record is being made by the grand jury

visit made last week by Erickson to
Max Dahms and a demand made or
Dahms for $500 for Erickson's serv-
ices in securing a purchase of lumber
from Dahms & Son by the city. Erick-

money had been promised him in con-

and Erickson left in rage.
directly by Mr.. Dahms, although it is
known he is indignant against Erick-
son. The experience was told by
Dahms privately, but word of it came
to County Attorney U. G. Whitney, ane
yesterday the latter ordered subpoena
for Max Dahms, with a determination
to probe the whole affair.
Erickson's resignation as street COM
missioner was accepted by the city
council last Wednesday afternoon.
With tears In his eyes Erickson had ia
ken farewell, and an hour later was
hurrying away to Chicago.
The same afternoon the grand jury
convened.
Just before the acceptance Of Erick-

ed on Max Dahms. Max Dahms and
his brother Otto, purchased the salvage
in the old Booge packing plant about
ninety days ago. Not long after. the
city. thru John Erickson, as street COM
missioner and Alderman l. N. Stone,
as chairman Of the street COMMITTEES,
bought 100000 feet of lumber from the

The price paid was $3.50 per thous-
and, or total Of $1,000. According to
the story told privately by Dahms
Erickson limited rather broadly that
something would be coming to him II
the contract should be successfully
Dahms, it appears, in
dicated willingness to give any one
a present who had favored him.
Dahms. however had in mind moth
ing like 5000, for 1t hardly occurred to
him that Erickson was selling out. He
had intended to give Erickson Christ
mas present OF moderate value. just be
cause Erickson had acted the part of a
good fellow.
However, 1t is claimed that Erickson
visited him last week. Dahms was told
that 5000 was not an unreasonable
amount. Basing his claim upon the
fact that 1t had been promised him In
Of obtaining the contract.
Erickson, 1t is said, demanded the
money. Dahms Indignantly refused
and Erickson grew angry, trying to
brighten Dahms into paying the money.
There were several lumber buyers near
by who probably overheard a good deal
OF the conversation. When Erickson
left, 1t was with no intention OF renew
ing his demand.
