THOUGHT HER LAND LOST
AGED WOMAN DECEIVED BY DE-
SIGNING RELATIVES WILL HAVE
BEST LEGAL ADVICE.

Ignorant Of the law, and, the prey of
designing relatives, an old woman who
has recently come under the protection
Of the Associated Charities has been
kept from using property ample for the
support Of her declining years.
Tho her other property is dissipated,
she is still the owner Of sixty acres of
land in North Dakota, Of sufficient mar
ket value to provide for her. Several
years ago her deed to the property was
destroyed by fire and her relatives, who
were anxious to have the property come
to them, told her that she had lost her
title with the deed. She was ignorant
Of the law and believed them. They
have been keeping an eye on the prop
erty and paying the taxes while she
imagined herself to be entirely desti-
tute. :s' = t,.s -..s....5.s -. ....I.
The case, came before the Associated
Charities a. few days ago and Manager
E. D. Solenberger has turned it over to
the legal aid department for investiga-
ton One Of the several lawyers who
give their services to the association
will take the case in hand. The state
ments made by the relatives to induce
the old lady to abandon her property
were entirely false and they are liable
to find themselves out the amount OF
the taxes they have paid in their at
| tempt to defraud her. =" r-ts

ninth avenue NE and Taylor street, and
fell heavily, severing the arteries and
large veins in his left wrist The
blood spurted from the cut in stream,
and the injured man realized that un-
less help came soon he would bleed to
death. Suddenly he remembered that
Miss Newkirk, who lives at 1915 TWEEN
ty-nlnth avenue NE, was medical stu
dent. With great difficulty he made
his way to her home, the blood stream
there he was already very weak from
the loss of SO much blood, and he had
barely strength enough to ring the bell.
Miss Newkirk did not scream or
faint at the sight of the bleeding man.
s re coolly set to work to stop the flow
| of blood, and in trice had improvised
tourniquet and bandages to do the
work. The physician who takes care
Of the members Of Mr.: Graham s lodge

TO USE METROPOLITAN
Varsity Dramatic Club Will Appear at
Real Theater.

The University Dramatic club will
not play in the "home grounds after
all. At a meeting Of the whole club
yesterday, it was decided that g Cricket
on the HEARTH and tNance Oldfield'
could not be produced to the best adj
vantage on the university chapel stage.
Accordingly, arrangements have been
made with the Metropolitan theater
for the production of the two plays
Friday afternoon, Nov. 8.
The club found that the recommends
lions Of the more experienced members
Of the casts who. did not like the chapel
and wanted downtown theater were
well founded, and after considering the
expenses involved in altering the chapel
stage, the business manager Of the club
was authorized to make contract with
the Metropolitan. r."
Daily rehearsals are now the order
of the day for all Of those who are to
take part in the play.

QUIT WORK ON SEWER
Bondsmen for e. J. kirkland Give Up
Because Of Quicksand,

Bondsmen Tor Il. j. kirkland Give Up
Because Of Quicksand.
Work on the St. Anthony Park sewer
has been stopped, the bondsmen for
p. j: kirkland, the contractor who
abandoned the job, having followed his
example. They have asked for con-
ference with special committees from
the city council and thelc city engineer.
Early in 1904 Kirkland took the con-
tract for constructing 73a-foot tunnel
from the river to Eustis street and
Railway place, to sink and line shaft
1875 feet deep at this point and to
extend the sewer up Eustis street to
Bayard street. Mr.. Kirkland COM
pleted the tunneling of the main sew
er from the river to Bayard street and
was at work on the shaft when he be-
came discouraged by the quicksands he
encountered and threw up the contract.
The bondsmen tried to continue the
work, but failed. -.
ENGINEERS say that if Mr.. kirkland
had used heavier timbers and exercised
more care in driving the sheathing he
could. have gotten thru the quicksands
1t will, cost from $4,000 to $4,000 to
sink another shaft and as the city has
retained only $4,000 on the contract
the additional money must be secured
in some other way. ~
