I have lots of info for you. My Dad, Jo...Hi Yvonne. I have lots of info for you. My Dad, John Bies, was hopping freights from the west through Hearst in 1930 when he was thrown off the train by CNR policeman Tiggan. He hung around for two days, finally walked 20 miles to Mattice but when waiting to board the train there he was again chased out of town by Tiggan and the Hearst Town police who he referred to as "the long one Desgroselliers".<br /><br />I have been researchig Hearst history for ten years, heve written many stories and have tons of files, including a listing of all the town police from day one in 1922.<br /><br />Your Dad was the fourth town constable from Dec. 19, 1927 to Feb. 20, 1928. Appointed Police Chief from Feb 20, 1928 to Dec, 27, 1934. and again fromAug. 19, 1952 to Feb. 7, 1953.<br /><br />Hope that helps fill in some blanks.
