BIDS SUBMITTED ON
SANITARY SEWERS
For Fourth District in East
Part of City.
SYMPTOMS BID S973884
Committee VIII Recommend
Acceptance of This,
SYMPTOMS BID 1898 "a

AT meeting of the Sewerage and
Drainage committee in the office of Mayor
Mclean yesterday afternoon the'bids for
the sanitary sewers in District No in
the esatern part OF the city were con-
sidered and the committee agreed to
recommend the acceptance of the bid Of
ss,7SS.S4 submitted by Sumption & Co, at
the council meeting Monday night. This
bid was about $1,000 lower than any other
bid.
The new sewer is for the district known
as No. (, which consists of the terri
tory south Of Douglas avenue TO Hunter
street and east from ida to Hydraulic
avenue, and north Of Douglas avenue to
Third street and east from Matthewson
avenue to Hydraulic avenue. This sec
ton of the city will be equipped with a
new sanitary sewer and the specifica-
tons show that it is to be of the very
best, both in the material used and from
an engineers standpoint.
-Four bids were submitted to the COM
mittee and by the following companies:
Sumption, Burton, Hallowell and Bos-
P'orth & Hahn. The bid submitted by
Sumption was for S9.7S8.S4. Burtons bid
was s10,7S0 46. Hallowells bid was S11 1850
and Bosworth & Hahns was S11 .99S15. It
Will be seen that the bid submitted by
Sumption was much lower than any OF
the others. The next council meeting
viii be held Monday night and at that
time the sewerage question viii be taken
up. The committee will recommend the
bid of Sumption, and it is thought the
contract will be awarded TO him.

SEEKS TO RECOVER
FROM EXPRESS co,
Interesting Case to Be Tried
in Federal Court.
SUIT INVOLVES S8,4OO
Case Is Brought from Belle
PLANE.
SUIT INVOLVES S0,4OO

Among the cases which are expected to
week is that Of A. F. Clehouse vs. the
Welis-Fargo Express company, in which
| the plaintiff seeks to recover $500 from
| the defendant company which he alleges
he intrusted to their care Blake and
Ayers Of this city are the attorneys for
the plaintiff and H. Whiteside is attot-
ney for the defendant.
This case came from Belle PLANE and
dates from February 10, 1902 and comes
within the jurisdiction OF this court be-
cause Of the fact that both of the prin-
cipals in the suit are no-residents Of the
state. Clehouse is an eastern man and
! alleges that on the date mentioned was
at Belle Plaine, and wished 10 go to Ar
gonia to make some investments. He also
alleges that he had $500 with him and
as safe mode OF transit placed the whole
amount in trunk and delivered it to the
Wells-Fargo Express company receiving
a receipt for it from the agent Of the
defendant company at Belle PLANE. At
ter the agent had received and receipted
tiie tIuIlh supposed 10 contain the money
he began to grow suspicious and finally
opened it to see for himself. The agent
alleges that when he opened the trunk
he found nothing in the shape Of money
and reported the matter to his company
at once
Clehouse holds that the money was in
the trunk at the time it was delivered
to the agent and that he has a receipt
for it and on these grounds is bringing
suit against the defendants for the full
amount. The case is creating Unusual
interest among attorneys in the city, and
the trial is expected TO be one Of great
interest. One attorney stated yesterday
that if the plaintiff can prove that he had
received a receipt from the agent on the
delivery Of the trunk supposed to contain
the $500 he will have won several points
in his favor This is only a matter of
conjecture, however The case Is an I'M
usual one and the point of law involved
will be watched by both attorneys and
express companies Several of the wit
nesses in the case from Belle PLANE were
in the city yesterday but returned to
their homes until the case comes up for
trial.
