No. 21 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1936 Subscription Rate: $2.00 per year Chief Justice Latchford Loses Cobalt Tax Suit Judgment to Municipality Given at Toronto for $1,142 in Long Standing Dispute The following report af a judg- ment appeared in the Toronto papers at the week-end and con- cerns a case that has been argued in the Supreme Court here, after a long dispute between the par- ties involved.. Jos. A. Legris, K.C., of Haileybury, handled the case for the town ot Cobalt. "Judgment for $1,148 against Chief Justice F. R. Latchford was granted the town of Cobalt by Mr. Justice Makins yesterday. The decision terminated a long drawn-out dispute over assess- ments, with the town claiming unpaid taxes for 1928 to 1932. . "Mr. Justice Makins expressed the opinion that there had beena valid assessment for each of the years in question, except possibly for the year 1929. For that year there was no entry on the assess- ment roll showing date of the de- livery of the notice of assessment. "Defence contentions that F.H. Todd, to whom notices had been sent, was not the agent of the defendant were not accepted by his lordship. 'I must find Todd was recognized as the defendant's agent for such purposes by both, parties to the action.' he said." Following the tragedy at the Lake Shore Mine, Kirkland Lake, in which three men lost their lives on Saturday, the picnic ar- ranged for the mine employees at New Liskeard Beach on Sunday was cancelled.

Premier Ad- elard Godbout, who succeeded Premier L. A. Taschereau a few months ago, and four of his cabi- net were defeated in the contest. There will be no Conservative party in the new Legislature, for the first time in Quebec's political history. A few of the candidates ran as Conservatives, but only those who enlisted under the Un- ion Nationale banner were elect- ed. A vigorous campaign on the part of both main parties brought out a large vote, about the same as the record of more than half a million at the last provincial con- test.

TRAIN BRITAIN'S AIRMEN Busy Sessions Held by Courts at the Week-End Motor Accidents, Theft Charges, Heard by Magistrate; Several Fines Imposed The sessions of Magistrate At- kinson's police court in both Haileybury and Cobalt were par- ticularly busy ones at the past week-end. In the session - here the cases were chiefly the after- math of motor accidents, while in Cobalt there were cases of theft and receiving stolen goods heard. In Haileybury, Lucien Gareau was charged with reckless driv- ing on the Matachewan Road, near Elk Lake, the complainant being Jos. McNally, who stated that the accused, driving a truck loaded with gravel, had forced the McNally vehicle into the ditch. A conviction was regis- tered and Gareau fined $10 and costs, with his permit suspended for a week. Chief W. MacGirr charged S. Caruso with failure to secure a transient traders' license for his fruit storage place on Black- wall Street.

Red River Valley In North Dakota | Not An "Oasis" Statement in Caption Un- der Newspaper Photo The claim that the Red River| Valley, in North Dakota, is a| veritable "oasis" in a desert of drouth, made in the capion under| a harvesting scene shown on The| Haileyburian's picture page last} week, is not true, according to} Mrs. K. M. Stephen, a former| resident of the Valley. That sec-| tion of the Western States has| suffered from the drouth this| year, just as has a wide area, and| is far from having abundant 'creps, Mrs. Stephen says. A let- ter irom her sister, who is still a| resident in Dakota, living 27} miles from Fargo, in the Red| |River Valley, described some of| \the difficulties under which the} farmers there are laboring. They | have had no rain for a long per-|} iod, the fields are brown and even the weeds on the Baadside) have been dried up and killed. The letter stated that on one} farm 46 chickens died from _ the} heat, that there is no shade as} the leaves on the trees have been killed and that the drouth has been the worst in many years | Mrs. Stephen recalled for The} Haileyburian something of what| the country was like when her parents first settled on a farm in} the valley. The prairie grass was} the height of an average person, | houses were few and far between and it was a very trying experi-| ence to attempt to break up a} new farm. There was no drouth,| however, in those days. When) the country was first opened up for settlement provision was} made for reserving a section of lard at regular intervals, so that trees could be planted and a cer-} tai namount of forest could be) raised in time. Even this has} failed them during the present| dry spell, Mrs. Stephen says. | The picture was furnished to} The Haileyburian by a_ well} known firm in Toronto, who sup-| ply news features and illustra-| tions to a long list of papers) throughout Canada. |wild bear on Friday last, Kirkland Lake Mourns Loss of Trapped Miners Crushed by Fall of Rock in Lake Shore Mine on Saturday; Bodies Recovered The town of Kirkland Lake was a place of mourning at the week- end, following the death of three men who were crushed by a rock fall on the 2,700 foot level of the Lake Shore Mine at 12.40 a.m. on Saturday. The fall of rock, ac- cording to the official statement of E. W. Todd, general manager of the mine, was caused by a rock burst, and it took many hours of hard work by other miners before the bodies were recovered. The victims of the tragedy were James Morden, ma- chine runner, Roy Warwick, his helper and Jack Bottrill, shift boss on the level where the fall took place. Morden was a mar- ried man, living in Kirkland Lake with his wife and three children. Warwick, also married, was a native of Perth, and is survived by his widow, his patents and one brother. Bottrill, 25 years old, was single and was a son of Mrs. George Fraser, whose hus- band died of heart failure in No- vember, 1934, at the Sylvanite mine. The remains of both Mor- den and Bottrill were buried in }Kirkland Lake, while Warwick's body was taken to Perth. Nine other men were working near the place where the men were trapped, according to The Northern News' report of the fa- tality. They all managed to es- cape the fall of rock, which filled the tunnel in which the opera- tions were being carried on. Mr. Bottrill the shift boss, had gone to the place to give instructions to Morden and Warwick. <n inquest into the tragedy was called for yesterday evening and it was stated that Mining Inspec- tor W. C. Tower and Crown At- torney J. W. Robinson would be resent. The whole North Country, and especially the mining communi- ties, extend sympathy to Kirk- land Lake. South End Residents Have Fine View of Wild Bear Residents of the south end of Haileybury had a fine view of a when the animal strayed in from its usual haunts. It visited several places before again taking to the bush, but no one apparently tried to either shoot or capture it. This is the first time for some years that a bear has been seen in the town. aos Tee The Week's Weather| Week ending August 18, 1936 | Max. Min.
