The blaze had already gained con- siderable headway when it was first discovered by Ned Smith, a resident at the lake. Only the prompt action of the fire depart- ment, which made a record run to the park and had a stream of water on the building in less than six minutes, saved the pavilion from complete destruction. The midnight frolic, which pre- ceded the fire, started at 12.10 Monday morning and was cone cluded more than an hour be- fore the fire was discovered. The blaze is thought to have originat- - ed from a cigarette butt care- lessly thrown near the orchestra platform on the north side of the dance floor. Through the efforts of the fire department, a considerable pore tion of the building was suved, but the city's loss is estimated at $5,000, covered by insurance. Damage to the contents, wpich are owned by Robert Fraser who leases the pavilion from the city, is also estimated at $5,000 par tially covered by insurance. CHARGE CRUELTY: T0 DUNG ANIWALS Magistrate Showed Syme pathy to Man Convict. ed of Offence A man's carless and uninten- tional cruelty toward helpless animals stood out in dark cone trast this morning to the sym- pathetic humaneness of Oshawa's police court. It was another of those little incidents which show that the court is not lacking in sympathy or in charity. Charles Anderson, of 8% Riche mond street east, was chi-ged with cruelty to dumb aaimals arising oul of his efforts to do away with three small kittens, Evidence had been given by Ine spector Orr of the Oshawa Hu- riane Society that the kittens had been found in a garbage pail partially coverrd with ashes. They were still alive and the In- spector had taken them to the round Where they were exterms inated in a humane way. . ._ Although Anderson claimed that he had drowned the kittens before placing them in the gar- bage pail, both Inspector Orr and Chief of Police Friend testified that the kittens' bodies were dry and had apparently not been in water. "I must accept the 2vidence of these two officers and convict you of the offence charged," Magistrate Creighton observed, "I was sure that tie kittens were dead before I put them fin the pail," Anderson replied. "Apparently you are one of those persons who are needless- ly thoughtless in their treatment of dumb animals," Magistrate Creighton said. "In these days people revolt against ill-treat- ment of animals." The court then learned that An- derson has been out of work for some time and-has a family of five children to support. It was then that mercy was shown. A "It would be cruelty toward his wife and children to impose a fine and costs upon this man," Magistrate Creighton ruled. "What's your position in this matter, Inspector Orr?" § Although such action meant the loss of costs for himself and the Humane Society, the inspector generously intimated that the so- ciety would be willing to forege the costs.
