QOutside newspapers last week carâ€" ried detailed accounts of the supposed death of Jack Munroe, noted North Land pioneer. The death was supâ€" posed to have taken place at Rouyn, but it was contradicted as soon as it was publishel, it being known that Jack Munroe, formerly mayor of Elk Lake and one of the original Princess Pats, is now in the Red Lake area. Evidently the report of the "‘Jack Munroe‘‘ of North Land fame, arose from the death of arother Jack Munâ€" roe, usually known as ‘‘Little Jack Munroe,"‘ in his cabin at Cheminis, between Kirkland Lake and Rouyn. This Jack Munroe was a man of about 60 yvears of age and was well known in the Larder Lake and Kirkland Lake sections. He also was a war veteran and it is understood that his death resulted from â€" hemorrhages caused by the afterâ€"effects of gas poisoning in the war. This Jack Munâ€" roe had many friends who mourn his death. The funeral was held at Kirkâ€" land Lake last week and was largely attended.= An inquest was held at Rouyn and a verdict of death from natural causes returned by the jury. cess Pats.‘‘ During his ceareer as a figchter, Munroe met Jim Jeffries, at the time heavyweight champion of the world, and Tom Sharkey. _ In his meeting with Jeffries the latter was touring the country at the time and chalienged any one to stay four rounds. At another time he was ereâ€" dited with a newspaper decision over Tom Sharkey in Philadelphia. Jack Munroe will also be remembered as the owner of ‘*Bobbie Burns, the colâ€" lie hero of the trenches.‘‘ Munroe took the dog with him to England and then to France and it was wounded in Belgium. The dog was the pet of the battalion and on its return to Canada it was lavished with attention. On January 26, 1917 at a meeting of the Toronto â€" Humane Society, Bobbie Burns was presented with a special medal. This Jack Munroe was also eredited by the newspapers with beâ€" ing the first Canadian soldier to land in France during the war, the yarn being to the effect that he and his dog dropped from the ship as it was getting ready to dock, so as to have the honour of being the first to touch French soil. Hosts of friends of this Jack Munroe will be pleased to know that he is still very much alive, while those who know the other ‘*Jack Munâ€" roe,"‘ who passed away at Cheminis, will sincerely regret his death. Man Dead at Rouyn Another Jack Munroe. Oldâ€"timer Af Blk Lake and Porcuping Now at Red Lake. The more famous Jack Munroe of the North Land is now at Red Lake. He has had a spectacular career and this is the second time within a conâ€" ple of years that reports of his death have been circulated.

He was born at Bouâ€" lardic Head, 18 miles from North Sidney, New Brunswick, the son of Sceottish parents, Alexander Munroe and wife, Anabella Kerr.

Davidson, of Schumacher, a young man of nineteen years, met death at the MceIntyre Mine, where he was emâ€" ployed underground. He was missed from his work and search being made for him it was found that there was no place else to look for him except in one of the ‘ore chutes. The rock was cleaned out of the chute and the young man was found dead beneath some tons of rock. The inquest into the death resulted in a verdict of acâ€" cidental death, with the cause of the accident unknown. No one saw the accident, and the young man‘s work did not take him around theâ€"chute~â€"He had only worked a shift and a half underground when the tragedy ocâ€" curred. The late Robt. Pavidson reâ€" sided with his mother at 66 Second avenue, Schumacher. The family forâ€" merly lived in Timmins, and here, as in Schumacher, the syinpathy of all will go out to them in the sad death. The funeral took place last week to Timmins «cemetery, and was largely attended. The funeral services were conducted by Ensign Bond of the Timâ€" mins Salvation Army. PCLICE SEARCHING FPOR MAN NAMED HAANPAA Former Timmins Young Man Meets Death at McIntyre Mine Last Wednesday.

The Montreal river runs elose to the rails at this point and the main road is a short distance on the other side of the tracks. It is thought posâ€" sible that Haanpaa simply took ocâ€" casiton to separate himself from his companions on his release from jail, but the police are taking no chances on the alternative that something may have happened to him either by his act or misfortune or through the act of others, BRUCE MURRAY Of the Canadian Wheat Pool headâ€" quarters at Winnipeg, who will coxâ€" swain the Winnipeg crew which will take part in the Olympic rowing trials at St. Catharines, Ontario, this week.

There was a good crowd and an interesting game, with lots of sport and fun in the proceedings. The Timâ€" mins team though still needing pracâ€" tice and coaching is playing ball and promises still better things before the season is over. There was some dissatisfaction with the umpire. it being felt that the South Poreupime team got all the breaks, instead of the weaker team, but as the visitors are always supposed to get the benefit of the doubt the umpire may not have been far out after all. _ Timmins showed up better than in any previous game which is encouraging to all. The outstanding players for Timmins were Derdon, Murphy and Sloan. Derâ€" don and Murphy each made home runs. The lineâ€"up for Timmins was:â€" Murphy, s.s.; Prentice, 2b.; Derdon, I b.; Sloan, 3b.; Thomas, lf.; Towers, p.; Lauzon, c.; Whitney, ef.; Pierce.

The play was very fast, and an incident happenâ€" ed, which while very funny to those close by, nearly ended in a freeâ€"for all. The incident referred to started when Southcott and MeCorry _ were on the leather, and Southcott slipped in the mud; MeCarry caught hold of him to break his fall, and he slipped himself in doing so;, then Southeott thought he was being unfairly tackled and he slapped MeCorry in the face; MeCorry resented this and went after Southcott. Instead of the other players stopping the mixâ€"up, it looked for a second or two as if all of them would get into it. However, no damage was done, and the match went on in friendlyv way. The Rees. pressed again to get the lead _ and dmmg a bard fime in front of the Cornish net the ball was fouled in the penalty area and Rowe saved the penalty kick by fisting it over. At the other end the Cornish gave Ewart and Johnston a ‘trying time to keep them out. The Rees. got away again and Landers and Mcâ€" Corrvy_ came down.

Ribout, formerly of Timâ€" mins, but now with the Lake Shore Mine at Kirkland Lake, was in town this week arranging for a visit here of the Buffalo Gaiety Orchestra, a noted concert and jazz orchestra reâ€" cently brought to the North and at present in Kirkland Lake. This orâ€" chestra will be at the Melntyre hall for the dance on Friday night, and they have also a special engagement for the Goldfields theatre on Friday and Saturday night, and Saturday matinee July 13th and 14th. The visit of the Buffalo Gaiety Orchestra will generally be considerâ€" ed as a musical treat. While the orâ€" eclhestra presents the latest popular music, including jazz, their speciality is concert music, and they are all muâ€" sicians of high class. The orchestra is under the leadership of Ray Caldâ€" well, of the Gaiety Theatre, Buffalo ; with Louis Quitt, trumpet, recently with Vincent Lopez‘s Statler Hotel orchestra; John Elliott, drums; Maurâ€" ice Lutwack, clarinet and saxaphone; and Norman Tepaz, at the piano. has not ‘been found, although large groups of men have been searching for him for days. . The Advance corresâ€" pondent at Schumacher elsewhere in this issue gives the authentic story of how he came to be missing. Mr. Taylor was for several years proprieâ€" tor of a hotel in Schumacher, later being one of the principals in the esâ€" tablishment of the Killingsâ€"Taylor bus service between Timmins and south Porcupine. He bought the house formerly owned by Mr. L. S. Newton, just below the Queen‘s hotel, Third avenue, and lived in Timmins for some years. He conducted a taxi business here for some time. Later he moved to South Poreupine, and some weeks ago went West to work. He is very popular and highly reâ€" garded all through this district, and all will wish that he will turn up oll right.
