BUYS LAND FOR PARK
Board Approves Contracts for
Purchases on West Side

Active progress towards securing the
land needed for the splendid new park
that is to adorn an ideal park site
along the West side bluffs was report
ed to the park board yesterday after
noon. President Wheelock informed
the board that he had made provision
al arrangements to buy different tracts
of land along the bluffs
The sellers and prices agreed upon
We're: Rose E. and John j. Cullen,
$4,000; S. c.. Staples, $1,000; A. T.
Rosen, $4,000; Maurice Auerbach, ST.
600; Nels J. Ness and Anna A. Ness,
$500. The board voted to approve
these contracts. 1t also granted to the
president authority to arrange for the
purchase of additional tracts required
to complete the area of the new park.
Supt Nussbaumer was authorized
to eXpend $3.50 for transplanting ma
chine which will permit two men to
transplant large trees expeditiously.
The expense of thinning out park
groves when they become too dense
will be much reduced by use of the
machine without risking the loss Of
any trees.
The Dwyer Plumbing and Heating
company, which has a contract for
plumbing work in a comfort house at
Phalen park, will be notified, as the
board voted, to fulfill the contract not
later than Oct. 1. Otherwise the work
will be awarded to another contractor.
The delay in carrying out the con-
tract is said to be due to the fear that
payment for the work to be done
might be contested, inasmuch as
member of the contracting firm, ]. ].

SCHUETZ IS CLEARED.
County Board Approves Alb.
stract Clerks Work

Albert Schuetz, abstract clerk, came
before the county commissioners yes
terday with lengthy defense to the
charge that the Office has put forth
faulty abstracts. and after some dis
cussion a majority OF the members of
the body decided that Mr.. Schuetz is
much abused man.
1t was contended by Schuetz at some
length that the claim of private alb
stract companies that the county alb
stracts are faulty is without reason and
that the only error discovered was in
case where he had only received an
order to continue an old abstract. He
claimed that the mistake was made in
the original abstract prepared years
ago. The SchuetZ document says:
"A short time after was appointed
abstract clerk by your honorable board
and since my election by the people, I
was approached by the vice president
OF the st. Paul Abstract company to
enter into an agreement with his COM
pany for the purpose of raising the
prices for abstracts, in said county Of
f1ce, to at least rs cents per number.

that 10 cents per number, the legal
rate established by law, would remain

HOUSE BURNS DOWN
Fire Completely Destroys Resi-

The. residence Of Robert Dillon, 81
Case street, was burned to the ground
last night by a fire which originated
from the stove pipe in the kitchen.
The blaze started about 9 o'clock
while the family was in the parlor.
An open window in the kitchen fur
nished a draft and drew the smoke
from the house. When the fire was
discovered the kitchen was like a fur
mace and the family fed from the
house.
flames within a few minutes and before
the fire department arrived the house
was doomed. The firemen had difficult
ty in getting apparatus up Case street
hill upon which the burning house was
located, and some time elapsed before
water. could be brought up. Efforts
We're then devoted to saving adjoining
buildings. The parish house Of ST.
Patrick's church, 299 Case street, oc-
cupied by Rev. James c. Byrne, was
slightly scorched by the fire
The dwelling, which contained eight
rooms, is a total wreck, the loss
amounting to $4,000, covered by in
surance. The furniture destroyed was
valued at $500, of which half was coy
cred by insurance.
The fire department had three other
runs last night, the loss in each case
being trivial. Blazing hay stacks at
Randolph and Milton streets, were re-
sponsible for two alarms. After the
firemen had put out one fire and had left,
a second blaze in an adjoining stack
was discovered and another call was
sent in. A bonfire near the new CAPT.
toll building assumed a threatening
aspect and the department was called
to eXtinguiSh it.

Ten passed and again he asked for
something to eat, the waiter hurrying
away without a reply.
Angered, the attorney went to the
telephone and called a messenger boy.
The lad arrived ten minutes after 2
o'clock, just half an hour after McGhee
had entered the place, and no food had
been set before the hungry lawyer.
Count the people in the restaurant,
my boy said McGhee to the messen-
ger. The boy obeyed, and followed

I've been here over thirty minutes

you will not have to serve me as we'll
as any of your white patrons. I will
wait five minutes, and if you do not

Maj. Espy expresses his belief that
the congressman were convinced that
the previous appropriation of $780, 900

thinks that a larger appropriation will

For fever patients or those on liquid

This recipe is my own idea and is
made as follows: Soak teaspoonful
of Grape Nuts in a glass of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the

of fruit juice for favoring. This af-
fords a great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assimi-

the fee, at the same time expressing
his admiration of the manner in which
the knot had been tied, although he
thought Mr.. Gallick should be pro-

necessary for one couple to wait in the

DEATH ENDS THE TROUBLES
OF LITTLE JOHNNY CLANCY
Well Known Character of City
Passes Away at the City and
County Hospital After Brief
Illness Junior Pioneers
Take Charge of Funeral
Which VIII Be Held Wednes-
day Morning

John w. Clancy, better know as.
Judge" Clancy, stenographer lawyer
and politician, died in the city hospital
yesterday from Bright's disease, hav-s
ing been taken to the institution in
critical condition Sunday.
For years Mr.. Clancy was one Of
the best known figures about town..
and was intimately acquainted with
practically every public man. His
ready wit and thorough comradeship
made him friends on all sides, and his.
death has called forth many stories
concerning his life and character
The first public position of note Sc
cured by Mr.. Clancy after his location
in st. Paul was that Of stenographer
for the corporation attorney, place
he held as long as the Office was filled
by a Democrat. After leaving this
place, being ousted because of his
politics, he was twice nominated by his
party for justice of the peace. On
both occasions he was defeated by a
narrow margin. He filed an expense
account following one of his campaigns
that was rightfully considered most

tees act.

pines Sooner Than Expected

According to the last issue of the
Army and Navy Journal the Twenty
first infantry, soon to leave Fort Smell
ing for San Francisco on its way to the
Philippines, may sail from the Golden
Gate earlier than has been expected.
Report has been that the Twenty
first would relieve, in the Philippines,
the Fourteenth infantry, now stationed
at Calbayog, on the island of Samar,
but later adviees are that the Twenty
first may go, instead, to Cebu, on the
island of Cebu, and relieve the Eight
eenth infantry.
IL that superstition proves true, and
the Eighteenth, according to the pres
ent programme, starts home Jan. Is,
the Twenty first will no doubt be
obliged to leave the preside at San
Francisco as early as the first or fif-
teenth of December.
Thus the stay of the Smelling garri-
son at San Francisco may not be pro-
longed,. as some officers had hoped, un-
til late in the winter or early in the
spring.

f. l.. McGhee,, colored attorney. had
lively time yesterday afternoon. He
stopped fight between two peanut
.peddlers, receiving stray blow in the
face for his trouble, and was obliged to
threaten legal proceedings before he
could procure meal at a Wabasha
street restaurant.
The first difficulty occurred as he
came out of the postofice. His atten-
ton was attracted by loud conten-
tlon between two Greeks, John Contoe
and D. Dimitrocopolis, proprietors Of
peanut stands. The men had become
involved in an argument over a claim
for rent which Contoe demanded of
Dimitrocopolis.
AS McGhee approached the row be-
came lively, and in the mixup several
bags of peanuts were spilled from
stand. Without taking the precaution
Of protecting himself from the fists
which flew about, McGhee dashed into
the thick of the fray and received
blow in the face. The fight was stop
ped, however, and the men were soon
locked up at the central station on
charge of disorderly conduct.
Reaches Eating House
Mr.. McGhee then went to a Wabasha
street eating house and took a seat at
the lunch counter. Five minutes pass
ed and McGhee turned uneasily in his
chair, wondering why several other
patrons who had entered the plaza
after him had been served, while he
was still reading the menu. He asked
the waiter why his order had not been
taken. He was fold to wait minute
