ish some Intelligence concerning this
new and important enterprise which
will be extremely gratifying to the citi-
zens Of Minneapolis and the people liv>

for an iron bridge across the Mississippi
at Sauk Rapids, and making prepara~
ton for surveying third line lying be-
tween the two heretofore mentioned. in

ersed by each. After the notes Of the
| three surveys are completed, the route

Of October, and thereafter work will be
| commenced on the light cuts, in order

Head VS.. IA enOSha.

| Dan Head has sued the city of Keno.
sha on bill of exchange, drawn in
1876 by one JAS. P. Lowe on
Q. G. King, then mayor of the city, for
$4,000. Lowe owned a tug, at that
time employed on the harbor improve
ments, and this amount was for the
last months services of the tug. The
draft was sent on to the First Nation
al Bank Of this city for collection and
the books of the bank show that it was
duly paid. The stub book of the city
clerk shows that an order was drawn
on the city treasurer for the amount
/ Of the draft and delivered to @. G.
King. The treasurer, Andrew Schof-
fen, states that his books show that
this order was duly cashed by him,
but who presented it he does not re-
member. The report Of the finance
committee of that year, of which com :
mittee Harvey Durkee was chairman,
shows that all these vouchers passed
through their hands and the accounts
OF the treasurer were pronounced COR
rect, including the item of $4,000 for
the payment of this draft. Harvey
Durkee claims that he as chairman Of
the finance committee, borrowed the
money to take up this draft from Dan
Head & Co., giving his own note there
for and attaching the draft as collat-
teral security. Andrew Schoffen
claims that this was not necessary as
lover $1,000 was at that time lying in
the First National Bank to the credit
Of the city. The city officials all claim
that the draft was paid at the time
and as three years have elapsed since
the transactions above detailed, the
matter looks little fshy. The trial
will doubtless develop many interest
ing incidents Of which the general
lpublic have been ignorant. j. V.
Quarles appears for the plaintiff while
the interests Of the city are represented
by Baker & Warvelle, the city attor-
neys. 1t will probably be brought to
trial at the next term of the Circuit
Court.

WHY Not ?-Many years ago the

WHY Nor MANY years ago the
vicinitylof Pike Creek, was the loca-
ton Of a thriving community with
stores, warehouses, &C., and good pros
poets for the future. The superior at
fractions at Southport drew away
most of the colony and the project OF
| town was abandoned. Since then
Kenosha has grown up to the site of
the old settlement, and the question
of the improvement of Pike creek and
| adjacent country once more becomes
pertinent. AS a real estate specula-
tion nothing could be better. A broad
flowing stream with ample bottom en-
vironed by high banks offers unsur-
passed facilities for commerce. The
land surrounding is high and dry, with
a good natural drainage. The portion
Of the stream not used for navigation
could be damned and an excellent water
power obtained. Strangers visiting
the spot invariably comment on it's ap-
titude for commercial and manufac-
turing purposes, while the project of a
harbor has been pronounced feasible
by government engineers. The new
town would have as ample railroad
facilities as Kenosha, while the direc-
ton and current of the stream would
obviate the difficulties that have al
ways been experienced in our harbor.
AS site for manufacturers it is unex-
celled and land could be obtained in
sufficient quantities at very reasona-
bic prices. The project is by no means
visionary and would only be the COM
pletlon of what was begun forty years
ago. A town located at this point
would materially benefit Kenosha and
add to the prosperity of the entire
county.

CANINE THIEVES COM
plants have been made lately in re-
gard to sudden disappearance of val
liable dogs. Several gentlemen who
during the past year rejoiced in the
possession of blooded dogs, now mourn
their loss, while no clue can be found
as to their whereabouts. Geo. W
Warvelle had valuable black an6
tan stolen last week, which was sub.
sequently traced into the hands of one
Roberts residing on Mechanic street
and recovered by legal process. Good
dogs command high prices in the
cities and it behooyes every owner of
fancy CANNES to be on his guard
against these light fingered gentry.
