Earp’s one contact with pugilism brought him unforgettable renown. Earp’s so-called “raw” decision in the Bob Fitzsimmons-Tom Sharkey fight at San Francisco December 2, 1896, when he awarded the fight to Sharkey on a foul in the eighth round, caused @ roar that reverberated through the boxing world for years and excited as much comment in its day as the long gn ahaa aia toni at Chicago Part of Earp’s life ran parallel with that of Tex Rickard, and a last vain effort to send & word of cheer to his friend, the promoter, contributed to his death.

Tofsrud, Rugby, Pierce county, uncovers active sentiment in favor of such legislation. ‘This sentiment comes in support of the recommendation of Governor George F. Shafer in his message last ‘Wednesday wherein he expressed the opinion that “a practical plan for farm storage can be worked out un- der which certificates could be issued against grain stored on the farms. under conditions that would make them as valuable for security as stor- age receipts issued by bonded ware- houses.” “We need a bill of this nature,” Senator F. P. Conrath, Beulah, de- clared today. “Something needs to be done so that the farmer can get money without flooding his grain on the market at low prices immediately after Farm with threshing. storage a law making it readily possible for a farmer to secure money advance on stored grain should relieve conditions and be a decided aid to the farmers.” Provisions Important “Sentiment among the. legislators generally favors a grain storage bill to.provide money to the farmer with- ‘at }the state bar board by E.

A motion by Senator Hyland, Ram- sey county to thank the committee for its work was also carried. Senators Hamilton and Fowler in- troduced a bill permitting the erec- tion of dormitories at state educa- tional institutions by institutional holding associations. A bill providing for his was passed in 1927 but was held unconstitutional and the present bill is intended to remedy the first bill's defects. A resolution by Senator Patterson thanking the mill-fact finding com- mittee for its work was acopted un- animously. It was indicated that the committee members will be com- pensated for their expenses in an ap- propriation bill which will be in- roduced later. The senate adjourned a 2:42 p. m.
