Timmins Business College The Navigable Waters Protection Act The Navigable Waters Protection Act. R, 8. C, 1927, Chapter 140 R. S. C. 19827, Chapter 140 GORDON H. GAUTHIER By his solicitors Gauthier Platus Six Months Each for Communist Leaders Two of the Rioters at Kirkland Lake Given Stiff Terms, Cleanâ€"up of Di;turbers of the Peace at Kirkiand Lake, saulted, windows smashed and other damage ddone, the disorder arising from the refusal of a group of comâ€" munists to obey police orders as to the holding of one of their meetings. The previous week at the Kirkland Lake police court, six men were sentenced to two months each in jail. The three others, giving the namezs of John Boyâ€" chuk, Joa Billings and Jalo Ketola, were remanded to last week. On Thursday two of them were sentenced to six months in jail with hard laboutr. The cther escaped with a fine of $100.00 and costs or two months" imprisonment The three were charged with obstructâ€" ing the plslice. At Kirkland Lake on Thursday mornâ€" ing last Magistrate Atkinson had three of the men before him in connection with the recent riot at Kirkland Lake in which several policemen were asâ€" According to despatches from Kirkâ€"| land Lake on Thursday last, John Boyâ€". chuk and Joe Billings were the two men sentenced to imprisonment. Evidence given the previous week showed that they had formed the definite plan of obstructing the police and urging thei hearers to do likewise, the magistrate thought. This pair had organizedâ€"the daemonstration, and despite police warnâ€" ings, had attempted to hold it at a. downtown intersection. Stones had beâ€" gun to fly at the priolice the riot terminâ€" ating only after a halfâ€"hour‘s struggie, with several store windcws shattered and policemeon injured. Billings was recognized as a former Sudbury Comâ€" munist, who was fined there last year for his part in a street fray, then appearing under the name of Billinsky. While refusing to acknowâ€" ledge his identity, Billings would not deny the record produced. Kelola was the driver of the truck which Boychuk and Billings used as a platform from which to address the crowd. While cbeying the initial police order to move on, the truck had returned to the scene to accommodate ‘the speakers. In view of Ketola‘s youth and the fact that he wa; a married man with a family, Maâ€" gistrate Atkinson took a lenient view of his case. "Two months after the fourth trial, Alexander was arrested in Kirkland Lal;c on the arson charse, which folâ€" lowed the destruction by fire of a dry goods stock he carried in a store in the was killed in the Drocourt wreck on thae CNR., but his evidence later was adâ€" mitted as an extract from previous reâ€" cords. Initial attempts to lodge an appeal by denfence failed, when Hugh Macâ€" donald, Toronto, acting through a local firm, asked the Bench to grant it at the close of the case. j The appeal was ruled out of corder, however, and bail for the priscners flatly refused. Appliâ€" cation for retrial will be made, it is unâ€" derstood. This is said to be the most severe sentence ever imposed by an Onâ€" tario court upon Communist deéemonâ€" strators. #o of time, and inadmissible, also that the verdict was perverse and that the trial judge erred in his instructions to the jury. The trial at Cochrane tock place after application had been made for a change of venue from Haileybury where three juries had heard the stories told by the warring parties. One witâ€" ness who testified in the earlier stages "At the last trial, held before Mr. Justice Garrew and a jury at the Suâ€" preme Court sittings in Cochrane on October 9 last, the jury found the plaintiff had been negligent in attemptâ€" ing to alight from the train at an imâ€" proper point, and they dismissed his claim. An appeal was taken by Alexâ€" andeor on the ground that evidence ofâ€" fered by the C.NR. was barred by lapse of time, and inadmissible, also that the verdict was perverse and that the Alexander Case Now Close to a Record CNR. entering upon another phase to make it four trials and three apâ€" peals, this litigation bids fair to esâ€" tablish a unique record for Canadian courts. Last week, an arljeal by Alexâ€" ander from a decision of a Supreme Court jury at Cochrane, in which his claim for $20,000 damages from the railway was dismissed about a year ago, was to have come before the court at Osgoode Hall, but owing to the illâ€" ness ef his lawyer, the case was adâ€" journed and set at the foot of the list. It will come up again in the near fuâ€" ture. "Alexander, who, incidentally, is out on heavy bail to appear at the Fall Assizes in December on a charge of arson, lost a foot under the wheels of the westbound Continental Limited in Kapuskasing yards as far back as May 15, 1925. He brought action against the railway for damages, alleging negliâ€" gence on the part of its servants in the operation of the train, but the deâ€" fence maintained plaintiff had been rum running at the time, and producâ€" ed many witnesses in an effort to have the acticon dismissed. Three times the case went before a jury at Haileybury, and once it came uyp here, and the score now stands, two wins for plaintiff in the lower courts, one draw and one loss, with two setbacks in the Court of Apâ€" peals. Legal Dispute Over Kapuskasing Acciâ€" dent at Another Stage. Case to be Before the Courts Again at Early Date. A despatch this week from Cochrane says:â€""With the long drawn out legal dispute between Sayed Alexander, forâ€" mer Kapuskasing merchant, and the gold camp town. His case was brought up at the Fall Assizes in Haileybury a few days later, but was adjourned to the next court by Mr. Justice Kelly, after accused‘s lawyer, M. G. Hunt, had applied for postponement on the ground he had not had time to prepare his deâ€" fence. Alexander appeared before Mr. Justice Garrow and a jury at Haileyâ€" bury last April, when the panel failed to reach an agreement, and he tained in custody at the December sitâ€" tings. Many witnesses were heard on both sides at the first trial, and the jury was out overnight before reportâ€" ing it could not reach the required unâ€" animity. "At the first trial of the civil action, in Haileybury, jury awarded Alexâ€" ander $4,221 and costs, but this verdict was set aside, on appeal by the C.N.R., and a new trial ordered. On the second occasion, the jury could not agree. The third time, a finding of $10,000 and costs was returned by the jury which heard the evidence, but this verdict, too, went the way of the first when the Apâ€" peal Court rendered its decision after the defendants had challenged the reâ€" sult. Subsequently, the case was traâ€" versed to Cochrane, and once again an appeal, but this time by the other parâ€" ty, followed the decision of the jury which tried the case." Creighton Mine Man Attacked by Thug E. J. Greenway, general manager for Fry‘s Cocoa, Montreal, was a visitor to Timmins this week. This was his first visit this far north and he was greatly impressed with the country in general and the town of Timmins in particular. He remarked that the only way to aypâ€" preciate the possibilities of any counâ€" try or section of country was to see it onesel{ and his view of the North and of Timmins gave him new and opinion of the possibilities of this area. Old Man HMHas Skull Fractured but Crawls Two Miles to Police. Search Being Made for the Thug Reâ€" sponsible, Ontario Provincial and Interns‘ional Nickel Company police are scouring the country around Creighton Mine for an unknown man who hit Alex Braka, Creighton Mine workman, over the head with an axe, fracturing his skull and causing other serious wounds. The motive is believed to have been robbery. Braka is an old man, living alone in a small shack on the outâ€" skirts of the village of Creighton Mine. Braka agreed to accompany him back for the suitcase with a light. On the pretext that they might meet a bear, which are plentiful in that district, the stranger carried an axe. <~About two miles out of town the stranger suddenly, without warning,, struck Braka over the head with tge axe. Though his skull was fractured by the blow, Braka grappled with his assailant, and sucâ€" ceeded in wresting the axe from him. The stranger took to his heels in the direction of the village. Afraid to walk back along the road for bear of being ambushed. Braka struck across country to the village, through dense bush and across a swamp.
