DOES NOT DISMISS.
City Cannot Get Out From Under the
Chandler Suit.

The suit of Lester S. Chandler vs. the
city of Mankato and R G. Hill had the
boards in district court Saturday. The
following jury is trying the case: John
Davis, Joseph Kotthoff, John Edwards,
T. T. Roberts, Walter Mobiles, W. L.,
Dabie, Geo. F. Yaeger. Stephen May,
s. D. Doty, Geo. Constance. VIM. Hoff-
man and Geo. Kranse.
When the first witness for the plaintiff
had been sworn, City Attorney Daley.
on the part of the city, objected to the
introduction of evidence and moved to
dismiss the action on the ground that
no notice of the injury had been given
the common council within thirty days,
as provided by law, and that the notice
that was presented was defective in not
sufficiently locating the alleged injury.
This was denied by the court.
The witnesses sworn for the plaintiff
were DR.. I. D. Webster, Geo. William
son, Gates Phillips, D. r.. Bowen, J. R.
Thompson, Cbas. T. Taylor, T. B.
Scott, David Morse. j. E. Reynolds, D.
V. Williams, W. L. Comstock, J. E
Porter and Lester s. Chandler. The
plaintiff rested at two o'clock this after
noon.
City Attorney Daley moved, for the
city, to dismiss on the ground that the
plaintiff had wholly failed to prove
that it had given notice to the city
council within thirty days after the
injury. He said that the injury occur
red in September, and that notice was
served on the mayor Oand not on the
council until January. The first no.
tice did not state that any damages
were asked for. Mr. Comstock, for the
plaintiff, replied that the notice re-
quired by the charter had been given.
The general law could not supercede
the charter. The motion was over
ruled.
Mr.. Daley then asked the court to
instruct the jury to return verdict in
favor of the city, but the court refused.
A. r. Pfau Sr., for Mr.. Hill moved
that the action be dismissed as to Hill
on the ground that he cannot be held
on the same cause of action as that
against the city, The court denied this,
also, and the defense was then proceed
ed with. The defense is brief The
city simply takes the ground that it
had no notice that Hill had placed pile
of dirt in the street.
The plaintiff showed that the pile of
dirt was placed in the street the. day
before the accident happened.
Mr.. Chandler drove into the dirt pile
in the night, was tipped out of his bug
gy, and suffered broken leg. He sues
to recover So, 500.

FIVE MORE PRISONERS
Court To Be Opened In Elks' Hall
EARLY Monday Morning, When

Confederation of the Court First.

The officers of the United States
district court arrived on the Topeka,

Judge, will open court on Monday morn
ing at Elks hall. Accompanying the
Judge is Hon. J. G. Hills, of Evanstone,
Wy, who is on tour of Alaska to see
what the countryamounts to. Marshal
Shoup was of the party, and District
Attorney Fredericks, Clerk Elliot and
Deputy Clerk Rogers
Marshal Shoup believes that it will
take the court q whole month to clear
up.the docket. The whole of the first
week, and perhaps more, will be taken
up by grand jury cases, and the trial OF
the indians will probably be the first Of
the criminal business taken up. This
is likely to take up considerable time,
especially II the legal talent insists
upon each one of the twelve being put
upon his trial separately and individ-
ually.
Five more prisoners are to be
brought here for trial, the three alleg
ed counterHeters from Juneau, China

house and fog signal sites recommended
for Alaskan waters bv shipmasters and
others. The appropriation of $4,000
proposed for this purp. Sc by Senator Eos
ter was cut to S3oo, 900 bv the senate COM
mittee on commerce, although the treasury
department favored the larger expenditure.
There Is little likelihood OF any appropria-
tlon being made during the present session
of congress. There Is disposition in the
house, where congressman Jones has been
active in endeavoring to advance leglsla-
tlon of this kind, not to allow any sum to
be expended for Alaska lighthouses until
next winter. The reasons given for this
Is that appropriations amounting to nearly
500, ooo, 900 have already been arranged
for, and that it Is injudicious to allow anv
additional sums to be approved.
However, It is practically certain that
an appropriation will be made during the
second session OF the s6th congress, both
for the lighthouses and the fog signals for
Alaska. and also for a system of submarine
cables for that district. A survey for the
proposed cable, in accordance with Sen
ator Fosters bill. will shortly be institut>
ed, The desirability of the cable and
lighthouses and fog signals is admitted
quite generally.

A. Lobby, who has arrived in the city,
was one of the last men to leave Dawson
for the coast this season, and he recites a
tale of hazardous experiences. He started
out with a horse and sled, venturing to
make the trip over the weakening and dan
gerous ice. Forty miles this side of Sell
WIN his horse broke through the Ice. Mr..
Lobby went in with 1t and was severely
cut about the face by the ice, He scram-
bled out, cut the tugs that held the horse
to the sleigh, and the animal sank to its
death in the chilling, sweeping stream.
The sled had remained on the edge OF the
broken ice, safe Mr.. Lobby walked from
the scene of the accident five miles to
roadhouse.
"After driving out" said Mr.. Loblev at

ton trail to Hootchikoo, then followed the
G., D. cutoff to Lower LaBarge, and then
followed the shore IS miles along the Fifty

ARMY POST SIZE
Deed Will Go Down on the
City of Seattle.
GAVE A BOND FOR IT
Four Members of the Chamber of
Commerce Give q Bond for $500
and Will Take UP Subscription
For that Sum Later.

The committee Of the chamber of COM
merce appointed to secure the block of land
at the west end Of Seventeenth and TWEEN
ty-First avenues for the armv post had a
busy dav Yesterday. They had SO much
to do in looking over the survey of the
property that General Randall had for
mallv reported upon, and in procuring
other necessary papers, that there was not
time to solicit subscriptions for the pur-
chase price of $500.
It was necessary, however, according to
the terms of General Randall's letter on
the subject, that deed for the property
should be sent on the CITY of Seattle, for
the purpose of forwarding the same to the
secretary of war at Washington for his ap-
prevail. The committee therefore gave a
bond for the payment and obtained prop
erlv prepared deed. which was last night
handed to Capt. Hovev for transmission
to General Randall.
The deed Is made out in the name of F.
M. Woodruff as trustee, who in turn made
the deed to the government. The names
of those on the bond guaranteeing the
payment are F. M Woodruff, Laramie
MAYER, R. G. Smith and E. R. Peoples.
Should the deed meet with the approval
of the secretary of war, ami there is no
doubt that it will, orders will be wired
direct to Capt. Hovev to begin construc-
tion of the post at once, Then the com
mittee will take up the work of soliciting
subscriptions to take up the bond, which
will no doubt be an easv matter from the
very general interest that has been shown
In securing the army post for this citv.
