ReMLM4au
COURT
in the Strange Case OF
ssHOP-FIELD HOMICIDE"
Continued From Page Elshtl

This de-
cision of the lower court was
affirmed by the higher court, in
which the Stewart ranch was freed
of all responsibility for Gulley
Hughes death. Mrs. Hughes not
only lost the decision, but the
damages she asked, one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars.
The widows counsel argued that
the service requested Of her hus-
band was unsafe, dangerous and
hazardous. They claimed that John
Stewart. the ranch owner, was neg
ligent in not fully acquaintlng
Hughes with the dangerous mission
he was undertaking.
The court had no difficulty in
showing that Stewart concealed
nothing from Hughes and that the
latter was well aware of the condi-
tons at the ranch. Quoting from
the record, the court said: MANY
necessary employments are notorl-
ously hazardous in the very nature
of things, and certainly, it is not
the law that the mere fact of en-
ploying one to render such a service
constitutes negligence"
Hughes was engaged in a dan
gerous business. It evidently was
his chosen vocation as is the work
OF fremen and regular officers of
the State and Federal government
His death was the price he paid for
doing the work he liked best.
This is taken from a true case.

Proposed Closing Of Winton
School Expected to be
Considered Again.

A special meeting Of the school board
of District No. y will be held Monday
night to consider teachers and con-
tracts for the 1904 term, it was de-
cided at the regular session for March,
conducted last Monday.
The proposed closing OF the Winton
school is also expected to be taken up
at this meeting, for the entire slate OF
teachers cannot be decided upon until
the Winton matter is disposed of.
Both subjects received considerable
discussion at the regular meeting. De-
cIining enrolment at Winton brought
the matter TO head last summer, but
it was decided, after considerable OPP
position developed to closing the school,
that it would be kept open for the
present term
Declining enrolment within the Ely
schools, which viii continue, according
to figures compiled by school officials,
has created problem within the system
in regard to the staff of teachers.
Aside from the informal considera-
ton of teachers and the Winton pro-
posal, the board occupied itself only
with routine business. The Vermilion
Electric Shop was given its final pay
ment of s10935 on the football field
lighting job, upon the recommendation
of Architect j. c. Taylor, Hibbing, after
Chairman T. Ahola took the rather
unusual procedure Of temporarily giving
up his seat, appointing Ivan Tauzell
chairman, and then offering a motion
that the bill be allowed
The payment of this architects GER
tificate for the Electric Shop has been

involves extras for excavating muck and

The motion carried by a 80 vote.
Miss Althea Bush, instrumental in

for the remainder of the year to enroll
in the Duluth Teachers college for the

RIVER
CAMP DISBANDS
Federal Order Removes Camp
From This Area; Gegoka
Camp to Remain.

The Portage River CCC camp will be
disbanded sometime between March 81
and July l, according to an announce
ment made by Director j. j. McEntee
in Washington, the Duluth News
Tribune reports.
According to information received by
The Miner from Clare Hendee, Duluth,
supervisor Of the Superior National
Forest, the U. S. forest service had
planned to move the camp TO Tofte
lake on the Fernberg Trail in event
Company I'll was not to be disbanded.
The order from Washington, however,
permanently removes the camp from
this area. Also slated to go is Com
pany 3703 on the Baptism river near
Isabella. Two of the eight camps in
the Superior National Forest will be
diSbanded.
Movements Of camps between loca-
tons or determination Of which camps
will be disbanded are based on priority
lists prepared by the officials of each
national forest, Hendee said. These
priorities are based largely upon the
location of the individual camps and
the remaining high priority work yet to
be done within a reasonable travelling
distance of that camp.
The Portage River camp had been
operated since the CCC was established
in 1888. Reason for the cut in number
of camps, which will total about 800
for the entire country, is a recon-
mended 100000 cut in the budget.
The fiscal year ends June 80.
The Gooseberry Falls state park camp
and two in the Chippewa National
Forest are to go.
Camps on the Superior forest to be
retained include Gegoka, Co. 704, south
of Ely; Gunflint, Co. 712, Grand Marais;
