FIRE in LUMBER DISTRICT
Bardwell- Robinson Co. Loses About
$4,000 Fully Covered
by Insurance.

Fire, which for a time threatened to do
very serious damage in the lumber dis
trtct of North Minneapolis, destroyed
about $4,000 worth Of lumber for the
Rardwell- johnson company at Twenty
sixth avenue N and First street about
o'clock last night. The prompt and he
roic work Of the fire department, coupled
with the fact that there was no wind, en- :
abled the fremen to bring the fire under
control before it spread from the drying
sheds in which it started 1t is supposed
to have started from the sparks Of switch
engines.
John Robinson, the night Waterman,
visited the drying sheds and reported
everything all right to the A. D. T. at 9:19
p m. He went to the rengine-room, and,
upon looking back, saw a blaze. He
turned in a fire alarm just eight minutes
after he registered his call from the sheds.
Upon the arrival Of the fire department, a
I'LL" call was turned in, which was later
followed by second and third alarms
combined, bringing nearly all of the APP
paratus in the city to the fire.
Aside from the loss to the Bardwell-
Robinson company, four loaded cars and
5000 worth Of birch belonging to Brainefd
Deckert & Blainer company were partially
burned. ALI of the losses were fully GOV.
cred by insurance.

WERE NOT AT WEDDING
College Society Friends Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Fuller Threaten
to Get Even.

Back Of the announcement by Mr.. and
Mrs. Oliver Carter of the marriage of their
daughter Alice to Harry Fuller, which
appeared in T h Journ al last Mon
day, there seems to have been pretty
campus romance.
II Miss Carter was member of a prorni-
nent sorority, and some of her sister
members are saying things because they
were not present at the ceremony, even
going SO far as to wonder if it wasn't an
elopement, because they didn't know of
the ceremony.
The young couple held themselves
somewhat aloof from the campus crowds
and frequently formed sketching club
of two and spent much of their time view
ing the Falls of st. Anthony from the his
toric old Coliseum grounds. They were
the object Of much good -natured Joking in
their respective societies, and both are
known to have made a promise that their
Greek brothers and sisters should be
present at the wedding. Trouble threat
ened, therefore when faithful college
chums learned that Mr.. and Mrs. Carter
were at home at Lake Minnetonka,
The boys had been cheated out of their
practical jokes and the girls out of wear
ing their latest gowns. But the college
friends Of the young couple are planning
to give them areception that will be en-
tirely novel in university circles.

the penitentiary city to inform some Of
his and Earl's friends.
The first man he called in Joliet was
talking to Earl when his telephone bell
rang. He called the supposedly dead man
to the telephone and Ostemeyers was non
plussed but delighted.

COURT NEWS
EXEMPT UNDER CONTRACT

Defense Set Up by4RalIroads in Western
Avenue Bridge Case
An answer was filed this morning in the
mandamus proceedings begun by the city
against the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Mani
toba, the Great Northern and the Min
neapolis & St. Louis Railway companies
to compel them to show cause why they
should not rebuild and keep in regair
the bridges over the railroad tracks at
Western avenue and Holden street.
The railroads allege that in 1882 they
entered into a contract with the city by
which they were to and did construct the
bridges in question upon the condition
that the maintenance thereof should be
undertaken by the city. They allege
that the railway companies are, under
the terms Of this contract, exempt from
all liability for the restoring, the rebuild
ing or the repairing Of the bridges, and
affirm that had it not been for this un-
Outstanding and agreement they would
not have constructed said bridges, as they
were not necessary at that time. 1t is
further alleged that the bridges at g. small
expenditure could he put in flrst-class
condition. The hearing is set for Satur-
day morning before Judge Cray.

NURSERY OF THE STREETS
How the Tiny Tots of the Tenements
Amuse Them
Everybody's Magazine.


The streets are the only nursery the
children of the East Side know. They
have no places for play within four pic
ture-covered walls. Most of them never
even hear of Central park, where the little
folk in smart frocks and gay sashes frolic
on the green. I had seen group of
East Side youngsters hanging open
mouthed, upon the descriptions of an adj
venture loving, intrepid gamin who had
travelled to that far-off wonderland as
breathlessly as if he were a living Nun
chausen. h Familiar only with the sights
and sounds of the streets, the world S
loneliness is sealed book to them. The
tiny girl of that found in Monroe street
one night at 2 o'clock going round and
round with one arm encircling a barber S
pole, and singing softly and happily to
herself, Ring Around a Rosey," presents
picture not uncommon in the streets
of the foreign quarter long after the mid
night hour has rung out over the city.
