E, Montgomery, IP., last week, in the absence-of Magistrate Atkinson, and was remanded until this week. He will come before Ma- gistrate Atkinson on Thursday of this week, tomorrow. Drakos has worked at various mines in the district. He has also been. employed at Iroquois Falls, and is generally fairly well #hown in the district. He is said to he a Greek, but to have lived in Can- 533 for'several years. According to his story now it appears that he thought there was an easy way to se- ctttte money without working for it. Mr. Morris Issiry, a elothing tra- veller, some ten days ago, fell in with a man on the train, this "friend" pro mising to put him in touch with a whole bunch of clothing orders if he would come with him after getting " the train at Barber's Bay. The two staYted down'the track together, [but had only gone a short distance when the "friend" held up Isshy. A spi- rited 'struggle, ensued, the traveller putting up a lively battle to save his money. Although the "friend" was much the bigger and the sturdier, he found-it necessary to hit Issby over the head with the butt of a revolver before he could relieve the traveller of his valuables. Isshy lost his watch, some $410 in cash and a cheque for over $300.00. The "friend" made good his escape. Issby 'ooald, give a pretty good description of his assail.. ant and eventually the trail led to the tracks of Drakos. Drakos was tinally arrested at a mine back of Matheson. He denied all knowledge of the-mat- ter and had an alibi as to his where- abouts at the time of the crime. The net was drawn closer and closer around him, however, and once he started making admissions, it seemed only a question of patience and per- se*ye.ranee to get the whole facts of [1% case. First, he agreed being at Barber's Bay, then he agreed to show where the $400 was cashed near Ma.. theson. Then he told about the hiding place of the cheque, and it is hoped that the $90.00 still considered miss- ing Will be located. Drakos came be, 'l Last week, alter considerable work an the case, Ofher. R. Allen induced Geo. Drakos to divulge the hiding place of the money taken from the traveller, Mr. Morris ,lsshy, at Bar- ber's Bay the previous week".- Drakos agreed to point' out the place if taken to the mine near Matheson where he was arrested. On Tuesday ()th’cer Allen accordingly took Drakos back to the place and there hidden securely among some rocks where only accident could reveal the treasure, the wad of $400 was found. Drakes, when asked about the $300.00 cheque taken from the traveller, maintained that he had Juss,tlirown it away at Barber's Bay aftei" compgeting the hold-up. The poliee sear ely credited this, but to make sure search was carefully made of the locality where the robbery oc- curred. Nothing was found, and the Hiding Place of Valuables Discovered Only $90.00 Now Missing in Connection with Bold-ap j C At Barber’s Bay. police search continued on the theory tint Drakes had hidden the cheque just as he had hidden the money. He maintained otherwise until after he had been reriianded fl)? trial, but eventually be "eame across" to the extent of saying that if the police min-kl take him back to the mine he would reveal the cheque's hiding place. This week Chief Greer and Officer Allen took Drakes on the trip again and the champ fas duly reco- vered. There is still ll matter of $90 to be accounted for, but up to the minute Drakorstieks to his story that he has told all he knows and that he' was not aware of any more money than that recovered. (Nfieep Allen, with practically nothing to work uporrat first, has made his usual thorough job of Hearing up this hold- up ease, and not only tracing the cul- prit but recovering the "bulk of the money lost.

This picture depicts the value of' per- sonal purity and' the inevitable pen- alty that follows wrong modes of life along certain lines by either men or women. The h rrors following evil courses are agile plain by this pie- ture, while at the same time emphas sis is given to the advantages and the manliness of honourable living. No children under 15 years of age will be allowed in t'he theatre during the screening of this picture which is de- signed as a warning and a protection for young men and women who may be tempted by thoughtlessness or fol- ly to risk the physical, mental and moral ruin of their lives through ignorance of the possible eonsequeneeis of certain of their attitudeg towards life. "The End of the Road" is a picture that has much of interest, but without being in any way a sermon it does point very striking, lessons as to certain outstanding physical and spi- ritual truths.

TH. 6E 724 11 10 11 The Grand Concert given in the Seliumaeher Theatre last night brthe Sehumaeher Churel1 Choir proved a very outstanding success, both from the point of attendance and, from, the view of excellence of the pro- gramme. Space this week is not avail- able to refer in any adequate way to this very pleasing event, but next issue will give a full report. In the meantime, it may be remarked that all concerned deserve sincere congrav tulation on the success in eveny way of the concert last night and the at- tractive program presented.

SCHUMACHER CHOIR GIVE VERY SUCCESSFUL CONCERT As will be noted by the full-page advertisement elsewhere in this issue, Messrs. W. and H. h'inn, innounee the opening of an exclusive ladies' store in Timmins on Thursday, Sept. 29th. This new store will specialize in Dry Goods, Ready-tou/ar, and Footwear for women and children. All the stocks will be new and heught at this season 's prices. The "ereed" of the new store as announced in the advertisement is what would be ex- peeted from the Rinn Brothers. Ser- vice, courtesy, fairness and the hones- ty that inspires mutual eoerfidenee,-- these are what the public will oonfid- ently look for, judging from the knowledge gained of the Rinn Bro- thers during their residence in Tim- mins. For some years past Messrs. W. and H. Rinn have been connected with the Hollinger Stores in respon- sible capacities and have won the es- teem and eonfidenee of the general public. , The new Exclusive Ladies' Store promises to fill a decided need in this town and will no doubt win' and deserve a very large patronage. 4tinn Bros. will open their Exelu- sire Ladies Store at 70' Pine street, opposite the post office, on Thursday morning, Sept. 29th. The building is being remodelled and re-decorated and will make a very handsome and attractive store. The stocks will all be new and bought with the know- ledge of the Rinn Brothers from long experience in’values, qualities find the needs of the purchasing public. All through the diistriet the ladies should make a particular point of visiting this new store for the open- ing on Thursday, Sept. 29th. EXCLUSIVE LADIES STORE OPENING IN TIMMINS work and theories founded on what is probable. Apparently the. Nipissing is doing enough diamond drilling to test out the'"elaims and announce- ments as to results will no doubt be made in due time. In the nwantinh there is toothing definite, except/that the Nipissing is having diamond' drill- ing dune on these claims usually known as the Rochester, and if results bring about the opening of active mining on the property it will mean a very pleasing: addition to the work- ing properties of this end of the Camp. Mueh interest has been excited lo- cally by the diamond {drilling opera- tions now in progress oh both sides of the mad between the railway line and the Hollinger property. The location of the claims to the ordinary man on street suggests that there has "pretty near got to be rich stuff." The work of diamond drilling is being carried on under the auspices of the Nipissing to, of Cobalt, and the feeling natu- rally is that if a corporation like the Nip. get going at active work right in the town, well, it will be a very note- worthy addition to the large activities of this part of the Camp. Perhaps this feeling is responsible for the many stories told of the wonderful results following the work so far,--- that No. 7 or No. 12 Hollinger vein had been picked up and so on. As a matter of' fact, however, there is no- thing known outside of those concern- ed as to the results of the drilling so far and no oifieial announcements.

NAHUM] lllllllltil tlllll AT Ililllilfillill MI?im FORMER POR-OUPINE MAN" TOOK POISON IN MISTAKE Word was received in town last. week that Mr. Tom James, a well- known and popular pioneer of this part of the North Land, was seriously ill in Toronto following the taking of some poison in mistake. Mr. Tom James " a pmspec'tor here in the early days and lived at South Porcup- ine 'for quite a time. No details of the accident to him are available. His brother, Mr. W. James, left here 'on Thursday for Toronto, on learning of the critical illness of his brother. Tlie Acting Deputy of) the Nom. Acting Minister need not throw up his hands in holy horror at the idea of interfering with "private rights." Settlers here know only too well how far from "unprecedented'? is the in- terference with', their "private rights.' The Province seems to have ample legal talent and police force, and ap- parently is anxious to use it; to "in, teri'ere" with the "private rights" of a man as to what and how and when, if ever, he may drink, when and how he shall clear his land, whether he can keep a gun or shoot a bear. The legal talent and the police force have been used to oram-down the throats of the people a regular Men- _nonite Sunday, and even to'interfero with amusements at church bazaars. Why carnot this legal talent and po- lice force be utilized so that the sett- lers might get all they ask or require, --a square deal and a chance to make good. it might be "unpreeedented," but it would be only common sense and fairness to list? the Government's powers of law to see that a large num- her of settlers are not handicapped and pauperized in the name of "pri- vate rights” and in the interests of “high tinanee." In the British mind there are no "private rights" that, run override a square deal. for wood delivered. This eompany had valuable assets and was owned largely by a number of supposedly rich men, yet after stalling off the settlers so far as payment was con- corned for many months the outfit went into some form of voluntary and sanetitied receivership, and the sett- lers were left high and dry and some of them dead broke. In other words, by having to wait for their money, the settlers had been practically finaneing this rich eoneern. and now after many months the settlers are still up against it. It' the company 's assets were sold up, of course. the settlers could be paid, but the shareholders might lose. It' the shareholders didn't want to lose in this way, the, just procedure would seem to be for them to arrange the finances. As it has been, the settlers have been carrying the load. They are still out. To all the settlers it has been a very serious handicap, and to some of them it has meant grinding- poverty. The settlers depend' upon their returns from pulpwood sold to carry them along. This year they have depended in vain. In their diltieulty it was suggested that they plaee the whole matter before the De- partment of Lands & Forests. This department is SUPPOSED to be in- terested in the settlers; this, depart- ment is SUBPOSE-D to look after the interests of the settlers. Aeeordingly the matter was fairly pGeed before the department. It was suggested that the department bring; pressure to hear to right the wrong done the sett- lers, or that the department advance the money, so long due so that the settlers could go in with their pioneer ing: work. The answer received from, the department is what too many sad- ly expected. iRhetoriearly speaking, the department is very sorry for the settlers, but practically the depart- ment does not care a eorrugateds coyotte. . ' It took 'over six weeks to even se- cure an answer to the settler's letter. Last week, however, the answer did come to hand. It is signed by the Acting Deputy Minister who says that the Minister "syrnpathizes with the settlers who find difficulties Qetyt1-. fronting them in connection with their dealings with the pulp and pa- per company, but for the Crown to in- terject itself in a matter that relates to private interests of this kind would be unprecedented." _ Getot'jy seven weeks ugo‘a settler up the river wrote to Hon.
