Mason City, July 1.-THE famous
Day will cases are in a fair way of be-
ing settled out of court.
Negotiations are, on for the settles
ment of all the cases now in court
in connection with the estate of the
latte Henry Day If this settlement
is accomplished it will end long
series of cases which have been tried
in the district court in connection
with this case and which because Of
the great and we'll known property
interests involved and because the
late Henry Day was so widely known
in this vicinity has attracted more
widespread interest than perhaps any
matter which has come UP for trial
in the district court for many years.
The rather romantic history Of the
family and especially Henry Day and
Hattie Day Ogden also increased the
interest of the general public in this
litigation.
After the death of Henry Day con-
test of his will which had left near
ly all his property to Hattie Day Og-
den was made by many relatives from
the east This was settled by Mrs.
Ogden by the payment of a sum of
approximately $4,000. Hattie Day
Ogden in turn left nearly all Of the
property in Minnie Mccall Pierce and
Edna Pierce Leyden. Her will was
in turn contested, but the jury de-
cided that it was her last will and
testament. A motion for a new trial
was overruled. That was last fall.
This spring two brothers of the late
Henry Day brought suit to break his
will The jury decided against these
contestants but a motion for a new
trial was granted. by the court. If
a settlement is reached, this case as
we'll as all others connected with the
estate will be ended.
The best known piece of property
involved in this mass of litigation is
the Yellow Spot corner at the corner
of State and Main streets.

The following is clipped from a

81 Bennett had his first chance to
perform on comparatively dry field.
Twice he beat out dinky hits along
the third base line. There is nc
question but that Russ Hall has
picked up a wonder. He simply
out-classes Donovan, who played

Pleased at Our Farm Lands.

J. P. Peterson, one of the well-to
do residents of the southern part of
the state, is one of the latest con-
verts to the fact that northern Min
nesota farming lands are a very
desirable asset, and that agricultural
pursuits are bound to be successful
in these parts.
Mr.. Peterson made visit to Be.
midi recently and was taken about
the country by ]. J. Opsahl. He
visited the country in the vicinity
of the dam which is being placed
in the Mississippi river, east of Be
midi, and also other points near
Bemidji.
Mr.. Opsahl received letter yes.

the latter expressed himself as hav.
ing been greatly pleased and sur
prised at the really good land that
he saw, and that he intended to
bring his wife and spend several
weeks here this summer.

the pike bit" with avidity: and
there is no reason but to believe that
the fishing this season will be as
good as any other season of late.
The fish have been protected, and
local fishermen are good observers
of the fish laws of the state.
Two of the favorite fishing grounds
hereabouts are on Lake Irving, near
the old log hoist, on the west side,
and on Lake Bemidji, about an eighth
of mile due east of Diamond
Point" Many fine catches of fish
have been made at these points, and
the places seem to be ideal, especially
for pike.
The local fishermen are pleased at
the action of the State Game and
Fish commission in sending black
bass with which to replenish Lake
Bemidji. Last winter Sam Fuller.
ton, superintendent of fisheries for
the Game and Fish Commission,
sent twenty cans of fine, large young
bass, which were placed at advant:
agous points about Lake Bemidji,
under the direction of A. C. Rut
ledge, local game warden. The
development of these fish in the big
lake will be watched with interest
as some anglers are of the opinion
that they cannot survive the depre
dations of the pickeral, with which
the lake is over-populated. How
ever, as the bass were large, healthy
fellows, they were able to put up a
fine battle against the sharks of the
northern waters.

GOVERNOR JOHNSON is
FACTOR IN NOMINATION
F. B. Lynch Talks to Prominent Wash
ington People, and Tells Of the
Governors Popularity.

Washington, May IF. B.Lynch,
the manager of Governor Johnson's
candidacy, arrived in Washington
today and busted himself comforting
with Democratic senator's, con-
gressmen and politicians.
Mr.. Lynch says that he has
figures to show that Governor John
son is the second choice of a large
number of delegates who have been
elected to the Denver convention.
He further claims that the New
York and New England delegations
which have been chosen without
instructions will align themselves
with Governor Johnson. Further
more, Mr.. Lynch is of the opinion
that the southern states which
usually followed the lead of New
York will get into line for the
Minnesota Governor.
A statement furnished today by a
prominent Democrat shows that
there are already 158 uninstructed
delegates to the national Democratic
| convention. This is considerably
| more than one. third of the total
| number of delegates chosen.
Mr.. Lynch is diplomatic and is
careful not to say anything against
Bryan. He realizes that even should
the convention contain enough
delegates to prevent Bryan's nomi-
nation that the Nebraskan's follow
ing will be sufficiently strong to
dictate the nomination. Mr.. Lynch
ventures the prediction that Min
nesota will send a solid johnson
delegation.
