The complainant was a younger woman who said that Mrs. Griffiths had stolen $17.00 from her. She described the money stolen very accurately, even to the odd round twist there would be to the packet of bills from being worn beneath her stocking. When the police used a search warrant and investigated Mrs. Grifiitths. a separate parcel of bills to the amount of $17.00 was found apart from other money in the older wo- man's purse. Mrs. Griffiths denied stealing the money but offered to give it back if the police let her go. William Zolob. a boy of about thir- Mr. and Mrs. Robert C.

While down at the Pine nish picnic grounds the boy found a bunch of dynamite caps. Not realizing what they were or how dangerous these percussion caps can be. the lad started playing with them and experimenting with them. The last thing he tried was holding one of the caps down near his knees and touching a match to thP open end of it. The result was that the cap exploded. Both hands were badly hurt and one of the boy’s knees was also injured. The left knee and the left hand suffered the most. the cap being held by the left hand and against the left knee. “An event is always made of the presentation of prizes for the McIntyre Bowling league at Schumacher,” said The Advance ten years ago. “and this year the affair was bigger and bette than ever. the occasion being also used for the presentation of trophies for the District Bowling and also for the re- cognition of the winning by the Me- Intyre Baseball team of the senior base- ball championship of the North and the R. A. McInnis trophy. The event took place in the McIntyre hall. Schumacher. on Saturday evening last. Sept. 29th. There were fully one hundred in at- tendance and each and all had a very pleasant evening and agreed that the event was the best yet." There was a large attendance ten years ago at the Ladies’ Hollinger Re- creation Basketball teams' dance held in the Hollinger recreation hall. “It is putting it well within the facts.” said The Advance, “to say that all present had a very pleasant time. The Ladies’ Basketball Teams know how to stage social events that from all standpoints are successful and pleasant. The event last Thursday evening was no exception to this rule. being a delightful event in every way to all attending. The music by Tommy Stephens’ orchestra, the re- freshments. and all other features were of the best standards. and the general summing up Of the event would be “a complete success."

When picked up it was feared that his back was broken but later it was found that apart from some bruises and a bad shaking up. his worst injury was a broken ankle.

ONTARIO ed one of the most successful events of its kind every held in the North. The plans made and carried through by Chief Charles Jucksch and his brigade. together with the active oo-operation of the McIntyre Mine and the township of Tisdale officials. including the South Porcupine brigade. fully assured the complete success of the convention in every particular. The work so well done by the officers and men of the Schumacher brigade and the commit- tee in charge left nothing to be desired and deserved special mention. There were about fifty delegates present. no less than fifteen fire departments be- ing represented. The towns represent- ed included Ansonville. Cobalt. Coch- rane. Englehart. Haileybury. Iroquois Falls. Kapuskasing. Kirkland Lake. New Liskeard. Noranda. Rouyn. Schumach- er. South Porcupine. Swastika and Tim- mins. The delegates to the convention were given a hearty official welcome in his own genial way by Mr. C. V. Gal- lagher, reeve of the township of Tis- dale. Among the special guests at the: convention werezâ€"R. N. O. Harrington. of Montreal. president of the Dominion Fire Chiefs' Association: Fire Chief James Armstrong. of Kingston. secre- tary of the Dominion Fire Chiefs‘ As- sociation; Mr. George Thomas. of the American Lafrance C0,. Toronto. Both Chief Harrington and Chief Armstrong addressed the convention in effective way on fire brigade and fire fighting problems. As a mark of appreciation and esteem for these two talented and public-spirited fire fighters the Temis- kaming Firemen's Association unani- mously elected them as life members of the association, a honour which they greatly appreciated. Messrs W. C. Arnott and James Dillon. the official delegates for the Schumacher brigade. were also elected life members. and in view of the success of the convcmion and the fine hospitality of the Schuâ€" macher people. some of the delegates were tempted to propose a similar hon- our for all the officers and committees of the Schumacher brigade. There were many visitors at‘the Ki- wanis luncheon at the Empire hotel ten years ago. these visitors including Ki- wanians and others from outside town; who were here to attend the annual convention of the Temiskaming Fire- men’s Association held at Schumacher.

He was found lying on the floor of his office where he had fallen when overcome. Medical assistance was at once secured and he was taken to his home on Hemlock street. He re- gained consciousness later in the even- ing but has been quite ill since. Some improvement is noted in his condition. however, and there is very general and very sincere wishes from all for his early and complete recovery.” “Messrs M. Greer and Wilfred Salley motored this week from Ottawa to Timmins. making the trip in record time with the old Dodge. Old friends here were de- lighted to greet them again. both in fine health. They intend to make a trip to Quebec where they are interest- ed in some promising claims and they are taking in a gang of men to do work on the property." “Rev.

He had been ill for some time. Death was due to valvular dis- ease of the heart. The late Mr. As- seline was born in Maniwaki, Quebec. and was a lumberman by trade. He had been a resident of Timmins for several years and had many friends who deeply regretted his death. A remarkably large potato was on exhibition ten years ago at The Ad- vance office and attracted much atten- tion and comment. This potato weigh- ed over two pounds, and at that. one knob as large as a small potato in itself had been accidentally knocked off be- {me the big specimen was weighed. The potato was a true North Land Spud. being grown in the garden of Mr. M. Smith, one of the permanent staff of the fire department here. Among the local items in The Ad- vance ten years ago were: ”Mrs. E. V. Watt and daughter. of North Bay. are visiting Mrs. Watt's mother, Mrs. J. Archer. Timmins." “Master Harvey Greer. second son of Mr. and Mrs. M. Greer. now of Ottawa, has been visit- ing friends in Timmins and district."
