&The dangers attending a trip to the
north side of the river will oon be avert
ed. A new bridge which one may cross
without holding the breath will take the
place of the old tumble-down affair
which now disgraces the city.
Among the hustlers on election day
were Capt. Coe, Charles Fish, Arthur
Scriyener, George Fish and Willis How.
Their work told, as nearly a full vote
was cast-not more than fifty or sixty
voters absenting themselves from the
polls.
Jim Norris is an accommodating sta
ton agent, but his spirit of accommoda-
ton does not extend to other fields. Two
men offered to bet the drinks on the re-

Jim as stakeholder. He peremptorily
declined.
The appointment of Charles Fish to
be general agent of the Deering company
for central Minnesota will not effect the

There was a regular picnic at the sec
ond ward voting precinct or Monday. A
who couldn't tell a good story had
no business to tarry there any longer
than was absolutely necessary to deposit
a ballot. In fact, at one time, it looked
as though the judges would insist upon
a story as a qualification for voting at
all. The first precinct was argumcnta-
tive while the second was hilarious.

Gov. Barto has received his blank bond
the Interior Department, which has
been executed, approved and forwarded
TO Washington. The bond is fixed at
10000, and a few of his friends here
willingly became his sureties. He went
down to St. Paul on Monday to have it
approved by District Attorney Hay,
and it has been forwarded. He expects
his commission as register of the St.
Cloud office in a few days.
Judge Barto has decided that the
snow ordinance passed by the city coun-
Gil is unconstitutional, in that it makes
a criminal offence of that which it may
not be possible for a person to avoid or
prevent. A recent Michigan decision in
pc nj decides that no law can compel,
under penalty, what it may not be pos
sible for one to do. Accordingly Mr..
Robbins was discharged and the case
him dismissed. A new ordi-
nance will be drawn which will cover
the ground fully, without the objection
able feature.

sent their interests. He is thoroughly
equipped by years of experience and an
accurate knowledge of the details of the
business.

utes later his family was startled by a
terrible crash. Investigating its cause.
Mr.. Whitefeld was found lying upon his
face upon the porch, the ladder lying
near him. His face and head was ter
ribly cut and bruised, the blood flowing
freely from the wounds, and one arm
was seriously injured. He was insen-
sible until past midnight, no~twithstand-
ing the efforts of physician speedily
summoned to attend him. 1t vas feared
for a time that his injuries were of a
dangerous character, but a critical ex-
animation developed the gratifying fact
that the bruises and cuts about the
head were more frightful in appearance
than in reality, and that no bones were
broken. He will be relegated to the re-
pair-shop for a season, though.
