Early Fort Ripley.

Pioneer Press: The executive
council OF the Minnesota Historical
society Monday night at the Capitol
heard a paper on the "Early History
of Fort Ripley" by Rev. George c.
Tanner of Faribault.
Rev. Tanners paper was based on
the diary Of Rev. Scion W. Manney,
who was chaplain at Fort Ripley
from December. 1851, to May, 1859.
The builder OF the fort and post was
Jesse II. Pomroy, who still resides in
st. Paul. The construction was
superintendent by Captain, now Gen.
Dana, of the quartermaster'sd depart
ment. In the spring of 1849 one of
the companies of the Sixth infantry,
stationed at Fort Smelling, was
moved to the new site. The fort
was called Fort Gaines, but in 1850
the name W as changed to Fort Rip
ley. The fort was not completed till
1854. It's first commander was Capt.
h. S. Todd.

had not authorized it. He vetoed
the resolution or ordinance for three
men, and when he was st0ppe" by
the courts from paying four men as
regulars he appointed four men as
"specials',' and renewed the appoint

There has been a constant wran-

There was much trouble over the
market site question, in which the
mayor turned down the council.
But mean while all elements quick
ly agreed on the Electric & Water
matter. The aldermen and mayor
together gave testimony to sustain
the city in the litigation, and GER

They differed in many matters.
The fact that citizen or candidate

Is no Indication that he would not

the litigation the city is engaged in.
Vasaly did not originate that liti-

election or defeat.
