city, and he says he is not afraid to
tackle anyone in this section Of the

Those who own launches and run
/ them on the Red river above the dam
in this city, are thinking seriously of
forming ar organization for mutual
protection. They believe that the swim
mers in the waters near the
dam have been doing them a great

other. They will likely hold another
one last Sunday.
