SIX MONTHS AND FINE OF $1000 FOR HAVING OPIUM Men Charged with Arson Acquitted. Heavy Fine on Young Fellow for Assault on Chinaman This Week. At police court this week Wen Lei alias Wun Lung was â€" sentenced to a term of six months and a fine of $1000 for illegally having opium in his possession. In case the fine is not paid Wen Lei will be required to serve an additional year. He may also be deâ€" ported after his term expires. The charge was laid by Raymond Nelson, one of the Dominion police, who came here recently on a search for opium beâ€" lieved to be smuggled into town. The officer followed the shipment and checked up on those believed to be imâ€" plicated. Search of the premises where Wen Lei lived resulted in some opium being found hidden away. . Another Chinaman believed to be concerned in the case can not be found at the preâ€" sent moment. At the same court Louic Zanchi and Attilio Giovanelli, charged with arson, were acquitted. The charge arose from a fire in the store conducted by the two accused men in Moneta. The fire ocâ€" curred in the early morning hours of March 8th, The fire brigade put out the fire and then the chief found some coal oil in a pail and other evidence Just Arrived a Carload of Thin Skinned Juicy Californian Oranges We bought a large quantity to get the price and we are passing the benefit of this purchase on to our customers.

The Coniaurum Mines Ltd., one of our promising prospects, has encountâ€" ered temporary difficulties and passed into the hands of a receiver on 15th inst. Extensive development work was carried on for several years, and in 1928 a modern 500â€"ton mill was erected. About one hundred men were employâ€" ed. An official statement on the situaâ€" tion will probably be issued by the diâ€" rectors in a few days. The receiverâ€" ship may not result in the closing of mill. Conisurum is considered a good property, and many are optimistic about the future success of the mine. The death occurred rather suddenly on Wednesday morning of this week about five o‘clock of Mr. J. B. McArâ€" thur, a wellâ€"known and wellâ€"liked reâ€" sident here for many years. He came to Timmins about the time the railroad reached here and has been a respected and popular resident since then. The late Mr. McArthur, who was 64 yerrs of age at the time of death, was born in Princeville, Ont., and the remains were taken this morning to the old home town for burial.
