Plans are being formed for moving
the town site OF Forty Mile. Wash, 70
higher ground, where the place will
not be menaced by spring foods. The
deluge which courscd over Forty
Mile early in May was worse than
usual The entire town was covered
with driftwood and huge icebergs and
logs were carried through the sides
Of the Forty Mile hotel. Damage to
the stocks OF goods and buildings
amounted to 10000.
The Northern Commercial COM
pany's store and other concerns had
70 pile their goods on high shelves
and counters. Some OF them were
placed ON RATS and carried 10 higher
ground. Everybody fed to the hills
and slept there several nights. Wet
er In the warehouses stood six feet
deep.
The new town site, as laid out, will
be on much higher ground. Probably
new name will be selected because
Of the confusion OF the present name
with Forty Mile river.

Three thousand rooters. outnum-

The score stood 2 to 0 in favor of the
ap-river fellows when the Iron Man
stepped to the batters' box in the
sixth inning. He had previously net
ted a two-sacker, but there was a
CLEAN OF Are in his eye. the veins in
his neck swelled and the muscles in
his arms twitched and knotted as he
grinped hard the handle OF his favo-

with his feet in the box seeking to OBJ

The Iron Man leisurely trotted
around the circuit of the bases to be
met with silver shower from the
Calno rioters, who now stood upon

while the Pa-do0k-y rooters fell into
inocuous desuetnde, never to be heard

The Iron Mans four Dagger started

1t was nip and tuck between the

The plaintiffs claim that Mr.. Block
not only entered into an agreement
with them to close the deal for the
land whereby the company he was act
Ing for was to pay much more for the
land that it could really have been
purchased for, but that he failed to
keep his contract and made the deal
himself. The suit is brought to recover
what the plaintiffs consider their right
full commission from the sale.
The plaintiffs have in their possess
sion a number of letters written by Mr..
Block, which show the part he took in
the sale, and they have also his letter
of May 10, 1908, in which he says that
it would be impossible for his COM
pany to purchase the land, because the
necessary money could not be raised.
Seven days after this letter was writ
ten, and the contract Cancelled by the
plaintiffs, the deal was consummated
and the Good Homes Land company
through Mr.. Block, became possessed of
the land.
The Good Homes Land company has
for stockholders many prominent men
of the state, almost all of the state
house officials being connected with it.
and the disclosure made yesterday OF
Mr.. Blocks methods of dealing for the
company created something of SEN
sation.
A demurrer has been filed to the
complaint, setting forth that it does
not contain sufficient cause for ac-
ton.

CURIOSITY LEADS
MAN TO HIS DEATH
ssn
James O'Brlen Investigates a
Fire and Is Killed by a
Live Wire.

James O'Brien's curiosity cost him his
life at 1928 Fourth street northeast, Min
neapolis, last night.a;
He followed the firemen into the base
ment of saloon at that number which
had caught fire from a live wire, and his
death resulted from either taking hold of
a galvanized tin pail or his head coming
in contact with an electric wire from
which the insulation had been worn
O'Brien was in George Kajawa's saloon
in Northeast Minneapolis wnen the fire
broke out and insisted on following the
f1remen into the basement to locate the
origin of the fire, after it had been ex-
tinguished. ~
Suddenly he was seen to pitch forward,
when he had touched a tin pail in the
basement. He was carried out of the
saloon basement, but life was extinct be-
fore the open air was reached.
1t Is supposed that the pail had been
charged by the electric current or that
O'Brien's head touched the live wire. Lit
tie is known of the victim, but Coroner
N. G. Williams is investigating the case.

CITY CLERK is TOLD
NOT TO ISSUE LICENSE

A resolution introduced by Assembly,
man Schurmeier last evening was
passed in which the city clerk is or
dered to refuse a saloon license to c..
F. Frerch at 441-443 Cedar street. This
license was granted by the council
been paid for and taken out.
The resolution is peremptory, re-
pealing the former action of the city
council, but City Clerk Redington OPEN
ly expressed the opinion that if the In
cense is demanded today before the
board of aldermen acts he doubts his
authority to obey the demands Of the
assembly.
Schurmeier asserted that when the
license was granted it was not known
that the applicant was a brother-in-
law of ]. c. Sodini.
"This man Sodini," said Schurmeier,
has been driven out of Minneapolis,
Paul. This is the same Sodini that
The st. Paul Clio b says I tried to
go into partnership with"
AsSemblynan Wheeler argued that
as the license was granted nine months
ago and had not been taken out, he
thought it should be refused and
Frerch compelled to make a new ap-
plication.
Corporation Attorney Michael gave
the opinion that if the license is taken
out at this time the applicant must
pay $1,000 and that the license will
expire at the end of year from the
time it was granted by the council.
City Clerk Redington said that it
had been the practice heretofore to
| give licenses from the time they are
paid for, the delay in taking out the
permit under discussion having been
| caused by the failure to complete the
building on time.
But Frerch came in here and fooled
u.s." persisted Schurmeier. "He made
affidavit that a saloon had previously
