THE TREASURER SUED.
The Leyeroos Case Involves a
Large Sum.

Emma A. Leveroos, as administrator
of the estate of John LeverooS has be.
gun an action against George Refs and
John Wessenbourg to recover 81, I44.3O,
with interest on several parts of this
sum from stated intervals. 1t is alleged
that the city allowed John Leveroos
and John Misenbourg forty-One claims
in various amounts, between June %.
1889, and July 81, 1899. the sum of which
amounted to Sl4 ,2SS.60. That warrants
were drawn In their favor for each
OF the sums and upon the city treasurer:
that they each owned half interest
therein. 1t is asserted that George
Refs received the several amounts, and
that MiSenbOurg has refused to join in
this suit because he has received his
share of the several sums. This suit
includes Misenbourg as defendant be-
cause he refuses 10 join in the suit rs
plaintiff. There are forty-one causes
of complaint set up, in each of which
cause of action is alleged.
Mrs. Leyero0s has begun second ac-
ton against George Refs alone in which
she alleges that there is due her 50, %

treasurer's Office for several years and
claimed these sums as his when allowed
by the city for taking acknowledge
ments and for serving assessment
notices. The allowances were made by
the council in the names of the men
who performed the services, but were
turned over to Mr.. Refs as city treas
urer. Levero0s made claim for the
money to Mr.. Refs last summer, but it
was not paid and he was discharged as
clerk in the office. A short time after
his discharge he committed suicide.
Mr.. Refs has been rather sensitive on
the point of this and other similar
claims, and when the matter was thrown
in his teeth at ward meeting not long
since, he felt some ehagriB. The filing
of the suits at this time gave Mr.. Refs
an opportunity to give his side of the
case, which he states as follows:

VIII WrigI,t DeclInef

Docs Col. Fred Wright mean to de-
cline the independent nomination for
mayor, after all? There are indications
that he has finally decided that it is
scarcely worth his time to mix with the
common sort of humanity for the two
weeks before election for the empty
honor Of being tail-ender in q losing
race. His friends. who are legion among
the 400 OF 81. Paul, are laying wagers of
champagne by the bottle aud basket at
the Minnesota club that the gal
liant colonel will decline at the
last moment One potent reason
urged is the following: a section
Of the constitution Of tie Commercial
club provides that an officer or member
af any committee who becomes a candi-
date for public Office shall al once re-
sign such Office In the club. Now the
gallant colonel is not only member Of
the board Of directors of the club, but
he is also chairman Of the house com
mitcc. These fine Offices he has no
idea Of throwing away, and he has
given no lntimation OF sending In his
resignation 10 the club. These facts
are taken as conclusive, In exclusive
Summit avenue circles, that Col. Wright
will keep out OF the dirt ana turmoil Of
politics and continue his position in the
polite society he 50 adOrDs.

Three Ward Contests.

j. Z. Petersen, the candidate for the
Democratic nomination for alderman in
the First ward, will have an easy con-
quest. lie is promineI business man
of the ward, with wide acquaintance
and hosts of friends and supporters.
Aid. Copeland's friends are endeavoring
TO convince him that it would simply
be an eXemplitiCation of loves labor
lost should he enter the canvass, but
Mr.. Petersen has happy penchant for
thinking for himself. MIR. Copeland
remarked yesterday that he did not an
ticipate any opposition whatever. He
feels certain of an Endorsement by the
Republicans, and he predicts that the
Democrats will not place an opponent
in the field.
The friends Of John Gehan feel that
the struggle in the Ninth ward will be
amicably settled before the convention
meets, and the friends of Mr. Petsch
are fully as sanguine. Whichever way
the tide sets there will be no sole heads.
And the same may trnthfully be related
of the interesting canvass in the Sixth
ward. Aid. Melady has a strong fol
lowing, owing to his manly and consci-
entious course in the city council, and
Mr. Mulvehill, his rival, is also sup
ported by big contingent of the Dem
Ocratic party. Despite the shouts of
the Republican papers, there is no bad

PETERSON MUST EXPLAIN
Why He Retains the Treasurer
ship of Hennepin County.

Upon application of Attorney General
Capp, Chief Justice Gildllan, of the SUI
preme court, issued a writ Of quo war
rantO in the case of Hans o. Peterson,
the county treasurer of Hennepin, who
was suspended recently by the gov
ernor for malfeasance in Office. In
the appli cation for the writ it is set
forth in the report made to the governor
that Peterson, on several occasions,
failed to account for sums of money
turned over to him in his official ca
pacity, and appropriated them 70 his
own use. Further, il is alleged that he
did in several instances deposit in vari
Gus banks more money than allowed by
law. 1t Is stated that the county com
mlsSioners met and appointed j. L.
Buxton county treasurer al interim,
and that, although his bond has been
arranged, Peterson will not yield up the
Office. The writ is made returnable on
Thursday, the 2Sth, when Peterson will
be asked to show by what right he con-
tinues to hold the Office.
