MOON VENDER SUED
FOR VICTIMS DEATH
Renville Widow Blames Liquor
Vendors for the Death of Hus-
band. Seeks $4,000 Damages

An unusual case, and one, the out
come of which will eagerly be
watched, especially by those engaged
in the illicit sale of intoxicating Ii
quor, will probably be tried the next
term of the Renville county district
court at Olivia.
The action has been brought by
Mrs. Anna Sausele against Gilbert
Kortgard, to recover $4,000 damag-
es, alleging that the defendant sub
stantially contributed to the death Of
plaintiffs husband, George Sausele,
former Renville garage owner, by
furnishing him with moonshine whis-
key and other Intoxicating liquors in
large quantities.
Sausele- died June %, this year, at
the age of 81 years. He and his
widow were married, May 4, 1914. Up
to the time of the alleged unlawful
acts of the defendant, according to
the complaint, Sausele was a strong,
healthy, able-bodied man engaged in
the automobile and garage business
at Renville, earning from $4,000 to
$4,000 per year. From these earn
ings he contributed an average of
500 per month toward the support
of his wife, the complaint alleges.
1t seems that during that year
1926, Sausele began drinking intoxi-
eating LIQUORS to excess, which con-
tinued until his death from alcohol
ism. AS result of being perman-
entity deprived Of her means of sup
port, his widow is now seeking dam
ages to the extent Of $4,000. She
has retained the New Ulm law firm
of Streissguth & Fordyce as counsel.

Auditor Louis C. Vogel of Brown
county recently received the second
consignment of % cans of rainbow
trout fingerlings from the st. Peter
hatchery, the fry being planted in the

UNEARTH INDIAN SKULL.
RELICS NEAR DAWSON

Z What is believed to be the skull of
an Indian princess was unearthed on
the Jim Wolford farm. nine miles
south of Dawson, last Thursday after
noon. Charles Common of that COM
munity was blowing up some ground
to open gravel pit when the skull
of corpse was struck by the pillow.
A careful examination revealed the
fact that the body had been buried in
a sitting position with the legs
crossed. The lower part of the body
was preserved to marked degree,
even the skin being well kept.
A buffalo robe was found wrapped
around the body, and gives rise to the
theory that it was probably an Indian
princess. A sewing bag made of
buckskin was found beside the corpse,
and this contained spool of raw
hide thread. metal necklace and a
skin belt.

DOING THEIR JOB

Whatever opinions the American people may have
with reference to the presence of United States Mar
ines in Nicaragua, proper cognzance should be taken
of the heroic acts which the Marines performing in
their campaign against the Sandino forces.
These Marines have nothing to say as to whether
it is right wrong for them to be in Nicaragua They
there in accordance with the orders given to them
and in subordnation to the oaths they took enlist
ment, upon receipt of their commissions.
The campaign for them is matter of duty, and
that they doing that duty in accordance with the
highest traditions of the American soldier is matter
in which their fellow citizens take pride.
Carrying out the ideals which have made heroes

PROTECT TIE TREES

On number of previous occasions this column
has taken occasion to valley residents to exercise
care with fire when they in the mountains or other
wooded sections Of the state vacation or weekend
trips.
Within the past two weeks several serious fires
have been reported in that section of the country most
frequently visited by valley foks-the mountains be-
tween here and San Diego There is no reason to be-
eve that valley residents caused the fires We hope
they did not.
1t is very certain however that a number of less
serious fires in and around Jacumba the last week
end, were caused by valley children shooting off fire
works the highly inflammable brush that covers
that section
Parents should not only exercise care themselves
but should take every precauton to prevent their chill
dren from being responsible for fires. Even though
there dense forests in this particular area there
are enough fine trees to real misfortune if they
should be destroyed Moreover, the smaller growths
brush, 1t might be termed-are valuable in their
way forests They should receive the same protec-
ton as the larger trees.
Next week brings Fourth of July, and undoubted-
y until that day there will be plenty of fireworks car
rled to the mountains. If they must be used, let val
ley residents to it that they used where they
will do no injury We of Imperial Valley value trees
too highly to have it said that are careless with
them simply because they do not happen to be
own property. Be careful.

HOOVER STRONG

The following letter has been re-

across letter written in behalf of
