THE BRIDGE FIGHT.
The Several Points of Location in
the Contest.

Ihe Several Points of Location in
the Contest.
The fight over the location of a bridge
across the Minnesota river, the building
of which it is expected the legislature
will authorize, is creating quite an an
timated discussion. There are now four
factions trying to have the bridge lo-
Gated where it will do them the greatest
convenience and their property the
greatest good. The Lyndale bridgeites
want the bridge to be built at
McCloud's crossing in Bloomington
township and claim it will better accom-
modate farmers living in the east end of
Scott, north Rice, and west Dakota
counties than at any other place, while
it can be built at this point cheaper
than at any other, $4,000 being con-
Will have meeting at 242 Hennepin
avenue this morning. The other points
advocated are at Bloomington Ferry,
further up the river, connecting the
towns of Bloomington and Eagle
Creek. The objection urged to this
is that it does not accommodate Dakota
and Rice county, and the distance from
Minneapolis is greater.
1t is urged against locating the bridge
at Cedar avenue that the street must be
first opened for several miles before it
reaches the river, and that the road
will strike Amelia and Mother lakes,
and cross the swampy meadows; also
that its cost will be very great compar-
atively, $50, 900 being the lowest estimate.
The same objections largely are made
to the location of the reservation at the
Black Dog crossing, while the distance
to st. Paul would be less than to Min

DISTRICT COURT BRIEFS.

In March, 1888, j. Hyde and James
L: Monroe sold a lot at the corner of
Ridgeway and Franklin avenue to
Wayland Augir. 1t was thought the
lot was ninety-five in length on Frank
lin avenue. and was so described in the
contract. Irving E. Howe has pnr-
chased the property on the same state
ment. The widow and children of
Monroe, at his death, fell heir to his
property, and now claim that the lot is
more than ninety-five feet long, and
claim strip On its western extremity.
Irving Howe has. therefore, brought
action requesting the court to adjudge
him owner of the whole property.
The l.. G. Mueller Furnace company
has sued w. FL. Lynn for 81, 1,O02.S SO.
Adam Schotte has filed papers pray
ing of the court that Ottilie Miessner be
required to set forth her claim to GER
tain property of which he is owner in
Silver Lake addition to Minneapolis
that the court may decree it void.
E. S. Corser has brought suit in the
district court asking for Judgment that
a contract entered into with D, r..
Young be void, and 6aabarring him from
any right to Lot No. g. in block IL of
Oak Park addition to Minneapolis. The
complaint states that the parties entered
into contract which would transfer the
lot to Young and furnish him with
building material. The lot is valued at
$1,000 and the material at $3.50, none of
which has been paid.

A LANDSLIDE.
Innocent Purchasers Of Lots in

Victims.

Bakers Fourth Addition the
Victims.
Judge Young fled decisions yester-
day in thirteen cases of G. W. Morris
and others against parties who had
bought property in Bakers Fourth ad-
dition to the city. The cases are all of
similar nature, being suits brought to
quiet title to the property under dis
pute. In 1865 r. j. Baldwin acquired
by tax deeds and otherwise pretended
paper title to a large portion of the
property, and on these got it vacated by
the court. In 1866 he transferred the
property to Andrew Il. Hale, and in 1882
Mrs. Hale sold it to Willis Baker, who
plated it out and sold it to various per-
sons. 6. W. Morris, with the other
heirs OF the family, set up claims to be
owners in fee simple, and the court
holds, that as they appear to have
record title in the property, they are
the owners, though the other parties
bought the lots of Mr.. Baker in good
faith. Minnie d. Rocks set up a claim
to three lots in block 45 of the addition;
W. 81. Thompson to one in block 50; w.
Z. Sparks to five lots in block 46; Hannah
johnson to three lots in block %; jose
phine Lucker to lot in block 80;
Charles Wilcox to a lot in block 29;
Sophia Barrite to lot in block 46;
William Harlow to a lot in block so,
and Charles S. Jacobs to three lots in
block 26. In all these the defendants
claims were set entirely aside, as it was
also in the case of George II. Gilmore.
In the case of II. j. Fellows, the de-
fendant was adiudged entitled to pay
for improvements on the property. and
Matthew Dale was adjudged the right
full owner of his lot.

The Dance Given by Company G,
Nj. N. G., a Pleasant Affair.
The grand military ball given by the
veterans who compose Company G at
Armory hall last evening was pleas
ant affair and we'll attended. The ex-
hibition drill began early in the even
ing, and occupied about an
hour, and it proved that the
old soldiers had not forgotten
what they learned between '61 and rs.
The social party after the drill was very
pleasant, many of the gentlemen pres
ent being in uniform, adding to the
beauty of the dances. There were eigh-
teen numbers on the programme. The
supper was furnished by the ladies of
Plummer post, and was goodly spread
worthy of the gallants and fair ladies
who partook of it. Many of the mem
bers of Companies A and 3 were pres
ent, as well as number of the officers in
the national guards. Adjt. Gen. Mullen
graced the ball with his presence.
About 800 guests were at the armory
during the evening. Capt. A. J. Creigh
was master OF ceremonies. The recep-
ton committee consisted of First Lieut..
II. N. Avery, Second Lieut.. J. G. Graves,
First Sergeant A. B. Applln. Sergeant
J. T. Gleeson, Sergeant j. FL. Will, F.
P. EckarG and Fred A. Heeber; the
floor committee of Sergeant NJ. d. Cor
key, Sergeant G. S. Maxson, G. G.
Wright and W. J. Metzger. Music was
furnished by Thyle & Ringwall's full
orchestra.

People Who Cannot Get Along
With Each Other.

Alpha NJ. Mayo has commenced ac-
ton for divorce from her husband,
George H. Mayo. The complaint filed
in the case states that the couple have
been married for twelve years, and Mrs.
Mayo is but twenty-seven years old, and
that there are four children living as
the issue of the marriage. The COM
plant is adultery which the plaintiff
charges her husband as having commit
ted at Carver over a year ago. She
says he is now living with another
woman at that piece, and while living
with her is leaving his wife and chill
dren in destitute circumstances. She
asks for the custody of the children and
reasonable alimony.
Pauline and Carl Maschke were mar
ried over thirty years ago at Bromberg,

and, though they have lived together
till the present time, are to appear to-
day in the court in divorce proceedings
brought by Pauline against her hus-
band. They have lived in Minneapolis
for the past five years. The complaint
is brought on the ground of ill-treat-
ment and the fact that the husband is

Judges Lochren and Hicks, of the
district court, are absent just at present
on junketing tour, and are sailing
around in the boundless west in the
special car of Judge j. d. Springer,
general solicitor of the Minneapolis &
st. Louis road, in company with that
gentleman and a few others. It is
stated that this trip means something,
SO far as Judge Lochren is concerned,
and that on his return it is
not improbable that he will resign his
position on the bench. 1t is known
that the management of the Manitoba
road has offered Judge Lochren the po-
sition of general solicitor of the com
pany at a salary of $4,000, nearly four
times as much as the judge receives
from his iudgeship. 1t is known also
that the judge has talked over the mat
ter of resignlng with some of his init
mate friends.
1t is also rumored that John P. Rea,
not at all satisfied with the reception
which his decisions have met in the su-
preme court, is seriously considering
the adviSability of reSigning from the
bench. Be this as it may, some OF the
attorneys who were sadly disappointed
in not being selected when the recent
appointments to the bench were made
by Gov. Merriam, are again hustling
around at a great rate, and laying their
wires of future-possibly not far dis

A Serious Blow.

PITTsBURG, Pa, March 15.-The fail
ure of the miners and the operators to
agree upon scale of wages at the Col

ed as constituting one of the most seri-

burg has received for several years.
The operators from this region who at
tended the convention returned home
to-dav. They say that the failure to
agree upon price means that each op-
orator will hereafter act for himself,
and that means the cutting of the sell
ing price of coal and mining, and, pos
