longing to a resident of ST. Johns,

The novel and unique entertain
rent given by the Junior League of
the NJ. +. church, under the direc-
ton of Miss May Shepard, at Bick-

a most successful affair. The

such as trainmaster, conductors,
bagageman, newsboys, peanut
stands and lunch counters. Even
the noise and hustle so common OH
the arrival and departure of trains
was not missing. A large crowd
was present and enjoyed this novel

was ingenously planned and carried
out.

MALMQUIST
WILL FIGHT
Asked That the Injunction
Against Him Be Dissolved
Law Suits Threatened

John Malmquist, the Turtle
River township homesteader
against whom a temporary in.
junction restraining him from
blowing up the dam Of Blakely &
Farley near Pemush lake was
recently granted by order Of
Judge Spooner, today filed an
answer through his attorney,
Henry Funkley, which asks that
the injunction be dissolved and
also alleges that he had never
harbored any intention of blow
ing up the dam. He also claims
damages for the costs Of fighting
the injunction.
Blakely & Farley admit in their
application for an injunction
restraining Malmquist from
blowing up the dam that the
structure was built in 1901 and
that it has been maintained ever
since for the purpose of driving
logs down the east fork of the
Turtle river. tits claimed by
some half dozen homesteaders
who own land AUDITING the river
that their lands have been
overaowed as a result of a
raise in the river of four
feet above the high water
mark and considerable damage
has occurred. It is very probable
that a number of fowage cases
will be instituted against Blakely
& Farley to collect damages for
the losses claimed to have been
sustained by the farmers.
