today by the u S. supreme court. In
addition to sustaining the injunction

was nothing in the proceedings to
show that the Associated Press had
"unclean hands," this in response to
the defendants contention that the
petitioner had been guilty OF similar
practices.

AIR HOLE IN
RIVER GRAVE
FOR FARMER
Nels Nelson Drops Into Icy Wa
ters While Seeking for Lost
Team of Horses.
BOY NARROWLY ESCAPES

Washburn, N. D., Dec. 24.-While
wandering about on the ice covering
the Missouri river, searching for his
team, which he had lost in fog, Nels
Nelson, prosperous farmer Of Conk-
link, few miles west of Washburn,
fell through an air-hole Friday even
Ing and was swept away by the swift
current before two neighbors who
were with him could rescue him.
There is little hope that the body ev.
er will be recovered. A son of Thom-
as Thompson, who with Henry Dahl
was with Nelson at the time of the
tragedy, fell into the same hole, but
one foot clung to the safe ice long
enough to permit his father to seize
it and drag the boy to safety.
Nels Nelson had started out about
S O'clock with his team for Fort
Clark, across the river, but he lost
his way in dense mist and wandered
about on the ice for four hours. Dur
ing this time he tied up his team,
making his way ahead on foot. Fin
ally he saw light for which he made,
thinking 1t to be the town of Stanton,
on the west side of the river He
found. instead, that it came from a
neighbor's house. Here Henry Dahl,
Thomas Thompson and the latter's
son Joined MIR. Nelson in a search for
his team, which were tethered some
where in the woods on one bank or the
other. During this search Nelson,
without a sound or a moments warn
ing. dropped from sight in an air-hole.
It was pitch dark at this time. the
swift current had dragged the drown
ed mans body far under the ice, and
further search was out of the ques-
ton. Dahl and Thompson therefore
returned home with the latter's son,
who was soaked and dripping.
Nels Nelson was about 35 years old
and was single. He came to Mclean
county six years ago from Wausau,
Neb., where a sister is now residing.
Although possessed Of only limited
means at the time of his arrival, by
industry and thrift he had acquired
six good quarter-sections Of land, and
he was universally respected by all
who knew him.

ERMAN NAVY

FINAL a SORTIE

Amsterdam; Dec. s23.-The attempt
of officers of the German high seas
fleet before the armistice was signed
is characterized by the Berlin Vor'
waerts as 'the last devilish crime
against the German people that sealed
the doom of the Pan1Germans." Re.
fusal of the sailors to 80 out and fight
is regarded as the first step toward
the German revolution. This mutiny
is described by the Vorwaerts as IAN
act of self-defense by $4,000 men
against the vililonous Pan-Gernam
plan.
ITO understand the position con-
tinues the newspaper, 1T Is neces'
sary to 20 back to the feverish prop

end of October for so-called national
