Something About DR.. Bryant
and His Action Against
the Council.
The Candidates Who Are
Claiming Support on the
Peoples Ticket.

Z City Attorney SchrOll, OF South st.
Paul. returned last evening from Hast
ingS, where he argued against the issu-
ance of the injunction asked by Nor
man l.. Bryant to prevent the South st.
Paul council from completing Con-
cord avenue in front of the
Duane Iron works. He said:
The applicant is a son of
of DR.. ]. Ii. Bryant, and the court rec
Ords show that the title is vested in said
son. l cannot state positively at this
moment, as the abstracts are not at
hand, but think that most, if not all of
the Concord avenue frontage to which
j. Fl. Bryant has publicly laid claim is
on record as owned by N. L.. Bryant, the
Clark-Bryant Improvement company "a
corporation of divers owners and
others. | wouldn't bother much
to contrOvert the claims of the doctor,
who has an exaggerated idea Of these
matters. l really think that any OF the
South St.Pau officials have just as much
property as he has, and they include
old and influential residents. whose free
and clear real estate would foot into
many thousands or dollars"
Aid. WaterOus. of South st. Paul, is
the weil-known manufacturer Of steam
fire engines. two of which have reached
the distinction of being sold to st. Paul
proper. He has been accused Of selling
engines to his own city, TWO before he
became an alderman and one since.
He don't deny it, and he says he is
willing to sell his friends anything he
has, but when he sold the third engine
referred to he had the vote of every
member of the council except his own.
He declined to vote. They got better
and cheaper machines than they could
get anywhere else, thereforefore home
industry secured the business. His
term does not expire this season, so he
does not worry about anything except
unjust aSpersions against his integrity.
