It was the agreeable duty of the Adavance twenty years ago to annâ€" ounce that the danger of forest fires was over forâ€"the season. There had been. all sorts of, wild> and woolly stories in some of the daily newsâ€" papers atbout the buch fires in the North. While these yarmns were all grossly exagerated, <the fact remained that at certain times in the season there had been considerable of a menâ€" anceâ€" from bush fires in the North. In this particular there were several threatening fires, fout dus2 to the good work of the fire rangers the menace had ‘been overcome. South Porcupine had a narrow escape from had: fires through the spread of bush fires back of Connauzht Hill. Timâ€" mins and ‘Schumacher fire brigad>s both sent out contingents to help the Eouth End brigade and through the g6od wark Oof all working together the blaze was kept back from the tciwn until welcome vyains came down and drowned out the menase of the bush flames.

There was little money found on the Russians when the police found their bodies and it mwas {jelieved that the double murder arose from the idea of stealing the morsey held by the two Rassians. Another Russian made his escape from the harn and from all th> trouble. The man arrested at Conâ€" naught was believed to have kncown the actual facts of the shooting. He worked for several firms in the Porcâ€" upine and had an excellent character, none who knew him thinking that he.would have an active part in either robbery or murder.
