Water Line
SUIT SETTLED
Agreement Reached Between
Contracting Firm and City
Monday Morning.

The suit of Kapphahn, Maturi &
Son VS.. City of Ely, arising out OF
damages claimed by the contracting
firm in the construction of the water
line to BURNSIDE Lake, was settled out
of court early Monday morning, an
agreement having been arrived at
awarding damages in the amount of
$4,000 to the plaintiffs.
The case was on trial before a jury
for two days before adjournment over
the weekend and the plaintiff had pre-
sented large part of testimony in its
behalf. Their part of the case had not
been completed when court was to be
called on Monday. Before opening of
court the settlement had been made
and the case was stricken.
The contracting firm had entered
suit for approximately $31 900 damages
claimed on account of inability of the
city to furnish the piping required for
the water line and the delay thus caused
the firm damages estimated at the
amount in question, it was claimed.
Testimony already introduced sub
stantiated the claims of the contractors
for damages and everything went to
show that the jury, in all probability,
would have made the award more than
the settlement arrived at by City Attor-
ney Nelson to whose good work is at

fair amount of the award.

spearing season before the completion
of spawning, and
Whereas, there is great danger of
wall-eyed pike and pickerel being taken
while spawning in the shadows of
lakes and streams during the season
which has been opened up for the
spearing of rough fish, and
Whereas, this order is necessary for
immediate protection thereof.
Now, Therefore, I, Floyd B. Olson, as
Governor of the State of Minnesota,
hereby order and proclaim that pur-
suant to the provisions of Mason's
Minnesota Statutes of 1927, Section
5640, that under penalties prescribed
by law, no person shall take by spear
ing, snagging or in any other manner,
any fish whatsoever, either game fish
or rough fish, with or without the aid
of artificial lights, in any of the waters
of this state before Che date of May
Is, 1884, in the southern fishing zone
and before the date of May 20, 1884, in
the northern fishing zone as such fish
ing zones are established by Section
1854, Mason's Minnesota statutes of
1927, as amended Laws 1929, Chapter
1913. However, excepting therefrom the
taking of such fish for which seasons
are provided by statute, by angling
and the taking of rough fish in lakes
and streams under regular issued con-
tracts
Furthermore, that this order shall
take effect from and after the date
hereof and shall remain in effect and
be in force until May 18th, 1884, inso-
far as it affects the southern zone and
May 10Th, 1884, insofar as it affects
the northern zone, all dates inclusive.

The starving deer" pro-
position has created somewhat
of a controversy among game
wardens in this and other parts
of the Arrowhead. The deer
found here were starved to
death as was demonstrated.
Why such a statement should
at once be questioned by other
parts of the country in a bel
ligerent attitude is beyond ouT
comprehension. The fact re-
mains that many deer met their
Waterloo this winter and
whether it was "maggots in
the brain" or plain starvation,
matters not, they were found
dead. The wardens in this
district, and ours are not lame
in their reasoning, are OF the
opinion that starvation was the

The efforts of Congressman
Shoemaker to throw a monkey
wrench into the smooth running
Farmer-Labor machinery of
Senator Henrik Shipstead at
the convention in St. Paul last
week, failed to have the de-
sired result. While Senator
Shipstead must be highly
pleased with the result of the
convention, we do not antici-
pate that he is overly enthusi-
astic over some of the planks
in the platform upon which he
is to stand at the coming cleo
ton. Senator Shipstead is a
sensible man with liberal ideas
according to our thinking.
How he will reconcile himself
to some of the radical red
resolutions adopted remains to
be seen.

AIRPLANE CRASH
FAILED TO STOP
GIRL ATHLETE
Sprint Champion of 1928
Olympics Stages
Comeback
BY STUART CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

New York (UP)-The worlds
most gallant eort on the part of u
woman track athlete is being made
these days by Betty Robinson, of
Chicago, sprint champion of the
1928 Olympic Games at Amster-
dam.
Her life despaired of after an
airplane accident in 1881, Betty
now has recovered fully from her
injuries. She still is unable to re-
member anything she for two or
three days prior to the accident
and does not remember the crash
from 500 feet which resulted In a
fractured skull, multiple fractures
of the left leg AMI arm, and other
injuries which almost cost her the
sight of her left eye.
Left Leg Shorter
The only serious mark Betty
still carries is that her left leg is
nearly half an inch shorter than
her right. 1t doesn't bother her,
she says, and she feels, now that
she actively is running again, that
her speed Is as great as ever.
Betty's one ambition Is to run
for the United States in the 1896
Olympics in Berlin. The first real
effort of her comeback campaign
will be in the national outdoor wO-
mems championships at San Fran
cisco. and she hopes to prove that
trip to London for the Women's
World International Meet will be
worth her while.
Set World Marks
When her career was interrupt
ed in 1881 she held world marks
for the so yards. 100 yards, 100
meters. 200 meters and 220 yards,
and these marks never have been
bettered by an American girl.
AS recently as one month before
the crash Betty ran the 220 in the
record time of 25.1. She was then
the most talked of u. S. women's
Olympic track possibility, and the
great tragedy of her life is that the
accident kept her out Of the games
at Los Angeles.
Recently Miss Robinson made
the first step of her comeback by
competing in the National A. A. U.
indoor meet in Brooklyn. She ran
only in the relay, and she was all
but unnoticed by the crowd, but
the test convinced her that she is
able to run as we'll as she ever did.
She says she gets as much fun
out of running as she ever did, and
hopes to repeat. eight years later,
the triumphs she enjoyed at Am
sterdam.

HAMMOND CLIQUE
SECURE CONTROL
OF GARDEN STOCK

New York, April 2S-UP) =
Col. John s. Hammond, former
vice-president Of Madison Square
Garden, and his associates, have
obtained control of the Garden
corporation from Richard F. Hoyt
New York financier, and his asso-
ciates, it was learned authori-
tatively today.
1t is understood that Hammond,
who brought professional hockey
to New York and for years head
ed the Rangers of the National
Hockey league, will become presi-
dent and active directing head.
Sweeping changes in policy and
personnel are expected.
Hoyt, chairman of the Gardens
board of directors, was one of the
men who backed Tex Richard in
building the Garden in 1923. He
and the Hayden-Stone banking
house, in which Hoyt is a partner,
have held controlling interest.
Ever since Richard died In
1919, there has been considerable
disagreement over management.
The change in ownership Is not
expected to conflict with plans al
ready made for the world heavy
weight championship bout, between
Primo Carnera and Make Baer or
June A.
