This spring Mr. McFetridge bought
lot on Front street in the city of Beaver
Dam, which is one of the finest locations
in the city. He tore down all the old
buildings thereon and proceeded to lay
the foundation for the grandest build
ing in the city. The city council COM
planned that McFetridge was encroach-
ing upon the streets and directed City
Attorney Burke to proceed to get an in
junction from the court.
The motion was heard last June, Mr.
McFetridge appearing and making the
argument in his own behalf. Judge Dick
decided that no injunction could be
granted compelling the defendant to
stop work on his building, but that the
building could be removed and Judgment
for damages entered against him if it
was found on trial that there was an
encroachment. The eX-state treasurer
took the chances and went on and
erected the building. which is the larg-
est and grandest in Beaver Dam.
