"man-deyouring lake" White men

freighters and little fishing tugs

the history OF the "man-devouring
lake"

JUDGMENT GIVEN
FOR DEFENDANT
Husband Loses In Attempt
TO Regain Interest
In Property

A judgment in favor of the de-
PENDANT in the case of Frank Dau-
gerdas against Mary Daugerdas was
rendered today by Judge Carl Foster
of superior court. The plaintiff first
brought action in April of 1889,
seeking a half-interest in some
property which he claimed belonged
jointly to his wife and himself. He
stated that the time when the prop
erty was conveyed to them, in 1928
the legal title to it was vested only
in his wife, partly to avoid any at
tachment by creditors for debts that
Daugerdas might later owe. However,
according to his complaint, the pur-
chase price was paid from money
earned by both himself and his wife,
and at the time it was acquired,
Mrs. Daugerdas orally agreed to
give his his half interest whenever
he demanded it. It is also his claim
