Mayor Jones has ordered the revo.
cation of saloon license under which
f. Libowski has been operating at
1400 Fourth street northeast. A IL
year-old boy who was picked up on
the street few nights ago in drunk
en- condition furnished evidence to
show that he obtained liquor at

of the saloon mans license followed.
This makes the twelfth license that

Nearly twice as much building was
done the month ending Monday as in
the month of July, 1904. The per-
mits for last month made grand total
of $S70,365, while the 1904 figures
were $46G,63O. This record is rather
unusual, as building operations, new
ones, usually take slump during
July. The big buildings that are to be
built during the summer are generally
gotten under way in June in order to
insure their completion as early as
possible in the fall.
1t will cost nearly $4,000 more to
run Hennepin county during the COM
ing year than it has cost during 1905,
according to the estimate made by the
board of county commissioners. 1t
places the figures at 4s1,967,2s, while
but $4,000 has been required during
the twelve months which will close
Jan. 1. The causes of the increase are
several, the two principal items being
$4,000 for elections, which was not
needed in 1905, and an extra $4,000
demanded by the municipal building
commission.

saw it lying under some bushes, where
the high water had carried it. The
oody was brought to the morgue,

woman's father, Andrew J. Hammer.
The only means of Identification, the

posed by the water, was gold tooth.

up and murder at the saloon near
