H. Wilson, died at Guelph on May 12th, 1819. For a year or two previously he had been in poor health and from January of that year he had been unâ€" dergoing treatment at Guelph. At the time of death Mr. Wilson was 45 years of age. He was one of the pioneers of Porcupine coming here in 1910 and beâ€" ing closely identified with the business and municipal life of the district. In the early days he conducted a hardâ€" ware store in Golden City and later moved the building and business to Timmins where he had the town‘s first hardware business. He was the first mayor of Timmins and for five succesâ€" sive years was reâ€"elected by acclamaâ€" tion to this honoured position. . For some years previous to his death he had conducted a teaming contracting business, doing practically all of this class of work for the Hollinger Mine. The late Mr. Wilson was widely known and highly regarded in the Porâ€" cupine and his death came as a decidâ€" ed shock to large circles of friends. ‘ The funeral took place at Kingston, Ontario, on May 14th, 1929. The many floral tokens evidenced the esteem in which Mr. Wilson was held by all who knew him, the floral offerings includâ€" ing wreaths, sprays and designs from the Town of Timmins, Golden Beaver WR Es PR C A. F. A. M., and large numbers of friends and associates. In addition to the bereaved widow one daughter, Olis, and four sons survived. There was a large attendance ten years ago at a meeting of the Timmins Ratepayers‘ Association, when there was a very extended discussion on the could not move their families here beâ€" cause of the lack of high school faciliâ€" ties and that they could not afford the imposition of the assessor‘s wrongful interpretation of the law. ‘There were some stormy passages but the assessor held to his reading of the law and the council supported him. This plan was carried on for years, but it is interestâ€" ing to note that for some years past it PPR 9 m EP TT T has been admitted by all concerned that the plan was not according to law. The present assessor is quite confident that the law gives the same exception to the "heads of families" (wherever the famiilies may reside) that it gives to property owners whose property must be within the municipality. To show how little things have $1335 THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO (5â€"12)â€"140 changed in some matters in ten years reference may be made to an article on the front page of The Advance of May 14th, 1929. It was headed, "See That: Your Name Appears on the Voters‘ List," and some parts of the article are very timely right now. For instance, take the following sentences:â€""Last year there was much complaint and dissatisfaction regarding the fact that a number of names that should appear on the voters‘ list failed to do so, and the parties concerned feel that they have been cheated out of a vote. The fault can be traced to the indifference or carelessness of the ratepapers themâ€" selves. There is time and opportunity given to every voter to see that it is there, and he should take the time and trouble to give the matter the necesâ€" sary attention, or hold his peace about it. The story of a pool game between two stars, Messrs McCann and R. Cole for a prize of $200.00 was told in The Advance ten years ago. McCann won the $200.00. He gave Cole a lead of a Advance ten years ago. McCann won the $200.00. He gave Cole a lead of a 100 in a 500â€"shot game. The contest created much interest and drew big crowds to the New Empire poolrooms. Announcement was made in The Adâ€" vance ten years ago that the assessor‘s office would be open three nights a week for the accommodation of the public so that all who wished to conâ€" sult the assessor‘s roll or secure any information might have better opporâ€" tunity to do so at their leisure. SA rug. ‘Though taken by surprise Mr. Mulheron made appropriate reply. A very pleasant evening was then enjoyed by the thirty or more present, old times in the camp being talked over and the early days reviewed. Refreshâ€" ments were served and smokes enjoyed and general happy evening passed. Mr. Mulheron is one of the pioneers of the Porcupine and has seen Timmins grow from a spot in the bush to the best town in the North Land, always anxious to do his part to help this proâ€" gress along. He recently resigned as manager of the Hotel Goldfields and expects to leave this week for Gravenâ€" hurst, where he and Mrs. Mulheron will take up residence." Friends in the camp of C. McDowell, of South Porcupine, a wellâ€"known prosâ€" pector, whose body was recovered from the Montreal River, were anxious ten years ago that an inquest and investiâ€" gation be held in regard to his death as they were not satisfied that he did not meet with foul play. His friends Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, at the time Mi#:ter of Lands, Forests and Mines, spent a few hours in Timmins ten years ago. He discussed road proâ€" blems in the district and promised considerable improvement. The new trunk read between Timmins and Iroquois Falls was then expected to be under construction in a few days. The first N.OH.A. football match in Timmins in the 1919 season was beâ€" twezn Timminas and Porcupineâ€"Dome. It was a very lively game and ended in a draw, 1 to 1. J. White was referee. The teams were:â€"Timmins, C. Trimâ€" ble, J. Staples, G. Sheridan, Hoole, HKodge, Mullen, Collins, Stevens, A. Roâ€" berts, W. Twaddle and Geroux; Porâ€" believed that he had over a hundred and fifty dollars with him shortly beâ€" fore his death, while only a little silver was found in his pockets after the body was recovered. There was a bad cut across his face and a wound at the back of his head, both these inâ€" juries apparently being inflicted before he struck the water, while the absence of water from the lungs was also emâ€" phasized by friends as being unlikely in a case of death from drowning. The Advance gave all the facts of the case and the various thsories advanced and urged a full investigation not only to clear up the anxiety of friends but also to stop any false stories in case there was no foundation for the suspicions advanced. President Geo. A. Smith, of the Timâ€" mins G.W.V.A., was in Matheson ten vears ago in connection with the orâ€" ganization of a branch of the Great War Veterans for Matheson. The new branch was duly instituted with a large and enthusiastic membership. cupineâ€"Domeâ€"Spitz, J. Seiger, Ewart, Totten, Harrower, Kincaid, Spencely, W. H. Wilson, J. Nicolson, R. Seiger and Bill Black. Timmins Lodge O.YT.B. was duly inâ€" stituted on May 9th, 1919, with Perry Craig as the first Master. Twentyâ€" nine candidates were initiated. There were a number of prominent officials from outside points present for the event here. The Advance ten years ago noted two weddings at St. Anthony‘s church, with Rev. Fr. Leduc. Roselda, eldest daughâ€" ter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur L‘Heureux, of Scuth Porcupine, was united in marâ€" riage to Donas Tremblay, of Conâ€" naught, Miss May Beck, of Pembroke, and H. E. Burtwell, of South Porcupine, were the other couple wedded, the groom in the latter case being more generally known as "Bert Dewar." Ten iears ago The Advance noted that someone had stolen the rope from the town flagpole. Among the local and personal notes in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"‘"Through E. H. Bridger‘s sporting gods department the Fireâ€" men this week have ordered a complete outfit of baseball suits for their team." "Among the latest to join the ranks of | the motorists is Dr. Brown who this week may be seen out in his handsome Mcâ€" Laughlin Six." "The Advance learns on very good authority that the Ankerâ€" ite Mine will resume operations about June ist." "The Haileyburian says that every time the boys of the House of Commons hear a good joke they whirl right in and make a law out of it." "Bornâ€"In Timmins, on Saturâ€" day, May 10th, 1919, to Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Blackman,â€"a son." "Mr. W. B. Kinderline, general manager of the Hamilton B. Wills offices, was a visitor to the camp this week." "Mr. J. E. Salmon returned last week from Toâ€" ronto, accompanied by Mrs. Coffey, who will spend some time here for the ibenefit of her health. Mrs. Coffey reâ€" cently underwent an operation in Toâ€" ronto, and it is hoped that the fine Nerth Land air will hasten her comâ€" plete recovery." _ "Complaint is made regarding an epidemic of petty thievâ€" ing along the River Road and the Matâ€" tagami River area. Some folks affectâ€" ed appear to think that the local newsâ€". paper should be able and ready to catch the thieves, convict and punish them, and have the goods returned, or else advertising does not pay. The Adâ€" vance, however, simply calls attention to the complaints and passes the rest of the burden on to the provincial police." "Mrs. Madden, of Calgary, is spending a few weeks the guest of her daughters, Mrs. R. Allen and Mrs. J. Sullivan." "Mr. Leo Mascioli received word this week from Corp. Pete Barâ€" dessono that the latter expected to leave England for home again about June ist." "Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Spelâ€" lar are moving this week to Kirkland Lake to take up residence in that new camp." "Mr. Claude Morrison, who has just returned to Cobalt from miliâ€" 1010000000000 0_ _ _ OO c tary service in Russia with the Canaâ€" dian forces there, says that among the Canadians still in Siberia when he left was "But" Woodward, formerly of Timmins.‘" "Mr. Paddy Gallagher, one of the Porcupine‘s oldâ€"timers, and who for the past few years has beenâ€" conâ€" nected with military service, recently being in charge of one of the departâ€" ments at Kapuskasing, renewed acâ€" quaintances in Timmins last week." TORTUKRED BY HANDCUFF OLD MAN GAVE HIMSELF UP Louis Dauphine, of Oba, near Sudâ€" bury, gave himself up to the police at Hornepayne last week after escaping from custody for a week. He had been | handcuffed to a piece of furniture in his house while a police officer who hnad arrested him for breach of the Liquor Act was busy at some other duties. Dauphine, who is a man eighty years of age, managed to file through the chain attached to the handcuff and so got free and escaped to the bush beâ€" fore the return of the officer. ‘The handcuff remained on one wrist, howâ€" ever, and being of the snap variety which slides through a notched groove, every movement of the hand would keep tightening the handcuff until it was cutting through the flesh While attempting to sleep the old man would hit the arm against something or other and drive the handcuff tighter. ‘The file would make no impression on the handicuff steel and every effort to escape the cuff seemed to only drive it tighter around the wrist. After some days of torture during which the old man suffered until he could stand Nt oE NeR en ut it no longer, Dauphine hunted up ‘the police and surrendered so that he could have the handcuff unlocked and taken off to ease the pain he was suffering. The cuff had tightened until it nad cut thrcugh to the bone. The old man has a very sore arm. There will naturally be question as to why this old man was left alone after this type of handcuff had been put on him. If any serious injury to the old man follews his painâ€" fuil experience the police officer reâ€" sponsible will have a lot of tall explainâ€" ing to do.

Presentation to L Ennis Before Going to Sudbury A very pleasing presentation was made to Mr. Len Ennis, shift boss at the McIntyre Mines, on Saturday afterâ€" noon, the event of his departure for Sudbury where he will engage in simiâ€" lar work to that which he has just vaâ€" cated here. That he was held in high esteem was evidenced by the fact that senior officials of the mine, and the men who worked under the supervision of Mr. Ennis, mingled en masse to witness the presentation of a beaut‘fully engraved gold watch subscribed by his men. Mr. P. Cooper, a captain of the mine, in presenting the gift to Mr. Len Enâ€" nis, made an eloquent address, touchâ€" ing on the fine record of Mr. Len Enâ€" nis, and the useful service that he had given to the mine, and regretting very deeply the severing of his connections with the mine. After the presentation, Mr. Ennis thanked all those assembled for the tribute they had given him, and, while regretting that he had, through his deâ€" parture, to sever acquaintances very dear to him, he was recompensed by the knowledge that there were memâ€" ories he was taking with him which were indelible.
