He attended the State University and
after finishing there, entered the Gus

high position in a railroad office.
There we're many regrets by his old
friends when the sad news came that
Frank was dead.

BIG DEAL IN REALTY
CORNER BUILDING, FIFTH AND
ROBERT, IS TRANSFERRED.

BY a transfer filed yesterday, the Endi-
colt syndicate, a Boston corporation, rep
resented by R. M Bradley, H. B. Cabot
and Arthur Lyman as trustees, became
the owners of the property on the north
west corner of Fifth and Robert streets,
the ground floor of which is at present
occupied by the ticket offices of the Mil
waukee road, and by John Roche as a
wholesale liquor dealer. The price paid
was $12,OO and in realty circles it is CON
sidered a good sale.
The property which belonged to the
estate of William Dawson, was in the
hands of a receiver, President Stickney,
of the Chicago Great Western road, being
assignee. BY him it was transferred to
the Boston people, their interests being
cared for by Luther s. Cushing.
The property has a frontage of so feet
on Robert street and 100 feet on Fifth
street and a rumor is current to the eff
feet that the new owners will remodel
it and make it one of the handsomest
corners in the business district.
This Mr.. Gushing last evening refused
to verify, saying a number of the tenants
held leases and that nothing could be
done for the present except to place the
upper floors in condition for occupancy
as Offices His company, he says, has
several other deals on naNd, but they
have hardly matured sufficieI.'y to make
them public

DRIVEN FROM HOME
THE BETHEL BOAT, UNANCHoRED.
FLOATS FROM PLACE TO
PLACE
CAN'T LAND AT wACoUTA
Rev. Mr.. Morgan Expresses Doubt
as to Final Location Of the
Mission House on
Water.

The Bethel boat is again on the high
seas, craft without a home and little
probability of getting enc unless her own
ers should see fit to have her towed over
to the West side
Driven away from the foot of SibIey
street, she sought shelter at the foot Of
Wacouta, just outside the pling being
driven for the union depot improvements,
but this was yesterday denied her and
now the craft mournfully floats just OUT
side the fill, some fifty feet below where
she first lay. A temporary staging con-
meets the old hull with the shore, en-
trance being secured via the space be-
meath the Milwaukee elevated track.
Last night with the moon under a
cloud and the space beneath the track,
a resting place for number of weary
willies,' walk over the rough fill to
her staging was anything but inviting
and to the timid one of dread
Rev. David Morgan, captain of the w S.
sci, is in doubt as to the future of the
old craft. Repeated Efforts have be. n
made to secure a landing at the foot
of Jackson street, but the excursion boat
and the Diamond 10 line of steamers OBJ
ject to her presence so strenuously that
it is scarcely probable that Rev Mr. Nor
gans wish will be acceded to. 1t has
been suggested that the craft be towed
to the West side, but as this is rather
distant from the haunts of those who pat
ronize the boat, it will not be entertained.
AS the boat now lies, her hull is subject
to the wash of every steamer that
passes, while in winter her position viii
be doubly dangerous.
A meeting of the directors will probably
be called in a few days to decide a way
out of the difficulty.

Bakers court room ought to be an in
teresting place this morning.
The case was brought yesterday. It
only involves a sum of 81. but promises
to be the most sensational law suit IN
St Paul for some time because of the
prominence Of the contestants, and the
brilliant array of legal talent Indicates
that mighty forensic battle will be
fought.
The case is that of Eli Warner, as re-
ceiver of the Saturday Evening News,
against State Oil Inspector Fred c.
Schiffmann, the action being to compel
the latter to pay a yearly subscription
to the paper.
When the papers were served upon Mr.
Schiffmann, he became quite irate, and
declared that he would fight the case
even if it took his last dollar to do it.
He says he never subscribed for nor re-
ceived the paper
In order to make his threat good, and
to show that he does business on the
square, he has thus far retained the fol-
lowing well known attorneys United

above will be in court and in addition,
he would have the services of Attorney
