PECULIAR DAMAGE SUIT.
Brought by John G. Madigan Against
John McGuire


There are few people in the world
who would consider it an honor to be
designated as members of the A. P.
A, but John G. Madigan is not one of
these. John thinks it is worth at least
$4,000 to have such an assertion made
about man when it at the same time
depriveS him Of some of his business
Therefore Madigan has sued John Nc
Guire, his business neighbor, to re-
cover damages in this sum for telling
Rev. G. Miller, a Catholic priest, that
he. Madigan, was "one of the worst
A. P. AS in the city, ie1si A-@'-'~,.
According to the allegations IN the
complaint, which was filed yesterday,
the plaintiff and Luke Arnold are en-
gagged in the manufacture of artificial
limbs under the firm name of Madigan
& Arnold, their place Of business being
located on East Seventh street The
defendant conducts a like industry in
the same block, and it SO happens that
Madigan and MCGUIRE are both Cath
olics. Nov. 26 last Father Miller, Of
Prescott, Wis, was an inmate Of ST.
Joseph's hospital in this city, one Of
his legs having been amputated. The
priest entered into negotiations with
Madigan & Arnold for the purchase Of
an artificial leg as soon as what re-
mained Of the one supplied by nature
had become well enough so that the
measurements could be made.
The complaint then goes on to allege
that on the day named Mcclure made
to Father Miller the remark above
quoted, and that by this he intended to
charge that the plaintiff was a member
of the American Protective association
and was not true and sincere mem
ber of the Roman Catholic church, but
was secretly opposed to it; that he
was a hypocrite, and opposed to the
prosperity, honesty, integrity and ad-
vancement of said church and it's pro-
fessions, tenets and faith, and secret
enemy to it's ministers. priests and
members. .'<N' -e5g
It is further alleged that the Ameri-
can Protective association is an organ
ization that is opposed to the Catholic
church and those belonging thereto;
that in violation of the constitution
of the United States it imposes a re-
ligious test as requisite to the hold
ing of public place, and that it's mem
bers are sworn not to employ Catho-
lies, but on the contrary, injure them
in business way whenever possible.
Owing to the fact that this is the char
acter of the organization, Madigan's
statement to the priest caused the lat
ter to discontinue his negotiations with
the firm, and he turned round and
bought a leg from Mcclure. .-fL ~
The plaintiff says the statement
made by the defendant was false in
every particular, wicked /. and malic-
ious, and not only had the effect to de-
ter the priest from making the bar
gain with the firm Of the plaintiff, but
caused the priest to scorn, shun, avoid
and abhor the plaintiff, Madigan. -

DRAINAGE COMMISSIONERS MEET
AND HEAR REPORTS ABOUT
THEM.
THE CONTRACTORS TELL WHY
nun WORK HAS NOT PROGRESSED
AS RAPIDLY AS 1T SHOULD
HAVE.
ARE GIVEN TILL NEXT FALL
To Complete tho BOrup g Kennedy
ImprOvements-One OF the
Grades Changed.

The Red river valley drainage com
mission held an extended meeting IN
the governors office at the state cap
itol Yesterday The meeting was
special one, called to afford certain
contractors. who have been doing work
for the state, an opportunity to show
why their contracts had not been COM
pleted in the required time.
Engineer Hoffman read a report con-
cerning the Snake river ditch. which
was accepted and ordered filed. Con-
tractor EnniX, who is engaged on TINS
piece of work, was not present, OUT
he had sent in a written statement OF
the causes which had occasioned his
delay and after the reading OF this
statement it was unanimously agreed
to allow him until Aug. l, 1895, to
complete his contract.
Engineer Hoffman then read a report
of the other work being done under
the supervision of the commission, rec
ommending a change of one foot In
the grade Of the Borup ditch, the con-
tract for which was let to James
Nolan J. F. Kennedy, representing
Mr.. Nolan, stated that the contract
for this ditch had not been let until
late in the fall of '94, and that, cold
weather coming on soon after work
had been begun, precluded the posi-
bility of accomplishing much that year.
In the following spring work had been
resumed as soon as the frost was out
OF the ground and every means en-
ployed to secure enough men to COM
pIete the work according to contract.
LaboreIs were scarce, however, and
as a result the ditch was not finished
in time Mr.. Kennedy heartily con-
Cured in Mr.. Hoffman's recommends
ton to raise the grade of the ditch,
and it was finally decided to grant
Contractor Nolan an extension until
Sept. 1, 1895, with a provision for the
change in the grade
A. c.. Rhinehart, contractor for the
Kennedy ditch, was present in person,
and stated that upon receiving the
contract In the fall~of '94 he had sub
let it to another contractor, and until
late in the fall of. '95 was not aware
that the work would not be completed
in the specified time. AS soon, how
ever, as he learned Of the conditions
he hired men and teams, and had cold
weather kept off but one week longer,
would have fulfilled all the conditions
of the contract. In view Of these state
ments the commission decided to allow
Mr. Rhinehart until Sept. 1, 1898, to
complete his work.
A communication from James Rowe,
of FELTON,, Clay county, regarding al
legged damage to his farm on account
of some. constructions Of the commits
sion, was referred to N. D. Miller for
investigat ton and recommendation.

Treasurer Completed.

ATCssuECA SOfhphStSus
The annual report of State Treas
urer Koerner has been published in
pamphlet form and is now ready for
distribution. The report in its en-
ttrety is quite an extensive publica-
ton, showing the condition of all
funds, investments, receipts, disburse-
ments, etc, with which the state is con-
cerned. Treasurer Koernere makes but
one recommendation, and It is In re-
gard to the investment of state funds.
He states that highs grade bonds are
very scarce, and in view Of the demand
the supply is very small. The recon-
mendation favors the adoption of the
proposed constitutional amendment
permitting the Investment Of the per-
manent and university school funds,
in city, town and village bonds. Mr.
Koerner states that he has examined
the investments made by his predeces-
sors and finds them to have been of
the safest and best paying nature.
Mr.. Koerner has since assuming his
Office invested the following state
