TRAPPERS WARNED
BY GAME WARDEN
DEER SEEN HERE ARE
PROTECTED FROM
DOGS, HUNTERS

In view of the fact that there
are a few deer along the Mime
sofa river and it is desirable to
protect and encourage their in
crease, the trapper who uses dogs
in pursuing raccOOn will run the
risk of running afoul of the law"
". H. QuiSt, game warden OF
Redwood and RecVille counties
said this week.
The law reads that dogs may be
used in taking raccOOn except IN
territory inhabited or" frequented
by deer"
The last deer reported was seen
recently by F. H. Shoemaker
about 20 rods from his home, five
miles west Of North Redwood. It
was a medium sized doe.
Mr.. QuiSt also reminds hunters
ard trappers Of the following
laws:
The season for taking mink and
raccOOn opened Monday. The sea-
son on mink will close February
IS and on raccoon December l.
No traps for mink shall be set
in any muSkrat house or runway.
Milk may not be dug from their
dens or taken with the aid of
dogs. No person shall modest or

CITY AND THORP
WIN DAMAGE
CASE IN COURT

The city of Redwood Falls and
H. D. Thorp were declared not
liable for injuries sustained by
Mrs. Alfred H. Johnson of Bel
view who broke her leg last year
in a fall on the Thorp corner by
a district court jury last week.
After L. J. Lauerman, attorney
for Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson who
were asking $4,000 rested his case
early last Thursday, the city was
freed of responsibility. City At
torney Leon H. Browns motion
that Judge Albert H. Emerson di-
recta verdict in favor of the city
was granted on the grounds that
plaintiffs had proved no liability
on the part of the municipality.
Thorp remained as defendant,
however.
Witnesses including Angus
Johnson, street worker, Thomas
Arnett Jr., policeman and street
commissioner, N. B. Andersen,
official weatherman, Mary Finn,
Gazette reporter, Henry Schroed-
er who cares for Mr.. Thorp's
walks and Ralph Becker Of the
Chevrolet garage who saw Mrs.
Johnson fall, filed to the stand
Thursday morning and afternoon
for the defense.
Their testimony was to the eff
feet that a small patch of ice
about eight by twelve inches was
the only one on the Thorp corner
at the time of the mishap and
that the. ice had not been there
IN the morning.
A. R. English of Tracy, Thorp's
attorney argued that Mrs. john
son was negligent.
The argument which is believed
to have won the case was that ice
had never formed there before,
that it was not a persistent nui-
sance and that therefore Thorp
was not negligent.
The jury retired a. about 3 p.
m. and returned at 5:45 p. m.
with the verdict, mo cause for
action"
In his closing argument Lauer-
man insisted that the ice was
formed by water dripping from
an awning gutter on the Thorp
building and that MIR. Thorp was
negligent in maintaining the de-
vice.

Eastern Cattle
Man Skips Town

Butterfield-A man who gave
his name as S. L. Simpson and his
address as Sykesville, Maryland,
left Butterfield recently with $50
more than he had when he came
to town.
Representing himeslf as cattle
buyer who intended to buy a car
load of rs good dairy COWS which
were to be shipped to Maryland,
he made inquiry as to whom he
could get to furnish car and
drive him around the county. He
was referred to Ubbe Hinrichs
who listened to the fellows story
and could see nothing of a suspic-
ious nature. The Butterfield man
accompanied him and in several
days had contracted for 81 head
to be picked up and shipped east.
No money changed hands in any
of the deals.
One day as they neared Darfur
Simpson remarked to Ubbe that
he was running low on expense
money and would have to cash a
check. Together they went into a
Darfur bank to cash a $50 check
which the bark did after Ubbe
endorsed it. The two returned to
Butterfield, but when Hinrich
started looking for Simpson to
make arrangements to pick up the
cattle, he learned that the fellow
had checked out of the hotel the
night before. Immediately a tele-
gram was sent to the bank at
Sykesville, Maryland, inquiring
about Simpson. Back came a let
ter saying that no S. L. Simpson
was known there, but that the
fellow had pulled the stunt be
fore. With this information a war
rant was sworn out for his arrest,
but as yet he has not been found

The whole law Of aviation the world

Laws Parted Company.
When Great Britain first enunciated
the theory OF air ownership in 1910
at an international conference on air
navigation IN Paris the law OF the sea
and the law Of the air parted COM
pany.
Whereas it would be considered an
unfriendly act for one nation to deny
entry to foreign surface ship to its
harbors, today practically every coun-
try in the world exercises the right
to ban entry Of foreign aircraft both
into the air above its boundaries and
onto its airports.

MARION, Va, June 17-Charges
in connection with the fatal shooting
Of William K. Taylor. SO. Mount Airy,
N. c., were dismissed against Rob-
ert Blevins, l8-year-old filling station
operator, here yesterday.
Trial Jastice Birchfield ruled that
there was not sufficient evidence to
hold Blevins for grand jury action.
Blevins, who has been at large on
$4,000 bond. admitted in court that
he shot Taylor but claimed self
defense.
The shooting occurred last Friday
morning at a filling station which
Blevins operated on.-half mile west
of Chilhowie. Taylor, shot in both
legs. died the next day at an Abb
ingdon hospital.
Blevins testified that Taylor, who
came to the filling station in COM
pany with two other men and three
women, was intoxicated and drew a
gun, threatening to kill MIN after
they became involved in an argu-
ment.

make it still more difficult problem
to deal with in the future"
Courts Too Slow, He Says.
Because Of the slowness Of correc-
tive procedure through the courts,
Morgenthau emphasized the desira-
bility Of legislation instead
Morgenthau took occasion to defend
the Treasurys error in overestimating
1887 income tax revenue by as much
as l0.4 per cent, first citing closer
estimates for preceding years and next
citing errors by as much ISL per cent
by the previous administration.
Confessing to feeling disturbed at
the returns of last March, Morgenthau
next told Of asking Magill to make a
survey with the resultant disclosure
that collection increases had Jagged in
areas Of concentrated wealth.
Concluding his prepared statement,
Morgenthau claimed the devices at is
sue have affected Government rev.
enues briefly as follows:
l. They create the belief that rich
men with expensive attorneys do not
have to pay taxes.
2. plausible devices spread rapidly
and tax evasion and avoidance IN
crease without any one realizing the
extent Of the impairment of tax ad-
ministration until the end of the tax
able year.
3. Vested interests grow up in tax
avoidance devices in the course of
time so that it becomes very difficult
to change them after they receive 4
semi-respectable standing
4. After tax avoidance devices have
become an accepted part Of tax law.
any attempt to change them is
heralded as persecution of the rich
5. These tax Gevises which defeat
the intent Of Congress cost the Gov
ernment huge sums which Congress
never actually intended to give away.
Moreover they create continual and
expensive litigation.

thau Immediately yielded to DR..
