Gravel Crew Found
Dead Beside Road

st. James-Eugene V. Kiley, 25,
of Minneota, was found dead in a
ditch along highway 4 three miles
north of st. James Tuesday morn
ing of last week A coroner's
jury decided after listening to wit
nesses at an inquest late that af-
ternoon that death was accident
al, being caused by truck going
into a ditch and passing over the
body"
According to testimony given at
the inquest, Kiley was accompan-
led the evening before the accident
by John Derian of Aberdeen,
South Dakota, and both had been
drinking. Derian could not re-
member of the truck in which they
rode going into the ditch, but SAID
that when he arose he felt cold
and noticed that Kiley was miss
ing. He thought he had gone to
town, so drove the truck out of
the ditch and went to town. The
jury and coroner were of the opin-
ion that Derian drove over the
mans body, who it was believed
fell from the truck as it went in
to the ditch.
Dorian will be charged with a
gross misdeameanor which in
cluded driving while drunk and it
will be recommended that his
drivers license be taken away.
The charge carries with it SEN
tence Of not more than one year
in the penitentiary.

load gravel at a pit near st

ordered the driver from the truck.

Frank Mccormick Discusses
Athletics At Banquet
For High Team

If there was any doubt in the
minds of Redwood Falls Lions and
their guests, the high school foot
ball squad, as to the power of the
University of Minnesota football
team it was dispelled Monday
noon when Frank Mccormick,
athletic director at the U, showed
movie highlights of the 1885 sea-
sons games after luncheon at
the Legion hall.
The showing was preceded by a
talk by Mr.. Mccormick in which
he praised the Lions for interest
in the boys shown by their spon-
sorship of the banquet and compli-
mented the team on its successful
grid season. He also took a mo-
ment to laud Tom Finn, Redwood
Falls boy who made good in foot
ball and basket ball at the Univer-
sity Of Chicago.
He credited competitive athle-
tics with developing the indomnit-
able American will to succeed and
said it affected not only the play
ers but the fan and spectator as
well. The trend of industry to-
ward shorter working hours is a
challenge to schools, he said, to
take the lead in arranging health
full recreation for the idle time.
Coach Earle Obermeyer took
advantage of the occasion to de-
clare that the greatest need in
high school athletics here is to get
more boys to participate and urg-
ed the help of the community to-
ward this end. He declared one
reason for the difficulty is the
condition of the practice field,
which the boys call the "rock gar
den."
LIIe introduced Ben Tom and
Eilef Miller, assistant coaches,
and thanked them for their assis-
tance. He said the Lions club
banquet is an event looked for
ward to and appreciated by the
boys. Citing Referee Westgaard
who said Dick Cole was the best
captain in the district, Obermeyer
introduced Cole who also thanked
the Lions for their hospitality and
interest in sports.
Parker d. Sanders acted as
toastmaster and T. F. Reed Jr. led
the singing of the school song and
other selections.

Ex- Linked With Prince

The most startling rufnor in connection with this switching of partners is that Louise Van Alen may take Prince Alexis again. If she should, it would undoubtedly be over the protests of her family and friends, most of whom felt that she went through quite enough the first time.

 Clipper "S24," the SAP Sikorsky flying boat which completed its test flights over Bridgeport and Stratford during last week, met with all the requirements set by Ray Quick, U. s. Department of Air Commerce inspector and 1t was awarded it's government license last Thursday.
 All that remains now is a day of testing with the robot" pilot man. ufacturers and then the acceptance tests by the Pan-American Air | ways system for whom the giant craft was constructed.
 We are to be honored, we un- derstand, with visit back here in this section from Captain Ed | win Musick, chief pilot of the PAA
 who piloted the 1928" on its recent
 history making trip to Hawaii from California. Resting after his flight, Captain Music is heading
 back east again and Nhe may be selected by Juan Trippe, president of PAA, to take delivery of the second in the series to be used in trans-Pacific flying. Yt Housed in the engineering build ing since it's last flight on Thurs day, the giant flying boat was fin- ished inside. It took to the air again Tuesday for last minute ad- I justments. Even as it is being recalled to be turned into trans- oceanic service, workmen are busy on the hull of two more in a series of four of the same type plane. Incidentally we haven't heard much lately from down Baltimore way where the Martin company is also busy constructing Clipper ships for the PAA. We under stand certain changes have been made in the original design and "a test flight was anticipated We'd nesday or Thursday of this week. Everything is being kept secret, however, until the ship proves it. self. The ballyhoo has it that it was going to be faster and better than the SAP models. It made one test flight and went back for changes. Better luck on its next flight.
 Commissioner Charles L. Morris asks that we tell all riIots in the State that there will be no flying permitted over or within a half mile of the Yale Bowl in New Ha- ven from noon until 6 D. m., Standard time, on Saturday, June n. Further particulars are at the commissioner office.
 If the Federal government is go- ing to spend money on airports in Connecticut it should select Com missioner Morris and former Dep- uty Commissioners Jack Lenox to have charge of disbursement fo the funds. Jack and Commissioner Charlie know more about aviation in the state than any two others and they know where the money could best be spent. Incidentally. they look on Brainard field in Hartford as just one of the air. ports in the state, and not .'the one and only" as they have been urged to. believe.
