Ann is peaceful lake among the
mountains of Jamtland. But a short
while ago an international battle took
place on this lake. An Englishman
named Kennedy, who had rented
certain part of the lake, claimed that
two Swedish boys encroached upon
his territorial right, and he proceeded
to consfiscate their fishing gear. The
two boys followed him to the shore,
pushed him aside and recaptured their
tools. Kennedy had a brother, Admi-
raj Kennedy, and the latter wired
Gov. Wren that his brother had been
seriously assaulted by two men,"
The governor ordered Sheriff Lofgren
to look into the matter, and the boys
will be tried for assault and battery.

Kennedy took their fishing tackle
without sufficient cause. Then the
Englishman will have to prove that
the boys were operating on grounds
rented by him. And this will be the
beginning of the real trouble, for even

tell exactly where the fishing ground
of one farmer has it's beginning and
that of another has its end.
