Suit for Damages From Seepage and
Overflow Not Successful.
misunderstood INSTRUCTIONS
Case VIII go to the Supreme Court and Pro-
badly be Tried Again.

Statesman.
The case of Stewart VS.. Noble
Ditch company, which has been on
trial before Judge Stuart in the dis
trict court since Monday morning
was submitted Thursday, and the
jury returned verdict for the de-
fendant.
This case has attracted an unusual
amount of attention for the reason
that the questions at issue are Of
general interest to the patrons of the
various ditch companies.
The general opinion was when the
case went to the jury that the plain
tiff would recover a Judgment, it be-
ing only a question of the amount of
damages. 1t lis stated by some of
the Jurors who sat in the case that
the vote waa II to l in favor of
awarding damages, but that the YER
dict as returned was based upon a
misconception of the courts instruc-
tions The plaintiff, Stewart, is the
owner of 800 acres of land near
Falk's Store and was one of the in
corporators and directors of the de-
fendant company. His claim tol
damages as alleged in his complaint
is based upon the improper ant
negligent construction of the ditch,
carelessness and negligence in th'
management and control of th'
, water. He claimed that by reason
of seepage and overflow from tn
Noble ditch the character of his LAM
has been changed from its origins
! arid condition into wet, swamp
marsh. In fact, the evidence TO

LAID IN GRAVE AT LAST
REMAINS OF UNKNOWN GIRL FIND
FINAL RESTING PLACE
All Efforts to Identify Her Prove
UnavaiIing, and Mystery VIII
Probably Never BE
Solved.

The casket containing the remains Of
the unknown girl who was killed in the
Burlington railroad tracks and whose
identity is still a mystery. were yester-
day removed from the vault at Oakland
cemetry and placed in a grave.
Many people have formed the opinion
that they knew who the dead girl was
during the past few days, but all have
been mistaken, and who she really was
will probably never be known.
james c. Fitzgerald, of Lake City, who
telegraphed the police Monday that he
thought the dead girl was Miss Lizzie
Conktin, Of North Platte, Neb., and that
he would come to st. Paul yesterday to
identity her if possible, notified the po-
lice yesterday morning that he would be
unable to come.
Another man, who refused to give mis-
name, telephoned Coroner Miller late YES
terday afternoon that he had read a
description Of a Miss Grace MCINTYRE.
who was missing from BeIoit, Wis. in
the Green Bay, Wis, Gazette bsft the cor
oner said last night that it did not cor
respond with that Of the dead girl.
The authorities at WinOna, Mimi are
also of the opinion that she may have
been Miss Ella Michalski, who left Ar
cadia, Wis, about three years ago.
Inc missing shoe was found Yesterday
several miles below the point where the
dead girl WAS killed, which would indi-
cate that it was an outgoing train that
ran over her. The coroner said last night
that he would turn the matter over to
the police for further investigation

dismissal from the department, ,,
-"JuStuS Ohage,
''Conie sioner of Health"
The above was one of the first Of
fetal acts of DR.. Ohage on arriving home
Yesterday from an Eastern tour, and was
posted where every member of the de-
partment could see it. No intimation was
made that any enc was busying himself
with politics, but the doctor announced
that he would head it off If anyone was
seriously thinking of doing so.
The notice means what it says said
Health Commissioner Ohage yesterday
afternoon when asked for an explanation,
'and it is going to be respected, too
said the doctor, with a determined shake
of his head.
This department is run strictly on non
partisan lines My men have all they can
do while on duty, without bothering with
politics. What they do outside Of busl-
ness hours is their own business"
Rumor had it yesterday that DR.. Ohage's
action relative to his official family dab
bling in politics was due to the plant of
ex-Mayor Kiefer, who had bitterly as
sailed a number Of friends because they
had failed to remember him when he was
a candidate for mayor at the primaries
The particular ones he referred to were
lily I4l6Al1OSI OlduSoCl1, 4lOf0EAE' AHAceOOAA
and Hammer, of the board of public
works, and DR.. Ohage, all of wnem he
had appointed to Office while mayor. He
seemed to think they should have actively
supported him when he again asked for
the office.
According to the friends of DR.. Ohage
that official is not beholden to the
kaiser" as he originally took the Of
fee on condition that he would not be
no wit an1ifica1 hon0prC-nn He
has since conducted it so on this basis,
and will probably continue to do so, as
Mayor Smith has announced that he will
reappoint him when his time expires.
The employees of the office are divided be-
tween the two parties, though the number
who are Democrats is slightly in ex-
cess Of the other party.
