WAS SQUEEZED TO DEATH
WATCHMAN OF THE RYAN ANNEX
John Donavan Caught by Descending
Elevator and Probably
Slowly Crushed.

John Donavan, night fireman and watch
man of the Ryan annex, st. Paul, me-
with terrible end between $3.50 and o:5o
Saturday morning. He was caught IN the
space between the elevator and the slxtn
floor and was slowly squeezed to death.
He was discovered dead at 1905 by carr
J. Fristedt the elevator man.
The first intimation that something was
wrong in the building was when at CIV
this morning Donavan failed to turn IN
his watchman's box at the A. D. T.
Donavan started the elevator, which is
a slow one and, after getting In, reached
his hand out for his lantern. Te must
have mlscalculated the speed OF the ele-
vator, and before he could withdraw MS
hand with the lantern he was caught by
the elevator and slowly crushed between
the floor and the top Of the cage. When
he was discovered the lantern was lying
on it's side on the floor. He had pipe
in his mouth
The effects of the terrible crushing eff
feet could easily be seen when the body
was viewed by the coroner this morning.
The heavy caging made of steel and brass
was bent and twisted. The safety clutch
was set by the blocking of the space by
the body. Donavan may have lain sew
eral minutes, perhaps an hour, slowly
strangling to death, or he may have been
instantly killed by the swapping Of his
spinal cord. When found the elevator
was about two feet from the floor below
and Donavan was hanging With the
stomach and the small of the back be-
tween the floor and the top of the Gag
Ing his feet four feet above the fifth floor.
Coroner Miller ordered the city engineers
department to investigate the state Of the
eleva tor. An expert elevator man said
that the accident could have happened
only as described. He found that the
stepping Of the elevator had snapped the
cables and had twisted them and broken
the drum in the basement.
The body was removed to the morgue
for an autopsy. Donavan had lived in st.
Paul for many years and was 80 years of
age. He was member Of the A. 0. H

FISK JUBILEE SINGERS
To Sing mt Plymouth Congregational
Church Monday Evening.

The Fisk Jubilee Singers are to appear
in Plymouth church at o'clock this
evening. This company of singers is
working for Fisk university of Nashville,
Tenn, under the authority and direction
Of the trustees and faculty. The pro-
ceeds are used altogether in the interests
Of the university.
The program Of the concert is made up
of folk-songs of the colored. Most Of
them originated in the days Of slavery,
but some of the best were produced under
the inspiration Of freedom. They have
sweetness and a charm, weirdness and
pathos that have never been excelled. :
The mission of the singers is patriotic,
philanthropio and Christian. Eight mil
lions of colored citizens in the United
States need education and Fisk university
was established to give them encourage
ment.
w. D. Park Of Gloversville, n Y, in a
comparison Of the present company Of
singers with the original company. says:
The voices of all the singers are remark
ably rich, and their harmony is so perfect
that their combined voices seem to make one
rich and powerful note at time l heard
the original Fisk Jubilee Singers of 1874.
Tnei1 voices were rich and powerful but the
present singers far surpass their predecessors
in harmony and In general extent and rich
ness of musical culture. | congratulate Fisk
university upon the possession Of such
band of singers.

A LITERARY GOVERNOR
A River Story by Governor VAN SAINT
Is Published.


Governor Van SAINT has an interesting
story Of old steamboating days on the
Mississippi in the last Philadelphia Satur-
day Evening Post. The part played by
the Mississippi in the making Of the west
is illustrated by the big loads of supplies
carried by the boats in early days. On
one occasion steamer towed enough
lumber to load railroad train two miles
long. The supplies for the early settler
and the seed from which the northwest
has developed into one of the great grain
raising sections Of the world we're
brought in by the river route.
Governor Van SAINT reasons that the
river will regain it's old Importance as
highway of traffic with the completion of
the isthmian canal. Going hack TO the old
water route means low rates and the
northwest should favor the building Of
the big canal. Passenger traffic is not a
dead letter on the river, and the excur-
sion business is becoming important. The
governor discusses some of the old river
pilots and gives interesting "reminiscences
of speed trials

dining-room of the Mills hotel while in
New York city recently. Mr.. Akeley has
recently given $4,000 to the workingmen's
hotel fund in Minneapolis, and takes a
great interest in similar enterprises else
where. In company with New York
friend Mr.. Akeley made thorough in
spection of the great Mills hotel. When
they had finished they went into the spa

1t was workingman's dinner and his fell
low diners were all sons Of toll, but Mr.
Akeley enjoyed it hugely, and was pleased
with the attention given by the waiter
So when he rose to go he handed the
young man half a dollar. Tips are un-
known there, and such princely donation
fairly upset the waiter, who thought he
was either dealing with a crazy man or
a joker. The head waiter treasured him,
however. for he knew who the big lumber
man was.

SUES HIS PARTNER
Litigation Results From the Auto
mobile Mail Contract.
J. FALLS LINTON is PLAINTIFF
He Asks That III. III. Kenkel BE Orr
dered to Pay Him 100000
Damages.

The sequel to, the unfortunate automo-
bile mail service contract in Minneapolis
was made manifest this afternoon in a
complaint filed by Lane & Nantz attor-
neys. John Falls Linton, who has been
manufacturing automobiles in this city,
mas commenced damage suit against
MS former partner, Herman H. Kenkel.
1t appears from the complaint that
Linton was doing business under the name
OF the Republic Motor Vehicle company
and That kenkel conceived the idea of in
cooperating the firm under that name Feb.
l, 1901. Afterwards Linton entered into
negotiations with the United States gov
eminent preparatory to making a con-
tract for carrying mails in Minneapolis.
These negotiations eliminated In the
making OF contract for eighteen months
lof which the government agreed to pay
the vehicle company $17,312.65 annually.
II also appears from the complaint that
before all the vehicles were ready for
operation Mr. Kenkel refused to comply
with the terms of the contract which Lis
ton alleges he made: In this, that he failed
to furnish the necessary funds to finish
the work on four Of the vehicles. Linton
alleges this was done for the purpose of
decreasing the value@of his, Linton's stock
In the company.
The complaint also alleges that Kenkel
went to Washington in an endeavor to
have, the postmaster general rescind the
contract which that official refused to do.
Linton alleges that Kenkel, in order to
affect the business of the company, made
an application for the appointment of a
receiver which application Linton resist
ed and Kenkel was forced to abandon the
recelvership idea.
He alleges further that while he was
absent from the city, Kenkel, without
any authority, made and executed an as
signment of the company's property for
the benefit of its creditors, all Of which
Linton asserts was done for the purpose
stock issued-valueless. He therefore
asks the court to award him $4,000 dam

LET THERE BE LIGHT
The NOrmandie Fence Case Settled
Out of Court.


The dove Of harmony and peace floats
over the Normandie flats. The owner,
Mrs. Jacob Tourtelotte, agrees to dismiss
the action which was to have come to trial
May 20, and G. w. Lang, the owner Of the
lot adjoining in the rear, who last fall
put up the famous line fence, has agreed
to remove it, and is already doing so.
The fence matter created a great deal
Of amusement among passers-by at Four
teenth and Nicollet, and among the occu-
pants of the lower fiat at the time.
Owing to some disagreement, the owner
Of the lot erected a tight board fence
reaching to the second story windows and
extending the length of the court, effect
ually shutting off passage to the street
A city ordinance prevented the reten-
ton of the obstruction as fence, so 1t
was transformed into a parody on shed
with the conventional rent sign. This
spring action was brought in the district
court to have the shed removed. The
agreement is as satisfactory to all con-
cerned.
