Citizens Protest Against Water
C0mpany'S Plans.
WILL FIGHT THE RESERVOIR
Consider 1t a Menace to People and
Property, and VIII Not Per-
NIT Its Construction,

The citizens Of Walkerville, in a largely
attended mass meeting, held Saturday
evening, protested vigorously against the
construction of a reservoir, by the Butte
Water company, in the gulch above the
hill city. The meeting was very gener-
ally attended and the sentiment express
ed was decidedly one sided, and a COM
mittee, composed of Walkerville's repre-
sentative citizens, vas appointed to work
with the city council, to take the neces-
sary legal steps to prevent the carrying
out of the water company's plans.
The meeting was called to order by At
torney Charles O'Donnell, who stated it's
purpose. He said Mayor J.. C. Briney had
deemed 1t expedient to issue an official
call for the meeting for the purpose Of
crystalizing public sentiment against a
project which was a menace to Walker
vile. He asked for nominations for
chairman n secretary. Alderman Sims
was chosen to preside and O. M. Lewis
elected secretary. The water company
was represented by it's general manager,
Eugene Carroll.
Joeph Annear was the first speaker. He
said he had long been a resident of Walk
erville, and owned considerable property
on the east and west side Of Main street
near the mouth Of the gulch in which the
water company proposed to construct the
reservoir. He was of the opinion that
this property would not be worth one
half it's present valuation if the water
company was allowed to carry out it's
present plans. He further said he was
q nn0hnlnin md Innury hnrrv c~,oo
voirs were constructed, and no matter
how strongly 1t was built the lives Of the
people below 1t would be endangered and
property values deprecated because of
Its construction. He desired to be put on
record as emphatically opposed to the
reservoir plan.
Joseph Broughton said that while he
owned no property along the gulch in
which the company proposed to construct
it's reservoir he a the interests of the
citizens of Walkerville at heart and wish
ed his voice recorded as against the
project.
Mayor j.. c. Briney then addressed the
assembly. He stated that about 10 DAYS
ago Attorney j. b. Welcome and Eugene
Carroll interviewed the members of the
city council with reference to the pro-
posed reservoir. They submitted maps
and plans of the reservoir but did not ask
permission of the council to begin the
work of the construction. He said he
was opposed to the building of the reser-
voir, and would endeavor to see that the
will Of the people of Walkerville was
carried out.
The principal speech of the evening was
made by Charles O'Donnell, who went
over the GROUND thoroughly. He said his
daughter owned several buildings in the
gulch below the reservoir site, and aside
IRON this. as an old-time resident
OF Walkerville he was opposed to
anything tending to depreciate the
value Of the holdings of his fell
low citizens, or was in any way a
to the lives Of people residing
below the reservoir. He was of the opin-
ion that if the reservoir was built prom

her to leave his bed and board. Referring
to her relations with Lyman A. Sisley, he
says he kindly and considerably endeav-
company, but failed to accomplish his OBJ
5ect; that by her lascivious and unchaste
conduct she has FORFEITED the respect of

that she was rendered nervous and un-
able to sleep by his alleged acts of cruel
~, and maintains that she was a good

her allegation of alleged illness on ac-

CLARK...CHAPIN.
A Pleasant Afternoon Wedding in Man.
kat0 Friday,

At two o'clock Friday afternoon,
at the residence of the brides mother.
Mrs. Lavina E Chaplin, 103 Locust St.,
occurred the marriage of Mr.. Frederick
James Clark and Miss Marion Alice
Chaplin. Nearly the entire first floor
was thrown open to the guests, and the
rooms were prettily decorated with
palms, white chrysanthemums and 9TH
er cut flowers. The ceremony was per-
formed in the front parlor by DR.. John
Merritte Driver, of the M. E. church.
The bridal procession was formed in
the hallway. Just as the clock chimed
two strokes, the sweet strains of we'd
ding march, rendered by Miss Amy
Hickok, added charm to the al
ready beautiful scene. The marriage
rites were witnessed by about forty five
guests, relatives and friends of the
newly welded couple. When an OPP,
portunity had been given all to express
their congratulations and well wishes,
the entire party sat down to delicious
repast.
The bride looked very attractive in a
plain blue gown, with white lace and
crepon, and carried bouquet of white
carnations. She is one of the favorite
young ladies of Mankato, having grown
to womanhood in this city, and her
many estimable qualities have attracted
to her the warmest friendship of all
who have enjoyed her acquaintance.
Miss Chaplin is a graduate of the class
of 94, from the Mankato Normal
school, and has taught in the public
schools of the state for several years.
Mr.. Clark is engaged in the hardware
business at Walnut Grove. He is
most excellent young man, industrious,
manly, of correct habits, and one who is
bound to succeed anywhere.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark took the 6:45 p.
N. train on the Northwestern road for
Walnut Grove. A number of young
people accompanied the party to the
junction, and all wish them happy
life. Those who attended the wedding
from out of town were Miss Clara
Woodruff, of Elgin, Mimi. Miss Isabel
Cornish, and Miss Minnie Hayes, of
Vernon Center.
