DEATH STRIKES

Answer Last Summons; Both
Buried There.

Death visited the Hinckley COM

about IS years ago where he had
worked on the Great Northern Rail
road section about Is years. He was
member of the Lutheran church

being no children.
The funeral was held from the

FATAL TO AUTOISTS

r. ]. Shute, son, Arnold, and Mr..
and Mrs. r. Onstad and Norman Mat
son of the Duxbury and Markville
communities, figured in an auto ac-
cident Monday which caused injuries
and bruises to Mr.. MatsOn and Arnold

model A Ford truck and when APP
preaching the bend near the Snake
river bridge on the pavement in the
north edge of Pine City, lady by the
name of Mrs. Zounes of Glenwood,
passed a car just in front of them
and in attempting to get back on
her own side of the road she side

You just can't keep a good man
down." must have thought John H.
(Jack) Cunningham of Sturgeon Lake,
when he entered the state trapshoot-
ing championship contest at Fort
Smelling Gun Club Sunday. for he
proceeded to cracked down 1877 OF
the elusive clay pigeons out of pos
sible 200 to regain the crown which
he lost by a single bird in last years
membered, that Jack outclassed a
high class shooting field with 1913 hits
out of a possible 200 to win.
A representative of the Askov Amer
lean interviewed Cunningham when
he returned home after his conquest
and upon being asked how he kept in
trim for tournament competition Jack
remarked that he did not see clay
from one event to another. This is
remarkable when it is seen that in
almost any line of endeavor one must
keep in practice but competition does
not seem to bother the Sturgeon Lake
gunner as he is used to that sort OF
thing since he has played semi-prO.
fessional and professional baseball fol
several years and is an all around
athlete.
Pine county people take pride in the
activities of their native sons anG
among others who hav~ made good in
the world of sports is George E
"Rube" Walberg, who is a pitcher or
the staff of the Boston Red SoX in
the major leagues.
Jack said a few words over radio
station, WRHM, Minneapolis, Monday
evening, but this was not generally
announced and only few of the home
folks heard him.

HUNT BODIES
IN STURGEON
Duluth High School Boy and
Girl are Thought to Have
Drowned.
Rough Water H a m perS
Search for Bodies; Canoe
Found.

1t is almost certain that young
man and woman from Duluth lost
their lives by drowning in the waters
of Sturgeon Lake Saturday morning
when their canoe was capsized by
waves. Kenneth Lukow, IS, and Mar
garet Almberg, 10, members of Den
field high school student picnic out
ing at Camp Miller on Sturgeon Lake,
disappeared from the camp and their
in the day. At that time a search
revealed that one of the canoes was
missing and then it became clear that
the young couple had gone out on the
lake.
The canoe and one paddle was
found in the evening by Joseph Selen-
ski at a point almost across the lake
opposite the camp where it had ap-
parently drifted. The lake was so
rough Saturday that it was exceed
ingly difficult to get very far from
shore even in a boat and some of
those who were out in canoes said
that their canoes were tipped by the
waves.
Two airplaneS were summoned
from Duluth Sunday but the high
wind and rough water made the Wis
ability so poor that their efforts were
futile. Sheriff Hannes Rypkema and
Coroner Frank Gottry commenced
dragging operations Monday but up
until his time their efforts have been
in vain. The search for the bodies
proves a difficult task since no one
had seen on which part of the lake
the young couple had gone.
Had Given Keys to Another.
An incident which is difficult to
account for is the fact that young
Lukow had given his automobile keys
to friend to take care of until he
returned. Miss Almberg was an honor
student in this years graduating
class and Lukow was a star athlete
on the schools football team last fall.

Standings of the Teams.

Sturgeon Lake was dethrOned from
the supremacy of the Pine County
Baseball League Sunday when the
N. P. S. Club won a game OF baseball
played on the Kerrick diamond 10
to Z. Before that the Lakers had won
five straight games and were leading
the league, but now they are resting
in a. tie with Sandstone for first place
with five victories each and one de-
feat. The N. P. S. Club is close be-
hind with four victories and two de-
feats while Askov was pushed into
fourth place by Moose Lake with
score of 5 to 4.
Brook Park handed Finlayson the
fifth Jolt that team has received this
season by winning II to 8. Sandstone
was forced into an overtime period
to nose out Willow River by score
of to 4.
If both Sandstone and Sturgeon
Lake win their Sundays schedule
against Askov and Finlayson then
the first half will end in a tie be-
tween these two teams and this Will
necessitate a playoff contest between
them on some neutral diamond the
following Sunday which is open In
the league before the start OF the
second half. If they both should lose
and n. P. S. Club should win, then
there will be three way tie for first
place.
Following are the box scores OF the
games reported:

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

If everything goes according to
schedule, most interesting meeting
will take place at Venice tomorrow,
Friday, for Adolf Hitler, chancellor
of Germany, is to journey to that
beautiful city for a conference with
Benito Mussolini, prime minister and
dictator of Italy; it will be the first
time that the two chieftans of Euro
pean fascism meet face to face. There
are rumors to the effect that the
meeting may not take place because
of too much advance publicity" but
confirmation is lacking at the time of
this writing.
The question that brings Hitler and
MussOlini together is that of disarma-
ment, but no details as to the trend OF
the conversations have been even hint
ed; it isshOwever, generally understood
that the Italian dictator will attempt
to persuade his German colleague to
let Germany return to the disarma-
ment conference at Geneva, for the
| feeling among statesmen in the OLD
World is that without German parti-
cipation, and, more particularly, with
out some degree of Franco-Germar
reconciliation, the conference is
doomed to complete failure.

1t may be that the Venice meetins

place at Chequers near London July
6, Z and s, will transcend in far

ELSBERG DETAILS
ROAD SPENDING
Most of Federal Funds are Spent for
Grading; Paving is Second.

Practically all of the S10,600,000
allotted in 1888 and 1894 as emer-
gency Federal highway aid to Min
nesota is now under contract and will
be spent by late summer. N. w. Els
berg, state highway commissioner,
has divided up the two year program
into various types of road work which
shows just how the money has been
spent.
Grading ranks first in amount of
money allotted, with concrete paving
second and bridge construction third.
The following summary of how the
federal funds are being spent was
given by Mr.. Elsberg, round figures
being used:
Grading, 80 miles ........ $4,912,0 900
Concrete paving, SO miles. 1,498,000
Bridges, 80 ................ 1,1ol, OOO
Crawling, 535 miles ...... 1,164,O0O
Waterbound macadam, GA
miles ............. ...... o0o,OOU
Under passes beneath rail-
ROADS, lS ................ bo4,UOO
Bituminous treatment, 60
miles $4,000
Signals at railroad crossings $1,000
Special monolithic culverts 10000
Special curb and gutter work $500
Approximately 43 per cent of the
total appropriation is being spent on
the Federal aid highway system, 80
per cent on trunk highways through
municipalities and % per cent on
trunks which are feeders to the fed
eral aid system. Minneapolis, ST. Paul
and Duluth get S1,5OO,0OO for use on
streets designated as trunk highways.
The allotment and expenditure of the
funds is under federal supervision.
