He is at present in the Municipal Hosiptal with a com- pound fracture of his right leg: his horse is dead and the wagon badly smashed. It was when Zanin had left his horse and wagon in front of W. Fauvelle's store on Lang Street. that the trouble started. A car going north struck the wagon and the horse bolted, but stopped a few minutes later when it came in contact with H. Fancy's car. Mr. Fancy had pulled to the side of the street to let another car pass and Zanin was attempting to unhitch the horse from the damaged wagon when another car driven south by William Con- roy of Cobalt, crashed into the Hope Fading In Search of Bush for Dan Willans Missing Since August 25th in Lightning River Area; Fear Drowning Hope that he will be found alive is fading in the minds of friends of Dan Willans,. well known prospector who, for many years made his home in Haileybury and who, according to latest reports, has not been seen since about Au- gust 25th last. He had been pros- pecting in the Lightning River area, a district that he knew well, and there was no alarm raised over his continued absence until a week or 10 days ago, when it was made known through a close friend, William Dillabough, that no one had seen him for several weeks. it has been learned that Mr. Willans was staying in a camp belonging to Dillabough and that he had left about the end of Au- gust, but no one appeared to have béen advised of where he intend- ed going, although it has been established by officers of the pro- vincial police force that he plan- ned to return to Haileybury early in September. He was not in the best of health this year, accord- ing to close friends here, and it is feared that he may have been overcome with illness while on the trail.

The trail to the cabin of Dillabough leads over this stream the inspector said, and a spruce tree had been felled some time ago to form a footbridge. It was thought possible that the missing man had fallen from this while at- tempting to cross the river.

He was being brcught south to Haileybury on the first leg of his trip to the Ontario Reformatory, along with other prisoners, under escort ofa sheriff's officer from Cochrane, when he asked permission to speak to his wife at the junction. This was granted, as Mrs. Roy was to return to Timmins and a change in trains had to be made, but when train time came Roy was missing. A search was in- stituted immediately and provin- cial and municipal police at all points nearby notified. Roy was convicted when evi- dence was given to show that he had offered two ten-dollar bills to Provincial Constable J. Pretorius as a bribe when arrested on a charge of keeping a blind pig in Timmins. His excuse was that the bills had stuck to his fingers when he took his hands fromm his pockets to shake hands with the constable. - Latest reports yesterday were to the effect that the missing man had not been located, but the search was being continued. |Opened Doors of Loaded Car and Spilled Contents Looked Like Hallowe'en Trick When Tailings Scattered on Railway Siding Something in the nature of a Hallowe'en trick; a bit ahead of time, occurred on a siding of the T. & N.O. Railway near Mileage 104, on Tuesday night, when the trap doors on the bottom of a coal car loaded with tailings from, one of the old mining oper- ations were thrown open and the miterial allowed to run out on the tracks. There. were\some 40 tons of the material in the car, it was estimated by officials of Co- balt Properties Limited, the con- cern which is shipping the tail- ings to the Noranda smelter. It had been planned to add a few more truck loads and ship the car yesterday. Chief of Police Miller of Cobalt and Provincial Constable R. O. Stromberg were notified of the occurrence and are conducting an inevstigation, it was stated at provincial headquarters here. The material, in which there is a certain' amount of silver and cobalt ore, cannot be handled at the company's Cobalt plant on account of some nails and other old metal in its content, so it is being shipped to Noranda. This was the first time that any shipment had been interfered with and both company officials and police are at a loss to find any reason for the occurrence. As the car was on a siding there was no blocking of the main line of the railway, but the event proved a handicap to the shippers of the material. -- "Pants Burglar" Visits Sleeping Camp at Latchford Provincial police headquarters here was notified on Tuesday that a 'pants burglar" had paid a visit to a sleeping camp at Latchford, where the clothes of a number of the men were rifled while they slept and various amounts of money taken. No definite esti- mate of the loss had been made |yesterday, according to police of- ficers, who were without any defmite clue to the identity of the thief. ed Ernest Lindsay, of Callander, was arrested last week in a case of mistaken identity. It was be- lieved that he was one Leon Han- ley. who escaped from jail at L'Orignal in 1918, but on being taken there his identity could not be established and he was releas- ed. Now he is contemplating a suit for damages against the authorities. pe ee The Week's Weather | Week ending Oct. 20th, 1936 A note for your memorandum pad: Buy Christmas Seals. Max. Min.
