LITTLE FALLS
CUTS LOOSE
FOR IT'S HERO
CONTINUED from page one)

Dor towns, many of them long
friends of the youth who had writ
ten aviation history.
mayor Austin l.. Grimes, the
youngest mayor Little Falls ever has
had. took a prominent part in the
festivities, and was quite prepared
for fitting speech if there seemed
any need for Il.
One of the happiest in the merry
throng was Charles Farrow, an auto
mobile salesman. who taught young
Lindbergh how to drive an automo-
bile back in l917--that was the first
car in the Lindbergh family.
Push Old Car in Parade
They found the car out on the old
Lindbergh estate, long relegated to
the scrap heap, but they made it a
shrine Saturday night. Juggling it
along with the parade Charley used
to drive it through the city streets.
The automobile, no longer able to
navigate under its own power, was
deposited at the intersection when
the parade was over, and. acting on
the suggestion of w. T. Tourtillotte,
former chief Of police, the populace
decided to leave it there as "a monu-
ment to the mighty achievements of
the "hOme town boy"
This will be done with some en-
Enlistment. The autom obile will be
mounted on a cement base. and over
it will be placed the green and red
sign Of a traffic signal, battered
reminder to all travellers that Cap
tain Lindbergh is dependable driv-
or OF all motor steeds.
There wasn't an honor in town too
good for "the kid" Even the Lit
tie Falls Hunting club threw aside a
revered rule, calling for only 10
members, and named him their 10th.

crashing into it. The next thing he
remembered, he said. was talking to
Albert Reed, the driver of the other
car, about getting Schmit in TO a
hospital quickly.
! Car Just Starting Up
Reed, who was driving car he
longing to w. F. McClelland Of the
state training school, said he had
driven two children from the school
to Bismarck and had started back.
when the car began to.sputter. He
thought he was out Of gas, he said.
so he stopped and investigated, to
find the tank three quarters full.
He had parked the car with the right
wheel approximately two feet off the
pavement he said. He had Just
started out again, driving along the
shoulder, when the crash came.
Getting out Of his car, he said he
saw the BARLEY car about is feet
behind him. BARLEY was sitting
with his feet on the seat, and
Schmit who was bleeding profusely,
appeared to be just getting out Of
the car.
"Why did you do it," he said he
asked BARLEY and alleged that the
man replied, II don't know. It's not
your fault" They then DISCUSS
the matter Of rushing Schmit to q

County Health Board
Has Quarantine Right
Supreme Court Rules

In matters relating to quarantine,
county boards of health are supreme
except in cities, the attorney gem
erals office has ruled in an opin-
ion to John Moses, states attorney
at Hazcn, n. d.
Moses inquired regarding the rcla-
tive rights of the county board Of
health and village and township
boards with regard to guarantees
and expenses incurred in connection
with quarantine cases.
The statute is little uncertain
and indefinite in some respects, the
opinion held, but presents no ques-
ton as to the relative rights Of cities
and counties. Most of the sections
relating to guarantees were passed
many years ago and others were
passed in 1913, the opinion points
out.
One section of the law, however,
provides that call expenses incurred
in quarantining or disinfecting out
side Of Incorporated cities shall be
audited. by sthe county board of
health and -A6id for out Of the gen
eral fund OfS ihq, county,"
Z In view Of this section of the law,
the opinion held, the county board
of health not only has jurisdiction
but must pay expenses incurred in
quarantine cases.

Elephant Pays For
Winters Freedom

Quenemo, Kas.-Diamond, who once
was two-ton elephant, deficd the
conventions and his trainers last
winter and went on jaunt through
southwestern Kansas, terrifying
farmers and breaking up fences with
attendant publicity.
Now. every step is reminder to
Diamond that freedom costs dearly.
His jaunt was made in sub-zero
weather and the frost nipped him in
several places. The circus in which
he plays an important part has start
ed on its summer tour and Diam ond
plods painfully along with it.
Diamonds ears are gone, and he
has only half tail. Large white
spots mark places where his flesh
was frozen, his body is cut ant
bruised and he has lost weight. Hi.
| trainers expect him to stick close u
the winter quarters hereafter.

PURCHASE OF
LAND BY STATE
BRINGS SUIT

rated at subsequent legislative ses-
sions, he said.
Commenting on the law, set forth
in Martins complaint, which pro-
hibits any state board from going
beyond appropriations in eXpendi-
lures Of any kind, Murphy said the
law had not been called to his atten-
ton and that it had been the practice
of the board to make such contracts
When the board of administration
bought other land for the peniten-
tary it was bought on similar con-
tract, he said, at a price of 500
an acre. That purchase was made,
he said, even after Lynn J. Frazier,
then governor, had vetoed the APP
preparation for the purchase.
Attorney General Consulted
Murphy consulted Attorney Cen
eral Shafer this morning with regard
to the suit. The attorney general
said he will investigate the matter
and report to the board regarding
the law in the case.
What political significance the
suit may have, if any, was the sub
ject of considerable speculation in
capitol circles today. Martin, the
complainant, is a Nonpartisan, where
as majority of the board members
are Independents. w. J. Church is
the lone Nonpartisan member, Muir
ply, j. A. Kitchen, Bertha r.
Palmer and f. f. Diehl being classed
as Independents. Murphy and Diehl
are appointive members and Kitchen
and Miss Palmer are cx-officio men,
bers.
In statement today Miss Palmer
said she was not present at the
board meeting when the contract to
purchase the land was approved and
knew nothing regarding it.
Church said he had opposed the
purchase on the ground that the price
was too high but had voted for it
i'm order to make the action of the
board unanimous.
What defense will be offered to
the action, if any, probably will be
determined by F. A. Lair and Attor-
ney General Shafer, representing the
board Of administration.
Hearing Set for June 3
The state, however, already has
made the $4,000 down payment on
the land and John J. Lee, warden Of
the penitentiary, has planted crop
on it.
Lee favored the purchase, Murphy
said, on the ground that it was the
best available land and near the peni-
tertiary.
Records of the board show that a
$4,000 appropriation to purchase
land was used to pay $1,000 for some
hay land in the Missouri river bot
tom and $4,000 was paid to Lair
