 Sustaining a broken leg just below the left hip in a fall last May Mrs. Bradford spent several weeks in the hospital first with weights on her foot and later in body cast. Short ly after the cast was put on she was removed to her home. When the eX- plosiOn occurred, she had just been bathed and her back was being rub- bed with alcohol by Mrs E. J. Davis

Oklahoma Visitors
 Enjoy Alaska Trip

M. 0. Dawson of the First Ma tional Bank of Custer City, Oklaho- ma, and Mrs. Dawson were roundtrip passengers cn the Aleutian Thursday evening, members of the Farmer Stockman tour, comprising LIS from Oklahoma, in charge of Clarence Roberts, editor of the farm paper at Oklahoma City.
 The party travelled by special train as far as Glacier National Park which they visited before coming on to the coast.
 MT. Dawson stated that he was not prepared for the majestic and beautiful scenery of the Alaska trip. Nothing he had ever read had begun to do justice to the lavishness of Mother Nature in pouring out Sucn beauty for the thousand-mile Inside Passage.
 While the Aleutian was in port at Wrangell MT and Mrs. Dawson were guests of Mrs. J. w. Pritchett, to whom they had letters of introduc- tion from her cousin, G. c. Hostut- Ter, of Custer City.

ing accepted employment by a group of Indian fishermen, members of his own race, who because of that fact had great faith in him. In the in- terest of his clients Paul brought claim against a packing company and obtained judgment of 2,153 cases of salmon. the complaint sets forth and further alleges that hay ing obtained the judgment he con- Verted the proceeds of the sale of the salmon, some $3,000, to his own use without making accounting to his clients.
 Novel Defense
 Judge Alexander characterized Pauls answer to the complaint to be a "noVel defense;" namely, that all but two of his clients had no valid claims against the funds obtained from the sale of the salmon, and that he, as attorney, was unable to make accounting because he could not determine to whom such ac- counting should be made,
 The Court declared such a defense, challenging the rights of his own clients, is hardly acceptable, and though 1t might have been found valid had but a short time elapsed during which the defendant had op- portunity to make accounting, in the case before the Court, Paul let six years elapse without, as he cat egorlcally admitted in his own an swer, making such accounting.
 "Offense such as that sustained against the defendant in this para. graph of the complaint, is particul. arly grave, the Judge declared"
 In view of the evidence, Judge Alexander said, the Court must con. cur that the conclusions of the com mittee appointed to try the case were right and proper" and the defendant was given every opportun ity for defense on the merits of thC lease.

Holzheimer Declares Liquor Laws
 Must Be Fully Enforced

ed by any license by any of the
 forbidden classes, or the pres
 ence of any intoxicated person
 on such premises, shall be
 cause for revocation of such li
 cense, and further, that any per
 son attending any grade or high
 school shall be considered less
 than 21 years of age, and the
 burden of determining the age
 shall be on the licensee.
 (2) 1t shall be unlawful to
 permit any person under the age
 of 21 years to enter any Bever-
 age Dispensary unless the said
 minor is accompanied by his
 parent or guardian.
 Says Law Is Plain
 The law is plain on these points" declared MT. Holzheimer. No ore under 21 years of age may have li- quor to drink. A wife, under Fl years of age, cannot be given or sold a drink of any intoxicating liquor, any more than she could before her marriage. She is still a minor. Her husband may take her into a beer parlor, the same as a parent or guardian may take children, but minors positively may not be allowed to drink. Nor may a married woman under 21 enter a beer parlor with out her husband"
 MT. Holzheimer stated that the provision forbidding the presence of any intoxicated person on the premises would be strictly enforced. It makes no matter where a person drinking becomes intoxicated. He cannot be permitted to enter the premises nor remain after entering. and it is the duty of those in charge of the premises to enforce the pro- vision. Otherwise, it is the duty of the deputy marshal or town enforce ment officers to prefer charges against the Nesnsse.

ing from topnotchers who hold
worlds marks in their various
events down to local talent which
has shattered sectional standards
here and there, record breakers
of every shape and variety will dot
the landscape Saturday when the
National A. A. U. track and field
championships are decided here

Attracted by the prospects of a
summer abroad-the prize await
ing approximately IS of the stand
out performers-the meet today
had drawn an entry list, the bril-
liancy of which seldom has been
equalled even in an Olympic year.
Fifteen men will be chosen to
compete in Japan, another team
of 10 will be picked to tour Eng
land, France and Switzerland while
a third group of eight or nine will
be selected to visit the Scandina-
Wan countries.
With this lure added to the at
traction Of the regular A. A. U.
medals - national championship
prizes are as big as cartwheels-
it is no wonder that the conteS-
tants include "a men who among
themselves have equalled or bet
tered no less than 80 world rec
ords.
The list numbers Forrest
Towns and Bob Osgood in the
hurdles; Eulace Peacock in the
100-meters; Cornelius Johnson,
Mel Walker, Ed Burke and Dave
Albritton in the high jump; Bill

They Want Manush

Then up in Brooklyn, the Flat
bush fans have Bill Terry on the
griddle in such a manner that he
is sure by now that Brooklyn, in
deed, is in the National League,
something he was not so sure
about two years ago.
The Brooklynites can't see how
Memphis Bill overlooked Heinie
ManuSh in naming his National
League outfield for July Z, what
with Heinie's 1853 batting average
at the moment Terry was making
up his mind. Why, only last Sun
day in Chicago Manush slowed
down to a walk with a mere six
hits.
On his last Western trip,
ManuSh kept his batting figure for
the jaunt at $40, which leaves
Terry accused of leaning toward
Jo-Jo Moore, with a $40 average
and Mel OFT merely knocking the
pill for a binding .239.
From this distance it would seem
as though ManuSh would have
been an ideal choice for the Ma
tional League outfield, what with

GRIST OF THE GRIFFS

That pass was followed by one to
Cronin, and then Jimmy Foxx
crashed his second home run in
consecutive days.
Three runs on one hit Is a
pretty fair percentage in any COM
pany.
Newsom hit the left field fence
for double in the first half of
the fifth. He and Yves Terrell
then shook hands as by pre-game
agreement. The crowd thought a
fight was brewing when WeS
walked out to meet NeWsom at
second base.
Yves Terrell pitched one Of the
best curve balls of his career when
he struck out Jimmy FoXx in the
fifth inning. It was three and
two with the bases loaded, and
Foxx was looking for a fast ball.
But up came a down breaking
curve ball and FoXx was COM
pletely fooled.
Lewis arched a fly into short
left that dropped in for a two
base hit, but Kuhel was a soft
touch and ended the inning with a
fly to Cramer in center field.
Melo Armada probably is the
best outfielder in the business
when it comes to cutting across
a ground ball and picking it up.
AS a matter of fact, few infielders
excel Armada in this art of the
game.
How do major league pitchers
act before these "grudge games?
Well, Yves Terrell and Prof. Monte
Weaver played couple Of games
of checkers to while away the
time. Yves played one draw and
won one.
The fans got their first thrill
when Mills dragged a bunt past
the box and was thrown out on a
fine play, Yves Terrell to Joe
Kuhel.
Kramer gave Kuhel a chance
on a hot smash down the first
base line. Looked for a moment
as if that ball might get through.
McNair scratched a hit in the
third inning on a high bounder
that Buddy Lewis played fast but
failed to hold. It was one Of those
split second plays that the player
has to make.
There was more booing and
bowling over this game than there
was once when the Cubs played
the Giants; when the Yankees.
played the Browns and the Dodgers
played on the Polo Grounds.
Earl McNeeley was on first base
oaching line yesterday with
Bucky Harris on third base. This
is the way the men will work for
the rest of the year, in all proba-
bility. Third base is the hot spot,
but the leader belongs on the hot
spot.

They turned back the clock at
Griffith Stadium, and gave us a
ball game of the days when Griff
himself was pitching for the Chi
cago White Sox; when Richard.
son and Rowe and the other stall
warts of the old days were in their
hey day. For two hours and So
minutes an audience of $4,000 fans
sat and thrilled to one of the great
est ball games ever played. If the
all-star battle is half as good it
will be a marvel.
Frank DobSon, one time major
league ball player, and one Of the
cannieSt judges of baseball that
you will meet in a long time, said
it was the greatest game ever
played. Well, maybe it wasn't
that good, but it will do until some.
thing better comes along.
Buddy Lewis was superb at third
base. What a travesty that the
youngster was not picked for in
field work on the all star squad.
Talk about Collins, Devlin, Dugan
and Traynor. Buddy matched
them all!
Frank Higgins Joined Jimmy
Foxx among men who struck out
in the pinch. In the first half of
the seventh with runners on sec.
ond and third Yves Terrell gave
Higgins a fast breaking curve and
fooled him completely.
Wonder why Melo Armada tried
to bunt so many times against
NewSom?
Eric McNair made a real play,
one Of many during the ball game.
In the seventh inning Lewis stole
second and DeSautelS made a bad
throw. McNair, however, backed
up and prevented Lewis from 60
ing to third, or home.
Fred Sington's single started the
GriffS on their way in the second
frame. It was an arching blow
that dropped in center field. Travis
ripped triple that bounced away
from Colonel Mills.
Chapman kept up a running
fire of chatter with the Washing
ton bench as he logged down to
first on his fourth inning pass.
