SUDDEN DEATH OF ID. III. MCLEAN
GRIEVED BY MANY.

---
Had Many Friends on Duluth Heights
Where Deceased Spent Many Years
Of His Life. Mrs. Mclean Will Again
Take up Her Residence; on the
Heishts-squabbIe Over Telephone
Right of Way.
The sad death of Daniel H. Mclean
last Thursday was felt more keenly |
by the people of Duluth Heights than \
by any other people in the city. 1t
was here that Mr.. Mclean spent many "
years OF his life before and after mar
rage. During the early days he was
engineer at the old sawmill inst above
the fork of the Maple Grove and Swan
Lake roads. After the mill was .des- !
troyed by fire he worked at another
mill located on the Rice Lake road.
In September, 1897, he was married
to Miss Florence OMeara. A young
son, Lynn, now two and one-hah years
of age resulted from the marriage.
Dan Mclean, as he was familiarity
called, was born In Duluth just ~
wears aRo. His mother died when he
was young boy, and during most OF
his life he had been obliged to strug-
gle for himself.
He was favorab1y known and liked
by all with whom he came in contact.
He bore reputation for. honesty, up
rightness and integrity of character.
Ills habits could be emulated with
profit by the young men OF this su-
burb, who are fast entering upon the
threshold Of manhood.
The funeral was held last Sunday
afternoon from the Endion NJ r.
chcurch. Rev. J. w. Powell officiating.
A large number OF friends from the
Heights attended.
Miss Jessie Lynn Of Louisville, KY,
a sister of Mrs. Mclean, arrived IN
| Duluth Sunday and is with her sister
during her bereavement. Mrs. q.
Brooks, cousin, is also with her.
The people Of Duluth Heights are
| pleased that Mrs. Mclean has decided
to again reside upon the Heights She
| will remain with Mr. and Mrs: John
| Mclean for a. short time, and here
surrounded by her many friends, every
effort will be made to tighten her sor,
row, which indeed is most trying
one. We are certain that the Labor
| World expresses the sentiment OF the
| entire community when we say that
no sadder death ever occurred IN our
midst, and everything that can be Will
be done to tighten the burden of the
unfortunate family.
Fierce Fight Over
Telephone Right of Way.
| There was a fierce fight on last Sat
| urday afternoon between wOrkmen en-
ployed by the Duluth Telephone COM
| pany and the Zenith company over
right of way on Palmetto street The
old company has had a number OF men
employed for several days stringing
poles from Mesaba avenue to: Duluth
Heights Just as they were approach
ing the Heights it was learned that
the Duluth company had not taken
the pains to secure a permit from the
Board Of Public Works. AS soon as
this was made known the Zenith COM
Lpany hastenedts. to- the office. of the
i Board. and made the. necessary appIi-
cation. A. crew OF men were quickly
got together and in six hours a string
of poles was. put up along Palmetto
street. It was fight for the most
available route and the Zenith com
pany won. On account Of 1T being Sat-
urday afternoon the Duluth company
could not secure a permit, and not
desiring to get into legal contest
they abandoned the attempt to defeat
the Zenith company Proper arrange
ments were made with the Board OF
Public Works by the Duluth company
Monday morning and now Du1utn
Heiehts is promised two telephones
INo telephone poles will be allowed
on any Of the improved streets of the
1,Heights other than are now located
Through the efforts Of the alderman
all poles, except at crossings, must be
put in the alleys.
Both companies will contest for bus:
| mess on the Heights but as most OF
nun Unions
and as the Duluth company Is unfair
with organized labor it is safe to pre-
dict that the Zenith company will have
by far the greater patronage.
