ceived."
Mayor Kiefer was of the same opin-
Ion as the gentleman who first called
his attention to the disappearance Of
the sidewalk, that 1T might have been
possible to have left the sidewalk on
one side Of the street, even had 1t been
necessary to prevent accidents to take
up the other side. With the good ium-
ber from one side of the street the
mayor thought it would have been pos
sihle to repair the other sidewalk, al
though as to this he was not advised.
He was Of the belief that even had
the sidewalks on both sides of the
street been in such condition as to
necessitate their removal the persons
in the neighborhcod, some Of whom
had paid for the cost of laying them,
were entitled to the use of the old ma
terial.
The matter viii probably be taken I'D
at the meeting of the board Of public
Works tomorrow and after an investi-
cation by that body a detailed report
submitted to the mayor.
A A. Montbriand. proprietor Of g
grocery store at 575 Broadway, to
whose back yard the detective had
trailed the missing sidewalk, was seen
by G o e reporter last evening.
Il guess they must be crazy about
the old lumber" replied Mr. Mont
brand to a question as to what he
knew about the sidewalk which had
been taken from Frances street.
"a man who used to work for me
named Mike Ryan, took his own and
my team and hauled two loads Of the
sidewalk, one for himself and one for
me. The whole thing Amt worth more
than a dollar, anyhow
Did 1 pay anything for it? Well I
should say not. Ryan had written
order for the stuff from the street
commissioner before he took it. That's
all there is to the story"

disclosed that the money was mart ~ tha

are the proceeds of the sale OF a home ex.
empt! Judge Kelly holds that money
cannot be attached. In a memorandum Judge
Kelly says. in part:
In the case at bar, the garnishees dis
closed that they held of defendants money
S2l4. II appeared that this money was re-
eeiyed by the garnishee as part OF the
p p'rna1 price psld Tor house which was
owned by defendant, and which with His
nmily, defendant occupied as a homestead
within two or three months of its sac AS

place on January %, 1898. 1t appears de-
PENDANT left the state in November, 1897, His
wife in December following. But 1t does not
appear when they went or what their In
tertion. 1t does appear they left furniture in
the homestead in st. Paul It does not appear
when defendant determined to or did In fact
make his home In Alabama. Defendant adj
mits and alleges in his deposition that he In
tends to apply this money in paying for q
new home in Alabama, which he has already
contracted to buy.
The sale here was clearly made within the
time the property still retained IT'S character
as homestead unless the proof shows that
defendant at that time had permanently and
unequivocally abandoned ii by removing from
II and acquiring new home-tead elsewhere %
The proof Is far from showing any such
abandonment. And the burden was on plain
tin TO show 1t, or any other fact which would
subject the money TO his lien. Havina
in view always the beneicent purpose OF our
homestead laws; the Legislative care TO guard
the interest of the wife and children therein
by declaring void any conveyance or mort
gage thereon not having the wife's signature;
remembering that no credit is given the
debtor by reason of his homestead, and the
creditor therefor suffers nothing when his
hand Is stayed, es in this case, 1 have no
hesitation in holding. as did the Wisconsin
supreme court, that the proceeds of q home
stead are not subject to punishment when
the owner in good faith intends to apply
them In purchasing another home. And 1t in

TOOK THE SIDEWALK
SECOND WARDERs AGITATED
OVER THE REMOVAL OF
THEIR FOOT PATHS
IN A BROADWAY BACK YARD
Mayor Kiefer, on Investigation,
Found "a Part of the Missing
Lumber at the Rear of a Grocery
in Lower TOwn-Board of Pub
lie Works VIII Be Asked to Make
an Inquiry.

Mayor Kiefer and one of the detec-
tives from the police department are
engaged in an investigation as to the
disappearance Of two blocks of wood
en- sidewalk from its moorings on
Frances street between Atlantic and
English streets.
His honor was pouring over a bum
die of letters yesterday afternoon from
the heads of the various city depart
ments relative to the disappearance Of
the 800 feet Of sidewalk
1T is a most remarkable affair.""
said the mayor, land upon the return
OF President Copeland from his trip
to st. Louis 1 think the mystery will
be cleared up and the facts in the
case ascertained.
Il have been making an investiga-
ton, with the assistance of one of the
detectives, and have brought out these
facts:
Some ten days ago 1 received a let
ter from a gentleman named Thomas,
living in the vicinity of Frances and
English streets, in which he stated
that the sidewalk on both sides of
Frances street between English and
Atlantic streets had been taken up
and carried off. He expressed surprise
that the city should have this done
and claimed that, While the walks were
not in the best condition possible, they
were much better than none, and that
the walk on one side of the street
might have been repaired with the
good lumber taken from the other
side.
Il wrote to the board Of public works,
but was Informed that no order had
been made directing the sidewalks on
the street to be removed. The city
engineers office, however, explained
that the walks on the street were in
such a dangerous condition that, in
order to prevent accidents, the COM
missioner in that district, Charles Z.
Sandeen, had been ordered to take
them UP.
Previous to this fact being learned,
I had put one of the detectives on the
case with instructions to find where
the missing sidewalk went to. The de-
tective reported that a pile of wood
which had the appearance of being the
missing sidewalk was piled up in the
rear of Mr.. Montbriand's store on
Broadway.
Il sent for Street Commissioner San
deem, who has charge Of that portion
of the city and inquired Of him how
much he received for the sidewalk. I
was lead to this superstition from the
statement made by Frederick Thoele,
of 1899 East Fourth street, who in
formed me that when the two teams
which carried the sidewalks away were
engaged in the work he had inquired
why the walk was being removed One
of the teaInsters told him that the
walks had been purchased from the
city, and Mr. Thoele not being con-

PRAYED FOR LIND'S ELECTION
An OImsted County Farmers Pray
ers Answered and Sweetened.

eFs Answered and Sweetened
The following interesting piece of news Is
taken from the 0lmsted County Democrat:
Joseph Graham Jr., of Kalmar has made
a wonderful discovery and the credit for it
is all due to the voters who elected John
LIND governor. Had John Lind not been
elected Mr.. Graham would never have known
mat mis- large granary was a storehouse full
OF most delicious honey. The connection be-
tween Lind and honey may seem little re-
mote to our readers but thereby hangs a
most interesting tale
For three years past Mr.. Graham has not

OF the granary, but he never gave any par
Ilcular thought TO them until urged by one
OF his hired men to look for honey 'TWell %
said the former, IF John Lind gets elected

raid on the bees
That was two years ago. John Lind was
defeated and the bees remained undisturbed
Again this fall the same man urged Mr. Ora

possible find some of the sweet extract of bee
manufacture. Remembering how he put off
the proposition before Mr.. Graham had re-
elected, IN look for honey; otherwise the
bees will be let severely alone" When the
returns came the hired man was for openine
the slde OF the barn at once, but Mr.. Graham
would not listen to it until the verified re-
turns were In.

A Noticeable Novelty.

A display made the past week in one
of the Wabasha street windows of
Schuneman & Evans, by Alfred Miller,
the portrait photographer of III Wa
basha street. just above the new cap
itol, has attracted the attention of all
pedestrians along the thoroughfare.
The specimens shown were enlarged
pictures made from original plates and
films and in every case a most remark
able improvement was made by Mr..
Miller. A feature and study Of his
business is the enlargement for profess
sional and amateur photographers
from the original plates and films.
This is something new to the photo

exact likeness within the reach of all.
