Attorney A. c. Robertson filed suit in
Common Pleas Court No. 3 against the
Order for $3.50 due John Henry W. Garlick
for 1S weeks sick benefits.
The Godfrey case is trife the more in.
teresting, as criminal proceedings will
shortly ensue. Godfrey, according to the
information made before Alderman
McMasters yesterday, was Treasurer OF
the order, and previous to the 25th Of
September, 1891, did fraudulently. apply
to his own use $4,000, which had been en-
trusted to his care as an officer Of the asso-
citation. The information also charges that
he made false statements to his brother
officers in order to conceal the charged
frauds. There is also conspiracy charged
in this information.
solons Charged With Conspiracy.
Regarding the latter part of the case, it is
asserted by the prosecution that Godfrey,
together with A. Murdoch, R. H. Jackson
and John NJ Ball, conspired and combined
to cheat the order by means of fraudulent
conversions upon the books of the associ-
alton, in order to appropriate the sum OF
$14, 600 to their own personal use.
Godfrey gave bail yesterday in the sum
of 5000 for his appearance on the 4th of
June, and the others were released by fur
nishing bond in smaller sums.
The nroeecution declares ho hooks he va
been doctored in order to balance the ac-
counts, and they say this fact will be proven
at the hearing before the Magistrate.
AS for the Garlich case, the prosecutor de-
clares he has been a member of the Order of
Soion for several years, and Joined it for the
benefits accruing therefrom. He further
states that he had his eye knocked out in an
accidental manner In consequence of this
he was confined to his home, and
was unable to work for IS
weeks Upon recovering his health
he applied to the local lodge for the sick
benefits for the time he had lost from work.
That body voted unanimously to give him
his just dues, which amounted to $3.50.
Couldn't Get His Benefits.
He then sent to the Supreme Lodge of
the order, through which all payments are
made, and asked for the benefits
The letter was not answered
for several days and when he did hear from
it he was informed he was not entitled to
the money. There were no valid reasons
given for refusing the request and yesterday
he brought suit.
Attorney. Robertson, in speaking of the
case last night, said he had no idea what
kind of defense would be made, as Gar
Itch was clearly entitled to the money, this
beinp shown when the full amount waa

been seconded by Mr.. Melady. Mr.. Van
Slyke nominated Gates A. Johnson for
the Office. This was seconded by Aid.
SanbOrn, who asked that permission be
granted to Nix. Abbott, of the chamber
of commerce, TO address the council.
The permission being granted, Mr.. Alb
bolt addressed the council, and stated
that as chairman of the commit
tee appointed by the chamber of
commerce he desired to lay before
the council the views of the chamber,
that practical architect and builder be
appointed as building inspector. At
the conclusion Of the gentleman's re-
marks, Mr.. Murray moved that the
election of building inspector be pro-
ceeded with. The nominations were as
follows:
C. E. Starkey, by Aid. Gehan; Gates
a. Johnson, by Assemblyman Van
Slyke: George Bergman, by Assembly
man Banholzer.
At this point the city clerk read
a communication from Gates a.
Johnson. the present building in
spector, through his attorneys, Messrs.
Davis, Kellogg and Severance, pro-
testing that the council had no
power to elect q building inspector at
the present time on the ground that his
term or Oi1ce ala not expire until 1871.
The reasons given were that in. June,
1883, the common council passed reso-
luton providing for the office of build
ing inspector. who should be elected in
1884 for term of four years, and that
his successor should be elected there
after for like period. That in
January, 1886, the council amend
ed the resolution by passing
an ordinance that in January. 1856, a
building inspector should be elected for
four years, and that his successor be
elected for a like period, and that the
act of legislature of 1887 legaiiZed the
ordinances pertaining to the building
inspectors Office, and prohibited the
legislating out Of Office any building in
sDector before the expiration of his
term of Office. The communication of
Mr.. Johnson was somewhat of sur
prise to the council, but on the motion
of Aid. Gehan the letter was laid on the
table and the election proceeded with.
The clerk called the roll, and the result
was announced as follows; E. c..
Starkey, ~ votes: Gates A. johnson, z
votes; George Bergman, vote.
Those who voted for Mr.. Starkey were

ord stood Messrs. Bielenberg, Copeland,

MANUFACTURING SITES.

We have for sale a tract Of
about 18 acres Of land midway
between st. Paul and Mime
apolis, which is perhaps the
best site for factories in either
city. 1t has a spur track run
ming through it, connecting it
with all the railroads running
into either city, except one,
and also with the Mime
sofa Transfer. 1t is one of the
few tracts left in the Midway Dis
trict. accessible to good railroad
trackage, large enough to accom-
modate large manufacturing con-
Germ, and is therefore very valua-
BILE. The Midway District. tray
ersed in every direction by railroads
and electric lines, and drawing
population and business from both
cities, is rapidly filling up, and a
few years will see property there
quadrupled in value. 1t is bound
in the near future to become the
great center of population of our
dual city, and the owners of land
there will be wealthy. We can sell
this fine property very cheap.
