Winnipeg, Special, Feb. Word of
the first casualty, the result of the re-
cent storm, reached the city tonight.
The victim was a brakeman named
Patrick Warde. in the employ of the
Canadian Pacific railroad. and who has
an invalid wife and three children living
in Toronto or Montreal. The express
which reached here to-day was showed
up at Sidewood, q siding about sixty
miles west of Swift Current. and a relief
train was sent out from the latter place
to it's assistance. When about nine
miles out the relief train became stalled,
and the conductor offered a reward to
any one who would go back to Swift
Current with the information. It was
bitterly cold, the thermometer registering
over forty deg. below zero, but notwith-
standing this poor Warde offered to so,
and set out never to reach town alive.
He had covered eight miles of the dis
lance and was within n mile of the
station when he became completely ex-
hausted and sank to the ground: An
Indian saw him fall and wen to his as
sistance, but could not save him.

Everybody is familiar with the fact
that this fete will occur at the opening

$4,000 for celebration Of the event.

Aldermanic Committee on streets
Considers and Defers.
There is a strong public sentiment
favoring the lateral street railway pro-
ject Oh st. Anthony hill, heretofore de-
scribed in these columns. The plan is
to occupy portion of st. Adams street
for the purpose, and here is the rub.
There are fifteen property owners on
that thoroughfare who oppose the en-
terprse, and they presented a formal
protest to the council. This protest
was before the aIdermanic committee
on streets yesterday. but no definite
action was taken. The matter was laid
over two weeks.
The ordinance granting franchise TO
the East Side Electric Light, Heating
and Power company was also laid over.
The ordinance gives the company the
right to string wires in that territory
east of Mississippi street. Aid. Cope
land opposed the grant OH the score That
he could not favor Stringlng wires on
poles. The company agreed to place their
wires IN conduits when so ordered by
the council, and this proposition brought
out Aid. IngerSoll III drastic condemn
alton. He denounced the promise OF
the company as Wretched farce ana
travesty upon the resolutions already
passed by the council, and he then went
on to explain that the council has passed
positive orders that electric wires be
placed underground.
Aid. Hickman and Warren both felt
that to compel electric companies to
Immediately place their wires in con-
duits in outlying districts would be Wis
ting unwarranted hardships upon them.
They held that in the business center
the wires are a menace and a constant
source of annoyance, but no lncon..
venience has been suffered because OF
overhead wires in the suburbs.

THE LEvEE CASE.

the City Attorney.

Its Further Conduct Referred to
the City Attorney.
The communication from II. ]. Horn,
that was before the board of aldermen
at its last session, was considered by
the WAYS and means committee of that
body Yesterday. 1t will be recalled
that this was communication concern
ing the famous levee case, or the case
of The City of st. Paul against The Chi
cago Milwaukee 81 st. Paul Railway
Company relative to the title OF leyee
lands amounting to some S500,O00 Ill
value.
Mr.. Horn appeared before the COM
mittee and advised that the case be
prosecuted in the supreme court. he
cited the fact that recent ruling by
the supreme court Of Illinois bears
upon the questions of law involved in
This case. The court there held that
the state must hold the lake front in
trust for the public, and Mr.. Horn also
asked that the council decide as early
as possible whether or not MS services
would be required further in the suit.
Aid. Montgomery felt that the cor
poration attorney could care for the
case, but Assistant Corporation Attor-
ney Phillips suggested that Mr.. Horn
would be OF special value in the case.
because Of his familiarity with, as well
as personal knowledge of fac is that are
vital to the case, and the committee
then referred the matter to the corpora
ton attorney to report a recommends
ton TO the council.

A FOREMAN FLooRED.
Billy Koch, OF the Globe, Gets a
Handsome Gift


Handsome Gift.
A chapel meeting was called in the
GLOBE composing room promptly at
midnight last night. Generally this
means something serious, and it is a
foreman of iron nerve who can view it
with equanimity. In times past Will
lam Koch. foreman of the GLOBE. has
been spoken of as "a nervous man with
golden whiskers;" still his nerve is not
TO be sneezed at. But when Time"
was called in peremptory tone by
George II. Saults, ''father" of the
chapel. while whistles were blowing
and bells ringing last night, Mr.. Koch
viewed the proceeding with suspicion.
Mr.. SaultS explained that they had
convened to call halt on the foreman.
and then turned the proceedings over to
Assistant City Editor John j. Ryder,
who took the matter up in a like spirit,
and kept the wondering foreman guess
ing for few minutes. Changing the
tune, however, of a sudden he pro-
duced an elegant fur-lined and fur
trimmed dress overcoat and filed it upon
Mr.. Koch. Then came sealSkin cap,
finel than silk, followed by a pair of the
SWEETEST kind of winter gloves, and the
busiest man around the big GLOBE
building was beginning to look uncer-
tain about the eyes.
EX-Chief OF Detectives John O'Con-
nor had got wind of the affair in some
manner, and four boxes Of fragrant
smokers were placed in the speakers
hands. Again Billy was hit in weak
spot, but, gathering his wits. he replied
in appropriate vein, put away his treas
ures, passed the cigars and went about
his duties with a lighter heart and a
broader faith in the good side of human
itv. 1t was an incident of altogether
pleasant character. and Ransom IL Hor-
ton, who furnished the outfit, must
have full share in the credit. The nu-
merous force of the GLOBE dubbed in
to give Mr.. Koch his fine New Years

Ice Palace at Silver Lake.
The toboggan slide and skating rink
at beautiful Lake Como were used last
night for the first time. and crowds of
Joyous lads and lasseS, with sprink-
ling of older folks, enjoyed the occa-

has been expended on these features of
winter sport at Como. and track is
also being built for speeding the many
swift nags owned in st. Paul. With
proper transit facilities Como would
offer unsurpassed facilities for pleasure;
The only ice palace in the United
States is the one just finished at Silver
lake, North st. Paul, which will be
opened today. In connection with the
palace is the monster Ice toboggan slide,
which, without doubt, is the SWifUeSt
ever built. The ice on Silver lake has
been cleared of snow, and splendid
skating surface is the result. The cleo
trio cars of the st. Paul 81 White Bear
railroad will make half-hourly trips to-
