The Timmins town council met on Thursday evening last in regular sesâ€" sion. Mayor Richardson called the meeting to order at 7.30 with Councilâ€" lors Chateauvert,, Bartleman and Beâ€" lec present. After the meeting had started Councillor Maltais arrived, and some time later Councillor Laprairic made his entrance. Councillor Paâ€" quette was absent. Only a handful of people were present for the meeting. There were the usual relief cases. A widow with taxes due on two proâ€" perties asked council to forego the taxes on one of them. She was told to see the town clerk, but was not satâ€" isfied with this and so was informed that the mayor would go into the quesâ€" tion with her. A man who bought a property from Mr. Perreault and said he understood the taxes woere to be cleared up obâ€" jected to being billed for back taxes. The mayor said he would take the matter up with Mr. Perreault and see what could be done.

At about 4.30 in the afternoon some of the girls at the High School were getting into form for their annual field day, which was scheduled ifor this Friday on the ball grounds. Bicycles were brought to school that afternoon for practice in relay racing, and severâ€" al had tried riding on Broadway aveâ€" nue, outside the High School. This avenue runs at right angles to the highway. Stella Brown and Marjorie Costain were competing with each other the other girls timing and watching. When they reached the highway with the truck approaching, they were unâ€" able to stop, and both went across. Marjorie Costain got safely over into the opposite ditch but Stella Brown struck the truck, although the driver did everything in his power to avoid her (he took the left ditch in trying) and the poor child was flung from the bicycle, striking her head on the stones in the ditch. Mr. Purdy, principal of the High School, had left for home,. but was summoned and came immediâ€" ately, and doctors were sent for, Drs. MclLaren and Kinsman both attending. Little hope was given for her life as she was bleeding from the mouth, but she was placed upon a stretcher and taken to the Presbyterian hospital,. At six o‘clock she succumbed to her inâ€" juries. The bicycle on which she was riding is a complete wreck. A lady on Sixth avenue complained Btella Brown, aged 14, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Brown, of Golden avenue was badly injured and afterwards died, when the bicycle upon which she was riding collided with a government truck on the highâ€" way.

The meeting this evening will commence at 8 p.m.â€" Evidently the local Liberals look for a comparatively early election for the Dominion. This was the opinion exâ€" pressed recently at Scotty Springs by ’Jos. A. Bradette, M.P., for this riding, who urged his audience to be ready and organize for the election. Word from Ottawa does not suggest an early election. Indeed, the suggestions from government circles at the capital is that the election is most likely to be: held next year in the late summer or. fall. However, the best idea is to be ready. This is evidently the idea of the local Liberals. When the Liberals organ‘i‘zed a year before the recent proâ€" vincial election there was some who thought early organization a mistake. It turned out otherwise, however, and results are what count in politics. Local Liberals Planning to Organize for Coming Federal Election, Mecting Toâ€"Night in Moose Hall.

Tuesday evening the police were notified that a.couple of drunks had fallen against the outside window of Lowery‘s Wholesale and broken it. Constable Olson and Williams answerâ€" ed the call and finding a couple of inâ€" toxicated men on Pine street started to take them in charge. ‘The two men, John Sibar and Mike Marvin, of 18 Montgomery avenue, put up a great battle. Constable Williams got the handcuffs on Marvin and put him in the wagon and then went to assist Constable Olson. Marvin took the opâ€" portunity to escape, taking the handâ€" cufls with him. Constable Williams gave chase and eventually caught him hiding in a box car. He was taken back to the patrol wagon, and the conâ€" stables also subdued Sibar, but not before the latter had bitten Constable Olson so severely on the thumb that medical attention was necessary.

Wilfred Shields, Pat Letang and Dorothy Burke are dead, and Stella Kramer, aged 14 years, is the only one left alive of the four young people enjoying a cance trip on the creek running through Dalton‘s Farm at the outskirts of the town and emptying into the Mattagami River. The four young people had hired a canoe from the Riverside pavilion after supper and were paddling on Fulham Creek when tragedy came. Whether the cance struck one of the many "deadheads" in the creek, or whether a sudden movement of one of the ocâ€" cupants of the canoe caused it to overâ€" turn will never be, known. After the accident the young girl who was the only survivor said that it all occurred so quickly that she really did not know what happened except that the canoe tipped over and suddenly they were all in the water. There was one eye witâ€" ness of the accident, Mr. Mooring, who lives near the scene of the tragedy, but the gathering darkness made it difficult to be sure of what had caused the acâ€" cident. Stella Kramer, who is a good swimmer, made for the north bank, and as the creek is only atbout 55 feet Three Young People Drowned When Canoe Upsets in River As noted in Ivance, W.

On this bank there is nothing to grasp and evidently the young man was unable to draw himself and the girl from the water. Likely exhausted with their efforts to drag themselves from the water, they sank not more than three feet from the shore. As soon as he saw Stella Kramer in the good care of Mrs. Bunce, Mr. Moorâ€" ing hurried to Dalton‘s ceoment brick, yard, and phoned the police ih regard to the tragedy. The call came into the town police office about halfâ€"past cight, and Sergt. Salley after attempting to locate the provincial police, visited the scene of the accident, and also saw the survivor of the accident. The Forestry Branch tendered assistance as soon as they learned of the accident. They have excellent equipment and worked patiently all night in effort to recover the bodies. Sergt. Salley and others also spent the night lassisting in the search for the bodies. On returning from work at the mine in the morning Omer Goulet hurried to the scene to give any assistance he could in the search. He is an expert at the work, having recovered at least six bodies by his skilful work at dragging. He has a system in his use of the dragging equipment and in less than an hour had recovered the body of Wilfred Shields about 15 feet from the north bank. In a short time after that he had the body of Pat Letang near the south bank, and thought that the other body wide at the scene of the accident, she was able to make the shore in safety. The north bank slopes up gradually and she had no difficulty in landing. Wilfred Shields was close behind her and reached the shallow water where he was able to stand up. Then he notâ€" ed that the other two seemed to be in diffculties and he promptly went back to aid them. He was evidently taken with cramps and sank about fifteen feet from the shore. Mr. Mooring was unable to assist the others, but helped Stella Kramer to the home of Mrs. Thos. Bunce, Daiton‘s Farm. â€" Myrs. Bunce put the girl to bed, making hot tea and toast for her, and thus no doubt warding off an attack of pneumonia after the girl‘s trying exâ€" perience. In the meantime it appears that Pat Letang, who was a good swimmer, was helping Dorothy Burke to shore, this girl being a poor swimâ€" mer. Unfortunately they made for the south bank. On that side the bank is (Continued on Page Three) Paid Circulation Last W eck
