Leonard Sehott's Barn Burns.

About IL O'Clock on Friday night<h
barn of Leonard Schott on North Third
street was discovered to be on fire and
the alarm turned in.
The fire department responded
promptly but the barn was OF such COM
bustible material that by that time it
had made such Roadway as to render
the stream almost useless, except to
save the adjoining buildings from de-
struction. Luckily there was nothing
of any great value in the barn as it isl
timated that $25 will cover the loss.
The barn made beautiful fire, how
ever. and nearly the whole population
of the city turned out to see the gallant
fire boys do turn with the hose and
brave the periis attendant upon those
who battle with the flames.

The RIGHT OF WAY
PRACTICALLY SECURED
Electric Railway Proposition Meets
With Favor in the Ahtanum
and Natchez Valleys.

On Saturday afternoon the committee
from the Ahtanum valley who have been
canvassing for a free right of way, re-
ported to A. j. Splawn that with the ex-
ception of few nonresident property
holders every one had been seen and
practically from Jos. Stephenson's place
to Soda Springs all obstacles were re-
moved, making possible the beginning
of the electric railway for that valley.
The men who have been at work for the
project, Messrs. Wallace Wiley, Sterling
Vivian and A. d. Eglin, report unan-
nous feeling among the people of the
valley for the naturalization of the
plans that have prompted them to ex-
tend free right of way along the entire
route.
The surveyors have finished about
nine miles of the eighteen to be located
for the line { the railway up the Natchez
and the people of the Natchez valley are
in line with Parker Bottom and All
tanum. Some opposition has been met
with by Mr.. Splawn in the Mckee valley
but he has every reason to believe that
an amicabie settlement will be arranged
before very long.
1t is safe to say at this time said
Mr.. Splawn, "that the much talked of
electric railroad will soon be reality"

MR.. NOLAN'S ENTERTAINMENT.

Hon. W. I. Nolan of Minneapolis,
humorist and reader, entertained an
audience at the opera house last
Monday evening. and the unanimous
verdict Of the audience at the end
of the entertainment was that MIR.
Nolan was the best entertainer that
has ever appeared before Red wood
Falls audience.
Mr.. Nolan is strong at story tell
ing, at reading or at initiating. His
reading of Dooley before the He
brew club taxed his talent the most,
it requiring both excellent command d
of the Irish dialect as we'll as per-
feet imitation in order to make the
whole appear correct. Mr.. Nolan
had both. Still later came his imi-
tatlon of the aged gentleman who
could not refrain from laughing
while telling even d serious story
Work was required in the imitation
as we'll as in the laughter. and MIR.
Nolan turned the ridiculous into
the humorous. His reading of
East and West showed him to be
an eIocutiouist of marked ability.
All Of MIR. Nolan S stories and Sc
lections were heartily applauded,
and the regret of the audience was
that the entertainment did net con-
tinue for some time longer. The
rain of that night prevented a large
turnout

Mrs. Shaver and her father. Rev. T.
T. VanDolah, accompanied him. At
the hospital the patient submitted
to an operation, but as soon as the

the liver was returned to it's posi-
ton and the incision dressed, and
the news was impaired to Mrs

once. A day or two later Clark was
brought home, and since then he
has been declining steadily. al
though the end was not looked for
so soon.
The funeral was held from the
residence on Sunday. the Rev. G. W.

HOLD UP The EXTENSION
County Auditor T0mpkinS is Restrained
from Extending Taxes on
SeafOrtf Property.
Judge Webber Sets Aside the Judgments
and Queal & Co. Will Appeal
to Supreme Court.

A restraining order was served
on County Auditor Tompkins last
Saturday preventing him from eX.
tending the taxes on land in the
Seaforth school district so that the
same will cover the judgments OF
Queal & Co., Harry Turner. Pier
son & Scbmitz. and others. and
which would, if the restraining or
der had not been issued. have forced
taxes in that district to from 53 to
63 mills on the dollar. Attorney
SOmerville. who is attorney for tax
payers, called up Auditor Tompk ins
by phone last Wednesday after
noon. after he read TIE GAZETTE,
and after observing that he coticed
by the great family journal up
thcrc' that the tex was going to be
extended. asked him to hold of un
til he could have the papers sent in
from the clerk of courts Office.
The restraining order was based
on orders vacating judgments in
the case granted by Judge Webber
some time ago. 1t appears that
after b. +. Bulen was succeeded bv
another person as trustee the latter
asked to have the Judgment vacat-
ed. La this application it was al
legged that Queal & Co., in particu-
lar, entered into a contract for the
purchase of lumber and building
material in question after the mon
eys provided by the district for the
purchase Of the school house site
and the building of the school house
had been expended, and in excess
of the amount limited by chapter
1T, Gen. Laws of 1899, and hence
the con tract was void under the
Statutes of 1894.
In his order vacating the judg-
ment Judge Webber states that if
the motion to vacate the Judgment
had been made by the contracting
trustees it would have been denied
as they voluntarily permitted de-
fault Of judgment, but he contends
thai the statute of 1894 was clearly
passed for the protection of tax
payers from illegal acts Of public
officers, and hence the motion to
would be granted. The
school district is permitted to file
an answer to the original complaint
and then the different contractors
are given 20 days to reply. and the
is prevented from extending
the tax this year
Queal Il Co. have given notice Of
an appeal to the Supreme Court.

no right to vacate the Judgment.
