PLANTING A CITY.

country LILO al A1H0T1Cos
DR.. Heinrich G. Leonhardt of Tona-
wanda, recently supplied almost the
whole city with young trees. At din
ner which he attended he heard the sug-
gestion made that the city needed
shade trees. Immediately he bought
thousands of young elm, maple and
chestnut trees. and as soon as it was
possible had them shipped to Tonawan-
da and stored in a nursery there. Then
he announced that all who would might
have trees by applying at the nursery.
The effect was wonderful. Streets that
never would have had trees were soon
filled with fourishing young saplings
that in twenty years will be priceless
"a magnificent monument to one man.
Two thousand of the trees were dis
tributed in an Incredibly short time
There was more tree planting in Tona-
wanda this spring than ever before
The only condition attached to the offer
was that persons taking trees should
guarantee to plant them for shade 'pur-
poses and to plant them in accordance
with directions given at the nursery.

sas avenue bridge over the Shunga-

the newly constructed bridge was
swept out by the high water in the
Shunganunga creek and the loss re-

this accident.
THE foundation for that retaining
wall was not sunk deep enough to the
bed rock of the creek continued Mr.
Sinner. Instead of going down and
getting a good foundation upon which
to build they simply constructed the
foundation on the bottom of the creek
or very little below it. 1t wouldn't
have gone down that far even if 1 had
not stood out for eXcavating deeper.

BRADLEY WILL SUE.
Receiver to Bring Actions Against
First National Stockholders.

Suit will be brought by Receiver James
T. Bradley of the First National bank
against the reereant stockholders who
have thus far refused to pay up their as
sessment which was levied against them
on August 7. The suits will be brought
against all the persons who have failed to
either pay up or give some indication of
such an act. with the exception of C. ].
Devlin and w. E. Thomas, both of whom
are already in the bankrupt court.
1T doesn't make any difference whether
the receiver realizes anything from the
suits or not. the action will be brought
anyway" said Mr.. Bradley. Che assess
ment referred to is the assessment of 100
cents on each dollar of stock held by the
stockholders. This should have realized
$780, 600, but in fact only realized but ST.
600. There is about $4,000 still collectible
but that is all since by far the majority of
stock was held by Mr.. Devlin. This
amount of $4,000 will figure in the suits
which will be brought by Receiver Brad
ley.
Final proofs of the claims of the First
National bank against the Devlin estate
are being made in order that the receivers
of the DeVlin estate may return an accu-
rate list of the liabilities and assets of c.
