We Are Interested.
Minnesota is interested in the recent
decision of the supreme court of ILL
nois that the flag law of that state is
invalid, for similar law has been
passed in this state. The court, in
the Illinois case, said that it: believed
the law (Which provided for the pun
ishment of a man for the use. Of the
American flag for advertising pur-
poses) was unconstitutional, not only
as an infringement of the liberties
granted citizens by federal and state
constitutions, but also deprivipg him
of privileges granted him by the same
instruments. The Minnesota flag law
was patterned much after the Illinois
law and went into effect Jan. 1.

shortly after Il happened. A telephone
message was sent TO the North Scran-
ton police station asking for an Off
ser. Patrolman May, the day man,
was unfortunately not on hand. He
had received orders from headquart-
ers to stop a ball game at Richmond
park and was on his way there when
the shooting occurred.
Had he been on his regular beat he
might have succeeded in capturing
Moffatt. AS II was, Mounted officer
Bloch was dispatched to the scene,
but arrived too late to be of any serv-
ice.
1t is thought that Moffatt made for
Clark's Summit, where he could easily
catch a freight going west. 1t is
thought that he may be intercepted
at some of the stations along the road.
All of the witnesses and Lally claim
that Moffatt was not intoxicated and
knew perfectly well what he was doing.
1t appears that about two months
ago Lally received bad stab wound
in his leg from Moffatt. He was laid
up for several weeks by this and has
only been able TO be around lately. He
claimed at the time that the stabbing
was accidental and that he and Moffatt
were only fooling when the affair oc-
Cured.
Yesterdays events tended to
strengthen the suspicion his relatives
had at the time that 1t was not acct
dental. When asked about 1t yester-
day, however. the injured young man
still claimed that the stabbing was the
result of an accident and nothing
more,
