THE VETERANS BALL.
The Dance Given by Company G,
NJ. n. G., Pleasant Affair.

The grand military ball given by the
veterans who compose Company G at
Armory hall last evening was a pleas
ant affair and we'll attended. The ex-
hibition drill began early III the even
ing, and occupied about an
hour, and it proved that the
old soldiers had not forgotten
what they learned between '61 and '65.
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 men,
berS of Companies 4 and B 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-
tion committee consisted of First Lieut..
b. n. Avery, Second Lieut.. J. g. Graves,
First Sergeant A. B. Applin, Sergeant
J. I. Gleeson, Sergeant j. II. VIII, F.
P. Eckart and Fred A. Heeber: the
floor committee of Sergeant NJ. D. Cor
key, Sergeant q. S. MaXson, G. G.
Wright and w. J. Metzger. Music was
furnished by Thyle & RingwalFs full
orchestra.

DISTRICT COURT BRIEFS.

In March, 1888, j. Hyde and James
L. Monroe sold lot at the corner of
-Ridgeway and Franklin avenue to
Wayland Augir. 1t was thought the
lot was ninety-fve 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 adiudge
him owner of the whole property.
The L. c. Mueller Furnace company
has sued w. ii. Lynn for s1,002.S9.
Adam Schotte has fled papers pray
ing Of the court that Ottilie Miessner be

district court asking for Judgment that
a contract entered into with d. r.
Young be void. and debarring him from
any right to Lot No. 9. in block II of
Oak Park addition tc r1lnneapolis. The
complaint states That the parties entered
into E contract which would transfer the
let to Young and furnish him with
building material. The lot is valued at
S., 600 and the material at $50, none of
which has been paid.

WANT SEPARATION.
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 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,
Germany, have raised seven children,
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
a habitual drunkard.

THE BRIDGE FIGHT.
The 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 To-
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
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-
Sidered fair estimate of the cost. They
viii 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, S60, 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
neapolis.

A LANDSLIDE.
Innocent Purchasers of Lots IN

innocent Purchasers of Lots in
Bakers Fourth Addition the
Victims.
Judge Young filed decisions yester-
day in thirteen cases of q. W. Morris
and others against parties who had
bought property in Bakers Fourth ad-
dition to the city. The cases are all of a
similar nature, being suits brought to
quiet title to the property under dis
pute. In 1865 +. 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 L. Hale, and in 1882
Mrs. Hale sold it to Willis Baker, who
plated it out and sold it to various per-
sons. g. w. Morris, with the other
heirs OF the family. set up claims TO be
owners i'll 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. II. Thompson to one in block 50; w.
Z. Sparks to five lots in block 46; Hannah
johnson to three lots in block IS: Jose
phine Lucker to a lot in block 80:
Charles Wilcox TO a lot in block 29:
Sophia Barrite to a lot in block 46;
William Harlow to a lot in block 80,
and Charles S. Jacobs to three lots in
block %. 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 t. j. Fellows. the de-
fendant was adjudged entitled to pay
for improvements on the property. and
Matthew Dale was adjudged the right
full owner of his lot,

Harry. otherwise Freddy" Hackett,
and Edward Kennedy, who were brought
back from Chicago for assaulting Pa
trolman Mclaughlin with intent to kill,
were yesterday morning arraigned in
the municipal court. The usual crowd
about the court room had dispersed,
leaving only few spectators and po-
Hcemen. Chief Bracket and Detectiye
Lawrence, who had returned from Chi
cago with the defendants. were present.
Clerk Rogers read the complaint to
the prisoners, but they appeared 10 re
gard it as matter of form, and heard
the grave charge read without betray-
ing any emotion. Kennedy's face was
serious and thoughtful, but 'Reddy''
stood on his feet with a swagger, and

A JUDICIAL FURRY.
One Vacancy. and Perhaps Two,
on the Hennepin Bench Likely.

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 few others. 1t is
stated that this trip means something,
so far as Judge Lechren 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 salary of $4,000, nearly four
times as much as the Judge receives
from his judgeship. 1t is known also
that the judge has talked over the mat
ter of resignng with some of his inti-
mate friends.
1t is also rumored that John P Rea,
not at all satisfied with the reception
which his decisions have met III the su-
preme court, is seriously considering
the advisability of FeSigning 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 great rate, and laying their
wires Of future-possibly not far dis
tant-camnaign.
