Pleads Own Case and Invites Judge and Defense to Fish Fry Ed. Kazmirski, riverside resident at the foot of Missouri avenue, plead ed his own case before Justice G. S. Collins yesterday and won. The court allowed him $20 for towing the Boy Scouts' launch from a sandbar to the Kazmirski dock. The craft broke from its moorings at Gibson and drifted down stream to an island opposite Missouri avenue. The scouts refused to pay Kar mirski for his services and they re covered the boat on a writ of re plevin. The hearing resulted in an amicable settlement Kazmirski told the court that the Missouri is a government stream and he based his claim against the scouts on the laws of salvage. He contend ed that his claim of $25 was only nominal, considering his skill as a river man. He accepted the $20 and invited Justice Collins and the officers of the local council of Boy Scouts to a fish bake at his cottage.
