The remains OF the late James s..
O'Brien were brought here yesterday by
j. +. Burke and L. Simonet. who left
Grand Rapids Mimi, with the body Mon
day afternoon. The presumption here
that Mr.. O'Brien had died of heart dis
ease was erroneous, death being due to
gangrene, caused by diabetes, with which
he had been a sufferer for several years.
On Friday and Saturday of last week ne
drove from his logging camps to Grand
Rapids. fifty miles, and was able to walk,
but he failed rapidly after reaching Grand
Rapids and died just as arrangements
were being perfected for a special train
with which to take him to Duluth for
treatment. No word has as yet been re-
ceived from John O'Brien. brother Of
the deceased, residing at Kalispell, Mont,
and until word is received arrangements
for the funeral cannot be completed. 1t
is expected, however, that the funeral
will be held either tomorrow morning or
Friday.

100000 In SEWERS
Provision Has Already Been Made for
Funds for the Purpose.

Although the present year is expected
to be slow as to public improvements,
a number of sewers will be constructed.
The city at large will spend about
100000 on these improvements, provi-
sion having been made heretofore for the
use of this amount of money. 1t is not
thought that the work will begin at as
early a date as usual.
At the meeting of the board of public
works yesterday these contracts were

The plaintiffs allege that the defend
ants and Z. @. Hogan OF New Paynes-
Vile, conspired to defraud them out OF
$4,000, and the action was brought to
place the plaintiffs in the position they
occupied before the transactions which
were alleged 20 have been fraudulent
About two years ago B. c. Hogan
borrowed $4,000 from the Minnesota
Grain company, to Re used in the buy
ing Of grain, which was to be shipped
to the grain company. Securities were
given by mortgages IN several elevators
and some farm lands In Stearns county.
Later a change in the management OF
the grain company necessitated a set
Element. and deal was made whereby
l. l.. Corse e. Co. took the securities
and advanced the $4,000 to the grain
company. 1t was later found that the
securities were practically worthless, and
It was alleged that Hogan, with the aid
of the Werners. engineered the transfer
Of the securities, in order to place the
grain company In position OF safety.
N. 0. Werner and his son, Carl Wer-
ner, testified that no deal had ever been
made with Hogan. by which he was to
transfer the securities, and the jury did
not hold them responsible personally, but
held that the grain company was liable

MAY HAVE DOLLAR
WHEAT FOR YEARS
Broker Says High Prices Will Continue
as Long as War Does.

May wheat yesterday reached SLOT
the highest it has been since 1898, and
brokers expect that the rise will con-
tinue. One said yesterday that 1T was
reasonable to expect that 1t would GO
as high as slips.
Speculation seems to have definitely
left stocks, cotton and coffee, and turn
ed Its entire attention to the grain and
provision markets. We may expect this
condition to last as long as war does
probably months, possibly years. In
the meantime we shall have broader
markets and just as certainly higher
prices. We may have wheat at $1.25,
corn in Cos, and oats in the sos"
Not since 1898 has wheat been as
Eighty as during the past week. In
February Of that year May wheat
reached $1.09; in March, SLOT; in April,
$1.25, and in May, $1.S5, which was the
record IN twenty years.

WEST SIDE WAREHOUSE

Fire Breaks Out in TaylOr's Wooden

Fire, supposed to have originated
from a defective heating apparatus,
caused $500 damage to the wooden and
glassware house of George D. Taylor,
Indiana and Livingston avenues, at
1890 this morning, and for a time
threatened the destruction Of the entire

The fire started beneath the floor of
one of the offices on the main floor.
The office was completely burned out.
The flames reached upward and gained
a start on the second floor among a
number of boxes but not much damage
was caused on that floor. The interiors
Of several rooms on the main floor were
also burned out.
Flames were discovered issuing from

PAVING ASSESSMENT
West 9TH Street Property Own.
ers Say Its Unfair and VIII
Go to Court.

The property owners on West Sew
enth street and on the side streets in
the vicinity met in C. S. P. S. hall,
West Seventh street and Western ave-
nue., last evening and decided to con-
test the assessment levied for the paw
ing of West Seventh street.
The assessment was levied by the
board of public works for paving the
street from Ramsey to Tuscarora, and
about 200 interested parties attended
and decided to take the matter to the
courts, and, if necessary, carry the
matter to the supreme court of the
state.
F. A. Krch was chosen to preside,
and by invitation Judge j. w. Willis
explained the mode of procedure neces-
sary to bring the matter before the
courts. He was called upon to answer
a number of questions, and in the end
the property owners decided to form an
organization to be known as the Fifth
Ward Citizens union. f. A. Krch was
chosen president; D. F. Erskin, secre-
tary; c. H. Parker, treasurer; C. c.
Markham, Joseph Machovitz, Joseph
Hamer w. ]. Gronewald and Joseph
Horejs, executive committee.
This committee was given the power
to name a collector for each block, the
side property owners agreeing to adj
vance 10 per cent of their assessment
to make the contest. The executive
committee and the officers were au-
thorized to negotiate with an attorney
and report back to another meeting of
the association, to be held Monday
evening, of next week.
The position of the Directing owners
of property abutting on West Seventh
street was not so clearly defined There
were number Of owners of corners of
odd and peculiar formations who
thought they had been dealt with too
severely, and promised also to go into
court. They agreed to take the same
attorney and otherwise assist in the
movement to have the assessment
knocked out.
The legal points raised by the side
street property is that they cannot be
legally assessed, as they are in no way
benefited by the paving of West Sew
enth street, and further that they did
not have a proper hearing before the
board of public works. The owners of
property abutting on Seventh street
who are complaining insist that the
odd shaped corners have been assessed
at higher rate in proportion to value,
than the regularly shaped lots.
