MAYOR DORAN'S RARTIsANsHIP IN
THE eBOARDsOF PUBLIC WORKS
SQUABBLE
BEGINS TO BEAR ITS FRUIT.
PROPERTY OWNERS ASK THAT AS
sESSMENTS LEVIED BY "COM-
MISSIONER'y COPELAND
BE DEcLAREn ILLEGAL AND VOID.
Assessment foro "a Sewer Questioned;
Also One for Cost of Wooden
Sidewalk.

What WaS at the time regarded as
Mayor Dorans partisan obstinacy, as
we'll as that of the common council,
in refusing to recognize the board Of
public works until the supreme court
compelled them to, is beginning to
bear fruit in the courts. Actions have
been begun by a number of property
owners to set aside assessments levied
for the construction of sewers and
wooden sidewalks on the ground that
they are illegal. because the preliminary
steps We're not taken by the board of
public works as required by the char
ter, but by the commissioner of public
works, who was in reality not a legal
officer.
One of these actions was tried before
Judge Bum yesterday. The objectors
IN this case are the owners of prop
erty abutting on South Robert, Wood
and Colorado streets. They want the
assessment for constructing a sewer
along these streets set aside for the
reasons given. The sewer has been
constructed, and the assessment
amounts to about $1,000, which the city
will have to pay if the assessment Is
set aside.
Another case of the same kind will
be heard tomorrow the action being
one to set aside an assessment for
wooden sidewalks included under esti-
mates No. 5 and 6. AS in the case of
the sewer, these sidewalks were built
and laid on final orders sent to the
council by the commissioner of public
work some time last August or dur
ing the early fall.
me charter requires that in ordering
amy pubic Improvement the council
snail first send a preliminary order
therefor to the board of public works,
whose duty it shall be to report wheth-
er II hnds the proposed Improvement
necessary or proper. In case it is so
found, the board of public works must
submit final order to the council
In the cases now before the court the
preliminary orders were sent to the
commissioner of public works only. the
council seeing fit to ignore the board of
public works, which body had rented
quarters across the street after being
driven out Of the court house. and was
ready and willing to transact any busi-
ness referred to it. 1t is true that the
board of public works, after it's rein
statement under the decision of the su-
preme court, confirmed the assessment
levied for the improvements made in
these cases, but the question as to the
validity of these assessments, the law
yers say, is aIclose, one, notwithstand-
ing, inasmuch as there was in reality
no such officer as a commissioner Of

stand. Mrs Aliens testimony occupied
the greater part of the day. She re-
lated in detail the circumstances al
ready set forth, from the time Miss
Allyn came to live with her and Mr.
Allen until she disappeared. j. M.
Martin, an officer of the Minnesota
Loan & Trust company, testified that
his company held about $2,7OO in trust
for Miss Allyn and here the plaintiff
rested.
The defense first offered in evidence
an affidavit signed by William H.
Allen and dated in December, 1896, in
which he swore he had no claim
against the Minnesota Loan & Trust
company for Edith's board and lodg-
ing, and also a release dated June
21, 1897, by which Mr.. Allen released
the trust company from any and all
liability to him. Mr.. Barton objected
to the admission Of the affidavit in
evidence against his client, Martha l..
Allen. Judge Kelly said he would take
the objection under advisement as it
was about time to adjourn court and
announce his ruling the next morning
The only witnesses called by the de-
fense yesterday was Miss Minnie Allyn,
of Minneapolis, a sister of Edith NJ
Allyn. Miss Allyn identified some bills
and receipts that had passed between

The Troubles of Family Told i,
Court.

Court.
The suit of William Allen, by his de-
serted wife. Anna L. Allen, against
the Minnesota Loan & Trust company
Of Minneapolis, is on trial before Judge
Kelly and a jury. The action is
$4,000 held in trust by the defendant
company for Edith NJ Allyn, who Is
alleged to have eloped with Mrs
Aliens husband. Miss Allyn came to
live with Mr.. and Mrs. Allen when but
a girl nine years of age. That was in
December, 1887 She remained with
them until March, 1895, when the
Denver, Col. Miss Allyn left Denver
presumably for Minneapolis, where she
had sister living. The same day Mrs.
Allen departed on a visit to friends in
Nebraska, while she supposed Mr..
Allen was going to st. Louis, Mo. Mrs.
Allen has never set eyes on her hus-
band or Miss Allyn since that day in
Denver. She heard that both were in
ST. Louis soon afterwards. At present
they are believed to be in Florida.
Mrs. Allen is now suing to recover
compensation for the board and Iodg-
ing of Miss Allyn for period extend
ing from December, 1887 until March.
1896, at rate of $35 month, the total
sum claimed being about $4,000 In
round numbers. Mrs. Allen has also

HOLDS UP THE MONEY.
Injunction Against the Municipality
of South ST. Paul.

Blinn Converse, a citizen and tax
payer of South st. Paul, has brought
an action in the district court of Ram
sey county against that municipality
and its officials to restrain the latter
from paying over cerain sums of
money to j. P. Nolan, the city re-
corder, ex-Chief of Police Follmer, and
Chief Of Police Broderick. The pay
nent of the sums Of money mentioned
in the complaint was authorized by
resolution of the city council adopted
on June 20, 1897.
In his complaint, Mr.. Converse re-
cites that J. p Nolan, the city re-
corder, James Gahan; the city treas
urer, Michael Gahan; the mayor, and
Broderick, the chief of police, are all
officers of the city of South ST. Paul, in
receipt of regular salaries, and that
Michael Follmer was the chief of police
of said city until February or March,
1897, and as such received his salary
Preceding. the complaint alleges that
on June 20, 1897, the city council un-
lawfully passed a resolution author
izing the payment to City Recorder j.
P. Nolan, the sum of $40 per month
for the past four and one half months
in addition to his regular salary for
looking in some manner after a por-
ton of the public schools" and further
ordering the payment to ex-Chief of
Police Follmer, of the sum of $100, and
to Chief of Police Broderck $25 for
overseeing certain street work"
Mr.. Converse declares that these
claims are trumped up and that the
council has no legal right to pay these
officials any extra money, as they are
receiving salaries for serving the city
He therefore asks for an injunction re-
straining the mayor from signing and
the city recorder from countersigning
any warrants for these amounts, and
the city treasurer from paying the
same. The complaint further alleges
that Messrs. Nolan, Fullmore and
Broderick are insolvent.
Judge Otis granted temporary in
junction pending the date of the hear
ing which has not yet been fixed.

LOVE OF A MOTHER.
Pathetic Case Comes Before Judge
WiIIrich for Disposition.

Pathetic scenes are not rare in the
probate court room, but one occurred
there yesterday that aroused more
than passing interest. An infant and
it's unfortunate young mother were
the objects of sympathy. The question
before the court was the appointment
of a guardian for the infant child. The
application was made by the Chill
drens' Home society, in whose care the
babe was left a few days. ego It's
mother, the secretary of the society
informed the court, was not a fit per-
son to take care of the child.
All eyes were directed toward the
young mother, who seemed mere
girl of nineteen or twenty years. She
could not deny the accusation. She
only looked at her baby boy, who was
resting in the arms of a nurse, inno-
cent of all that was going on about
him. Tears filled the young mother s
eyes and coursed down her cheeks.
Rising from her seat, she quickly
crossed the room, and, before the spec
tators realized it, she had the little
one in her arms and was kissing the
tiny face again and again. AT last she
returned the child, and went sorrow
fully away.
1t was the old song. A year ago
last September a child was born to
Hattie Geisenheimer Last September
the mother placed her infant in charge
of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Keener, of
225 East Sixth street, and for some
months paid them regularly for it's
support and care. At last the pay
ments ceased, but Mrs. Keener contin-
ued to care for the child until she
was taken i'll, and her husband final
ly placed the little one in charge of
the Childrens Home society, which
has applied for the appointment Of a
guardian.
1t appeared from the testimony in
the probate court that the mothers
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geisenheimer,
live in this city, on the West side.
whereupon Judge Willrich inquired II
there would be any objection to ap-
pointing the child's grandfather its
guardian. Mrs. Keener informed the
court that Mr.. Geisenheimer had re-
fused to have anything to do with
the child.
Judge Willrich will grant another
hearing in the matter today.

charge of stealing thirty bushels of po-

their arrival in the railroad yards,
there was lot of spoiled ones on top
of the load. Liepewitz and com

the potatoes over cheaply. After COM

were prepared for delivery to the COM
