TO Dam
ARROWWOOD LAKE

Kensal, N. D., March 31.-Arrange-
ments are being made to place a dam
at the lower end of ArrowWood lake.
near this place. The lake is a summer
resort for his section of the state
and many residents of this part of
the state spend a part Of each summer
on its shores. The water is rather
shallow and in order to make the lake
deeper it is proposed to construct a
three-foot dam. This will not food
more than a few acres Of pasture and
hay land. 1t will practically double
the value Of the lake as a summer
resort as boats can then be operated
for much greater distances and fish
will survive through the winter.
The state fish board faVors the
proposition provided the residents Of
Kensal will assume any damages that
may result from back water from the
dam. There are many fish now in the
lake and new varieties will be sent
from the state hatchery provided the
dam is constructed. The greater part
of the lake is surrounded by. high
banks and the amount Of land that
would be @$aooded is comparatively
small.

The additional information received

HEART BALM
TO CANDO WOMAN

district court at Cando, a verdict was
yesterday returned for the plaintiff in
the breach Of promise action entitled
Anna Booren against George Z, Nc
Williams. awarding the woman $12,-
600 for the failure of the defendant to
follow the prompting Of Cupid.
The action, which at the present
term of Towner county court was
tried before Judge c. w. Buttz. is in
many respects one of the most famous
ever taken through the courts Of
North Dakota. Two years ago it was
tried at Cando before Judge John f.
Cowan, when a verdict in the sum Of
$4,000 was returned in favor Of the
woman The case was appealed to the
supreme court where a reversal was
secured and a new trial ordered.
The main point in the appeal hinged
on whether the testimony Of a physi-
clan who attended the plaintiff during
childbirth, could be introduced by the
defendant. Judge Cowan, at the first
trial, in ADDRESSING counsel. remarked
as a physician NJ then act as a de-
tective right stright through" This,
with other remarks, a termed high
ly prejudicial to the defendant. The
court, in a dissenting opinion,
held that the conversation between the
plaintiff and the physician. on a third
visit, when he declared he was not
acting as a medical attendant. was
not privileged; that it was not in
formation secured by the physician to
enable him to prescribe.
The defendant in the case is a
wealthy Towner county farmer, said
to be worth $4,000. The plaintiff in
the case was for a time employed as
domestic on his place. Since the first
trial she has married another man.
