plause of the meeting. The mem-
bers were particularly pleased to
have this opportunity of show-

thusiasm and loyalty.

been among them and hoped it
would be continued throughout

Vernet, assisted by Canon Rix,

and in the course of the service
the Bishop gave a short but in-
teresting address on the Awak-
ening of China.

OFF ON A JAMBOREE
LOST HUNDRED BUCKS

Railway Camp Cook Found Ru-
pert a Good Place to Drop
His Wad

Thomas Richmond is a cook
at D. A. Rankin’s contract near
Burns Lake. He came down last
Thursday for a holiday and Fri-
day morning he started out on a
jamboree with $375 in his
pocket. That evening he ended
up with $1.40 and a complaint to
the police that he had been
touched.

Richmond left $200
Savoy barkeeper

with the
and then bought
several bottles of wine for a
number of friends he had met.
He also hired an automobile and
scatlered some $50 among ns
residents of Comox.

In the afternoon he landed at
the Empress, where he says he
was put to bed by a couple of
alleged friends. He woke up to
find himself being rolled by Wil-
liam George, according to his
evidence.

George, he claims, took $100
out of his pocket book. He saw
him do it. Then he jumped out
of bed, got to the door and told
George to stay quiet until he
called an foficer, or he would
“knock his block off.”

While he was holding the door
calling for an officer the man
ager of the hotel and a man
named Ross appeared. The lat-
ter, he says, knocked him down
and choked him.

Then Richmond laid the com-
plaint to the police. He gave his
evidence in court this morning.

The case was adjourned to al-
low George to get counsel. It
will come up tomorrow again.

Mike Pieri, an Italian, was

"JANDERSON SUICIDES

ON WAY TO ASYLUM

Was in Chatge of Provincial Po-
lice—Jumped Off Prince
Rupert

Anderson, a Swedish
man, jumped over the
Prince Rupert on Saturday when
the steamer was fof Point At-
kinson. He was drowned.
Anderson was demented, Some

Axtel
laboring

time ago he disappeared from
his work up the line and was
later located wandering ®round

Inverness. Ten days ago he was
brought to the city jail, where he
was examined by Dr. Tremayne
and declared insane. He was
committed to the New Westmin-

ster asylum, and Constable Doo-
fittie tefl with him on Friday
morning.

While lodged in jail here An-
derson twice attempted suicide.
Once he was caught choking
himself with a cord around his
neck. Aneother time the other
prisoners gave the alarm that
the man was trying to choke him-
self with a handkerchief.

A despatch from the Prinee
Rupert stated that Anderson had
shortly after four o'clock on Sat-
urday afternoon crawled through
a porthole to. the upper deck and
then jumped overboard. The
alarm was instantly given and
life preservers thrown him, but
although oné fell right beside
him, he refused to grab it.

The body sank before a boat
could be lowered.

BIG METEOR FALLS
INTO MASSETT INLET

Made Violent Commotion in the
Water but No Damage
Resulted

A blazing meteor, with a tail
of fire several yards long, drop-
ped from the heavens into Mas-
sett Inlet between 9 and 10
o’clock yesterday morning. .The
celestial visitor was seen by a
large number of people, but only
for a fraction of a second. It
was going some in its descent,
and probably weighed many tons.
It fell into the inlet at a point
near the old wharf, west of the
Massett sawmill, and its impact

with the mater made a tremen-
dous noise, huge columns of
water shooting up on all sides.
Some eye witnesses aver that
just before it struck the water
the meteor burst into small
particles. As the water is quite

deep at that point it is unlikely
that any dredging operations
will be undertaken to secure
portions of the meteor.

It is said that the fall of me-
teors in the north igs a very un-
usual occurrence, although fre-
quent enough in southern elimes.
The tropical winter Graham
Island is now enjoying may have
had something to do with the
visit.—Massett Leader.

 

Smithers Won

Saturday night there was an-
other mateh in the up-river noc-
key league. Smithers played in
Old Hezelton and beat the boys
of that place 9 to 0. A fair crowd

teams.
