First evidence of a reasonable run of any kind at Tee Harbor was revealed today as Paul Johnson brought in several fine tales of strikes and a small king to add credence to the story.
 Johnson said he was using strip fishing gear for a troll outfit, got three strikes, lost them and then landed the small king. Probably won't be long before they're strik- ing in the harbor as they are down by Point Bishop.
 Several large dollys, weighing m the pounds, were brought back from Montana Creek yesterday, with the tales that the run is just starting to begin. They were caught up in the headwaters of the stream, where it is reported there are many large ones lurking. The fish fought desperately, the nimrods claimed, and are in fine shape, not sluggish. Still good for the table.
 Aux Lake is still drawing a few of the after dinner fishermen who go out for a try in the evening. No reports are coming from peo- pie going into Windfau Lake, but it should be getting good. The

DECISION IN GR0S5 SUIT E REVERSED ]
 q ...sa ~

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, May B. The Circuit Court of Appeals today reversed the decision of an Alaska Court in which the jury awarded a judgment of $55,000 to w. D. Gross, Alaska theatre manager, against a manufacturer of motion picture and sound equipment. The case had been sent back to the Court for rehearing.
 The Electrical Research Products Inc, which licenses sound equip ment to the Gross Theatres in Ju- neau and Ketchikan, made claims against Gross that he did not pay the customary inspection and ad- justment fees, and removed the equipment.
 Then Gross sued for damages and two juries found decisions in his favor for his representation that the loss crippled his show business. The decision here was two to one against Gross. Justice Francis Gar recht, observer, dissented with the decision. The case has been tried twice, at Juneau, Alaska. and two juries found the case in favor of Gross.
 Information regarding the order for new trial in the now famous Gross -ERPI case was received today by J. A. Hellenthal, Juneau attor- ney.
 The case was started nearly ten years ago and has had two trials in the District Court in Juneau and has been appealed twice to the Cir cult Court of Appeals, San Francis co, where new trials were ordered.
 The order for new trial announce ed today is the result of the second hearing in the Circuit Court of San Francisco, February 20. In each of the lower court trials, Gross was awarded approximately $55 5000.
 The decision was that of a divided court, two judges favoring new trial and one affirming the judg- ment of the District Court in Ju- neau.
 AS the case now stands, unless a rehearing is ordered in the Circuit Court of Appeals, the case will be retried in Juneau.
 ERPI, appellant in the case, has been represented by H. H. Brieland, of New York. general solicitor for the Western Electric Company and by R. E. Robertson of Juneau.
 Gross's representatives are J. A. Hellenthal and Frank Foster, both of Juneau.
