Mrs. Catherine Sullivan, 1886 e.
Twenty five-and-one-half street, the
mother of John G. Sullivan, the Min
neapolis man who disappeared from
Blackduck, Mimi, last spring, and
whose remains We're supposed to have
been in the woods in the Little Fork
country last week, is still of the opin-
ion that the body is not that of her
son. Mrs. Sullivan spent several
weeks at Blackjack last summer in
vain search for the missing man, and
at the end of it she came to the con-
clusion that he was murdered for his
money. The finding and alleged iden-
tifiation of young Sullivan's remains
has not changed her opinion in the
least. She still declares that her son
was murdered and she thinks that the
story of the finding Of the body was
started, by some of the persons who
were responsible for Sullivan's death.
The city council will refuse to turn
it's side of the building over to the
new building commission. A COM
munication was on Wednesday receiv-
ed from the commission demanding
that the council comply with the act
of the recent legislature, which pro-
vides for the commission to have con-
troll of the building. This is the same
communication that has been consid-
cred by the county commissioners
and also turned down by that body.
The matter came before the commit
tee on public grounds and buildings
Wednesday. City Attorney Healy's
opinion was asked and this is that the
act is illegal, and that by declining
to comply with the request of the
communication it will devolve upon
the commission to test it's legality by
instituting quo warranto proceedings.
The committee will report unfavor-
ably upon the communication.
