted may be that the other oldâ€"timers have never hapâ€" pened to encounter wolves at dusk or before dawn. At both these times the wolves wouid naturally be near their dens, and so likely to be more feroâ€" cious. There seems to be general agreement yet that in the daylight or at night the wolves do not attack huâ€" man hbeings. Hereafter. in all the wolf stories The Toronto Star should make a special point of having the thrilling incidents oceur just as ~dusk is falling or as dawn is lifting. Mr. Moore‘s ideas on the wolf quesâ€" tion are directly contrary to seores of nrospectors and other c?.u â€"timers up He had a small axe with him and this he used to the best of his ability. He was able to beat the wolves down for a time and while doing so he kept edgâ€" inz closer and closer to his home. At last he was able to reach the door of the â€"cabin and staggered in. The young man had his arm and shoulder badly torn by the wolves, and has the marks yet to show to prove the truth of his storyv. \ Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afterncon from 4.30 p.m. until 5.30 p.m, ADMISSION a _ s m o a 3C.

West Co., 80 George St., Toronto. While working on the new trunk road at Latchford, Louis Hill, a Finâ€" lander about 50 years old, used a stick to push some dynamite in a hole affer the charge had struck. In the exploston that followed, Hill had his right hand blown completely off, and his left hand was so terribly mangled that it also had to be amputated. He was taken to the Cobalt Mines Hospital and will recover from the acecident but loses both his hands through his thoughtless action in handling the powder. The more reâ€" spectful a man is in dealing with dynamite the better his chances for long life and avoidance of accidents. There were about one hundred guests present at the New Year‘s Eve Dinner Dance given by the Empire Hotel last Thursday evening. The manager, Mr. T. Sammon, proved an ideal host for the occasion, and all present were agreed that the evening was a delightful one. The menu for the evening was an attractive one, the service the very best, and the music for the danceing all that could be desired. The New Year was greetâ€" ed in pleasant way at the event.
