ee ouoomT HE HAILEYBURIAN For A Bigger And Better Haileybury Vol. 22, No. 16 -- HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 28th, 1927 Young Girl is Third to Fall From Wharf _ The third rescue from~drown- ing at the Haileybury wharf was made on Sunday afternoon last when a young girl about 15 or 16 years of age, who is thought to be a resident of New Liskeard was pulled out of the lake kaming Navigation Company. This girl had walked down one of the deep slips at the outside of _ the wharf and apparently slipped 'Mr. Thompson hearing something unusual, he found her lake. far into the was not off and, clinging to a piece of iron onthe dock timbers with little chance of being able to pull herself With the aid of a who braced himself and "Rolly's" other arm, he managed to reach down, grab the victim, and haul her up onto the wharf. Nothing worse than a wetting was experienced by the girl. It is explained that near bottom of the slips the action of the water when the lake higher has_caused'a green, slimy growth on the timers, which is very slippery. It is undoubtedly by stepping on this that the young lady was precipitated into the lake and it was a fortunate circumstance that there was someone nearby to effect a res- cue. She did not give her name to Mr. Thompson or any of the others who were on the wharf at the time: On Saturday, July 16th, R. Du- chesneau was rescued by H. W. Willis, of North Bay, when a sim- ilar accident, befell him, and on Wednesday last Kenneth Philbin, aged five years, fell in and was fished out by Bruce Jemmett. In both of these cases the rescuer plunged into the lake fully cloth- ed and had to swim in order to bring the persons out. --__ aa Vacant Farm Buildings Lost In Fire of Mysterious Origin| A house and barn on an unoc- cupied farm near Ville were destroyed on night last-by a fire of mysterious Marie Thursday origin. to a Mr. Ranger, who lives the adjoining farm and no cause for the fire has been ascertained. by "Rolly" Thompson, of the Temis- up. companion, held the was The buildings belonged on} ESCAPED PRISONER OF SUDBURY JAIL CAUGHT After spending the past year in comparative freedom, - Michael Laronde, who escaped from the Sudbury jail on July 26th, :|1926, was caught on Saturday at Matheson by Provincial Constab- les Delves and Craik and has been s}returned to the Sudbury district institution to be dealt with there as the officers of the law may see fit. To Constable Delves, of South Porcupine, is said to go the credit for the capture. That officer got wind of the presence of Laronde in the woods near Matheson and when he came to town he was nabbed. He had been convicted and sentenced on a charge of having stolen goods in his possession. The prisoner was brought to Haileybury on Sunday evening and lodged in the district jail, while the Sudbury authorities were notified A turnkey and a provincial policeman arrived in town on Monday and left with the accused on Tuesday. Sa LARGEST HAILSTONES OBSERVED IN YEARS IN TUESDAY'S STORM The largest hailstones that have been seen here in many years made a feature of the elec- trical storm which struck Hail- eybury on Tuesday shortly after noon. One resident declares that he measured a piece of the ice and that it was an inch and a half long by an inch in diameter. A window on the verandah of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Suth- erland, Russell Street, was brok- en in several pieces by the hail and in other sections there was some damage to gardens. The rain which followed the hail fell heavily for an hour and was of great benefit. oe ooo Will Salvage Silver From -Wettlaufer Dump in Lorrain Mr. H. F. Strong has leased the Wettlaufer dump in South Lor- rain and the ore previously taken out of the mine will be salvaged. A party~of men are engaged un- der John Hughes, and the best of the dump will be sorted out and milled. The ore is said to be well worth treating and paying quan- | tities of silver will assuredly be obtained. AFTER YEAR AT LARGE 'To Go 50-50 on Cost | of Highway in Towns i The Ontario government will contribute one-half the cost of the building and maintaining of the northern highway through the organized municipalities, if the recommendation of Mr. C. H. Fullerton, chief of the Northern Development Department, is act- ed on. Mr. Fullerton visited the towns of Cobalt, Haileybury and New Liskeard on Saturday last, and to the heads of the municipa- lities he stated that his recom- mendation would be that the cost be split 50-50 between his depart- ment and the local organizations. For some time efforts have been made to make the govern- ment see the situation from the municipalities' standpoint, and the matter has been taken up with both A. J. Kennedy, M.P.P., and the government engineers in charge of highways. It has been felt that the heavy through traf- fic over the trunk road was im- posing a greater burden on the municipalities than they should be asked to bear, in the matter of upkeep especially, and the streets along which the trunk road runs have been neglected to some ex- tent. This has ben the cause for complaints, many motorists hav- ing been heard to remark that it was easy to tell when you were coming into town by the bumps in the road. With the new arrangement definitely made, a great improve- ment may be looked for in the through streets. This- will be accomplished at a considerable saving to the towns affected and the whole route will, as a result, be put into first class shape. ao Party of Tourists Enjoy Trip on Lake Temiskaming A party of tourists numbering thirteen enjoyed a trip down the lake on the M.S. Keego yesterday and were much impressed with the beauty of the route. They came from various parts of the United States and Southern On- tario and were all making their first trip through the North Coun- try. More and more people are daily finding their way into this district over the new Ferguson highway and all are apparently enjoying themselves to the limit.

On Monday afternoon, a boy and a-bicycle went into the lake off the end of the dock. In this case there was apparently little danger of any loss of life, as the boy was a swimmer and was easily able to get out. The bicycle went to the bottom and was later fished out by Captain Burns of the M.S. Keego, with the aid of a grappling iron on the end of a rope. The boy, it is stated by those who were present on the wharf at the time, was one of the bell- beys at Hotel Haileybury. There are four of these on duty throug- hout the day and all denied that they had fallen in the lake or that they had been on the wharf at the time. However, the men at the wharf state positively that it was one of these boys. The boy is thought to have struck against a rope that was used to tie up a motor boat at the outside of the wharf. This caused him to lose his balance on the edge of the dock with the re- sult that he went in head first. He had no difficulty in getting out, simply swimming to the dock and climbing up. He told the men that he had not touched the bottom. The wheel was fished out without much difficulty and neither boy or bicycle suffered any injury.

The bumper of the car was stove in and one mud guard slightly bent, but other- wise it was not damaged and was driven home after it had been pulled out of the ditch by a wrecking crew from Lambs' gar- age. The accident occurred at the point in West Cobalt where the highway turns into the Latch- ||ford Road. Mr. McAulay was given first aid at the Mines Hospital, Cobalt after which he was able to come home, his brother, Mr. Angus McAulay, of North Cobalt, driv- ing the car. He makes light of the broken ribs as he says that happens to him about once a year but the bruises to his chest are very painful and he will probably be confined to the house for some time. Decoration Services to be Held by Oddfellows' Lodges Decoration services will be held by the Oddfellows' Lodges of New Liskeard, Cobalt and Hail- eybury during the next -month, when the brethren will hold the annual ceremonies at the grave- side of the deceased members of the Order.
