Of course, this is not so. _ The Timâ€" mins Juniors have four fine wins to their credit this season. Three times they have been victors over the South Poreupine Juniors and they also won from the noted Temagam Indian team ‘here. Better still every game the local homeâ€"brews have played evidenced the best of sportsmanship and they have in each case given their very best.

Despite the fact that there were a number of entries that could not be accepted on account of the large number wishing to take part in the bonspiel, a place was made for Timmins, and the rink from here intends to go down and secure the honours if at all possible.

The total loss to the railway through the thetts would likely exceed $1,000. About the same time as the robbery of the railroad cars there was also a burglary at one of the slaughter houses near town. The odd feature of the latter was the fact that the meat was cut away from the carcases, leaving the bare bones of the slaughâ€" tered animals hanging like skeletons.

It should be a specially good game. The Timmins homeâ€"brews have been playing fine hockey all season, not a bit discouraged by the steady run of defeats.

Mr. Preston in a note to The Advance this week says:â€"‘‘Jack Miner says that either the deer or the wolves must go. He says the bounty on wolves should be raised. Quite right! But don‘t blame the wolves for all the destruction of deer. Get after a lot of those twoâ€"legged wolves who hunt for a living. What about the deer and moose killed to feed dogs during winter? Also, what about the carâ€" casses that have poison injected into them for the purpose of poisoning wolves? Yes, and those poisoned aniâ€" mals left in the woods are the cause of many a song bird being poisoned by eating the flesh. That is also one thing that has helped to make partâ€" ridge so scearce. If you don‘t believe it, just poison a dog this spring with strychnine, and put him out in a field where there are lots of crows and other birds, and see how soon the ground will be strewn with dead crows and other birds killed by the poison."‘ KEEN GONTESTS IN THE LOGAL GURLING BONSPIE Winners of the Various Features of Events Here During the Past Week. skip The consolation event follows :â€" Towers, Amm, Kehoe, A inte test The regular quarterly meeting of thi Lancashire Social Club will be held on Saturday next, February 4th, in the Hollinger Recreation hall, at 8 p.m. The meeting will open sharp at 8, and members are specially asked to be on time, so that the social part of the evening may commence as usual at 8.30. â€"It was decided at the executive meeting to postpone Married Men‘s Night from Saturday, as arranged, to the following Saturday, Feb. 11th.

He claimed that not only were the horses in poor eondition, but that the common practice was to use on them a whip made of strands of wire. He produced such a whip to the police, saying that he had brought it from the camp as evidence. Furâ€" ther, the man stated that several of the horses were badly cut about the shoulders as a result of the constant use of this style of whip. The snow in the bush where the lumbering operâ€" ations in question were being carried on was too deep for the horses to work properly, but by the use of the brutal whip, he claimed, the poor aniâ€" mals were being driven along to do more than should be expected from them. As the office of the firm for whom the operations were being carâ€" ried on is not near Timmins, the inâ€" vestigation of the matter was turned over to the Provincial police and the Humane Society and no doubt these authorities will make full investigaâ€" tion and see that justice is done in the case.
