JUDGE HooKEk's NEW ROOM.
1t Is Fittingly Dedicated With a
Genuine Law Suit.

Judge Hookers new court room in the ad
dition to the court house had been the scene
of one action at law. but yesterday the first
real legal battle in which the principals were
deadly enemies came off. 1t was the suit
brought by William A. Shaw against John
A. Moore, Christian Scientist, divorce con-
testant and bringer of damage suits, to re-
cover S97S for the board of Mrs. Moore and
child. 1t was fitting party for the dedlca-
ton Of the room. DIR" Moore's smooth
face and watery eyes were there. Mrs. Moore,
looking as pretty as ever in a neatly-ftting
spring ulster. her mother. and William A.
Shaw's smoothly wig were also pres
ent The litigants and their attorneys were
the same that have won fame through the
Moore divorce case and the Moore Clough
damage suit.
Part of the S97s sued for by Mr.. shaw was
for mouey advanced Mrs. Moore and her
daughter, but that part of the claim was
stricken out. Mr.. Shaws attorney then
went ahead and proved his case, and secured
judgment for his client for S44S. as pay
ment for the board of Mrs. Moore and child
for fifty-six months at SS per week.
When Moore was on the stand his attorney
attempted to introduce why Moore left his
wife, but he was choked off by F. P. Lane
with the remark:
1--WE are not trying the divorce case now"
A stay Of twenty days was granted.

FOR RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
The Board of Trade Committee
Takes a Trip.

The committee on navigation from the
board of trade, consisting Of Capt. J. c.
Reno, e. G. Whitney, Fl, A. Towne, w. E.
Steele, and Ezra Farnsworth, met Maj A.
Mackenzie, in charge of the United States
river improvements for the upper Mississippi,
YESTERDAY, and took a trip down the river to
ST. Paul. Measurements of the various stages
of water were taken from the point of start
ing to Minnehaha creek. The various plans
for the Improvement of the river were dis
cussed, and the lock dams proposed by Maj.
Allen were thought to be the only possible
way of bringing boats Of any size as far as
Washington avenue bridge. 1.-THE greatest
difficulty in the case, said Maj Mackenzie, is
the lack of money. There is about SIS, 900
in the treasury available for this purpose.
and bill is before congress now--and will
probably be epassed-appropriating S5O00O0
to improve the river from MINNEAPOLIS to
Keokuk rapids distance of about $50 miles.
Of this sum such proportion as is consid-
cred necessary by the engineers will be used
between Minneapolis and st. Paul. The
proposition made by Maj. Allen was to have
two dams, one at a point some 6 O
feet above the mouth of Minnehaha creek.
and one at the foot of Meeker island.
Mai Mackenzie, being asked if he thought
that navigation to Minneapolis would ever
be practicable, said: Il doubt it very much.
In fact, don't think any of the larger boats
would ever attempt to go up there. Even if
tne rOckS were TAKEN away hnG cams DullI
the current would be SO swift that they would
not dare to risk their boats But think the
money that would be expended would help
Minneapolis considerably, and number of
small boats could help keep the freight rates
on the railroads down. In fact, that is about
all they are doing down the river
The principal effect of the trip was to show
the engineers the exact situation, and to in
f1uence the government through them to get
for the upper Mississippi as large a portion
of the $500. 600 apprOpriation as nossible

TWO MOTOR SUITS.
One of Them Part Of the Famous
Skoglund Litigation.

The street railway company was fighting
another damage sniB in the district court
yesterday. On the 10th of September, 1887
Eliza d. Clarke was passenger
on the motor line. She got off at
Twenty-fourth street but was Injured in SO
doing. She claims that the train started
without her having been given ample time
to get off. By reason Of such start she 5;
claims that she was severely injured in her
spine. She brought suit to recover $40, 600
as damages and the case began yesterday
afternoon. a jury was impaneled and ad-
journment was taken until this morning.
The argument on motion to dismiss still
another suit against the motor company oc-
cupied all of yesterday morning in Judge
Lochrens court 1t was a suit brought by
Andrew Skoglund to reco7er $1,000. This
case in one from or another has been up in
court now four times.
About three years ago Skoglund and ms
wife were passengers on street car which
was struck by motor at Sixth street and
First avenue south. They were both in
jured. Skoglund began suit for damages
and secured verdict for $1,000. His wife
brought an action on the ground that her in
juries were of such nature as to preclude
the possibility of childbirth. The jury
awarded her $4,000. new trial was Sc
cured. and at the next hearing of the case it
was shown that subsequent to the time when
she was injured Mrs. Skoglund became preg-
nant and in consequence her verdict was
split in half and reduced to 81 900.
But Skogiund was out to still further
mulct the street railway company. SO he
brought another action to recover s. 900 as
recompense for the loss occasioned to him
by reason of his Wife's injuries. This was
the suit which came up yesterday morning.
Judge Koon moved to dismiss on the ground
that Skoglund could have and should have
made his claim for loss ON account of his
wife's injuries when he brought the first
action. Judge Lochren granted the motion
to dismiss on that ground, Judge Rea con-
curing.

D. D. Merrill. the school board publisher,

was made, q peculiarly savage attack
upon my publications in this state was being
made by the publishers of the books then in

it best to defer the trial. AS it looks now,
however, the Doodle cases will positively

The case has been set for the 18th because
County Attorney Jameson is anxious TO get

will prove that the boodling was more wide

only three indictments. 1t has all along been
said that those three indictments were merely
made out as sort of ''feeler.' There is
the best of authority for believing that this is

Mrs. y. 4. SquyreS is Thrown
from Her Carriage and Killed.
A distressing accident, attended with
the loss of the life of an estimable lady,
happened shortly after 9 o'clock
last evening. Oscar G. Squyer. the we'll

ing became unmanageable and ran away.
The horse dashed out Hennepin av-
enue at breakneck speed, throwing Mr..
Squyer out. He was badly bruised, but
his injuries are not serious. An at
tempt was made to stop the horse at
Nineteenth street, but he turned down
the street and kept going on mad gal
lop. When near Sixth the carriage was
overturned and Mrs. Squyer was thrown
out. Her head struck on the curbstone

Is Held for Trial.

John Lund, the bookkeeper employed by

prisoner in the municipal court yesterday
charged with embezzlement. Nothing wrong
was suspected until about three weeks ago.
Lund failed to show up on Thursday morn
ing. 1t was part of his business to take
care of the money drawer in the safe, and
also to carry the money to the bank for de-
post. The cash account was not examined,
j however. OIL this first day of Lund's absence.
{ But when he failed to put in an appearance
on the following day, Mr.. Nichol, one of the
firm of A. NichOl d Sons. called at Lund
rooms. There, although he did not find
Lund, he ascertained that the young man

with a woman. This aroused 1Ir Nichols

On am Old Judgment.

The Northwestern Stove works yesterday
began an action against Frank Dugar and
others to recover an old judgment, which
now amounts to S1,26s. The complaint al
leges that the stove works secured a judg
ment against Dugar for S96S.46 for goods
furnished. The execution was never salts
lieo. Dugar then owned the Sherman house,
at Washington and Sixth avenue south,
which property he is alleged to have traded
for some East side realty. The East side
property is said to have been transferred to
Alom B. Dugaf without consideration. The
complaint asks that A. B. Dugar be decided
to hold the property in trust merely for
Frank Dugar, and that the claim Of S1,26S
be adjudged specific lien upon it.

The Ffelde Statue.

of History" modelled by Fjelde, at the
exposition last year, and cast by the
American Bronze Company of Chicago,
was unbOXed yesterday and elevated to
its niche in the front wall of the public
library building. The statue is eight
feet in height, and artists say it pos
marvel of symmetry, the arm and
neck being exQuisitely shaped, and the
face patrician in its fine design. The
hips and limbs are rather too masculine,
the curves that show SO beautifully in a
statue being lacking. From its COM

be a superior work of art, ahd is the
