Ii Is Finished.

1t is viii, much pleasure that we are
enabled to announce to our readers
that that long drawn out agony, the
Second street paving contract, has at
last been completed. The contractors,
MeSrs. Gleason Bros. & Rubyour
monkeyed with the job for a year or
more, and finally gave it up a few
months ago and turned 1t over to their
bondsmen, Messrs. L. F. Johnston,
John keaough, l.. D Newton, Neil
Smith and J. u. Whitney. 1t took
these gentlemen some time to over
haul the accounts of the contractors
and find out how things stood.
Then they found themselves late in
the season without block timber, sand
or gravel to work with. An effort was
then made to re let the work but this
could not be done to the satisfaction
OF the bondsmen, and so they decided
to go ahead and do the work them
selves. Mr.. Robert Hanna Was put on
the work as general manager, the
necessary material was purchased, and
Mr.. Frank Gage was set to work saw
ing blocks. Then we had a spell Of
weather and Of a very moist character
Mr.. Cages saving outfit burned up or
down, twice, and tried it third time,
but Notwithstanding all these adverse
circumstances, the plucky bondsmen
have triumphed, and Second street is
paved from Stinson avenue to its in
tersection with Winter street. We
should also add that when the con-
tractors threw up the JOB they were
about $1,000 in the hole. but their
bondsmen, all inexperienced in that
line of work. cleaned up the deficiency,
completed the work and made some
money out Of the job, and We are con-
strained to say well done, boys, you
are entitled to another job.

Another Land Contest.
from the Leader Of "Wednesday.

from the Leader Of "Wednesday
A case involving a large snm OF
money and several important. legal
questions is on trial before. Judge
Roberts. In early days William Hol-
linshead, of st. Paul, bought a large
amount of property at the head of the
lake, some OF it in Superior. In 1860,
on nothing less than Christmas day,
he died ntestate, and owing among
'ther debts, it is alleged, the sum of
10000 to John Il Sanbo- II, of st.
Paul.
The lands in Douglas county were
considered of little or no value at that
time, and so no administrator was
ever appointed for the Hollinshead
property in Wisconsin.
Years after Superior began to boom
little and the heirs sold the lands at
remunerative prices Later prices
went still higher and the property be-
gan TO change hands rapidly. Certain
buyers, noticing that the records did
not disclose formal proceedings to
establish heirship in the Hollnshead
family, demanded that such proceed
ings be taken, which was done before
Judge d. E. Roberts in December,
1850
In July, 1890, Gen. Sanborn petit
Oned Judge Roberts for letters of ad-
miniStratlOn in douglas county.
Judge Roberts refused on the ground
that the debts were stale, the debtor
having been dead thirty years; the
Sanhorn judgment having been thrown
out of court in Minnesota as outlawed;
no attempt having beenCmade in the
meantime to force the cllim or secure
letters of administration in Wiscon-
sin, and the property having passed
into the hands of innocent purchasers.
From this decision Gen. Sanborn APP
pealed and Judge Marshall reversed
the order of Judge Roberts, directing
that at least hearing he allowed.
Then Gen. Sanborn filed an amended
petition, and the owners of the prop
erty appeared in court yesterday and
denied that there existed any just or
valid claim against the Hollinshed
estate. Being required to prove the
validity of the alleged claim, the case
WAS by mutual consent adjourned for
the purpose of taking dispositions in
st. Paul and elsewhere.
Some of the persons involved are
Edward \. LeClaire, John Megins,
Thomas Il. Mills, John A. Murphy,
Mrs. Della II. Perry, John IL. Mills,
Martin A. Strand, Lester Jones, S. E.
Tubbs. and whoever may be owner of
any Land of which IIollinshead was
seized at the time of his death in 1860.
None of the heirs appeared in any of
the above proceedll gs, although Judge
Roberts caused notices to be served on
them personally in st. Paul, nor did
they pay any attention to the suits.
The property they sold some years
ago is now of great value, and they
may hope to see their own sale of it
apparently made i'll good faith at the
time, upset.
The persons wonder whether this
Urge su,n CT money wonder whether,
if they can be forced to pay the debts
OF NJ. Uoll:nshead who has been
dead th:rty-one Years, they may not be
compelled to pay Uoll:ns.iead's grand
fathers debts.

You must not shoot or otherwise
kill any deer after next Monday, as
the law prohibits it. As an evidence
of how plentiful this MOLE game is in
these parts and also of the terrible
81 laughter that has been made among
them the past month, it can be said
that one market man bought seventy
pelts in one week to be shipped to an
eastern glove concern. Probably one
thousand deer have been killed in
Dough- county in the past SIX weeks.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Secretary Rusk
today received official notice that the
German government had raised the en-
barge On American pork. The agree
ment was signed at Cape May ten days
ago, but at the request of the German
government the fact was withheld from
the public press until official action
could be taken by the home govern
ment. The agreement not only pro-
vides for the admittance of Our pork
into Germany, but also affords
to the United States the same schedule
with reference to our farm products as
that enjoyed by Russia. Secretary Rusk
is confident he will soon by able to ex-
tend our market for corn by introducing
it into Germany for use as an article of
food in place of rye, a crop of which Ger
many is this year exceedingly short. To
this end he has instructed his corn
agent, Col. G. j. Murphy, now in Eu-
rope, to proceed at once to Berlin and
lay the matter before the German gov
m
