Ed. ]. LYNCH Is
SHOT TO DEATH
LIFE OF FORMER MINNESOTA
REVENUE COLLECTOR MYS
TERIOUSLY ENDED *

Cleveland, Aug. 17.-In a rowboat
floating down the Chagrin rivets at
Gates Mill this afternoon was found
the body of Edward L. Lynch. There
was a bullet wound through the heart.
Once collector of internal revenue in
Minnesota, his life passed under mys-
terious circumstances, involving either
murder or suicide. Coroner A. P: Ham
mond and Sheriff Charles B. Stannard
believe it a case of suicide.
There was no gun or revolver in
the boat when the officials got to Gates
Mill last night and Mrs. e. I. Shaner,
a. daughter, who rowed the body up the
Chagrip river to her home, said there
was no weapon in evidence when she
boarded the boat.
The wound was caused by bullet
from 80 caliber revolver. The bullet
took course upward through the
heart. The victim 3 outer coat was
marked by smoke from the weapon.
That no revolver was found in the row
boat is the only fact that leads the
officials to doubt that death was self
inflicted.
For forty years Lynch had been &C.
tive in Democratic politics in Mime
sofa. Among the articles found on his
person was clipping from st. Paul
paper which told about 'the passing
Of Lynch rule' in Minnesota. The
clipping went on to say that an ap'
pointment recommended by Lynch had
been denied and that the recommends
tion made by another leader had been
accepted.

STATE BIOLOGIST EXAMINES
MORRISON COUNTY LAKES

T. Surber, biologist from the depart
ment Of survey and Investigation Of
the state game and fish commission
came to Little Falls Wednesday and in
company with j. M. Totten, local game
warden, went to Lakes Alexander and
Aiott in this county for an investiga-
tion. Mr.. Surber states that the wa
ters of Lake Alexander are in excep-
tionally fine condition for pike and all
other kinds of fish. The shallow parts
of the lake test 81 degrees fahrenheit
and the deep places IS degrees. The
lake is free of moss and other similar
substances and the water is apparently
pure. The water in Aiott lake tests
81 degrees in 1871 feet of water and "a
degrees in the shallow water, which is
regarded too warm for pike.
Owing to the very messy condition
of Aiott lake it was found Impractical
at this time to attempt to seine any
bass to be transferred to another lake.
1t was found that the lake contained
soft snails and other feed for the small
bass but no feed for the large fish,
there being no large fish in the lake.
Mr.. Surber recommended that the lake
be closed to fishing except during the
month Of September and that the
sportsmen stock it With sinner min
nows for the larger bass to feed on.
In this way, he said, sufficient bass
minnows would be assured to stock all
lakes in the county.

TOWN BOARDS MUST COMPLY
WITH WEED LAW

Since the state weed eradication law
went into effect, officials Of town boards
in Morrison county have inquired Of
County Attorney Cameron as to wheth.
er they as township officials are liable
to criminal prosecution upon being
served notice by local weed inspectors
ordering compliance with the law.
Mr.. Cameron took the matter up with
the attorney generals office and has
received an opinion from Assistant
Attorney General Pratt regarding the
same.
In his opinion the assistant attorney
general quotes from Sec. 4 Of Chapter
800, Laws Of 1921, which reads "The
governing board Of each township, vii
lage, borough or city shall, at the ex.
pense Of the municipality, cause all nox-
ious weeds standing or growing upon
any public road or highway therein to
be cut down, etc, etc." He states
that the law is workable without serv-
ing notice on town boards but goes on
to say that tthe duty of complying
with sthesprovisions Of Section 4 being
imposed by law upon the public Of
fcers> named therein mandamus will
lie in proper cases with or without
prior notice and criminal prosecution
may be instituted in proper cases with
or without prior notice: (By manda.
mus proceedings is meant a court order
compelling the officials to perform stip-
ulated duties).
