Several members of the board of county
commissioners undertook, at a special
meeting yesterday morning, called for
purpose of considering the proposed
granting of an electric franchise for a
road to White Bear lake, to force the as
sessorship ISSUE Mayor Kiefer, however,
was not ready to take up the question
Of the assessorsbip and firmly opposed
its consideration The result was that
when another special meeting will be held
for the purpose of Considering whatever
business may come before the board"
Commissioner Hardick brought up the
assessorship matter by moving that the
board consider the bond Of Mr. Kitt
Another commissioner had the bond care
fully slowed away In his pocket, ready to
spring. But Mayor Kiefer would have
none of the assessorshir business. He
nr1nly declared that the motion was out
OF order 1nasmuch as nothing but that
for which the special meeting had been
called could rightfully be taken up. In
fact. the mayor insisted that any action
at the special meeting on the question
of the assessorship would, in his opinion,
be wholly illegal and would result IN
further complications.
The mayors stand did not suit some of
the commissioners. Commissioner Har-
dick tried to argue the matter, and Coun-
ty Attorney Bigelow gave it as his opirl-
ion that the bond might legally be passed
upon. This, however did not alter the
mayors position. Pierce Butler present
as Mr.. Ritt's attorney, suggested that the
special meeting then in session might
adjourn and that another special meet
Ing to consider the bond might be i'm
med1ately called. There was some cues
ton as to this course and Commissioner
Lott finally adjusted matters by Offering
a resolution providing for the meeting
Monday. The resolution was passed.
AS to the matter of the electric fran
chise the board found itself not ready to
act by reason of the fact that a new
route had been suggested for the road
The members generally thought that they
should look over the proposed route be-
fore acting and the consideration of the
franchise went over until the next regu-
lar meeting Of the board, May /. The
proposed new route is on Prosperity ave-
nue. from the city limits at the intersec-
ton OF Minneapolis avenue, thence east
on the White Bear and Lake Phalen
roads.
A report was received from the con-
tractor VINO is to macadamiZe Rice street
and the White Bear road, to the effect
that work would be commenced Tuesday
The work will probably be completed
within sixty days.
The board upon the suggestion of Com
missioner Hardick, will look into the
matter Of borrowing money from the
state board Of investment with a view
to more extensively improving country
roads The rate of interest Is per cent.
The matter was referred to a committee
consisting of Mayor K1efer and Com-
missIoners Hardick and Quehl
County Auditor Johnson informed the
board that he had proposition from
Col. Welz, one Of the sureties on the bond
of the Allemannia bank, for a comprom-
ise settlement of the claim of the county
against the bank on a basis of the pay
ment of $1,000 in cash for the $40, 600 claim.
This question will be considered at
future meeting.

HAD A TRAGIC ENDING.
Life of the Well Known Racing
Judge, Col. Nj. Lewis Clark.


Judge, Col. Nj. Lewis Clark.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 22.-Col. M.
Lewis Clark, Of Louisville, the well known
racing judge, committed suicide here to-
day in his room at the CASTOR hotel. Col.
Clark had. been indisposed for several
days. Last night he was attended by
physicians, who announced he was suf-
fering from melancholia. Col. Clark was
up early this morning, but did not leave
his room. He ordered a drink of brandy
shortly before o'clock. and seemed to be
In good spirits. About o'clock a revol-
yer shot was heard in his room. The
door was forced, and Col Clark was found
lying across the bed, with smoking
revolverain his hand. "A small hole in the
right temple9 through which blood was
slowly oozing, told the story. Col. Clark
was writhing in agony Efforts to re-
vive him weresofs no avail, and the pop
ular turfman expired without speaking.
The news of the suicide spread rapidly,
and caused a sensation among horsemen.
Col. Clark was extremely popular In
Memphis, having acted as presiding judge
at the spring races for number of
years. He was a member of the local
clubs, and prominent in social and busf-
ness circles.
The executive committee of the Jockey
club has elected James H. Reed presiding
JuUS0 III SuCCSSSlOu TO COL Clark.
LOUISVILLE, April 22.-Col M Lewis
Clark was born in st. Louis, Mo-, in
1876, and was the son of Gen. M. Lewis
Clark. His grandfather was Gov. William
Clark, of Missouri. Col. Clark was one
of the most notable figures of the Ameri-
can turf. Over twenty-five years of his
life were devoted to it, during all Of
which no breath of scandal has ever as
sailed his name. He was the author of
a majority Of the turf rules and laws Of
the present day, and the founder of the
first American turf congress.
MEMPHIS, April 22.-It is believed that
a letter recently received by Col. Clark
from Louisville had much to do with
his suicide. The letter was in his hand
early this morning, when the letter boy
took his order for some liquor. He was
standing by the mantel reading it. When
the corpse was found the letter was ly-
ing on the mantel. The contents of the
letter have not been made known, as 1t
was taken in charge by Stoney Mont
gomery, together with all other effects
belonging to the deceased.

TRACT
UNLESS THE COURTS SAY so

The Park Board Has Begun to Plan

Inc row between the board of work.
mouse commissioners and the board of
PARK commissioners over the forty-acre
tract now used by the workhouse board
mas hnally reached the courts Applica-
uon was made yesterday to Judge Brill
for an injunction restraining the board
or park commissioners from entering
upon or in any way improving the land
now held by the workhouse board.
Some years ago when Como park, of
which the workhouse now occupies or
uses forty acres. was not the beauty SPOT
1t now is, the council, by resolution.
gave the board of workhouse commits
sioners the tract for the erection of q
workhouse and a farm.
Within the last year the board of park
commissioners decided to improve a por-
ton of the forty acres used. by the work
house. and after considering the matter
arrived at the conclusion that all the
land the workhouse people needed was
about seventeen acres. The workhouse
board was duly notified of the decision
arrived at by the park board, but much
to the surprise of President Wheelock
and the other members the decision was
not accepted as final. In fact, the work
house board politely informed the park
board that the council had given the
tract to the commission, and until the
resolution was rescinded 1t would remain
under their control.
Numerous resolutions were passed by
the park board relating to the improving
of portion of the forty acres in dis
pute and recently the improvements were
commenced by the superintendent of
parks.
The result was that Walter Chaplin
was retained by the workhouse board to
test the question, and the injunction
asked for yesterday was the first step
In what promises to be a long drawn out
legal contention.
