He was ! in charge of some dogs owned by John \ Jones in Deloro, and it was claimed _that the dogs were not properly fed ‘ and cared for. The gentleman with the Irish name claimed that he had Ttried to look after the dogs but that be might not just know how to feed them. The case was dismissed, the lbenefit of the doubt being given the ‘accused in the matter. A charge of illegal possession of liâ€" quor was remanded for a week. R. Edleston, game warden, had a couple: of men before the court for breach of the game laws. For trapâ€" ping fur without a license one man was fined $25.00 and costs, while another was fined $50.00 and costs for killing a female moose. Mrs. Lloyd Brewer was a visitor to Ansonville last week. One plain and one fancy drunk each paid the regular tariff of $10.00 and costs. The fancy drunk was a woman who made considerable disturbance on the street and still more after being placed in a cell. A nonâ€"support case that has been before the court for several weeks was dismissed. Another case that created considerâ€" able interest was the charge of prostiâ€" tution against a young woman giving the name of Miss Proulx. The court, which was crowded to the doors was cleared for this cases, much to the disappointment of many who expected some questionable evidence. One character in town gave evidence to anyone convicted of giving liquor to young boys and girls would be severely dealt with. It cost him $20.00 and costs or a total of $43.25. It would have been cheaper for him to have thrown a nice clean snowball. Trere was quite an array of cases at police court this week, most of them being town cases, with a couple ‘of charges preferred by Provincial Conâ€" stable Hartlichb and some others by Game ‘Warden R. Edleston. One of the most interesting cases was that of the assault charge against Tony Ostovitch. Last week Ostovitch was ordered by the court to pay wages due John Sekulie. This apparently made Ostovitch very angry and going out of the court he spit in the lad‘s face. This week he was in court for this offence. He admitted doing the dirty trick because he had lost the case. Ugliness Over Loss of Case Cost $43.25 Man Spit in Lad‘s Face and it Proved Costly. Many Cases at Police Court Here This Week.

Then Gagnon after clever work by the visitors made it three for South End. In less than anâ€" other minute Krupka and McKinnon did their nifty work,;, Krupka scoring this time on the pass from Mcâ€" Kinnon.

Some of the Toronto newspapers made sensational stories about the supâ€" posed terrible explosion and the allegâ€" ed probable loss of life, It was an odd coincidence that the only recent loss of life from an exrl.osion was that of a visitor to â€"Toronto who was killed as a result of a sewerâ€"gas explosion that ocâ€" curred just as he walked across a manâ€" hole near the union station. When the airship passengers reached the camp at Kamiskotia the men there were surprised to see them and had no idea as to what had caused the hurried trip by air. The daily papers made much of this feature of the case when giving the revised Story that no damâ€" age had been done and no lives lost in the explosion and no one even shocked by it. One despatch in a daily in this regard says:â€" "Explosion? Oh, yeah, we did shoot some old powder a while ago." That was the comment of Charles Cumâ€" mings, foreman of gang of workmen who were cleaning up the Hollinger Mine‘s prospect at Kamiskotia, 17 miles from here, when an airplane carrying Dr. H. H. Moore and W. H. Pritchard, master mechanic of the Hollinger, landed on a small lake near the procâ€" pect to investigate the "terrible exâ€" plosion" which occurred yesterday, and which, for a time, was the source of some remarkable rumours. "What‘s wrong?" he wanted to know. "That‘s what we want to know," was the reply. "Anyone hurt in the exâ€" plosion ?" There were a number of linemen at work dismantling the power line to Kamiskotia, and some of the reports connected them with injuries from the explosion. It turned out that they had been notified of the work of the burnâ€" ing of the powder and were also able to safeguard themselves from danger of any explosion that might occur.
