PlGGS IN COURT.
Suit For $4,000 Is in the Hands of
the jury.

The suit of Lulu Pigg against Aaron
Pigg for So, 600 was commenced before
a jury in the district court yesterday
afternoon.
Pigg is the proprietor of the Fifth
Avenue hotel. His wife brought suit
and secured divorce six months ago
At the time of the divorce she received
a decree allowing her certain furniture
and 81 900 in cash. She now brings SUIT
on the ground that while the decree
only stipulated $1,000, that Pigg really
agreed to pay her a total of $4,000. and
that he has not done so. Lulu Plgg
c1ainas that she invested as much in the
Fifth Avenue hotel as Aaron Pigg did
while Mr. Pigg claims that he bought
it with his own money for 81, 800 Mrs
Pigg claims that Pigg disposed of his
hotel to Hankla brothers to defraud
her out of receiving more than $1,000
alimony when the divorce was granted.
Hankla brothers had the hotel about
four days, and sold it back to Pigg
The case was continued until this
morning. Up to 2 o'clock the jury had
not reached a verdict.

VIADUCT AT BRANNER.
Report That Santa Fe Will Build
Over Tracks,

The Santa Fe railway is said to be
planning to build a viaduct on Branner
street across the tracks just south OF
the newly purchased Santa Fre lands.
The people living in the vicinity are
very much opposed to the plan, and are
preparing to fight it if the Santa F'e a o
plies for the necessary city permit 10
build.
According to the plans, the viaduct
will start at the north side of the right
of way in the middle of Branner, run
east parallel with the track for suft1-
cient distance to get the necessary rise,
then cross the tracks in a southerly di-
rection, and run west parallel with the
tracks to make the descent to the
street.
Santa Fe officials who were question
ed concerning the matter prOfeSSed 1g-
norance General Manager Nudge said:
There is nothing in that report for the
present.

First street is being closed at West
ern avenue by a stone wall being built
directly across the street Mary E.
Scott, of Fargo, N. D., owns the prop
erty at First and Western avenue. Her

Scott property that has been used as
an extension of First street. In order
to protect his client Mr.. Foster is hav-
ing the stone wall built to shw that
the property is not street. Once a
fence was built across the road, but
