$. E. COR. THIRD AND KING STREET.:
WEDNESDAY. APRIL Is. iooa.

The Street and Sewer Directors
yesterday at their meeting adopted
a resolution that'in the future the
Department will not accept the beds
OF streets not at grades, unless there
is great public necessity for so doing
Heretofore it has been the practice
OF the Street and Sewer Department
to accept the beds OF new streets
and then put them in proper condi-
ton for the public to travel over at
a big cost to the department. The
department holds and very justly so
that it has no right to open up all
the new streets, which are little
used by the public for several years,
and accommodate only few persons
and often party wants to erect two
or more houses and thus escape the
cost of opening the street in front of
the property. The department has
spent several thousand dollars every
year for grading beds of streets
decided to it, that are in outlying
districts and they will now call Il
halt.

1t was learned later that Sipiaguine

driven up in carriage. approached
and handed him folded paper, saying
he had been charged to deliver it by

stretched out his hand to take the doc

shots at him. Three of the bullets
struck NJ Sipiaguine, and one wounded

been selling down to $50 a share less
than two years ago and last year
hung around $50 share. About a.
month ago the Company issued five
million dollars worth of additional
stock. 1t was then the Gates party
began to buy the stock right and
left for control. The prices scared
up until they reached the figure
above stated. AT Sl20 a share num-
erous directors sold the stock short
in anticipation of the new issue and
since then they have paid dear for
their short sightedness, for when
they attempted to get the stock they
sold they found there was no avail
able stock they could borrow to
make their short sales. At one time
it looked as if the stock had been
colnered and another deal on as in
the great Northern Pacific, when
that stock sold as high as $1,000 a
share. The par value OF the l.. &
N. is 800 share. Negotiations for
a settlement were on in New York
