Fourteenth avenue and Washington |
was the cause of it all. I. Anderson,
a farmer from Brooklyn Center, had
left his team standing in front Of

News reached Minneapolis early Tues
day morning of the death Of Alfred E.
Peterson at the home OF his father,
II. o. Peterson, at Bellingham, Wash.
The news did not come as surprise
because of the fact that the young
man had been suffering from tubcrcu-
lOSiS for several years and had been
sent from Minneapolis to Arizona in
hopes that the climate would help him.
While it was beneficial he made the
change too late. He passed away
after several weles of suffering. Al
fred E. Peterson was born in Mime
apolis and was the son of II. U. Pc
terson, former county treasurer, HOW
removed to Bellingham, Wash. He
was 81 years of age last May, and was
! one of the best known and best liked
young society men in Minneapolis. His
sickness and death removes from the
young circles of the city one of it's
best ornaments. He was Il cousin of
Mrs. o. f. G.. Day of this city.
Fourteen years have been required
for the construction of the city and
county buildings in Minneapolis and
the sum of $9,4G4 ,973.17 has been ex-
pended for building which was in
tended to cost $1.5O0,OOO. The work
is not completed and the commission
is of the opinion that at least 100000
more will be necessary to complete the
arrangements which have been DEEM
ed necessary. The last legislature
passed Il bill whereby the commission
was enabled to raise S25O,O0O, but it
has not been satisfied and will neeu
more money to make good. Many
thousand dollars have been used on
the entrance on the Fourth street
side, but they will not be in shape to
accommodate the public and for an
other year they will be boarded up.
With 100000 more the building can
be completed.
The civil court calendar of the dis
trict court is an unusually long one
for the September term, but the larg-
est number of cases are of little signifi-
canoe, being personal property tax
cases. There are 712 of these, taking
up over half the calendar. The court
has adopted a new rule this term in
the setting of the divorce cases, and
instead of having divorce calendar
taking up the complete week of time
of one judge at the outset, the cases
are set few each day all through
the term. This provides for more at
tention being paid to the divorce
cases, and prevents any "railroading"
that attorneys might try, and there is
an opportunity for, when there are
from fifteen to twenty cases set for
one day.
John E. Holmberg, sheriff of Henne-
pin county from 1894 to 1893, has been
nominated for state treasurer by the
Republicans of Colorado. Mr.. Holm
berg removed to Denver shortly after
leaving the sheriffs Office here, and
became active in political circles there
as he was here. He was named at
the Colorado state convention held in
Denver yesterday. Mr.. Holmberg is a
brother-in-law of G. A. Smith, the
local lumberman, who received private
advices today confirming the intelli-
gence. While in this city Mr. Holm
berg was engaged in the real estate
business. He was sheriff during the
trial Of Harry Hayward, and presided
at the famous execution. He was first
nominated in 1894, defeating James
H. Eye, was reelected in 1896, and in
1898 was re-nominated, but defeated
at the polls by Alonzo Philips.
A twenty-year search for her chill
dren is the pathetic story of the life
of Mrs. Mary Sheldon of Denver, who
has arrived in the Twin Cities in
search of those she parted with twenty
years ago. Ed1.lund Way, the first
husband of Mrs. Sheldon, died in st.
Joseph, Mo-, score of years ago. The
wife was compelled to give up her
son John, aged nine years, and a
daughter, Minnie, aged six years, be-
