SEAWALL DAMAGED BY STORM
Wind and Weather Play Havoc With
Protection

The storm of Tuesday lashed old
Michigan into frenzy and the waves
battled against the sea wall under con-
struction doing considerable damage.
The portion that was being built by
the Frankman Bros Of Minneapolis
suffered most. The staging holding the
engine and pile driver was washed
away and the whole outfit went to the
bottom, strip of twenty piles that had
been connected with sheeting was torn
out and cast upon the shore. The loss
TO the cen uctors is heavy. The
waves wash oyer the piling and every
wave takes some of the fast receding
road with it.
The storm has demonstrated that the
idea of erecting seawall after the idea
that was being followed is failure and
some other system must be followed.
Parties have suggested to let the piles
rs they are without sheeting and then
erect al sheeted wall 20 feet further
shoreward claiming that the outer
piles would break the force Of the
waves while the inner wall would then
protect the shore.

Cannot Recover

In the case Of Fred Mueller VS.. the es-
tate of Gustav Mueller for the sum of
$4,000, the Court decided that the claim
could not be allowed. The facts of the
case seem to be that Fred Mueller, a son
of the late Gustav Mueller WAS living
at junction City, Oregon, at the time
when his father became sick. His faith
er fearing that he might die requested
his son to remove to Manitowoc and
represent him in the business, he, Gus
tav Mueller being a shareholder in the
Schreihart Brewing Co. Fred explained
thai sale of his business, a drug store,
would cause loss and the removal to
Manitowoc be expensive, the father
promised to make good the loss and
thereupon the plaintiff sold out and
came to Manitowoc, Gustav Mueller
died soon thereafter and his son filed the
above claim against the estate, the will
having not provided for that claim.
The case will be appealed.

A Feed Cutter That Will Not Cut The
Fingers of the Operator

After years of figuring and working
