Dispute Is Settled.
To all outward appearances the
bitter dispute that arose between
Iieutenants Farrell and Hinton
shortly after their arrival here yes
terday, which eliminated in a blow
from Farrell that sent his fellow air
man sprawling over table in the
home of H. P. Williamson, had been
settled today. The aeronauts rose
early, had breakfast together in their
private car and all regretted the in
cident that marred their historical
adventure. Both Farrell and Hinton
were reticent today regarding the
occurrence.
The alteration arose over a let
ter purported to have been written
by Hinton to his wife from Moose
Factory, where they first found Sue
cor after wandering through the
wilderness four days subsisting on
two carrier pigeons and caribou
moss. In the letter, published in q
New York newspaper, Hinton is
alleged to have written that Farrell;
exhausted from the rigorous wan
dering, pleaded with his two COM
panions to kill him and eat his body
to enable them to get back to CIV

with "double-crossing" him, saying
all had agreed that their letters

found constantly and slaughtered I'M

Farmers and stockmen throughout
the state are showing a wonderful
readiness to have their cattle tested,
because they realize that tuberculosis

use the milk al the time" said DR.. L.

getting many more applications than
can be handled at once, but with the
big public trend for healthy cattle,
we are pushing the work as rapidly
as possible"
