SUPREME COURT
AffIRMS VERDICT
LULU JUDKINS OF WESTPoRT.
WINS DAMAGE CASE AGAINST
F. w. SPRAGUE
THE CASE WAS HARD FOUGHT
DISTRICT COURT AWARD OF
$4,000 UPHELD IN DECISION
HANDED DOWN

The case of Lulu H. Judkins of
Westport against F. w. Sprague Of
Sank Centre was definitely settled by
the Minnesota Supreme Court Thurs
day of last week when a decision was
handed downsaffirming the verdict in
favor of the plaintiff rendered in the
Stearns County District Court, fixed
by District Judge Roeser at $4,000.
1t will be recalled that on the ev-
ening of Aug 8, 1920 while returning
from Glenwood, Mr.. Sprague ran in
to a small car containing the two
Frederick boys and the two Judkin
girls. While the car was demolished
and all the occupants were more or
less injured, Miss Lulu was critically
so, as her life was despaired of for
many days after, and it is said she
will be crippled for life.
The Fredericks car was going west
on the right hand side of the road.
1t was in the early evening and there
was only one light on their car, but
that was the left hand one. At the
point where the collision took place
the road was wide enough for three
cars to pass.
At the trial of the action it was
alleged that the defendent was driv-
ing at rapid rate of speed when he
struck the Frederick car. The case
was stubboinly fought in the District
Court with Ripley Brewer appearing
for the plaintiff and Senator J. D..
Sullivan for Mr.. Sprague. The ver-
dict as handed in by the trial jury
was in excess of $4,000, the Herald
understands, but was reduced by
Judge Roeser to the amount affirmed
by the Supreme Court.
The case has been an expensive one
fA Mr.. Sprague and it is probable
that when the verdict and all of the
costs are taken into consideration his
outlay will not be far from Sic, 900. 3
The Herald understands that the
first case having been definitely set.
tied, at least three other actions will
be brought unless they are settled
out of court.
| Sank Centre friends sympathize
with Mr.. Sprague in his difficulty.

Ledge Near Sank Centre

ing with the expectations of the COM
pany and work was suspended until
more acreage was acquired by piner-
al lease in the vicinity. This was
accomplished, and last week drilling
was resumed.
Each foot further that the drill
went convinced the workers that the
drill was topping" the ore ledge.
Friday afternoon the heavy steel drill
pounded its way into the hard silvery
like metal. The ring of the tools
told the story. A few more strokes
and Malloy ordered the drillers to
"pull the tools" The bailer was
sent down and the first shining, glis
tening samples were brought to the
surface. A crowd had already gath
cred on the scene when the strike was
first made and great was the excite
ment. Word was heralded to Sank
Centre to the office of the Company
and to Long Praitie and adjoining
town that the ore had been reached.
Great enthusiasm was shown by the
people of Long Prairie and Round
Prairie as these two towns are clos
est to the site.
L. w. Gingery, president OF the
Company said: at is rather a new
experience for us here in Sank Cen
tire and the fates have not been I'M
kind. If our company has done any
thing of merit so far we are glad.
We shall take the necessary steps to
carry out our original plans OF
prospecting and developing. Success
Is not in finding ore. 1t is rather in
mining and commericializing it"
William M. Parker feels repaid
for his efforts so far. Mr.. Parker
has always manifested lively inter-
est in the work. "We are going right
ahead. We have other holdings
along the same line. These are clos
er to Sank Centre and we will give
to them the same serious consrera-
ton that we have given to the Drev-
low tract
Besides this silver-lead strike the
Minnesota Gas & Mineral Co. owr.'
shell-marl beds close to Little Sank.
Mr.. Malloy estimates that these ,eds
contain more than half a million tens
of mari. Reports and ANALYSIS made
by a half dozen agricultural colleges
throughout the United States show
this mari to be high in CALCIUM car
Donate or lime and of great value as
fertilizer for sandy Or sour solls'
The Maryland Experiment Station,
one of the foremost agricultural sta
lions in the United States, reports
that in their experiments the use OF
mari as fertilize&. increased the pro-
duct of the lands to the amount CT
4S per cent in corn, "a per cent IN
wheat and 80 per cent in timothy and
clover. The same experiment stat'on
assured the Minnesota Gas & Mineral
Co. that the samples of Little Sank
mari were even richer in lime than
the mari used in the experiments.
I Plans are under way for CONNER
cializing this mari. These beds are
on the Knute Thompson and Philip
Rivett tracts, one qnile southeast OF
! the town of Little Sank.

The private creamery concern Whlch
has been in operation in Sank Cenare
for the past 15 years or more closed
its doors last Saturday, April 10Th.
The creamery was at first located
on Main street but in later years has
been in operation on Third street.
During its existence it has changed
hands several times. Since Jan. 1871
and up to its closing time 1t was
owned and operated by kristensen
Bros. who were the owners in 1915
selling out to C. Lidenberg.
Several years ago the creamery had
a fair patronage making it pronta-
bile business. However in later years
the farmers of this community have
found it more profitable to patromze
their cooperative creamery the

outlook is ahat butter manufact-
ured this year will be twice the
amount of 1920, or close to 5oo'ooo

The farmers of this locality can
well be proud of the business they

All butter made except what is
sold in Sank Centre and the lwln
Cities, is shipped weekly to New
York where it is sold at premium
thus enabling the Sank Lake cream
ery Board to pay high price lot
the butterfat. The big volume OF
business will help cut down the over.

there is one instance where the pfo1it

At the monthly board meeting held

ed in Sank Centre Friday of last
week when news was received that
the Minnesota Gas and Mineral Co.,
had been successful in it's quest for
a silver-lead ledge on the Drevlow
farm in Todd county, north of the vii
lage of Round Prairie.
The land is located on high chain
of hills constituting range running
southwest from the Guyana Range
These hills received much attention
from Bob Malloy, Montant geologist,
last fall. An examination of the logs
of a deep well drilled on the Drevlow
farm several years ago, revealed
hard grey metalliferous appearing
substance.
The character and nature of the
couny, its proximity to the iron
Range, together with the unique lay
of the hills were such as to lend
FEASIBILITY to the belief that the
substance found at that time was
galena, silver-lead ore, and Mr.. NAL
10y recommended that test hole be
sunk at this point.
A great deal of interest was cen
tered in the project by many, but
Malloy never seemed to doubt THAT
the hills contained metal and the hunt
for silvGr-lead was begun.
Prospecting new field is always
hazardous and is fraught with many
difficulties. The engineers zeal was
backed by the cooperation and confl-
dence of l.. w. Gingery, VIM. Park
err, D. J. Mcmahon and Henry n.
Brown of Sank Centre, and L. II.
Nelson of Little Sank.
"Without men like these" said Mr..
Malloy, "the work could not have
gone on. Speculation, l understand,
has been rife for generation about
the presence of something, in the hill
country of northern Stearns and
southern Todd counties. After exam.
nation of the field, we put our Judg
ment to a test. Our first test hole
might not have been a success. We
might have missed the ledge by inches
for it is difficult to know what is the
trend of ledge several hundred feet
under the surface. Whether success
full or not we would have prospected
the entire field as originally planned.
1--WE are pleased beyond words and
our first test hole encourages us to
bigger things. I am not free to
speak fof the company as to what
our next step will be at this time.
I may say, however, that we have just
begun. We know now that we have
commercial ledge of silver-lead ore.
There is no doubt of that fact what
soever.
"This ore is specifically known as
argentiferous galenite, a substance
that normally runs about 81 per cent
lead, a considerable amount Of silver,
sometimes as high as 60 ounces of
silver, and SOME sulphur. The pres
ence Of sulphur is Of real value in
the smelling of the ore as it consti-
tuates a fuel for smelling. While no
assay report has as yet been made my
experience in handling this species
of ore tells me that the ore will run
in the neighborhood of $500 per ton.
As a cubic foot of this substance will
weight about 500 lbs, ton is of rath-
er small volume"
Work was started on the test hole
several months ago but the weather
prohibited fast drilling. Three
weeks ago. at a depth of $50 feet it
became clear to Mr.. Malloy that the
drill was penetrating strata in keep
