At the station, there was some compunction about placing two such nice young ladies in the calls, so communication was taken up by phone with some of the good citizens of the town. As a result of this the young ladies were taken in charge by the Hebrew Ladies Aid who entertained them very handsomeâ€" ly during their stay in town and who arranged for their return to New York by a more comfortable mode of travel than the hitchâ€"hike.

Have Been Three Weeks on the Way Greatly Interested in Timmins and the North On Sunday two young ladies reachâ€" ed Timmins on what is called a hitchâ€" hike from New York City. The idea of a hitchâ€"hike is that only highways and other roads may be used for traâ€" vel, and the journey has to be done chiefly on foot, though rides may he accepted in automobiles or other vehicles, but not in trains or trolleys, The young dadies, Miss Blanche Gerkoff, 22 years of age, and Miss Cecilia Silverstein, 20 years, left New York City about three weeks ago. They walked to Toronto, and there hearing about the great cty of Timâ€" mins, decided they would like to see this place, so on they started. They followed the road to North Bay and from there they went by the Ferguson highway to Porquis Junction.. From the Juncetion they got a ride in an auto most of ‘the way to Timmins. They said that when they left New York they had only about $35.00 beâ€" t ween them, so by the time they reachâ€" ed Timmins they were getting close to being broke. . Walking down street they met Officer MeCord,. ‘‘Are you an officer?‘‘ they asked. **‘Well, I‘m suppased to be,"‘‘ he answered. ‘‘Oh, REVIVAL OF INTEREST IN TENNIS IN DISTRICT Misses Gerkoff and Silverstein, who anpeared to be very intelligent young ladies, are understood to be members of the Art Students‘ League of New York City. _ That they were clever artists was proven by the effective WINNERS OF UNDERWOOD MEDALS AT TECH.

He said that he had visited a woman who accepted money from him. He lhad foolishly displayâ€" ed a roll of some $325.00 which he was carrying.

Eventually, however, the Timmins and Sehumacher police working together were able to locate the house and Kazaruik was able quite positively to identity the house and its furniture, In one bedroom of this house two men and two women were found, and Kazaruik was able to identify some of these as occupants of the ear where the holdâ€"up occurred. When the case came to court this week Kazaruik‘s evidence was rather confused. _ He admitted having been under the inâ€" fluence of liquor at the time he lost his money and not having very clear idea of what had happened or where he was. The aceused on the other hand denied having stolen the money. They said that Kazaruik thad been driven to Connaught and not to South Poreupine. _ At Connaught he had first given the money to a clergyman there for safeâ€"keeping, later taking the money back again. None of the money was found on any of the aeâ€" cused, and the charges could not be sustained.

(On Sunday morning, apparently about three o‘clock, Horwitz‘s Jewelâ€" ry store at the corner of Maple street and Third avenue was broken into and goods to the value of about $100, were stolen. The chief loss was in fountain pens and peneils, a number of these being taken. Some Ingerâ€" soll watches were also stolen. Entry was made by smashing the plate glass in the door, likely with a steel ‘bar, as no stone or other similar weapon was found, but there were marks around the door to show where a bar had been used to break off the locks. The locks had proved very stubborn, however, and so entry was made by smashng the window. The glass was fully half an inch thick and the smashing of it must have created *considerable noise, pieces of glass being knocked in all directions and most of the pieces being small. About three Mr. 8. T. Walker heard the smashng of glass and lookâ€" ed from the window of his apartâ€" ments, but noticing nothing unusual anyway took it for granted that noâ€" thing untoward had happened. _ At 3.40 a.m. Mr. Alex Patent of 10 Wilâ€" son avenue noticed in passing the place that the wndow had been broâ€" ken and notified the police.
