Four girls, Miss Snow, Miss Mc- Kechnie, Miss Phyllis Friend and! Miss Maxine Lund, went out on the swimming excursion together, although Miss Snow did not intend to go swimming. The other three paddled about for a time, until two of them tired and got into the boat which Miss Snow was rowing about.

Mr. White incorporated” the of- fending article in his complaint He is acting for himself in the suit. Charges Malicious Defamation The complaint charged that| Heard wrote and published the| [ “fallowing false, malicious and| defamatory articles, matters, state-| ments and things concerning the plaintiff, to wit: ‘He, (meaning| the plaintiff), earned the name of “Blood Money” when he start- ed up a collection agency in Ju-| neau, (meaning plaintiff’s cred:(‘ and collection business operated| by plaintiff as attorney at law),| alleged to be the most cold-heart- ed, extortioning outfit of its kind m the Territory of Alaska, “ ‘It is recalled that “Blood Mon- ey” was at one time the Republi- can Marshal of this Division, Dur- ing the latter part of his term there were some agents from the Department of Justice in Wash- ington, D. C., in Juneau probing beneath the surface of things. It is alleged they were very curinu%i | about the activities while in the | office of “Blood Money” White | As it so happened this investiza- | tion came to naught, but then it/ is not though very likely that Washington would send agents up| here so they might enjoy a few| weeks the fresh, pungent northern| atmosphere. (Meaning despite said| investigation came to naught, the | plaintiff was corrupt and dishon- | est in his previous capacity United States Marshal . .) ! Owned Too Much Property | | “‘It is said that one time| “Blood Money” owned a business of his own, as well as a fine ca- bin out on the road. It is not| quite understood by many how on| a Marshal's salary allows for thesz | little expenditures. (Meaning the plaintiff as Marshal corruptly and! dishonestly obtained money other | than his salary as marshal) | as “‘It is also recalled that the] Investigators (meaning the afore- said Department of Justice inves- tigators) said to have been most | interested in the amount of money that was spent for repairs on the Marshal's boat, which was paid by the Government.’ (Meaning the plaintiff as Marshal corruptly and dishonestly caused to be spent on said Marshal’s boat)” Mr. White charged that this ar- ticie was writlten and published and distributed by Heard with the intent to injure and defame the plaintiff and his business as at- torney at law. He further alleges that his business was injured and he himself and his family greatly annoyed and the article “injured him in the community. . .and made him the object of contempt and ridicule and has caused plaintiff’s family great mental suffering.” R A “RUN 1,000 MILES AND WIN LETTER,” SO THIS BOY DID AUSTIN, Tex., July 27.—Cldye J. Littlefield, head track coach at the University of Texas, is strong for men with spirit. Littlefield tells of one of his track candidates to whom he made the promise in his freshman year of a letter if he ran 1,000 miles. The runner, a two-miler, was far from an outstanding prospect. But | he was a glutton for running, and refused to give up. 1 In his last year he ran his best {and placed fourth in the conference meet. Littlefield decided to give him a letter. “Well, I've done it,” the told Littlefield the next de “Yes,” Littlefield replied. “You made your letter and you deserve‘ it.” “That’s not what I'm talking about,” the runner came back. “Re- member you told me if I ran 1,000 miles I'd make a letter? Well, that race yesterday put me over the top.” runner ————— TWO MEN MISSING Mrs. Lottie M. Spickett, post- mistress, is in search of informa- tion regarding two men, who have dropped out of sight.
