The driver of the truck said he had wiwwued the men to keep down off the hay, but they had apparently disregarded the warning angq were riding on the peak of the load with their backs to the wind. Accordâ€" ingly, they did not notice the danger they were in when going through the subway. They were terribly battered about the head and face. Grzyena died in a few minutes, while Drop is in North Bay hospital not expected to reâ€" cover, his skull being fractured. Both men were about 25 or 26 years of ags anq were riding the truck with the purpose of going to Temagami to take jobs in a lumber camp. The driver of the truck was unaware of the accident at the timse. A young lady waiting for her father to call for her at the colâ€" legiate noticed the accident and the father followed the truck and overâ€" took it just past Thibeault hill. The height of the lsad of hay in the csntre was 11 feet nine inches, while the bridge had only 14 fest clearance. While there was lots of room for the men to rest safely below the top level of bales, they had apparently climbed to the peak despite the warning given them. Investigation was made in the case by the North Bay police.

On Monday evening C. W. Hodgins left his car in front of the Timmins Sausage Works for a few minutes, and when he return:td the car was gone. He reported the thefit of the car to the police and the town was thoroughly searcheq for trace of the stolen car but without result, After secveral hours‘ search of the town it was evident that the car was not wijthin the town limits. In the meantime outside points were notified‘ to be on the lookout for the car, This is the usual procedure to "bottle up" stolen cars and make it imâ€" when some accident occurred. The difâ€" ferencs in this case was that it took longer than usual for the car.to be located. It was early Wednesday mornâ€" ing before this car was found. About 2.30 Wednesday mo:si:sz the car was discovered on the road to Cook‘s lake about two miles from town. The car was a total wreck, tbeing damaged beâ€" yond repair by fire. The cushions of the car were burned to ashes and this was also the fate of other parts of the car. The tires cf the car were also a total loss. The body of the car stood up in fine shape but the damage done by the fire made the car a total loss so far as any further use was concerned. Afâ€" ter the polic»s visited the scene of the wrecked car, it was found that the car had been in the ditch from Monday night about nine o‘clock. At that time the lights were on and it looked as if the car had run off the road. Passersâ€" by thought, no doubt, that there had bsen an accident and that the driver of the car had left to get the wrecker or other helo. So far as can be learned the abandoned car had been left in the ditch by the side of the road from around nine o‘clock on Monday night until after two o‘clock on Wednesday morning. For some reason or another the car took fire on Wednesday mornâ€" ing. Peovle in the vicinity saw the blaze made by the burning car, but ncthing could be done. The car was completely ruined. It is thought that the "joyâ€"riders" used the car until the gas was exhausted or something else went wrong and th:n the car was ditched. Whether the thief or thieves returned to the car on Wednesday morning or whether someone else atâ€" tsmpted to start the car again is not plain, but in any event it is clear that the car tcok fire on Wednesday mornâ€" ing and when the fire was through with the car it was not worth much. The car was a valuable one andâ€" comâ€" paratively new. Stolen Car Found Destroyved by Fire Death of W. O‘Flynn Pioneer Mining Man In Timmins and district there was very general and sincere regret at the news r:aching here this week that Wilâ€" liam O‘Flynn, manager of the O‘Brien Mine at Cobalt for the past six years and wellâ€"known and highly regarded all through the North, had passed away in Toronto cn Monday night. The late Mr. O‘Flynn was one of the pioneers of the Porcupine camp, being at the Mcâ€" Intyre in the early days of that mine and making many friends here at that time and in the days since. The late Wm. O‘Flynn underwent an operation at Toronto on Wednesday Late Manager of O‘Brien Mine Foreman at MclInâ€" tyre in hculy Days. Well Known in the North.

Timmins H#o N\USF THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO At the time of his death the late Mr. O‘Flynn was in his 6l1st year. He had lived an eventful and purposeful life. Born in the County of Cork, the son of an Irish barrister, he came to Canâ€" ada with his people some 30 or 40 ,fyears ago. The family setled on a ranch near Calgary and it was from the latter city that Mr. O‘Flynn enlistâ€" ed with the Second Canadian Mounted \ Rifles for service in the South African |\â€" _His khigh standing in mining circles 'was equalled by the regard with which | h2 was held in the community and othâ€" |er activities. Hée was a member of the !chalt Public School Board for some | years and was chairman of the board ifor a time. He was an interested memâ€" iber of the Haileybury Golf Club, being president of the club for two years. He was a valued member of the Masonic | Order. After his term at college he wont to .rizona with the Phelps Dodge Co. On his return to Canada he became chief chemist for the Mond Company at Sudbury. From Sudbury he went to Cobalt as mill superintendent at the Beaver Mine. Next, he was engineetr at the O‘Brien, going there in July. 1920. In 1929 he was appointed manager of the O‘Brien, holding that position until his death. The late Mr. O‘Flynn stoo@ high in is profession. He was a director of the Ontario Mining Association and a valâ€" ued member of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metaliurgy. When the Professicnal Engineers‘ Association was formed some years ago he took a proâ€" minent part in its organization and advancement. of last wetk and it was hoped that he was making good recovery but he died suddenly on Monday evening. At the O‘Brien Mine and at the pubâ€" lic school at Cobalt this week flags were‘ at halfmast in tribute to the memory of the late Mtr. O‘Flynn. He is survived by his widow, formerly Miss Ruth Hill, of Toronto, and two daughters, Misses Margaret and Barâ€" bara, at home in Cobalt. The funeral is being held this afterâ€" nccon (Thursday) from St. James‘ Anâ€" glican Church, Cobalt, with burial beâ€" ing made in the Mount Pleasant cemeâ€" tery at Haileybury. Says Northern Returned Soldiers Showing the W ay ‘"Northern Ontario soldiers who seryvâ€" ed King and country in the Great War were noted for their initiative and reâ€" scurcefulness. They could always be deâ€" pended upon to mset courageously and effectively any difficult situation which developed. "And now, in the days of peace, one finds the same sprit pervading the lives of the Northern vsterans. They are assuming the lead in aggressiventss and progress, especially as it affects the interests of the great body of men who served. An editorial article in The Sudbury Star on Monday of this week says:â€" "Brigadierâ€"General Ross, president of the Canadian Legion, id the Sudbury Legionnaires last week that he seldom attendeg branch meetings, but that ‘the spirit of the Legion of the North had impelled him to see what force was behind it.‘ "*Your steadfastntss is to be comâ€" mended,‘ he told the exâ€"soldiers here. ‘The record of the Sudbury branch, the Sault and the Timmins branches will give you the reason why we have weathereq our first 10 years as well as we have. The Northern branches ars a moral force that kept us going until we could make an impression in the cities.‘ "It has been said that the Northâ€" land is not a place for weaklings, and this is so. The devgélopment of the northern section of the province has depended upon the vigor of farâ€"seeing, energetic men, and women too. In the opening up of this vast and rich emâ€" pire north of the C.P.R. men have learned to be resolute, persevering and indefatigable, and these characteristics have been carried into everything the Northerner has undertaken. "It is not surprising, therefore, that the northern exâ€"scrvicemen should be blazing the trail for their comrades in other sections of the country. These men have been through the mill, so to speak, and the spirit of the North, which inspired them in their arduous services at the battle front, permeates their lives now. It is so, also, with men in all spheres, ‘because the remarkable development that the North Country has seen since the beginning of this century could not have been possible without the persistency, vigor and faith which have been the main characterâ€" istics in the opening up of Ontario‘s hinterland." Councillor Eugene Danis, of Kirkland Lake, is one of the lucky winners of the free trip for the Vimy offered by the Campbellford, Ont., branch of the Canadian Legion. He bought one ticket and does not think that ‘he will be able to take in the trip, so that shows what luck is like. But as he can cash in on the ticket, his luck isn‘t so bad.

It is true that there is the occasional reckless driver but in the main the motorists are anxious to avoigq accidents and are sspecially deâ€" sirous of preventing any injury to, youngsters. Unless there is corresponâ€" ding care on the part of pedestrians, both cld and young, there is danger of an accident at any time. This we‘k there were two minor moâ€" tor accidents that might easily have developed into tragedies. In neither case would it appear that the car driver was in any way to blame. In the one case a boy ran cut across road diâ€" rectly in the path of a taxi. The driver made the greatest pnossible effort to avoid hitting the lad, but the boy, who was about nine years old, was just out of school and in a hurry apparently to get home and he dash:d into the path of the car. Fortunately the car was travelling at a slow rate of speed and the brakes were in perfect condition. As it was the noon hour on Monday, and as it was near a school, the driver was apparently exercising special care. The lad, however, was struck by the car and was thrown forcisly ahead. It appeared for a minulte or two that the lad would suffer serious injury or might even be killed. As a matter of fact, however, the lad was not even scratched and after he haq been looked after by a doctor he was allowed to proceed home. Two Young Lads Eseape Inâ€" jury When Struck by Cars in Town This Week. The other case occurred on Tuesday about opposite 47 Wilson avenue. A lad of about seven years of age ran out across the path of a car and was struck with considerable force. He did not give the griver a chance, one eyeâ€" witness said. But in this case also the boy was unhurt. In the accident, howâ€" ever, six bars in the front of the "rad" were smashed by the impact, while the lad was thrown a considerable disâ€" tance. Parsnts and cthers cannot overâ€" emphasize the need for youngsters watching tarefully beftore attempting to cross streets these days.

Nothing can be stated as to the cause.

With the flames under control they then proceeded to ventilate the headframe to enable them to examine the whole structure.
