discovered her in a senseleSs condition.

FAVOR CITY OWNING
IT'S OWN LIGHT PLANT
Lighting Franchise Committee to In
Vestieate the Proposition.

Municipal ownership is to have an
important part in the report and in
designations of the lighting franchise
committee lately named by President
Haas, Of the common council.
No less than three APPLICATIONS for
lighting and heating franchises are
now pending before the council and the
work of the committee will be the as
certainment of the best conditions the
city should exact for a concession. AS
the Gas company's franchise expires
in 1907 a number of the committee
favor the city owning it's own lighting
plant, and it is expected that recon-
mendation to this effect will be forth
coming.
The proposition is for the city to ac-
quire lighting plants now in existence
the same as it did the water works
If street and commercial lighting was
in charge of a board the same as the
water system is, it is said the cost tC

ALDERMEN WILL
OPPOSE OWL CARS
Assembly Measure Believed
to Be Slated for Defeat
Without a Hearing.


The board of aldermen will meet this
evening and, according to city hall
gossip will make short work Of the
several street car measures that have
emanaeed from the assembly.
The principal of these is the ''owl
car" ordinance, a measure that the
street car company does not want and
is making every effort to defeat. The
morals of the youth of St. Paul seem
to have first place in the minds of
those opposing the measure, and with
that as their argument the majority
will in all probability vote it down.
Some want the ordinance sent to the
committee on streets in order that
those working at night may be given N
hearing, but even that is to be refused
if the opposition can muster sufficient
strength.
Another measure said to be DOOM
ed to defeat is an ordinance calling
for five and en-minute service on
the Grand avenue and Lafayette car
line. Officials of the street car COM
pany are billed to be in attendance
and protest against it's passage on the
ground that such a service now eXiSSs.

Judge Bum Decides That Famous Lit.

ST have concluded to restore Cooley

case of Frank Cooley.
For several years Cooley has had a
guardian appointed by law at the in

He is rich, and although he is sub
ject to a mental malady that at times
causes him to ina CINE he hears strange
rappings and derogatory remarks di-

insane, as the ruling of Judge Bum
states.

SANBORNS LOSE
IN LEVEE SUIT
Individual May Not Recover
for Public
Wrong.

An important decision was handed
down by Judge Bum yesterday in re-
gard to the West side levee grants.
He announced it as his opinion that, if
the terms governing those grants are
not complied with, it is a public
wrong; and that the city, rather than
individual property owners. must re-
deem it,
An easement was recently given the
city by Sanborn Bros. in West side
property for street and levee purposes,
but later they sued to regain posses
sion on. the ground that the leasing
of the property to Frank Van Duyne
was violation Of the terms of their
grant.
The court held that as the Sanborns
had given up possession and right of
ownership to the properly they cannot
seek relief as private citizens for What
is a public wrong.
