To The Free Press: One Of the things
which the people of this end Of the
county are much interested in and which
will be acted upon by the commissioners
at the present session or the county

Without doubt there are as many nun

BLUE EARTH NOTES

John lenahan Was Drowned While
Working With Dredging Machine.
Blue Earth, April SC. J. Walker,
who is employed In the Mann garage
in Algona, met with a serious and very
painful accident a few days ago while
soldering a big tractor radiator. The
hot metal squirted through the spaces
between the radiator tubes and struck
him in the face, some of the hot metal
going into his right eye. It is thought
he may 60 blind. His suffering is In
tense. st..
John Lenahan. aged fifty years. was
drowned in a dredging ditch southwest
by himself and another men who were
carrying some coal from the dredge to
a cabin on land. sank. His body was
not recovered for twenty-four hours.
Blue Earth will celebrate on July 4
and this year. Besides the regular
program they viii have ball games and
other games and several horse races
will call crowds from the surrounding
towns and country.
There is great excitement In Wells:
Several farmers, who have associated
themselves together with the belief that
iron ore is present in great quantities,
began digging a test well. After going
down thirty feet they struck some hard
substance believed to be iron ore. They
have since sent for a diamond drill In
order to drill into the material. Mr..
Gilman, who has leased several farms
by contract for mining. is waiting de-
yeIopnents on these farms before he
I, brings his expensive machinery here.

UNPAID BOOZE FINES
District Warrants Being Issued
Duluth For Collection
ASSOCIATED Press Disptach1

Associated Press D1sptach1
Duluth, Mimi, April. 5-Approxi
mately half of the 376 distraint war
rants for delinquent taxpayers in
and about Duluth arose out of the
liquor cases, according to officials of
the local internal revenue office.
The cases come about where the
government has levied taxes on
moonshine makers and whiskey run
ners, contending that they are run
ming distilleries or engaging In the
sale of liquor without paying the
taxes collected by custom for almost
a century.
The distraint warrants, in general,
are issued after taxpayers have
ignored two notices of assessment.
The warrants authorize the govern
ment to seize any property owned by
the defendant. In case the property
is insufficient to cover the tax, the
government has the right to take
any property to which the defendant
may later acquire title.
Distraint warrants other than those
based on previous action of dry
law enforcers arise through failure
of the payment on income and mis-
cellaneous taxes. The warrants also
impose additional penalties, besides
authorizing collection of the original
amounts assessed. Four additional
deputy agents from the Minneapolis
office arrived here recently to assist
in serving the warrants.

HOW PIPESTONE JUDGE
VIEWED THE LAW
Says Fact That Car Struck Boy
Had Nothing To Do With
Its Speed
Especial to The Free Press.l

Pipestone, Mimi, April 5.-August
Peterson of Ihlen was found guilty in
the municipal court here of having
driven his car at speed greater than
was reasonable and proper and was
sentenced to pay a fine of $40 and
costs. Peterson ran down a school boy
as he was leaving the public school
grounds here, badly injuring the lad.
The state failed to prove that Peter
SON was exceeding the speed limit OF
fifteen miles an hour when he struck
the boy but Judge Cady ruled that II
was not necessary for the state to
prove that the car was being driven
over fifteen miles an hour when the
boy was struck as the fact that the boy
was hit by the car showed that the
driver was not taking the precaution
that he should take while driving in
the vicinity Of a public school build
eight or ten miles an hour, 1t was
violation Of the speed laws the same
as If 1t was going over fifteen miles
an hour, Judge Cady ruled.
