err SIC, 600 From City of Mankato.

Judge Lochren, sitting yesterday as
United States circuit judge at the fed
eral building, heard arguments in the
case of the Barber Asphalt Paving
company against the city of Mankato,
to recover $4,000 for asphalt pave
ments sold and delivered"
These payernents were laid at Man
kate in 1892. Before the Barber COM
pany received payment action was
brought by taxpayers to have declared
void the contract through which the
Mankato city council had arranged to
have the paving done. The matter
went to the state supreme court and
the contention of the taxpayers was
upheld. The proceedings of the coura-
ell We're declared irregular and void.
But Mankato had secured the pave
ments, the Barber company had laid
them, and the company couldn't see its
way clear to taking the pavements
back 1t therefore began the present
action in equity before the circuit
court.
The Barber company was represent
ed yesterday by How, Taylor & Mitch
ell. of St. Pa&l, and Pau & Pfau, Of
Mankate 4 the, defendant by Attorneys

TRAINING SCHOOL IS
PROMISED TRUANT
Humane Officer interrupts
Small Boys Battle With
Big World.

Elght-year-old Arthur Browns ca
reer as hobo was nipped in its youth
Dy the boys arrest yesterday Instead
OF making his way through the world
py MS own resources, Arthur will be
sent to the state training school at
Hed wing, where he will be brought
Up as ward of the state.
The boys home, since the death of
MS mother, four years ago, has been
with Mrs. l.. M. Poston at Forest Lake,
village over in Washington. county.
arthur was never legally adopted by
the Poston family, but was left with
them by an older brother, who agreed
TO pay $40 per month for his support.
The brother failed to keep up the pay
ments, and the board bill grew along
with the boy until finally, Mrs. Poston
looked upon the lad as her rightful
care and has been trying to bring him
up IN respectable manner. The task
was trying one, as Arthur had views
OF his own, prompted by desire to
get out and see the world
Several times recently he has tried
to run away, but each time when
brought back, promised to reform, and
was forgiven. The beginning Of the
lads finish as a wanderer came last
Monday, when he was started to school
at Forest Lake
Instead of going to school Arthur
went to the depot, and the first passen-
ger train for st. Paul had him as a
passenger, a berth having been selected
by him up between the baggage car
and the engine. He reached st. Paul
without being disturbed, but was eject
ed out on East Seventh street. Being
without funds, he walked to Minneap-
oils, and started in business as a news
boy, having secured his first papers by
putting up a good talk.
When the boy failed to return from
school Monday night, Mrs. Poston sent
word to Humane Officer John Moak, of
st. Paul, and Mr. Moak located the
youngster in Minneapolis, where he
was spending his nights with news
boy friend. A Minneapolis bluecoat
went to the house where the boy was
sleeping and arrested him shortly after
midnight and yesterday he was brought
to st. Paul, where he was met by Mrs.
Poston and her daughter.
1t was decided to give UP the task
of reforming him, and last night Of
! dcer Moak, accompanied by the Pos
tons, took the boy to Saltwater, where
an application will be made to the
court to have him sent to the training
school.
The lad himself was quite depressed
at his prospects and did not relish the
idea of giving up his chances to see
the world. Asked how he reached Min
neapoIis from Forest Lake without
money, he replied, proudly:
Oats dead easy; hit de blind and
got as far as East Seventh street, and
den I hi1ed to Minneapolis. I'd get
along alright if 6eyd leave me alone"
Mrs. Poston says the boy is incorrigi-
BILE, and as his brother no longer takes
any interest i'm his welfare, she deems
it her duty to have him placed where
he will be cared for

$4,000 damages against Frantz Schulze,
for being thrown out of the federal
building, has appealed the case to the

says he was busy mailing a paper and
declined to vacate, whereupon he was
thrown out bodily, being told that the
postoffice was no place for loafers.
Davidson complained to Postmaster
McGilIs but got no satisfaction and
he was accorded little more when he
complained to the pestoffice depart

ed in the vindication Of Schulze.
Davidson then brought suit in the
district court for damages. and upon
hearing the evidence in the case a
