Rey. Fr. O‘Gorman was born at Renâ€" frew, Ont., in 1881, being a son of the late J. K. O‘Gorman and of Mrs. O‘Gorman, who now resides at Cobalt. Rev. F. O‘Gorman graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Otâ€" tawa University, later receiving the deâ€" gree of Doctor of Canon Laws at Romic. On December 17th, 1904, he was orâ€" dained to the priesthood at the Grand Seminary, Montreal, sayving his first mass at St. Francis Xavier church, Renfrew, on Dec. 18th, 1904. He served first as a curate wilh Mgr. F. French at Brudenell, and Iuter was selected by the late Bishop Lorrain, of Pembroke, to accompany Rev. Fr. Latulippe on a mission to the northern part of the diocess. This northern section was later formed into a separate diocese with Haileybury as the diocesan seat. Rev. Fr. O‘Gorman has been rector of the cathedral at Haileybury; founded the St. Patrick‘s parish at Cobalt, where he was parish priest for many years; and came to Timmins as the first parish priest of the Church of the Nativity. Rev. Fr. O‘Gorman has been in the North Land for over twenty years and is one of the most cutstandâ€" ing clergymen in this district. He enâ€" joys the regards not only to those of h‘s own church but of all others, who adâ€" mire him for his zeal and his high standards of good citizenship. Rev. Fr. O‘Gorman served for some years overâ€" seas during the war, being chaplain of AGQUITTED ON GHARG ROBBERY WITH VIBATNGE Four Men Couple of Weeks Ago on Charge of Robbing Chinaâ€" man Here Freed of Charge at Cochrane Court. The four men, Joseph Dupres, John Mignault, Joe Cloutier and Leo Joanisâ€" se, of Cochrane, charged with robbery with violence in connection with the assault and robbery of W. Jim, manâ€" ager of the Go‘dale Cafe, Timmins, on Sepnt. 27th, were tried before Judge Caron at Cochran: on Tuesday, and were all acquitted of the chargses against them. After closing up the cafe for the night and carrying homs with him the receipts of the day, about $125.00, W. Jim, manager of the Gold2il> was set upon by two men and robbed in a lane across the road from the Goldale. The manager of the lives in a shack at the rear of Spruce street and was on his way there when assaulted and robbed. On account of the darkness he could not see his asâ€" sailants and about all he could tell abcut them was that they were two in number. Jim was choked and beaten and rendered unconscious, his mon>»y being taken from him. As som as he recovered, he notified the polics, but as there were apparontly no clues the police had a difficult task. However, the following up carefully o° some inâ€" formation received led to> the arrest of the four men, one of them being the taxi driver who drove them down from Oochrane. Some of the men made adiâ€" missions to the police, accordinz to the provincial officers, but the statements secured by the polisce were not accepied by the court as evidence. A woman, who accompanied the men on Their visit to Timmins, was held as a materiâ€" al witness in the case, but her eviâ€" dences was no very valuablse in the court at Cochrane from the standpoint of the crown. After hearing the case, Judge Caron acquitted the four accusâ€" e« from the charge against them. Dean Kester was counsel for the deâ€" fence while S. A.

Fr. O‘Gorman on the occasion of his silver jubilee in the priesthood. At this gathering repreâ€" sentatives were present from the Cobalt K. of C., those from the Silver town including, Henry O‘Grady and Rev. Fr. McMahon. Rev. Fr. O‘Gorman‘s braâ€" thers, Mr. Dan O‘Gorman, of Toronto, and Rev. Michael J. O‘Gorman, of Edâ€" monto, Alberta, were also guests for the evening. The Timmins Council of the K. of C. extended the courtesy of precedence to the Cobalt K. of C. and Rev. Fr. O‘Gorman was presented with an lluminated address and a beautiful silver smoking set from Cobalt, as a memento of the esteem and affection in which he is held there. Then, on beâ€" half of the Timmins K. of C., A. T. H. Taylor, First District Deputy, who had the seventh Hanadian Railway troops Mr. "Lap." LaPrairie is forward this, week with the suggestion that a rink be made on the river near the bridge for the use of the youngsters of that section of the town. He points out that there are a large number of youngsters who would benefit by such a rink and it would not be a costly affair to establish or maintain. Mr. LaPrairie intends to take up the matâ€" ter with the Kiwanis Club who have done so much for summer playgrounds, for the ycoungsters in town. While there are a number of rinks maintained in town during the winter, there is not one of any size for the river section of the town. A lot of boys and girls go to the river for skating and Mr. Laâ€" Prarie thinks a rink could be made for them on the river without much trouâ€" ble or expense. There is also a place to slide now at the river and there is opâ€" portunity for skiâ€"ing so a rink would just round up the accommodation. Arâ€" rangements could be made to kesp the space cleared off for skating and should soft weather come along the use of the ice could soon be stopped by the application of ashes, so that no danger would be possible. Proposes Rink at the River for Youngsters C. G.

There was no special speaker for the day the meeting being taken up largely with the discussion of plans for the work of the club for the coming year. It is the intention of the Kiwanis to make the coming year the most useful and effecâ€" tive yet and to ‘this end plans are being considered so that the work may proâ€" cesd with the greatest possible eMâ€" ciency and good results.

As a result of the fire, it is learned approximately 250 men will be thrown temporarily out of employment, alâ€" though it is likely that some arrangeâ€" ment will be made for absorbing these men among the other units of the comâ€" pany‘s organization.

Ellies Son building on Third avenue, opposite the Hollinger Stores. The fire had a good start beâ€" fore discovery, and though the fireâ€" men made their usual instantangous reâ€" sponse, the flames were coming through the roof about the time the brigade arrived. The fire apparently started in the cellar near the furance and ran up the walls which were of light conâ€" struction. From the partitions the blaze ran along between floors and ceilings and thus gost a general spread beforse being noticed. On:z fitor in the rear 0o‘ the store made a particularly bad spot for handling the fire. Before the building was reâ€"filted by W. Ell‘es Son there had been a drop of abou a foot between the floor Of the front section of the building and the level of the small rear pari. In remdelling the building a new floor was placed on top of the old flosor and level with the front floor. This left a space for the fire to play before the peculiarity oi the construction was noted. Despi‘e the cold and the dense smoks, the light structure o‘ the building and all the other handicaps the firemen put up a wonderful battle against the fire. The fire was strictly confined to the ons building, the adjoining stores of R. Abraham Co. and the T. Eaton Co. were saved completely from fire, though the Abraham stock suffered from damâ€" age by smoke. The firemenm had seven streams playing on the fire and fought the blaze with efficiency, skill and prompt action. There is no doubtâ€"but that the good work of Fire Chief Borâ€" land and his men ‘saved a very much more serious fire in this case.

The way the fire ran through the walls and partitions it was necessary to atâ€" tack the fire from many sections. The fire was a very stubborn one and took about eight hours of steady work to completely conquer. It was 4 a.m. Tuesday before the firemen considered the blaze was all out, and even then men were left at the building for several hours after that to watch for any signs of any further outbreaks of the persistent fire. The ground floor of the building was occupied by the store of W. Eilies Son. The upsitairs were the apartâ€" ments occupied by the Ellies family. The family were away at the time of fire, attending various events in town, including the boxing bouts in which Geo. Ellies was one of the stars, The stocks in the store was totally desâ€" troyed, as were also beautiful furnishâ€" ings of the home in the apartments. The building also was badly gutted by the fire and appears to be about a total loss, The stock in the store are a total loss from fire, smoke and water, There was $15,000.00 insurance on the stocks, The T. Eaton Co. escaped any serious damage. Water seeped through into the cellar of the Eaton building but on account of the floor construction, the way the goods were piled in the cellar, and the excellent draingage of the celâ€" lar, the loss did not amount to much. There was no smoke damage to the Eaton stock, such as there was to the Abraham stocks, the type of building being a better one.
