'l{EART BLOW NOT CAUSE OF DEA Minneapolis, Minn., May 27.—The following telegram to a Minneapolis man from Harry E. Conway of North- leld, Minn., who witnessed the fatal fight between Luther McCarty and Arthur Pelkey, at Calgary, Alta, ex- plains itself: - Calgary, ‘Alta., May-27:—1 was at fight. The bout had scarcely gone a minute when the boxers clinched. Pelkey struck McCarty over the heart. An expression of pain passed over McCarty’s face. The men broke from the clinch, and as they did so, Pelkey struck McCarty a heavy left swing on the jaw. McCarty crouched as though in a fighting attitude, and then slow- 1y sank to the floor. Mrs. Ingram of Calgary, the foster motier of McCar- ty, was at the ringside. - When Mec- Carty fell she left the arena and at- tended a picnic thinking Luther was merely knocked out and would be all right in a few minutes. She did not learn of his death until she re-| turned. f The body was shipped tonight to Piqua, Ohio, McCarty’s birthplace and the home of his parents. The foregoing telegram would show. that McCarty was in bad shape fol- lowing the blow to the heart, and as +his body undoubtedly was relaxed when he was struck on the jaw, it ‘was comparatively easy for his neck to be broken by tlie blow on the chin.

B Surveyors who have been at work for the past few weeks laying out.the road from the Tamarack River coun- try through Kelliher and Blackduck to Farley, passed through Blackduck Sunday and expect to complete the work this week. The road is to-be con- structed under the Elwell law and is known as road number nine. ‘When. completed . it will- connect Beltrami county with Koochiching county through one of the most de- sirable sections and will be practical- 1y forty-six miles in length. Beltrami county was particularly anxious to see this road go through and was confronted for a time by lack of co- operation from residents of the neigh- boring county. All legal obstacles have now been done’ away with and both Beltrami and Koochiching county commission- e's have placed their stamp of ap- proval on the construction of this road. The matter is now in the hands of the state tax commission and it is understood that it is receiving the attention of this board today, in the city of St. Paul. This will give an outlet to farmers in the vicinity of the Tamarack River country, both in Beltrami and Kooch- iching county, to the hest markets. the road will be under:the supervision of-the- state highway commission.
