MANKATO FREE PRESS

Mayor Currier said that he was Won
dering where the money was coming
from to pay for the various improve
ments.
Aid Deebach stated that James Shoe
maker had offered to advance money
for the boulevarding to the city with
out interest, if necessary
The awarding of the contract and the
bond, with John Trenheiser and Frank
Kunz as sureties, were approved.
City Attorney Daley asked that a
committee be appointed to assist him
in the suits against the city, and also
asked that Pau & Pau be employed to
assist him in the Vosbeck case, as they
are familiar with the case.
On Aid. Taylor's motion, the engag-
ing Of Pau q Pau was authorized. A
committee to assist the attorney was
appointed, to consist of Aids. Taylor,
Meyer and Weed.
A resolution prepared by the city at
torney fixing the bonds of the city Of
ficers was adopted.
The board of public works requested
$500 for use on the streets and SO for

Bids for Bonds.

Aid. Weed offered a resolution pro-
viding for the refunding of $4,000
bonds falling due Aug. 1st, and $4,000
bonds falling due Oct. LIST. The bonds
are to run twenty years and advertise
ments for bids Tor the bonds are to be
issued at once.
Mayor Currler favored 20 year bonds,
as.they would fall due after other bonds
fall due and would be foated at less
rate of interest than short time bonds
He thought that bonds bearing 81 per
cent would bring small premium.
Mayor Currier asked whether the
bonds should be gold bonus. He
thought that such bonds would a bring
better bids.
A motion was carried authorizing the
mayor and recorder to advertise for
bids for 3! per cent 20 year bonds, in
terest and principal to be pail in New
York City. Nothing was said about
the bonds being gold bonds, as the
opinion of the aldermen was divided.

WAS HE POISONED?
A New Theory in the WelIner Murder
Case.

The exhuming of the remains of Mr.,
Wellner, the murdered Nicollet county
farmer, has caused no end of specula
ton in our neighboring county. The
theory is.now acceptedithatWellner was
poisoned by parties unknown. Mrs,
Wellner stated that some time ago that
her husband frequently paid visits to
the neighboring places and villages and
there he might have met his unknown
enemy. Coroner Merritt, Of Nicollet
county, assisted by DR.. Stricken, of
New Ulm, disinterred the body of Well
ner in the cemetery, and took the
stomach to Minneapolis, presumably to
the university for an analysis of its con-
tents AS the body had not been en-
balmed it will be easy to find out
whether poison was administered.
Should this be the case, a new problem
will have to be solved. Why was Well
ner shot, this being the direct cause of
his death? The poison might have made
too slow progress and the murderer
might have been too impatient

More Committee Reports.

The committee on fire department
recommended that the purchase of 500
feet of cotton hose, as requested by the
fire department, be made. The report
was adopted, and the committee was
authorized to advertise for bids for the
hose.
The committee on city property
recommended that vault be built in
the city hall and other improvements
and repairs be made in the building. A
recess was taken to look over plan
prepared by Architect Gerlach.
The committee desired further time
to make report and will do so at the
next meeting. ..... -.
The committee on lighting recon-
mended the moving of the light at the
corner of Fifth and Warren streets. Mr.
Lorentz desires it moved on account of
the number of insects it brings in front
of his store The report was adopted.
The sewer committee recommended
that the private sewer on Hickory street
be allowed to be extended as desired by
J. J Griffith. The report was adopted.
The committee on parks recommend
ed that a fifty-foot we'll be sunk in
Highland park at a cost of $25.
Park Inspector Blake thought that
there was no question but that water
could be secured.
Aid. Jordan said that they were hav-
ing difficulty in getting water for the
school children, Highland park is not
visited much and no picnics are heard
of there.
The report of the committee was
adopted, after some further. discussion
and humorous remarks.

REMAINS BROUGHT HOME.
Particulars of Chas. Oberg's Death Not
Yet Known.

The remains of Chas. G. Oberg were
brought to ithis city at GAO Sunday
evening, from near Boone, Iowa, where
he was accidently killed while at work
for Gus. Widell. He was the forman
OF crew. : The remains were taken to
John Klein & Co. 8 undertaking rooms.
NO particulars of how Mr., Oberg met
his death have yet reached the CITY.
Mr.. Welsh, a druggist of Boone, accom-
panied the remains to Mankato, but he
was Ignorant of the particulars of the
death, The rody bears no sscars to in
dictate the cause of death. Mr.. Widell
went to Boone Thursday and will re
turn tomorrow noon, when the circum-
stances of the accident will be made
known.
Mr.. Oberg had been in Mr.. Widelps
employ for about eight years, and was
trusted and esteemed by his employer.

Mounting the Cannon.

The park committee recommended
that the city pay one half of the ex-
pense of mounting the cannon on Lin
coin park, the g. A. R. post to pay the
other half. The estimated cost is $50.
Aid. Jordan said that as long as our
congressman had taken the trouble to
procure cannon, it seemed pretty
small for the city to ask the G. A. R.
post pay half the expense of mounting
it, The post has enough calls for
money of its own.
w. N. Plymat said that the post had
raised the money to purchase Lincoln
park. The post has large burden in
taking care of its poor, and the raising
of $25 would not be as easy thing as
it once had been. The post had thought
that the spirit which caused the procur
ing of the monument would last and
the monument had been given to the
city. The cannon had been procured
without cost, and the railroad company
had conveyed it without expense, and
it was hoped that the city would mount
it,
Aid. Jordan moved as an amendment
that the city pay for mounting the gum
and this was carried, after being &C
copied by the committee.
Mr.. Plymat thanked the council in
behalf of Wilkin post.
The board of public works reported
the award of the contract for boulevard
ing Fourth street from Spring to Jack
son streets to Jacob Effer at 104 cents
per cubic yard. The contractor will
get ten cents yard additional for put
ting dirt on Fourth street south of Jack
son and on the sand we'll lot. The city
will pay about $3.50, and about $1,000
will be assessed on the property.

No Metal Awnings.

The street committee reported against
granting the petition of Thos. A. Sherk
for permission to place metal awning
in front of his place of business, corner
Front and Liberty streets.
Aid. Deebach said that he had noticed
by the papers that such awnings were
in use in Chicago and other cities and
he saw no objection to having them
here.
Aid Jordan said that he had talked
with number of citizens and there
was much opposition to such awnings.
City Attorney Daley said that st
Paul has an ordinance prohibiting them
and that he lad seen no such awnings
in Minneapolis.
Aid Weed said that he was opposed
to putting posts and sheds on Front
street. Two other people said that they
wanted permission to put up such avn
ings if Mr.. Sherk did
Mr.. Sherk said that people in bust
ness generally would not oppose such
an awning.
Aid. Weed moved that the report of
the committee be adopted, and this was
carried, Aids Deebach and Leonard
voting mo"
Aid. Leonard said that the health Of
ficer had requested him to bring up the
matter of garbage. The latter should
be dumped out in the river, as there are
two streets to get out. 1t is desirable
to start the garbage gathering as soon
as possible. Some riprapping was
needed where the roads enter the river
The council ordered this.

Paws for the CuIyert.

Senator Benedict appeared before the
council in regard to the Fifth street
culvert on Warren creek He said that
for the first time in the history Of the
city it was intended to assess portion
of the cost of culvert upon the prop
erty owners He thought it unjust to
add this assessment to the grading as
ssessment Some of the people are I'M
able to pay their assessments. One half
lot is assessed S170, and the Goodwin
estate, left down in hole, $195. With
a view of helping the matter along, Mr..
Benedict said that he had labored with
the Normal school board and had Sc
cured 5000 provided the city will as
sumo the payment Of $3.50 itself on the
culvert. The total assessment is So16.
Some of the assessments will not stand
in any court, but if the council does as
requested the people will pay their as
sessments without trouble
Aid. Meyer moved that the city de-
duct $3.50 from the assessment.
w. n. Plymat asked why the city
should not pay the entire $500 for the
,culvert, and let the states 5000 apply to
the grading He was only asking what
was just.
Aid. Jordan said that if it had been
the rule for the city to pay for the
culverts, he would not have these peo-
pie made target of. If it was right
to rebate any of the cost it should all be
related.
Assessor Fowler said that he had
always taken the ground that the city
should pay for the cu'vert.
Aid. Meyer changed his motion so as
to rebate the cost of the culvert, 1921,
the board of public works to make a
new assessment, leaving out this sum
The motion was unanimously carried.
