All three previously had attended a party given Easter night at the home of accused‘s sister. Perron denied familiarity with the womsgn when questioned on the point by Geo. Mitchell, K.C., defence counsel. He said she and another man had been there when he first looked into the room, and afterwards obtained her permission to sleep there. He was alone when awakened by Robitaille, who orâ€" ered him cout, giving no reason and using abusive language, complainant swore., Robitaille, according to Perron, struck him, twisted his arm, put him cn the floor, damaged two o his teeth, and picking up a chair, threatâ€" ened to kill him.

He ordered Perron out, he said, ard when he did not comply, hit him sgain. The evidence regarding the alâ€" legzed presence of Mrs. Robitaille in the room (which adjoins the proprietor‘s private apartments) was corroborated by a Ville Marie man named Jubenâ€" ville, who had come late to the hotel and, asking Robitaille for a room, was shown to that where Perron had gone. Ifâ€" statistics were readily available. it is doubtful if they would reveal that residents of Northern Ontario mining kamps are in any sense more lawless or disreputable than those of manufacâ€" turing or farming centres in other parts cf the province. In addition to the obâ€" vious fact that Northerners are of a natural lawâ€"abiding bent, the church and cther institutions in the North, as elsewhere, spread their influence in the field of good works. whose beverage rcom has been closed for some days allegedly by orders from the provincial authorities. (From the Sudbury Star) One of Canada‘s mostâ€"travelled misâ€" sionaries, Rev. Dr. J. C. Cochrane, who belps to shepherd the souls of the United Church members in 300,000 square miles cf Northern Ontario and Quebec, says the colourful Yukon "sky pilct" who used both fists and an eloâ€" quent tongue to bring religion to the mining camps, would ‘be a washout in such modern camps as Val d‘Or and Michipicoten. There seems to be a misconceived idea in some quarters that mining cenâ€" tres are necessarily lawless; that those who follow mining must needs be tough, unruly and disorderly. The writer reâ€" members, years ago, on a visit to a southern city, being asked if the miners in the North were "a lawâ€"abiding lot." Perhaps the conception some people have of mining comunities has been acâ€" quired through reading fiction of the early Western United States imining camps and the tales of glamorous exâ€" citement and gunâ€"toting of the Yukon. But even in its earliest days mining in Northern Ontario had no such surâ€" roundings. Miners, in average characâ€" teristics, are little different from the adherents of any other calling. They would justifiably resent any implicaâ€" tion that, taken as a whole, they are less amenable to the laws of the land than any other class of worker. Police Office Opened at Sullivan Mine, Quebec Mr. Cochrane admits that Val d‘Or is "a little bit tough," but that the wideâ€" open town is slowly yielding to the inâ€" fluence of the church. A new detashment of the Abitibi paâ€" trol of the Provincial Police has been cpened at Sullivan Mine, under direcâ€" tion of Eergt. H. Charland, who was {crmerly stationed at Noranda as conâ€" stabkle. Associated with him will be C:nstable J¢hin, of the patrol at Norâ€" asnda, and the detachment, which will be a temporary one for the period of with very satisfactory results. will be under Sergt.

Charland will also be liquor enâ€" forcement officer from O‘Brien to Perâ€" mwn, and has already commenced work, proposal for a technical school to be added to the high school. A petition srigned by 510 ratepayers asked the council not to follow any plan of acâ€" tion that would result in the town losâ€" ing the use of the athletic field. Dr. S. L. Honey, president of the Kiwants and Mr. H. G. Laidlaw appeared before the council to explain the Kiâ€" wanis plan to use the "cyanide" for playground purposes. In April, 1927, judgment was given in the case of Robt. E. Miller, claimant, and Albert W. McDonald, defendant, in regard to claims in Kamiscotia. The case was dismissed with costs. An immediate start was promised ten years ago on the extension of the T. N. 0. north of Cochrane. This time ten years ago The Advance announced that it was likely that a brewery would be established in Timâ€" minsg. W. D. Cuthbertson was the speaker at the Kiwanis Club here ten years ago, giving a very interesting review of Kiâ€" wanis activities, the address being 11â€" lustrated by lantern slides. _ The Timmins branch of the St. John Ambulance Brigade was inspected ten vyears ago, at the Hollinger Recreation Lkall, by Col.

On Saturday, April 9, 1927, the local branch of the Canadian Legion held a banquet in the Empire hotel to celeâ€" brate the anniversary of Vimy Ridge. There were about 200 guests and the menu, like all other features of the evening, was of the best. The speakers for the evening were Rev. Fr. O‘Gorâ€" man, Rev. Ivan Kennedy, Mr. H. C.

Cole spoke on a grant for the Children‘s shelter to be built in Timmins and there was much discussion about cense fees. Harrison. The toast to the comrades who had passed honoured by a minute of silence, and F. J. Hornby sounded the "Last Post." In addition to the addresses there were a number of entertainment features. Solos by George Wihhite of Haileybury, Tom Fisher, E. . Street and others, delighted the gathâ€" ering, while the Gilbert Orchestra, the Band Quartette (Bandsmen Wolno, Demers, Wilford and Hornby), W. A. Devine at the piano, and others in inâ€" strumental numbers added to the pleasure of the evening. The following were the offiters of the Canadian Leâ€" gion in that first year of the branch:â€" President, Dr. S. R. Harrison; viceâ€" presidents, H. C. Garner and Austin Neame; secretary, J. Cameron; treasâ€" urer, J. Callum; executive committee, Messrs. Stroud, Jenkins, Miller, Macâ€" Donald and T. Fellows. The committee In the issue of The Advance ten years ago there was special mention of the meeting of the Lancashire Club. The evening proved a very happy one. The AS.D. Club gave their usual good brand of music and among the specials for the evening was an Old Country waltz, which proved such a success that it was decided to make it a regular feaâ€" ture of the club‘s meetings. Other features specially enjoyed included "The Lancers" and a "Broom Dance." Refreshments were served by the lady members of the club and were much appreciated ‘by those present. Special mention is made in The Adâ€" vance of ten years ago of a band conâ€" cert given by the Timmins Citizens‘ Band in the Goldfields theatre on the Sunday evening after the church serâ€" vices. The selections by the band inâ€" cluded:â€"March, "The Camival King;" overture, "Norma"; selection, "The Festival King." The soloist for tne eveâ€" ring was Mr. Croteau, whose talented presentation of "Friend O‘ Mine" won very hearty encore. A. L. MacDonald‘s selections cn the celestrophone brought much applause. A cornet solo by Bandsâ€" man Carl Johns and selections. by the Band Quartette completed the proâ€" in charge of the banquet included:â€" Dr. Porter, Dr. Weston, Messrs. Morgan, Harris, Hamilton, Devine and Cole. The Advance ten years ago noted that Kirkland Lake also had a noteâ€" worthy Vimy Night banquet. The event at Kirkland was under the auspices of the Kirkland Lake branch of the Canaâ€" dian Legion, and was held at Charlie Chow‘s cafe. There were over a hunâ€" dred present. Among the guests of honâ€" our were:â€"Major Mac Lang, M.P.; Major MacMillan, and the reeve of Teck township. Dr. Cameron, president of the Kirkland Lake Legion, was chairman of the banquet.

The blaze was noticed by J. D. MacLean from the town engineer‘s office, who turned in an alarm to the damage had been done o the house and furnishings. The youngster had his fingers scorthed in his play with matches, and he assured the firemen that he would never again play with fire. The youngster was only six years old. In The Advance ten years ago an acâ€" count is given of a Nellie Lake youngâ€" ster being rather badly burned by lye. The child fourld an old can containing some lye and apparently got some of the stuff in its mouth. The child‘s mouth was badly burned. After being treated at Dr. Days hospital at Conâ€" naught, the child was sent to the Sick Children‘s hospital at Toronto. Horate Brown made a record for carly swimming ten years ago when he took a voluntary dip in the Mattagami river on April 13th. He admitted that the water was very cold, but added that he suffered no ill effects from his imushing the bathing season. Also he said that it was healthful and great fun after the first shock of the cold water. This bathing incident tempted The Advance ten years ago to recall the case of the late Neh Faulkerham, pionâ€" eer of the Northern mining areas, who made a yearâ€"round practice of taking a cold bath each morning. When on the trail in his prospecting trips in the Â¥u d emagin s s n Ki 4 winter, Neh would often cut the ice on small lakes or rivers to get to the water for his morning bath. Coming out of this "bawth," as he himself used to call it in imitation of some English friends he had, Neh was often known to give companions the cold shivers by rolling in the snow "to restore the circulation‘""‘ as he phrased it. Wt oA c\ The Advance ten years ago published an interview with R. F. Segsworth, who had just been elected one of the Dome directors. He spoke of his firm faith in the Dome and its great future. W. Mansfield, of Scthumacher, ‘had a trying experience ten years ago, when crossing Pearl lake. About 25 vards from the shore the ice gave way beneath him and he was thrown into the cold water. As he sought to draw himself out of the water more of the ice would give way. For a time he was in serious danger, but was eventually rescued by C. Jucksch, M. Starr and S. Bonnell, who used poles and a rope to bring him to safety. | $o economical that it actually costs less to own than many cars of lower price Telephone 229 MARSHALLâ€"ECCLESTONE Ltd. in The Advance ten years ago were, the following:â€"*"The mill of 8.

Dixon, 67â€"yearâ€"old war veteran, is resting comfortably in hospital at Sudbury this week because Jack Raye, his partner, made an heroic trek across twenty miles of rotten and treacherous Iice to summon an airplane to his aid. Dixon was lying in the little cabin belonging to the pair at Lake Wahnaâ€" pitae, seriously ill with pneumonia. Fearing that he might die before mediâ€" cal aid could reach him, his partner started out on the dangerous hike, scorning the fact that the safe period for walking across the ice has been brought to an end by the warm breezes and sun of spring. Upon arriving in Sudbury he gave instructions to Pilot Phil Sauve, who himself took a long chance in landing his machine on the ice near the shore, where shelter from the sun had preâ€" vented the ice becoming too rotten to hold the plane‘s weight.
