Incidents that suggest not only the hopeful spirit of the North, but also the energy and initiative of the people of this land are given as an aftermath of the fire at the Hunter block in Cobalt.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The new hotel company at Haileyâ€" bury is suing two citizens of the county town for unpaid stock subâ€" seription and interest on same. One man bought $1000.00 in stock and paid $100.00, and he is being sued for the balance, which with interest is $941.00. The other bought $600.00 worth of stock, and paid nothing, beâ€" ing sued for $627.00. The party on the twelfth is to honâ€" our our old friend, St. Valentine, and his pal, Dan Cupid. Sounds like a dangerous session for the bachelors of the community ; however they seem willing to take the chance of being sniped by that most presistéent of snipers who, to date, has never missed a heart with his trusty bow. The boys are kicking through with much enthusiasm and certainly are making an effort, of no mean proporâ€" tions, to inject much pep and all that stuff into the evening‘s enterâ€" tainment which will be bristling with novelties, all of which will assure the natives that the ‘*Third Sleepless Night of the Bachelor‘s Insommia Club‘‘ will be a ‘‘wow‘‘ and make the excitement of the Florida boom look as solemn as the death of Little Eva, or as dead as the crossâ€"word puzzle craze. The Bachelor‘s Insomnia Club of South Poreupine have another of their ‘*Sleepless Nights‘‘ scheduled for February twelfth, in the high school at South End. It would appear from the reports and comments on the preâ€" vious dances that they are thoroughly enjoyed and they are something to look forward to with pleasure. It is said that Redman was found bending over the careass of a deer which he had just shot, and which he was in the act of cutting up, when he received the charged. MAN MISTAKEN FOR DEER SHOT IN KNEE, AND DIED Last week Albert Redman, a farmâ€" er of Phelps Township, near North Bay. Coroners Dr. A. MeMurchie Sr., expedition with some friends. An inquest was held, after investigation by Provincial Officer Elliott, of North Bay. Corners Dr. A. MeMurchie Sr., and Dr. James Fallon, of North Bay, hrought in a verdiect of accidental death, exonerating Nelles Timothy who it was that accidentally â€" fired the fatal shot. Acting Crown Atâ€" torney H. Renyolds appeared in the interests of the Crown, due to the absence of Crown Attorney T. E. Mcâ€" Kee. From the evidence it was found that the incident oceurred when it was just turning dusk, and, mistakâ€" ing his comrade for a deer, Timothy fired, the shot entering Redman‘s left leg above the knee, cutting the ‘‘femâ€" oral"‘‘ artery, so that he soon bled to death, despite the efforts of his two fellowâ€"hunters, Nelles Timothy and Alfred Yeabeslev. It is alleged that Redman was left behind \xhlle the other two proâ€" ceeded together on a little sortie to scare up some deer. They were just returning, ‘‘There‘s a deer,‘‘ and unâ€" suapectmvly Timothy raised his rifle, which caused his friend‘s death. Then, to spoil the whole story, the Haileybury curlers a few days afterâ€" wards go up to Englehart and win the cup again, bringing it back to Haileyâ€" bury with them. ‘‘Experts of the local eurling club got a surprise on Thursday last, when two rinks from the Englehart club came to town to play for the Engleâ€" hart Cup. «After succeessfully defendâ€" ing the trophy against the best that North Bay and New Liskeard could send during the last few weeks, the Haileybury weilders of the broom and stones thought they had a life lease on it, but, greatly to their surprise, the comparatively new curlers of the railway town proved too fast for the locals and carried ,off the trophy in triumph the following morning.‘ ‘‘SLEEPLESS NIGHTS AS IS8S" AT SOUTH END TOMOCORROW There is always much interest in this North Land in regard to the comâ€" petitions for the Englehart Cup. Thirs trophy has been held so long by Haileybury that it looked as if it might become a fixture at the County Town. But some days ago Englehart went and won the cup. (Speaking of the matter, The Haileyburian sayvs:â€" ENGLEHART CURLERS WIN THE ENGLEHART CUP No other cigar in Canada makes the same universal appeal to every class of smoker.

To quote the eard sent out with the invitations :â€"‘‘From all accounts this party is going to be a ‘‘wow,‘‘ "‘the cat‘s whiskers,‘‘ ‘"‘the tiger‘s front teeth,"‘"‘ and "‘the Berries‘‘ combined. As the Club was organized for the purpose of giving good dances, and as there are quits a few Dome boys on the executive, it is up to the Dome dancers to show that they appreciate the work done by the committees and to turn out in full foree, as on the support given by the Dome dancers depends the enthusiasm of the Bacheâ€" lors to still further extend themselves to maintain their reputations as good dance purveyors. In a letter received from Mr. W. Parnell, hestates that the climate down where he is, i. e., California, averages around 60 degrees; just dandy, he says.
