COLD STORAGE GONE UP.
Mankato Company Unable to Pay Bills
Presented by Creditors.

The Southern Minnesota Cold
Storage Co. of Mankato is in fnan-
cial straits. owing to large num-
Der of merchants all over southwest
ern Minnesota, including some in
this city. The crash came on Tues
day of last week when creditors,
becoming impatient over the SLOW
ness of the management in paying
bills, commenced the work of at
taching furniture, etc. The furni-
ture was attached by the concern
that sold it to the company, while a
butter and egg dealer of Jackson
was then in Mankato looking up
proceedings that would force the
company into bankruptcy.
All over this section of the state
are creditors, and it is claimed that
the company has nearly 5000 be-
longing to them. Thursdays Man
kato Free Press gives the following
regarding the deal:
"There is little new in the affairs
of the Southern Minnesota Cold
Storage company. The First Ma
tional bank has received the follow.
ing telegram from Chicago, signed
by the company: expect to have
affairs adjusted in day or two"

~. I. Cassidy and Mr.. Howe, &C
companied by James G. Condor, an
attorney, arrived from Chicago this
noon, and they will endeavor to
straighten matters out. They state
that the company has an equity in
thirty-six carloads Of eggs held in
cold storage in Boston and Chicago.
1t has borrowed all that it can on
these eggs at present prices, but if
it is allowed to hold them until win
ter, when the prices will 60 up, it
hopes to realize enough to pay all
claims, dollar for dollar. For this
reason the members Of the company
ask the creditors to allow it to 90
ahead and do what it can, otherwise
there will be nothing for any of the
creditors as the eggs are their only
assets. They will see the creditors
and try to arrange this.
"Messrs. Cassidy and Howe lay
their i'll luck to paying out too much
for eggs They had but little CAPT
tai, and it is all tied up in the eggs
that are now in cold storage. They
have had to do business largely on
borrowed money, and interest and
other charges have eaten up the
profits.
''It is to be hoped that an ar
rangement will be made so that all
parties can come out to best advan-
tage. We understand that Messrs.
Cassidy and Howe will proceed to
organize another company and that
they will continue in the business.
They have done large business,
and if a little time will put them on
their feet again they should have
it"

THE WALKS ARE ORDERED.
Jefferson and Chestnut Streets Escape
the Order for This Year.

At the special meeting of the city
council on Thursday evening of last
week, at which vice-president Is
ham presided, a sweeping order
was unanimously adopted for the
construction OF cement sidewalks in
the residence district of the city,
the only exception to the original
notices being the proposed walks
on Jefferson street, from the court
house to Chestnut, and on Chestnut
street for block No. 6.
The order takes in the walk on
the north side of Wyoming street
from Ramsey street to within two
lots of Drew street, the easternmost
street of the city, providing that the
walks shall be built within sixty
days, and if not, the same will be
built under direction of the city
council, and charged up to the prop
erty owners abutting thereon, the
payments covering period of
three years.
The same order applied to the
north side of ( fifth street from Min
nesota to Washington avenue, a
distance of two blocks, a portion of
which is vacant, and a portion of
which vacant property is owned by
Aid. Gold, who thought this order
might be premature, but was still
willing to pay for the improvements.
1t also applied to the south side Of
Fourth street, extending from Lin
coin street to Washington avenue,
the only walk there at the present
time being 60 foot plank walk be-
longing to Geo. A. Jaehning, and a
60 foot cement owned by A. E. Chip
man.
The most noticeable improvement
ordered, however, will be the one
on Ramsey Heights. Here, the city
will have to assist in building the
cement walk from the bridge to lot l
block 8, Crouley's addition, and
then Mr.. Crouley will have to build
along the north side of Bridge to
Grove, and then on the east side of
his property on Grove, running to
Pleasant avenue. Mr.. Crouley owns
most of this property, and his side
walk bill will be heavy one The
other owners there are E. D. French,
E. L. Comstock and U. H. Bergen
or D. W. Whittet.
There was some protest against
ordering this walk, but some of the
aldermen contended that it would
be walk to the ball grounds and
to Ramsey falls, and that by all
means it ought to be built this year,
and the order was adopted.
1t is understood that Nelson Bros.
have reduced the price of laying
the block cement walk in the resi-
dence district from 60 to so cents
per foot, making the price only $50
for 90 feet, or about So more than
the plank walk would come to. This
will be great help to many of the
property owners, The cost of curb
ing in case a boulevard is wanted,
is another so cents per foot, making
a total of ST. per foot for the work
The latter, however, is not required.
When the Wyoming street walk
is completed THE GAZETTE predicts
that it will be one of the best resi-
dence streets in the city.

VIII Give Boxer $3.50 If He
Goes Four Rounds.

Bob FitzsimmOns received word last
night for the first time that Tommy Ryan
was not averse to meeting him. The
news came to Fitzsimmons in Denver.
IF Ryan is so sure that he can beat
me- said FitZ. he can pick up $3.50 BY
remaining only four rounds. BY staying
four rounds he could not only earn $3.50,
but show the public that he is entitled
TO some consideration. Now. if Ryan is
so anxious to try conclusions with me, !
make this offer to him:
If he will appear at our show at any
time 1 will agree to knock him out in
four rounds or forfeit $3.50 All he will
have 70 do IS to be on his feet at the end
of the twelve minutes fighting. He
would probably make it sprining
match, but ! will agree to fix him good
and plenty before that time.
While I am making this statement. I
also challenge Gus Ruhling. Kid Nc
Coy, philadelphia Jack O'Brien, and all
the rest to meet me at our show I Will
agree to put them all to sleep or give
each of them $3.50. If some of these
bIownards would do less challenging and
more fighting they would stand better
with he sport.
They all know that I am under con
tract to tour the world with Jeffries and
that could not meet any of them in the
ring until the contract expires. That $
why they're tossing challenges around 50

Herreshon's has been confined during

bronze plates which were set up last
Saturday. This is one of the most i'm

these big plates depends much Of the
stability Of the boat. For this reason
Captain Nat, the designer, is giving the
work his personal attention and is very
careful as to every detail
The plates are the lowest and heaviest
to be used on the boat and are nearly
thirty-three feet long, extending the en-
tire length of the lead keel on both port
and starboard sides and tapping over
the lead twenty inches.
The latter IS rabbited to receive it
More than 400 bronze screws six inches
long extend into lead and the proper fas-
tenlng Of these big sheets of metal viii

least. The plates are about five feet wide
and extend up to a point just below the
turn Of the biiges. They VIII not be per
manentIy riyeted to the frames until
after the screws are all in the lead keel
other plans for the midship section are
being bent and fitted, but as yet none of
them are in place In fitting the plans
the metal workers build a pattern for
each plate from light wooden laths, fitting
