Mrs. Phelinda Champion
Sues Little Falls for
that Amount.
Claims to Have Sustained
Injuries by Reason of
an Icy Sidewalk.

Mrs. Phelinda Champion has com
menced suit against the city O1
Little Falls for damages received by
falling upon a slippery sidew ak at
the intersection of Broadway and
Third streets on February %, 1894.
The complaint recites that on that
day and for, three weeks immedi.
ately preceding the sidewalk on the
south side of Broadway and on the
west side of Third street were Gov
cred with ice, frozen snow and sleet
as were also said streets themselves.
So much 50 that the sidewalks and
STREETS were in highly dangerous
condition. That said plaintiff was
travelling Third street, and at the
point where the same intersects the
south side of Broadway, was acct
dentally and without fault or negli-
gence on her part, and while I'M
aware Of special danger precipitated
onto said sidewalk with great viO-
lence by her feet slipping suddenly
from under her, by reason OF which
she was disabled for more than four
months. During this time she SUI
fered great bodily pain aud anguish
OF mind, and was thereby, then and
there hindered wholly from attend
ing to her business and her domestic
affairs, and has ever since remained
and continued sick, sore, lame and
disabled and been put to great eX-
pense trying to be cured, and has
suffered and still continues to great
pain of body and distress of mind by
reason Of the injury received as
aforesaid. The damages are set at
$4,000 and plaintiff prays for judg-
ment in that amount.
TO the complaint Of the plaintiff
the defendant city answers that the
said defendant has no knowledge
of the injury of plaintiff, but that il
the alleged injury occurred it was
during a storm of snow. rain and
sleet, which covered all the side
walks and streets in said city. That
except as caused by said storm
there was no snow or ice upon said
sidewalk and that said sidewalk
was in no way defective or out OF re
pair. The case will come up at thu
fall term of the district court.

y. p. Clark e. Co. Embarrassed.

For several days it has been
quietly reported in business circles
that n. r. Clark 4 co., the well
known lumbermen Of ST. Cloud and
Minneapolis, were il financial
trouble, and that an assignment
was possible. The probability OF
such Il termination has so increased
that the matter has become Il sub
ject of discussion in the newspapers,
and the news will be a. surprise and
disappointment to the people OF
Northern Minnesota-especially to
the many who have been associated
with Mr.. Clarke in business matters.
Mr.. Clarke came to Minnesota
thirty-tivc years ago. He settled at
st. cloud, end engaged in the lumber
business with Mr.. Mcclure, and after
his death conducted the business
alone. A large part of his operations
were in Morrison county, and for
nearly a quarter of IL century he an
nunlly had hundreds OF men IL his
employ in this locality. He bought
large amounts of pne land, and it is
claimed that the value of this prop
crty in his name amounted to 81 500.
700. He was the richest man in
Northern Minnesota, outside OF Du-
luth, and until lately no one thought
his business affairs had got in bad
shape. About ten years ago he was
stricken with nervous DrOstratiOn.
and since has been unable TO give his
business affairs the close personal
attention for which he was before
celebrated. He placed his immense
lumber business in Minneapolis in
charge of his nephew. Fred b. Clark,
who was given small interest In
the firm of y. p. Clark & Co. They
| were among the leading lumber
| firms of the state, and
the young man had control OF
| very large sums of money, and had
full use Of the credit OF the company.
It is intimatcd that through losses
in various kinds of speculation Fred
Clarke was Obliged to borrow large
sums of money, and that when these
loans recently came du" to the
amount of over a quartcrOfA million
dollars, the firm was unable to meet
them, and an appeal was made to
y. Z. Clark for help. lie Mt first
thought he could take care OF all
with little trouble, but as the
amount increased beyond his cXpccta-
lions it seems that his credit during
these times was not sufficient to
carry him through. a few years
ago Clarkc's credit was excellent in
the East, and he would been able to
quickly meet such an emergency as
now meets him, but his long absence
from active control of his own AZ
fairs has ended in the above result.

Homestead Entries.

st. Cloud Times: One hundred
homes tea entries were made at the
st. Cloud land office for the month OF
April, which covered 12,779.3 acres.
This is the largest acreage entered
under the homestead laws in any one
month for the past thirty years.
Nearly this entire area was taken for
agricultural purposes, and shows
that there is an activity in seeking
farms which exceeds the record for
more than quarter OF a century.

STUHRT is CHEF.
F.. B. Stuart Elected Chief OF
Fire Department litter a
Close Conteet.

At the annual meeting Of the Lit
tie Falls fire department on Satur'
day evening there was a large at
tendance-nearly all members being
present. The meeting was organized
by the election of F. w. Lyon as
chairman and John Mcdonald as
secretary. 1t was decided to eject
the minor offices before the chief, and
without opposition John Mcdonald
was elected secretary and Lud. eau
Diet treasurer for the ensuing year.
An informal ballot was then taken
on chief which resulted as follows:
&. n. .........................4O
f. b. Stuart................ 40
j. w. JOneS............ ..............,......
The first formal ballot decided the
result thus:
e. n. LafOnd...... ........................42
Mr.. Stuart was declared elected,
and took the chair, expressing
thanks to the department for the
honor, and thanks to his friends for
their support.
+. B. Stuart is fOrelnen OF Hose
Co. No. !, and has held that position
for some time. He is an enthusiastic
fireman, and certainly one of the
popular members OF the department.
G.. N. LafOnd has been chief for the
past three years, and no city in the
country has made a better record in
the way of fire suppression than has
Little Falls. The many threatening
fires i'll business sections have all
been handled admirably through the
good Judgment of the officers, the
clergy and bravery Of the members
of the department, the abundant
facilities OF the apparatus supplied
by the city. and the efficient water
service supplied. Mr.. Lafond was
two years ago elected a life honor
ary member of the State Fire assO-
citation, and last year he was chosen
second vice president. He is a men,
Der of the legislative committee OF
the association, which did import
ant and successful work during the
recent session of the Legislature.
