SENT AFTER THE COWS
MISSING SINCE 1874
John Ryan in St. Paul Looking for His
Brother. George.

John Ryan, of COPYRIGHT. Canada
arrived in st. Paul yesterday to search
Tor his long-lost brother, George RYAN.
VINO ran away from his home in Court
right Twenty-Five years ago. since
which time no word has been received
from him. W
Mr.. Ryan had recently been Informed
mat his brother was married in ST.
Paul a year ago to a woman named
Julia Johnson, and he had the deputies
IN the office of the clerk of courts
search the records for evidence of the
marriage. A thorough search revealed
the fact that the lost brother had not
secured license in st. Paul.
My brother ran away in 1874" said
Ryan to e Clio b e, "and we have
never had a line from him. He was
just boy then, and had been sent out
to the pasture to drive in the cows.
When he failed to return a searching
party was organized. it being thought
that something might have happened
TO him. We later learned that he had
planned to run away and go to the
states, and we have kept up a quite
search for him ever since One of our
relatives In Duluth recently wrote and
said that George had been married
here in st. Paul, and this is what
brought me here. Our mother will be
broken when she learns that
my search has been in vain."

ALDERMEN WON'T
TRANSFER LEASE
refuses to Let Cornice and
Roofing Company
Have 1t.

by tie vote the board of aldermen
last night refused to sanction the
transfer of the West side levee lease
held by the NJ A. Gedney Picking
company to the st. Paul Cornice and
Roofing company. The defeat came
after the refusal of five of the mem
bers to permit the reference of the
proposed transfer to the legal depart
ment to be passed upon as to its le
gality.
AT the last meeting of the board OBJ
Jectlons were raised by Aid Hinkens
ana others because of the fact that
the lease provided for rental of only
81 a year. They thought that the fig
ure should be nearer $50 a month.
Added to this quiet protests were
made by rival roofing firms, which
commended that the city had no right
to give any other firm an unfair ad-
vantage over them.
When the transfer reached the as
sembly it only got through by mar
row margin, and last night the board
practically gave it a death blow. The
transfer is still in the council, the vote
last night only being on the suspen-
sion Of the rules, but the five members,
Aid. Huber, Buschmann, Hinkens,
Rohland and Bantz, who voted in the
negative, say they will vote the same
way when the transfer comes up
again. Aid. Dahlquist was absent.
Which side he will cast his lot with is
unknown.

QUITE A ROMANCE
BACK OF ASSAULT
In Which a Princeton Sewing

Factor.

The dismissal of the. case against

In police court yesterday, brought to
light very interesting episode In
which Mr.. Norman. his wife and a
former boarder at the Norman home.
Charles Becker. now living at Prince

Norman is a railway fireman, living
at tO1 Tuscarora street. and a week
ago was arrested for assault. the
charge being preferred by his wife.
The case was continued until yester-
day, and the same evening Mrs. Nor
man. accompanied by her -year-old
daughter suddenly disappeared. leav-
Ing no word as to her destination.
When Norman returned home and
found the house, deserted, he immedi-
ateIy prepared to locate her for the
purpose of securing possession of the
6aughter. He visited the law office of
Cary 6, Selb and confided his susni.

later Mr.. Norman, accompanied by

ELECTORS MAY SELECT
SITE FOR SCHOOLHOUSE
If They Neglect the Duty School Board
Must Act.

In response to a letter from John
Palm, a school officer of the indepen-
dent school district of Litchfield, in
curing whether the board of educa-
ton, or the electors of an independent
school district, is the proper authority
to designate a site for a new school
building, the state legal department
has furnished a written opinion on
the point which is of general interest.
This opinion is to the effect that in
making provision for a new school
house the electors of an independent
school district may legally designate
the location of the site; but in case
the electors do not do so, the board
of education may properly exercise
that power
In reply to another question con-
tanned in the same letter the state
legal department expresses the opin-
ion that a special election in an indie
pendent school district may be called
on petition Of five freeholders.

DAMAGE AT ATLANTIC CITY.
Not So Serious as First Reported-wiii
 Amount to s3o,000. .4

Atlantic City, N. J., Sept 16,-The tropical storm which struck the New Jersey coast early this morning was one of the severest experienced for a long time. The wind blew with hurri- cane force and while it lasted kept up a speed of seventy miles an hour The storm was terrifying to a degree but the damage was not as great as at first was believed. A conservative guess places the en- tire damage at S25,OO0 or $30,000. The telegraph and telephone lines leading out of the city are down and the fact that the city was cut off from connec- tion with the outside world started wild rumors that the great resort had been entirely swept away.
 Great damage was done along the board walk, where the one story pa- vilions suffered to a, considerable extent. The storms fiercest attack was made on the McClay apartment building at Pacific and South Carolina avenues. The roof was more than half torn off. entailing 8 loss of s2,500. The other largest damage was done at the Hotel Strand, situated on Pennsylvania ave- nue close to the beach.
 Among the hotels whose roofs, were damaged in the storm were the Marl- borough, Metropolitan, Kuenhter, Ken ilworth and Richmond.

 The most serious storm accident re- ported to-day was that which befell the schooner Hattie A. Marsh, whose cap tain, J. B. Mehaffey. and four members Of the crew were drowned. The Marsh hailed from New London, Conn, and was bound from Painters Point. Me, for Philadelphia, with cargo of paving stones. She was caught in the terrific wind storm outside the New Stone breakwater. The captain tried to reach the harbor of refuge but before he could do so, the vessel had to anchor and try to ride the storm. Her anchor, however, did not hold. and the schooner with her dead weight of stone was dashed on the rocks of the harbor of refuge. The steam pilot boat Philadel- phia went to the rescue, but only sue ceeded in saving Mate Norman Camp bell and one seaman.
 The rescued men were taken to the Lewes Life Saving sation. They were in very exhausted condition when picked up.
