TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18T, 1931 | tended this year to help the Sheiter in 1 other ways. It is hoped the response to the call for the hosp.tal will be cilally generous. The fruit is to be left with Mrs. J. W. Faithful, 30 Tamarack s:reet, Miss Copp, 60 Third avenue, or at A. J. Shragge‘s store. All donations Melvin Meredith, a youngs man of| 19 years of age, is dead, and his friend, Leonard McNeill, is out on bail on the charge of criminal negligence as a result of a shooting accident that ocâ€" curred about three o‘clock on Sunday afternoon ‘at P. J. O‘Neill‘s farm just outside the town limits. Melvin Mereâ€"| dith, his brother, George, aged 15 yrs., and their friend, Leonard McNeill, aged 17 years, went out on Sunday afternoon for some target practice, carrying a 22 rifle owned by Leonard McNeill. Arâ€" riving at the O‘Neill farm they shot at. some tin cans and other targets, and eventually Melvin proposed that they do some target work in the manner of William Tell. It was first suggested that George put a can on his head for the other two lads to aim at, but he would not consider this. Finally, Melâ€" vin Meredith put the can on Leonard McNeill‘s head and then safely shot it off. As George told the police afterâ€" wards Melvin aimed high and puncturâ€" ed the can without injury to the lad beneath. Then Melvin put the can on 'his own head for Leonard to shoot at. Unfortunately, Leonard‘s shot was ‘little too low and the bullet ploughed through the cap and entered the scalp. Melvin fell to the ground, holding his head. Immediately, the boys got help, Dr. Stahl was hastily summoned and the lad was hurried to the hospital where everything possible was done for him but he passed away about halfâ€" past nine that night. It is thought that the loss of blood and the shock, rather lthan the actual wound itself, were reâ€" Dsponsible for the young man‘s death. The shots were fired from a distance of about ten or twelve feet and the young fellows no doubt thought the chances for an accident were small, but unforâ€" tunately the incident ended in a fatalâ€" ity. Leonard McNeill was heartbroken at the tragedy, and the others members of his family were similarly affected by the deplorable happening to one who had for years been a close friend of the family. Leonard McNeill was placed under arrest about midnight on Sunday on a charge of negligence in the use of a rifle, causing mortal injury to Melvin Meredith. His father accompanied him Young Man Fatally Shot Here on Sunda Melvin Meredith, Aged 19 Yeary/Dies in Hospital, After Taking Part in Shooting in the William Tell Manner. Help the Fruit Show for the St. Mary‘s Hospital A fruit shower under the auspices of the Daughters of the Empire is being held for the St, Mary‘s hospital, Timâ€" mins. The ILO.D.E. believe ‘that the hospital is particularly worthy of this help at any time, but that this year in view of all the hospital has done in the way of feeding transient unemployec here this summer the presentation of any sont of food to the hosriital is parâ€" ticulariy appropriat° and deserved this year. Last year the I1.0.D.E. held a particularly successful fruit shower for the hospital and the Shelter,. It is inâ€" to the police station and stayed the night with him. The case was remandâ€" ed to next week, and the young fellow is out on bail of $2,000.00. Both families are very highly regardâ€" ed in town where they have been resiâ€" dents for some years, and there is genâ€" al sympathy in the tragedy that has overtaken them. The late Melvin Meredith was born in Wales, coming here seven years ago when the family moved to Timmins, his father Geo. Meredith being emâ€" ployed at the Hollinger. In addition to the bereaved parents, two brothers and three sisters survive. The funeral on Wednesday was very largely attendâ€" ed and there were large numbers of beautiful floral tokens. Service" was held at the Timmins United Church, and interment made at the Timmins cemetery. It was expected that a quota of 50 or 75 men from Timmins would be taken to work on the Transâ€"Canada highway this week, but this could not be done as the camps were not ready. It is hoped in the: course of a few days, however to have the first quota from here start on this work. The Lutheran Evangelist Church reâ€" cently established at Schumacher will hold services .in the Finnish United Church, corner of Sixth and Elm street, Schumacher, every Sunday at 1.30 p.m. The first of these weekly services will be on Sunday, Oct. 4th.

Seyâ€" eral Visitors Welcomed to the Club on Monday last. Business Meeting at the Kiwanis Club There was no special speaker at the Kiwanis Club luncheon on Monday and the meeting was largely taken up with a discussion of maiters of general inâ€" terest to the club. One of these quesâ€" tions was the Kiwanis plan for speedâ€" ing up its work for underprivileged children and for child welfare. It is intended to continue and extend the work for crippled and sick children and for the help of youngsters in other ways. One of the ideas that has been considered recently is the building of a playroom for the Children‘s Shelter. To get all this under way the Kiwanis are inaugurating a membership camâ€" paign for the Kiwanis Child Welfare. When the membership is secured there will be valuable gifts for a number of those joining the membership of the Kiwanis Child Welfare. These gifts will include:â€"De Soto sedan, electric refrigerator and a ultraâ€"modern type of radio. Among the visitors for the day were: Mr. Greenway, of Fry‘s Cocoa, Montâ€" real; Mr. MacDonald, of San Franscisâ€" co; and Ralph Taylor, former District Governor of the Kiwanis. Mr. Greenâ€" way spoke a few brief but pleasing words, giving his favourable impresâ€" sion of Timmins and the North on this, his first, visit to the North Land. Mr. Taylor spoke interestingly and helpâ€" fully of the Windsor convention and delighted all with the odd Scottish story. Kiwanian D. Chapple was at his last meeting at the club here prior to leavâ€" ing for another field. He will be missâ€" ed at the Kiwanis cluo and will be followed by all good wisshes and the advice, "hurry back." Skakoon Committed as Insane This Week At the fall assizes at Cochrane this week true bills were returned by the grand jury in the two cases from Timâ€" mins. Mike Skakoon, charged with the murder of Mrs. Lecke at Timmins last May, was adjudged to be insane and will be committed to an asylum. He was defended by John Greer, who was assigned to the case by the court as Skakoon had no counsel. A very able defence was mad by Mr. Greer in view of the cireumstances of the case. The other Timmins case was a charge of rape against a young fellow named Chalut. The jury were out five hours in this case and eventually asked that the charge be reduced to common asâ€" sault. The young man will be senâ€" tenced toâ€"day or toâ€"morrow. He has already been in jail for three months.

VOLUNTEERS WANTED FOR BLOOD TRANSFUSION HERE Large Amount for Roads for Settlers In Addition to Ferguson Highway and Kirklandâ€"Cheminis Road, over $219,â€" 000.00 to be Spent in This Ridâ€" ing for Roads for Settlers. For some time past A. F. Kenning, M.P.P., has been working earnestly in the interests of securing more money for roads for settlers in this riding. Hon. W. Finlayson, Minister of ‘ Land# and Forests, and in charge of the Norâ€" thern Development Dept., is anxious this year that so far as possible needed roads for settlers shall be built so as to give the settlers access to markets and better chance for the development of the country, as well as to help remeâ€" dy the unemployment situation. Hon. Mr. Finlayson recently secured a list of the road work necessary in this disâ€" trict and that should be done at once in the interests of the country and the settlers. This list was prepared by the officials of the department and was enâ€" dorsed by Mr. Kenning. It has been approved by Hon. Mr. Finlayson. It means that this fall and winter a total of $219,200.00 has been set aside for settlers‘ roads in South Cochrane. The work is in addition to any expenditures on the Ferguson highway, or the road from Kirkland Lake to Cheminis. It may be noted that of this amount the estimated total for Mountjoy township is $18,600.00. Besides this amount there are to be four miles of new road cut and stumped between Concession 2 and 3, Mountjoy. The expenditure in Mountjoy will mean that every man in that township may be assured that there will be work for him this winter if he is in any need and that the townâ€" ship people will be able to carry oun. In addition the expenditures will be of great value in the normal way of deâ€" velopment and progress of the townâ€" ship.
