man who was recently indicted for robbing a
friend of his bank book and then drawing q
sum Of money from the Hennepin County
Savings bank, has been confined at Cottage

Alderman Pillsbury, who formed member
OF the committee from the city council sent to
Chicago to investigate the pavement question,
and decide from the experience Of that city re-
specting the most preferable and economical
materials, appeared considerably "put OUT
and frustrated at the last meeting of the coun-
ell, when he found that Aldermen Glenn and
Hangar and City Engineer Rinker had also
bten to that city and had given the
| matter at least three times the attention
as to careful investigation-they having
spent three days in looking 1t up, while he
and his committee had only occupied one day.
Aid. Glenn stated that he was told by Mr..
Cheney Of Chicago, that that gentleman had
been misrepresented by Mr.. Blakeley in his
report, by placing him on record as being al
moet unqualifi edly In favor Of cedar blocks IS
its being the most economical. Mr.. Cheney
thinks cedar blocks made a very
good pavement, but granite YVES
especially on streets subjected to anything
like heavy traffic, was not not only much

block pavements had only been attained from
using beneath the blocks foundation Of

OF his wagon aud drove to this city. The
COW was compelled to walk along side the
wagon, and the roads being quite slippery,
the bovine was somewhat 10th to walk up as
promptly as suited the driver OF the team, so
he exercised his bucolic muscle in beating her
with heavy club. This was the condition OF
affairs when the attention OF gentleman was
attracted. The gentleman demonstrated
against such treatment, and made cnrsory
examination OF the COW. BE found that the
rope had eaten it's eize into the flesh OF the
cow and that her sides were badly scratched
by coming in contact with the wagon wheel.
Her back was covered with crael ridges In
dnced by the blows of the man. His remon-
strances Only had effect to call upon himself
the abuse of the mans timber tongue. The
services of Officer Chase were
called into reqnisition. The man
thought he could ''thump" the crowd
but evidently changed his mind when the iron
hand of the law was laid upon him. He was

cease his abuse OF the COW. The prisoner
said he bad no money, and was informed that

for his mother, aud finding that that
would no. be done, he concluded to pay his
fine, and produced the cash.
