SSS McGillivray, R. 299 Jan. 31 * ae E HAILEYBURIAN Vol. 27; No. 1 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, APRIL 9th, 1931 Subscription Rate: $2.00 per yeat Tae Youths to With Entering Stores Here be Charged Liskeard Boys Now Held at Ville Marie Are Believed the Guilty Parties; Goods Found in Their Possession Have Been Identified as Missing in Haileybury se Se Wesley Poquette, aged 17, and Hector Gagnon, 16, both of New Liskeard, are believed to be the parties who broke into a number of stores in Haileybury on the night of March 27th last, accord- ing to Chief of Police MacGirr. Poquette has been on suspended sentence during the past year on a similar charge, while his com- panion, so far as the police here know, is a first offender. The two were arrested in North Tem- iskaming late last week after one or two stores there had been en- tered, and taken to Ville Marie, where they appeared before the magistrate on Tuesday, being re- manded for trial by a higher court. When the two youths were ar- rested and searched by Chief Tremblay, of Ville Marie, some of the goods in their possession were thought to be from the loc- al stores. The articles were sent to Chief Miller, of New Liskeard who handed them over to Chief MacGirr and Provincial Constable Allsopp, both of whom have been working on the meagre clues left by the burglars here. The goods have now been identified by the owners and the officers are quite confident that the two youths are the guilty parties. Until their case is disposed of in Quebec, nothing can be done by the authorities here towards formally accusing these boys of the local burglaries, but the pol- ice will keep in touch with the case and will act when the oppor- tunity offers. Knowing the record of the old- er boy, both Constable Allsopp _and Chief MacGirr were inclined to connect him with the breaking into stores here, but until the ar- rest of the two after their esca- es in North Temiskaming, little evidknce The late Dr. J. M. Casserly, a well known physician and a cor- oner in the city of Toronto, who died last week, was well known to many residents of this district. He spent a summer before his graduation as assistant to the resident doctor at Charlton and had visited the North at different times. Doctor Casserly was a brother of Mrs. Charlebois, who for many years was a teacher in Hailey- bury and Cobalt schools and two of his nieces also were teachers in this district. Accounts of his life in Toronto appearing in the daily papers speak in terms of great praise for his faithful ser- vice among the sick and his prominence in public affairs. Many friends of Mrs. Charlebois will regret her bereavement and extend their sympathy. RESIGNS POST Neville Chamberlain, prominent member of the British Conservat- ive Party, who for the past year has been Organizing Secretary for his party, has resigned. He claims the object of taking that office a year ago, getting unity and good will im the party, has been accomplished. ANNUAL EASTER DANCE OF I.0.D.E. IS CALLED MOST PLEASANT EVENT One of the most pleasant events in the history of the I.O.D.E. in Haileybury was the way the an- nual Easter dance, held on Mon- day evening in Hotel Haileybury by that organization, was des- cribed by many of those who at- tended and thoroughly enjoyed 0 work|p th jothing marred the da d 0 the gen- eral enjoyment. While the card games were finished at a com- paratively early hour, the danc-~ ing continued for some time after wards. There was a large attendance, probably larger than is usual at this annual event, which donates the popularity of the entertain- ments provided by the ladies of the local Chapter. The ladies are to be congratulated on the success met with and, from their record of good deeds in Hailey- bury, everyone knows that the proceeds will be applied where they are most needed. --_------__------_ All operating permits, issued for logging, mining or industrial operations in the Ontario woods, must be renewed before the end of the present month. th al } te ies ait ie ait iinet att ttle lila .

Canadian Legion Seeks Increase In Membership Local pea en in Effort To Add 10,000 Members Throughout Ontario During the month of April the Canadian Legion of the B.E.S.L., in Ontario will put forth a Pro- vincial-wide effort to add 10,000 new members to its 'strength. The Haileybury Branch is taking an active part in the campaign and has set as. the local objective 150, which is based on an estim- ate of 5 per cent. of the popula- tion of the territory covered by this branch. Brought into existence over five years ago as a result of Field Marshal Earl Haig's per- sonal appeal for unity to the sev- eral. conflicting organizations, the Canadian Legion has contin- ued to expand until today it has a membership of some 90,000 comprised of 900 Branches throughout Canada, as well as Branches in the United States, West Indies, and France. After making due allowance for the deaths on active service and de- pletion of ranks through deaths and other causes since the Arm- istice, it is estimated that the strength of the Legion should ev- entually be three times the pres- ent number. The Ontario Mem- bership Campaign in April is the first step in Ontario towards this greater objective. Officers of the Legion point out that the service work of the organization has been rendered freely to all veterans without dis- tinction of membership. _Legis- lative benefits secured by the Legion have been to the advant- age of the whole war veteran body. -- It is felt that the respon- sibility of this highly important work should be borne equally by all veterans. At the same time the privilege of participating in e extensive and varied program| well Classes For Prospectors Open in Haileybury Today Prospectors' classes under the auspices of the Ontario Depart- ment of Mines open today in Hotel Haileybury and will con- tinue for eight days. Dr. E. M. Burwash is again in charge of these classes and the usual in- struction in elementary geology and chemistry will be given, with special attention paid to the prac- tical identification of minerals. There will also be illustrated lectures in the evenings. The classes are conducted free of all charge for the benefit of pros- pectors and mining men gener- ally: [Local Man Will | Build Addition to Separate School J. P. Vachon Given Contract By School Board; Four Tenders Received J. P. Vachon, Haileybury con- tractor, was awarded the contract for the building of the addition to the Separate School, when the Board met on Monday night to consider. the tenders. These had been called to close on March 25, but it was found at that time that those submitted were consider- ably nigher than the original es- timate of $15,000 and some revis- ion of the plans was necessary. The price at which the contract was finally let to Mr. Vachon is approximately $16.500. There were four tenders re- ceived and considered by the School Board. These were from Hill, Clark, Francis-Limited, New Liskeard, A. Vincent, Jos. Isher- wood and J. P. Vachon, of Hail- eybury. The work is to com- mence as early as_ possible and will be rushed to completion. The new building, which will be in connection with the present school building on Rorke Avenue will stand at the northwest cor- ner of that structure. It will be two stories high with dimensions of 40 by 43 feet, and will provide two class rooms, thus accommo- dating the pupils who have been taught in the K. of C. Hall for the past few years. The building will project past the north end of the present school a_ sufficient distance to permit of the entrance and will conform in all respects to the present school. The cost of the new building will be provided for by the issu- ing of debentures by the Separate chool Board, a by-law giving that body the necessary authority having recently been passed. Mr. Vachon will carry on all the work on the addition with the excep- tion of the plumbing, heating, ing and plastering, which will let. ; Still Pushing Wes That the expedition © which started last fall to blaze a trail by motor across the continent on an all-Canada route is still push- ing westward is made evident by the following despatch from Port Arthur to the Ottawa Journal on Monday : "Gus McManus, who is endeay- oring to drive a motor car across Canada and who has been in the Hearst-Nipigon area since last fall, has driven across Lake Nipi- gon to Port McDiarmid. Leav- ing the car there he walked 30 miles on snow shoes to Hydro, picking out the route for his next overland attempt which would put him on the road to Nipigon and Port Arthur. ANOTHER PROMINENT OTTAWA STRUCTURE DESTROYED BY FIRE This picture shows the City Hall, Ottawa, after it had been de- stroyed by fire. This fine old structure was built fifty-seven 'years ago, and it is figured that the damage was approximately $100,000. At the close of yesterday af- ternoon's session of the Supreme Court here, the trial. of Kalle Olimaki, Finnish woodcutter tion with the in which a knife or some sharp instrument was used, had not reached the end of the prosecu- tion, although several witnesses had been examined. The court adjourned until 9.30 a.m. today and the jury was forced to spend the night under guard. Mr. Jus- tice Garrow is presiding at the Assizes and special Crown Prose- cutor W. S. Haney, of Sarnia, is conducting the prosecution. Geo. Mitchell, K.C., is the counsel for the accused. The opening session of the court on Wednesday was largely taken up with the selection of a jury and the hearing of medical testimony in connection with the death of the victim, which took place in the Red Cross Hospital at Englehart on June 20th, the day following the affray at the camp. Dr. W. M. Martyn who was called when the injured man was brought to the town, was the first witness and his testim- ony was chiefly a repitigion of that given at the inquest'and at the previous trial. He was close- ly questioned, and on account of the present state of his health, appeared to have some difficulty in going through the ordeal of cross examination. The main point brought out by Mr. Mitchel appeared to be that the wound which caused death, and which had been previously described by the witness as of a rectangular nature, was a jagged wound". Dr. R. P. Smith, also of Engle- hart, who had been called into consultation by Dr. Martyn of June 20th and who had perform- ed an operation in an effort to save the man's life, told of the measures that had been taken in at 3 is respect. , He stated that the operation was the only means to take and that, after a blood tran- sfusion had been given, the pa- tient had gained strenth. Dr. Smith, who had seen service overseas during the great war, told the jury that in cases of ab- dominal wounds of a penetrating nature 99 out of 100 die. The doctor also stated that in his opinion the operation should have been performed the evening before. a Roy Wilder, Englehart, gave evidence of driving the accused back to camp on the evening of the fight. He said he saw the victim, Pukki, strike Olimaki, but could not give details of the scrap. Velpas Heitaniemi, one of the workers who left the camp with Olimaki, swore that he had seen a file in the hands of one Eino Mantynen, who had been with the victim of the affair during the fight. ing that he had had his arm a- bout the latter's shoulder, but they did not see any weapon. The foreman ot the Peter Pulkinen, described what he had seen of the affair, and several other witnesses gave evi- dence, the whole of which was practically the same nature as that given at the previous trial. The trend of the cross-examin- ation by defence counsel would lead to the belief that an attempt is heing made to show that the camp, Other witnesses had seen Man-|}, tynen close by Pukki, one stat-|; Charge of. Murder Being Heard in Supreme Court Finlander on Trial for Second Time Following Death of Fellow Worker Last Summer; Knife Was Used in Drunken Brawl at Pulpwood Camp; Last Jury Disagreed fatal blow was not struck by the accused. When the court adjourned yes- terday evening, there were still charged with murder in connec-| several crown witnesses to be death of Kalle heard before the case for the de- Pukki, following a drunken brawl lfence could commence. As there are two other criminal cases to be heard, besides several civil actions, it appears that the As- sizes will be of unusual length. WANTED TO GO HOME FOR THE NIGHT WHILE SERVING ON A JURY The belief of one juryman, ser- ving at the trial of the murder charge being heard at the assizes here, that he could go home for the night probably prevented the court from holding a night ses- sion last night. At about 6 p.m., when the proceedings were at their height, His Lordship asked the jury whether they wished to continue during the evening, after an adjournment for supper, and one member from the country immediately negatived the idea. When the court adjourned, he was all ready to leave when of- ficials interfered. The 12 men, among whom are three Hailey- burians, were compelled to spend the night in the court house, where they were well looked after. They were taken under escort for a Stroll during the ev- ening. ------ JUDGE LIKES DISTRICT AS ACCOMMODATION IS ALWAYS SATISFACTORY Mr. Justice Garrow, who is presiding at the Supreme Court assizes here this week, paid a compliment to the District of Temiskaming when the court opened on Tuesday afternoon. At the conclusion of his address to the grand jury, His Lordship re- marked that, while it was their duty to visit all public buildings and make what recommendations they saw fit, there was likely to be little to complain of. Person- ally, he said, he was always glad to come to this district, as the accommodations "were so much better than in many older parts of the province." His Lordship said that it was of great importance that grand juries should be called at inter- vals. They were a part of the ad- ministration of justice and per- formed valuable duties, he said. eens Trouble between the Chief of Police at Cochrane and one of his staff was the subject of an inves- tigation by the town council last week, with the result that the council recinded its decision to discharge the constable.
