RIVER CASE file
their ANSWER
Declare Boats Operating on
Mouse River Have Not
Damaged Banks

Minot, N. D.. Aug. 7.-Denials have
been filed by the defendants to
charges made in the action brought
in the district court to enjoin a. num-
Der of persons from operating boats
on the Mouse river above the Great
Northern dam.
Banks Not Damaged,
The defendants, through Attorney
F. B. Lambert, who represents a
number Of the owners of boats, de-
mics that the use of the boats on the
river causes any damage to the
plaintiffs by causing the banks to be
undermined and fall into the river.
and charges that the banks are in
the same condition along the portion
of the river used by the .boats as
they are along that portion of the
channel which is not so used.
Not Owners of Bed. "
The answer charges further that
61e abutting property owners are
not the owners of the bed of the
stream and that because OF this al
legation the defendants are not tres
passers on the rights and property
Of the plaintiffs. 1t is also charged
that the use of the river by the
Great Northern by the construction
Of and maintainence Of its dGSa has
been open and adverse to any rights
Of the plaintiffs for more than %
years and that the plaintiffs have
lost any right of action for the re-
moval of such dam that they might
have had. If they had any at all.
improvements Made.
The defendants allege that in be-
cause of this acquiescence on the
part of the abutting property own
ers and the understanding of the
public as to the free use of the river,
improvements have been made
against which no protest was made
at the time of their erection.

Bleed Fish, and
Better Quality
Anglers Advice

All food fish are better for table
use If bled and killed as soon as
they are caught, declare experienced
anglers. Such practice. too. is far
more humane than to permit the fish
to slowly suffocate in the fisherman's
creel, or die in the boat or on a
stringer.
Al sharp rap with the knife handle
on the back of the head will render
the freshly caught fish unconscious
and usually produces instant death.
To improve the quality of the fish
for table use the knife blade should
then be inserted at the back of the
gills, where there is a large blood
vessel easily severed.
This drains the blood Immediately
from the body Of the FISH, the flesh
remains in better condition and
when cooked and served is free from
the tiny back streaks found in the
unbled fish.
BY inserting the thumb and first
finger through the gills the bleeding
fish can be held under water and
thoroughly washed without danger
Of ID getting away.
The entire process takes but a
minute OF time and from both a
humane and an economic standpoint
is well worth the trouble.

TOO MUCH FOR BULL

Mrs, w, L, TidIand.

Poplar, Mont, Aug. IA giddy,
one piece bathing suit which adorn-
ed the lisome form of Mrs. w. l..
Tidland proved too much for the
Feasibility of a big Durham bull,
heading the government herd here,
which singled her out from a group
of bathers. scattered her compan-
ions, chased her a considerable dis
lance along the river bank, several
times throwing her to the ground
and trampling her, and finally forced
her to take refuge in the roots of a
followed tree. where her friends fin
ally rescued her from her pursuer.
All of the bathers were in the
water when the bull charged, with
his herd at his back, and it Is con-
sidered remarkable that the others
escaped. Mrs. Tidland was uncon-
scious when her friends reached her,
and she has since been confined to
her bed under a doctors care.
