They learned that a man without a ecat or boots haq turned down Banâ€" nerman avenue, and they followed in that direction in the car. The headâ€" lights of the car picked ‘up the man on the dock at the foot of the street, and at that minute he jumped headfirst inâ€" to the water, Arriving at the river the police made effort to induce him to grasp a pole so that he could be pulled to land. It was only as the water enâ€" tered his lungs after he had held his head under water that the man grasped the poie. In a minute he was pulled cluse enough for one of the officers to attempted _ murder and attempted suicide after they had fished him from the river where he had jumped in after the police <were searching for him. Neighbours complained to the police that apparently there was an insane man at 65 Elm street, south, the woman at the house having appealed to the neighbours for protection after being repeatedly stabbed with a pair of sharpâ€" pointed scissors. The police were very promplly at the scene and found the woman suffering from many wounds. Dr. Kelly was called at once and the woman removed to St. Mary‘s hospital, where it was found that she had sufâ€" fered twelve distinct wounds, some of them as much as two inches deep, though all had imissed vital spots. Mrs. Gaspovich is not in dangerous condition though the wounds are painâ€" ful and severe enough. | Sunday morning about 1.30 the police booked Ivan Gaspovich on charges of Attempted Murder and Attempted Suicide Here The council decided to make up to $500 whatever had been collected at the tag day in aid of the Cancer Fund. The total receipts from the sale of tags was expected to be nearly $400, so with anâ€" other $100 from the council, the even amount could be made.

The police and fire departments and all those who enâ€" tered floats in the parade were comâ€" mended for their good work. gested and .understood it was being planned to call a meeting where the whole thing would be aired. "However good the motive behind it, it should not be done," he said. "There are two men charged with very serious offenses. Whether or not they are guilty, the court has not said yet." Such an actionâ€" would be in contempt of court he maintained. "It would, perhaps, prejudice not only the prosecution but the defense too. Any evidence that has been gathered should be kept and preâ€" sentd to the court." Until such time as the case has come before the court, the solicitors say that it would be inadvisable to disclose any of it. After that time the whole thing could be gone over at a public meeting with no harm done. Four lawyers are working on the town‘s side of the case, Dean Kester, Charles Kerr, Crown Atâ€" torney 8. A. Caldbick and Charles W. Yates, in addition to the auditors.

He is known as a particularly good worker and steady, but recently has not been at work as usual. He has been employed for some time at the Hollinger and is well spoken of by those who know him. Gaspovich was called to face a charge of attempted murder at court on Tuesday it connetâ€" tion with his wife‘s injuries, but the ‘crase was remanded for a webk.

' Business at last Thursday‘s Meeting Dealt with Charâ€" ter Night and Plans for Work Here. It is possible that the Fesserton comâ€" pany will begin construction of a mill this summer, to be completed in tlme to handle the 1936 sawing. Plans are still being considered by the Fesserton Lumber Company for the construction of a new mill in Timâ€" mins but the plant will not be ready to gaw the 2,000,000 feet of wood cut this winter by bush crews. The contract for sawing the results of the winter‘s work has been let to Hawk Lake Lumâ€" ber Company who are now busy at the work. Fesserton Mill May be Started This Year Unsanitary Condition Cited Members of the Fnnish organization meeting in the hall on Fourth avenue objected strenuously to what they said was a bad sanitary condition caused by open toilets in that vicinity.

Dust Nuisance Brought Up. Dust nuisance in the tawn was brought to the attention of the council by Sydney Wheeler, Pine street south resident. He said that it was time something was done about and that on enquiring at the town office, he yas told the oil had not arrived. He claimâ€" ed that the furniture in his home was being ruined, that they ate dust with every meal and breathed it all night. Speeding on Pine street south was the cause of the dust, he said, and the polâ€" ice could not check it easily as motorâ€" ists slowed down as soon as the police car hove in sight. "I look on it as a legitimate grievance from the people at that end of the town." he concluded.

There have been many complaints in past years that the small corner groceries do not observe holidays and especially are they inclined to disreâ€" gard the halfâ€"holiday early closing each Wednesday. Yesterday Chief of Police R. Paul angqg Mayor Richardson visited a number of these smaller stores and warned them that they must cbserve tlr early closing hour byâ€"law. On Wedâ€" nesday afternoons the corner groceries, las well as the larger stores, must close. lThose that are more candy stores than ’grccsries, but handle lines of groceries, must forego the sale of groceries on Wednesday afternoon. Chief Paul inâ€" tends to enfCrce the law so long as it is part of the regulations of the town, but he has given fair warning to all, so that there will be no excuse now for any the smaller stores continuing to break the law. It appears to be a lque«tlon of ceither closing the smaller .stmco or having them all stay open with consequent longer hours for clerks ’and others. If the smaller stores look at it fairly there is little question but that there will be no further trouble or unfairness in this matter.

Every MONDAY and THURSDAY The town hall and police station, the fire hall, the fire chief‘s residence, the post office and other public buildings in town were gaily decorated with flags, bunting and the royal colours, yellow and purple, for the â€"occasion. St. Mary‘s hospital was artistically decorâ€" ated with flags for the day, and a new flagpole on the lawn carrying a large British flag while smaller flags dotted the lawn and hung from every window of the building. The post office at night had every light burning on orâ€" ders from Ottawa as one of the tributes to the King and Queen. All the streets flags were out. Many of the stores and other buildings were specially deâ€" corated and a large number of the reâ€" sidences carried flags and bunting.

There were about fifty attractive and impressive floats; about 3,000 people, men, women and children, most of them in national costumes and many of them picturesque and pleasing, walkâ€" ed in the parade. The big parade atâ€" tracted another monster crowd of probâ€" ably ten or eleven thousand people, there being many visitors from neighâ€" bouring towns, Cochrane, Iroquois Falls, Kirkland Lake, Rouyn and other places in the North sending their quota. Schumacher and South Porcuping, both these town having ceremonies of their own in the morning, joined the demonstration here in the afternoon and did much to add to its outstanding success. : Timmins Pays Notable Tribute Monday to King Literally Thousands in Parade Three Miles Long.
