Ten years ago the Timmins Fire Department was notified that there was a fire in the lumber yard of S. Chesney Sons, which is outside the town limits. Chief Borland sent some men and apparatus to assist in fighting the dangerous fire which threatened very serious consequences, At the time there were two or three of the piles of lumber on fire, the flames spreading from one to another very rapidly. The brigade put on a strong fight against the fire and the Ontario Forestry Dept. staff here gave equally fine work. The fire rangers with their pumps and other equipment did remarkably well and showed a regâ€" ular genius in their methods of fire fighting. The Timmins brigade soon had 220 feet of hose in use with There was no regular speaker at the Kiwanis Club Luncheon at the Emâ€" pire Hotel ten years ago, the meeting being given over to a general discusâ€" sion of topics of interest, these topics including the Kiwanis Karnival at the skating rink on July 29th, 30th, and 31. 1929; the annual convention of the Onâ€" tarioâ€"Quebecâ€"Maritime District of the Kiwanis, to be held at Bigwin Inn on Ssept. 8th, 9th and 10th, 1929; and otnâ€" er topics of special interest to Kiwanâ€" is. _A very pleasant half hour was spent by the club members in viewâ€" ing a ‘teries of motion picture scenes around the town and district.

The most strenuous efâ€" forts wore made to dig him out, as large a force of men as possible being put on the work. It was nearly four hours before they were able to get the body free and life was then found to be extinct.

The body was badly deâ€" composed and had been attacked also by some animal or animals,. It was identified by means of the clothing, gun and other accessories.. Bracker has been one of the wellâ€"known men about the carmp for a great many years, and as soon as it was known that he had disappeared, parties were organized to search for him. On Juns 29th two boys were out at his shack and saw a note that Bracker had eviâ€" dently written. They did not, howâ€" ever, realize the seriousness of the import of the note at the time, thinkâ€" ing that the man would return safâ€" ely. On July 5th, the boys visiting the shack in Shaw township again, saw the note once more and seeing that the man had very evidently not reâ€" turned since their first visit, the lads hurried home and informed their moâ€" thers, who promptly sent them to them to the police. Provincial Officer Hartâ€" lieb visited the shack at once and found the note which read:â€""Rheuâ€" matism is too much for me. So goodâ€" bye, everybody." It was felt that the Bracker had suffered considerably with rheumatism and it was felt that the note probably indicated the unfortunâ€" ate man in a fit of despondency and pain had taken his own life. Constable Hartlieb made a search for the missâ€" ing man but was not able to find any track of him. On July l1ith the officer returned to the scene with a search party of nine men. A systematic and thorough search was organized and about 11:30 in the morning the body was found by two of the party restin:2 partly on some logs in the Redstone river about a mile from his shack. The body was almost completely eatâ€" en away. An arm, the left leg and the top half of the head were practically eaten off. Miss Minnie Stevens, one of the popâ€" ular young ladies of the town, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Stevens. The couple were quietly married while away on holiday, Hosts of friends here joined in extending best wishes to the young couple.
