CANOEISTS GET
WET IN SPILL
AT GRINDSTONE

Riding horse back is frequently
done on the farm and in society
circles with pleasure and benefits
derived therefrom, but riding an
overturned canoe in the middle
of Grindstone lake at midnight
is not so enjoyable as will attest
four young Sandstone men the
names of whom are not made
known in this writing, who ex-
perienced the discOmforture.
1t appears that during a dance
at Grindstone lake last Thursday
night at about the midnight hour
the said young Sandstone men de-
cided to take a canoe ride on the
lake, and forthwith padded to-
ward the center. The waves were
rather high and the canoe (known
to be very unsteady lived up to
it's reputation and dumped them
into the water. Fortunately for
it's occupants, they were able to
get astride until help, which had
been attracted by their cries,
reached them.
One of the victims lost his poe
ket book in the "shipwreck' and
this was washed ashore and re-
turned to him the next day caus-
ing the event to end perfectly,
and enabling all to live happily
ever after.

WATERS VICTIM
IS LAID TO REST
OrvilIe Furman, II, Markville Youth
browns While Fishing in Wis
cOnSin Lake.

The funeral of Orville Furman, II,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Morris Furman of
Markville, who drowned in Porter
lake in Wisconsin on July 7, was held
at the Presbyterian church in Mark
vile Wednesday afternoon of last
week with the Rev. Alexander Mclean
officiating, and burial was made in
the Markville cemetery. The pail
bearers were: Harold Howard, Harry
Dunn, Robert Rash, Alfred Quinn,
Matter Lindgren, and Rude Kelch.
The services were very largely at
tended by relatives and friends who
came to pay their last respects to the
departed. The flowers were beautiful
and arranged in profusion.
Young Furman had been fishing
by wading along the shore and
was suddenly stricken with cramps, it
is thought. He called for help as he
fell into the water, but the remainder
of the fishing party, including his par
entS, were some distance away, and
before they could get to him he dis
appeared under the surface. Attempts
were made Immediately, by those
present, to rescue him or at least to
find the body, but these failed. Drag
ging of the lake was soon begun upon
the arrival of help from Markville,
Riverside, and Grantsburg, but sue
cess in finding the body was delayed
until 2:30 in the afternoon when it
was located in II feet of water direct
ly off shore from where he was last
seen. Those in the party fishing at
the lake were: one cousin, Florence
Jones, Mr.. and Mrs. Duvain Dowell,
and Harry Garland of Wilmot, Wis,
M. A. Jones, and Frank Weaver,
neighbors, and his parents.
Besides the parents, Orville was
survived by his sister, Dollie, two
years younger.

The Pine County Baseball League
leading squads scalp was hanging in
thin air Sunday when they journeyed
to the county seat to tangle with that
team when it is seen that a fifteen
inning contest was played with neither
team being able to exc victory from
the other. Bergh, the Pine City pitch
er, who went the entire route, had
the better of a pitching duel against
Rayner and Handschu, striking out II
batters and allowing only five hits
The game was called at the end of
fifteen innings on account of the 6
O'Clock Sunday law.
The game between Sturgeon Lake
and Brook Park drew a fair sized
crowd in spite of the cold, blustery
weather and was won by the former.
The well known battery, Westerman
and Woods worked for Brook Park.
Westerman threatened to win his own
game when with two on in the eighth
he sent long drive to left field
and circled the bases for home run
which brought his team into the lead
with two runs to spare. That lead
did not last, however, as in Surgeons
half of the session they went on a
batting rampage which netted five
runs. Jack Cunningham batted long
drive which was good for three bases.
Lee Anderson, pitching for the To-
Gals, hurled masterful game allow
ing only one hit to the eighth inning,
but in that inning he injured his leg
which hampered his pitching ability
and had to be replaced by his brother,
Mack
The game between Askov and Sand
stone was a one-sided affair with the
Quarry City boys having the better of
the fielding and batting. Smith, pitch
ing for Sandstone allowed only three
hits while he, himself, was getting
two. Ray Hogan of Kerrick, pitched
for the Askov team and struck out
eight of the Sandstone batters while
Smith was tanning ten. The final
score was Is to 1.
Finlayson won a forfeit game from
Hinckley

Washington, July 16-Outwardly it
would appear that the current contro-
versy over the ratification of the Lon
don naval treaty was nothing more
than a struggle between the President
of the United States and the Senate
Back of all the hubbub as to the
relative powers of the executive and
legislative branches in foreign affairs
is another picture. 1t is a story
that has not crept into news dis
patches. Observers know that behind
the scenes two of the most powerful
Hobbies are working with little, if any,
publicity attending their efforts. As
several influential Senators have pri-
vately stated, it is not so much anti
Hoover, especially in the Republican
camp, as it is the old cry of pre-
paredness" versus peace" In other
words, the fight is engineered by the
big navy" or national defense groups
'pacifists.
An impartial analysis of affairs in
Washington forces the conclusion that
accurate interpretations do not har-
monte with the popular conception
as CLEANED from prevailing news ac-
counts. Just now it is conceded that
the treaty will be ratified. One poll
teal group will acclaim the vote as
a personal triumph for the President.
