RAILROAD BUILDERS
SUED BY CONTRACTORS
Cook Bros, Of oconto. Wis, Bring Ae-
ton Against st. Paul Firm

Engineers from Nova Scotia on the
east to the Pacific coast on the west
will be called on to give testimony in
the trial of the case of Cook Bros. VS.
Foley Bros, Porter & Whalen, which
was begun in the federal court before
Judge Lochren and a jury yesterday
afternoon.
The suit is brought by Cook Bros. a
railroad contracting firm of Oconto
Wis, to recover from the ST. Paul rail-
road building firm a balance of $24,-
901.36, alleged to be due on the building
of the Algoma Central railway in On
tario in 1902.
The defendants deny liability, and
the merits of the case are said to hinge
on the evidence of the engineers of the
railway company who made measure

MAYOR THINKS FLORAL
PRETTY STREET NAME
Therefore Vetoes Resolution Changing
II to South Mackuhin

Mayor Smith yesterday vetoed the
resolution passed by the city council
changing the name of Floral street to
South Mackubin. stating that he did
SO for the reasons that he considered
Floral pretty name for the thorough
fare and that he knew of nothing maxi
ing it necessary to change the name.
The action of the council was taken
at the instance of f. III. GrigEs, who
lives on the street. The name of Floral
was changed on previous occasion,
and then the old name was again ap-
piled. 1t seems that the present effort
to make a change will also fail, as 1t
is not believed that the measure will
be passed over the mayors veto.

decisive, by formal contest between
picked men from the two classes.
At chapel time there was general
air of expectancy among the upper
classmen, and considerable speculation
over the relative scrapping ability of
the two younger classes. Interest was
keen everywhere, except among the ex-
pected belligerents. The freshmen
went to their classes unmolested by the
sophomores, and the sophs seemed un.
conscious of the fact that such thing

but this morning the mines were sprung
and the student body in general be-

announcement that it is to be organ

circle.
At present the fight is between G. R.

White has not been so much in evi'

back, and they have proven, in previous
contests, to be one of the strongest fac

A well-founded report is current that
a third man will announce his candl
