Burglars who visited the Consumers

BASEBALL NOT PART OF BUSI-
NESS, SAYS COURT

St. Paul Pioneer-Pless, Q2):-An
employe Of an industry as a clerk who
plays baseball as side line and suf
fers a broken leg sliding into second
base, cannot recover under the Work
men s Compensation act, District
Judge F. NJ. Catlin ruled Tuesday when
he fled decision denying Colin c..
Napier compensation from the North
western Electric Equipment company.
Napier was clerk at the plant of
the equipment company here, testimony
showed. He played baseball, and on
June 10, 1920, while trying to get to
second base ahead Of the ball he slid
and his leg was fractured. He sued
the compensation act ON the grounds
that the ball playing was part of his
duty as an employe Of the company.
The court finds that ball playing was
not part of his duty as clerk and
he was not required by his employer to
play. The club was supported by the
defendant company, but Napier's play
ing was voluntary, the court found.
The above refers to the son of Mr.
and Mrs. G. D. Napier Of st. Paul. He
is we'll known in Little Falls, having
visited here frequently. T. G. Gordon
of this city is his uncle.

VAL AND SAM ARE GOOD FENCE
r1.nMRERS

Val. E. Kssparek and Sam Hammer
beck have better appreciation of the
value of distance as the result of an
experience few days ago. Mr.. Ham
merbeck had called Mr.. Kasparek to
Pine Grove park to show him some
Canadian thistle growing in the elk cor
raj. They made an examination OF the
corral to determine the extent of the
presence of this noxious weed and
then proceeded to the corral occupied
by the buffalo, which they looked over
with view of having the tall grass
cut to prevent damage to the fence
posts. Presently they heard the butfa-
10 make some queer noises which Mr.
Hammerbeck interpreted as meaning
that Mr.. Buffalo desired no intruders.
They made for the fence and none too
soon, for the buffalo was making for
them at top-notch speed just as they
clambered over the the top Of the fence
Once on the other side Of the fence they
felt secure and they thought that per-
haps the antics Of the buffalo were
merely play, but when he, the buffalo,
lowered his head, rammed one horn un-
der stump and tossed it into the all
as though it had been lying loose on
the ground they concluded that the
language of the animal had been cor
rcctly interpreted. At any rate, they
do not deem it advisable to attempt
cutting the grass in the corral occupied
by Mr.. Buffalo.

Mr.. Cobb spoke principally about the
conservation of fish In Minnesota.

best fishing in the United States but
that in order to sustain that reputation
it will be necessary to conserve the tish.
In this connection he stated that the
opening Of bass season comes too early
as the bass are not through spawning
by June Is. He also stated that it
will be necessary to prohibit fishing
for bass, croppies and sunfish in their
nesting places, because of the fact that
the hatching of these spawn IS not
successful IN the state hatcheries and
must take place in the natural nesting
place of the fish. .-.
