9 It is proposed to use the new struc-
ture for diverting heavy. traffic from
the present steel arch bridge extending
from Bridge square to Central avenue
The Third avenue bridge will connect
with First avenue Sc. No street cars
will be allowed on the new bridge, and
as neither First avenue Sc nor Third
avenue s have car lines it is believed
that the heavy traffic naturally will
divert to the side street, thus relieving
the congestion that, at present exists or
the Central avenue bridge and Nicollet
and Hennepin avenues.

vest his money IN blind pool to be
used in pulling off big deal on the

IN THE FIFTH WARD

! The fifth ward is not generally sup
posed to be in the 'possum belt but
there is one .colored man in the ward
who has fifth ward 'possum under his
belt today and says it rest fine. ss
Harvey Clemens, 1914 Portland ave-
nue., bagged the animal. For some time
he has been aware that his woodshed
harbored some sort Of a boarder that
made free with everything, in sight. AS
the visitor always managed to keep out
Of sight it was supposed to be "a rat.
He was found, however, during a clear
ing-up campaign in the woodshed. He
was half hidden in a pile Of papers,
and being taken for a large common
rat was killed. The. animal did not look
right for a rat, and to settle the ques-
ton several schoolteachers were inter
viewed. They identified is as a genu-
inc 'possum. The. Clemens family does
not eat 'possum, but a. colored rousta-
bout fixture in the ward hove in sight
and was made happy by the present. It
is said that it was not necessary. to
offer the animal to the man more than
once. ,gr .SEl

KEPT AN AGED MAN /

STRANGE CASE HANDLED BY THE
HUMANE SOCIETY.
Victim Of I'll Usage Says He Was Not
Permitted to Associate with Rest of
Family and Was Even Denied ordi-
nary Comforts ~ son-in-law Denies
Charges. $s.8

The alleged illtreatmenti and practi-
cal solitary confinement Of an old man
by his son.in-l law, well-known business
man living on West Fifteenth street,
has bee nreported to the Minneapolis
! Humane society and has occasioned con-
siderable excitement among the neigh
bors. The society has taken up the
case and will see that the old man has
better care or another home.
The subject Of the investigation is SO
years old. He visited the Humane So
ing in a lonely room in the third floor
without care or kindness. He says that
he is not allowed to have any gas or a
lamp in his room and if he wishes to
see after nightfal he has to pull out a
hidden candle. He is kept isolated
from the rest Of the family, and is
never allowed to be seen by visitors to
the house, and is refused admission to
the lower rooms. He is never allowed
to eat with the family. but after every.
one else has finished is called to par
take Of the cold remnants of the fam
lily feast. rs r.
One neighbor who wished to visit
the old man and read to him is said to
have been denied the privilege. The
son-in-law is said by all to have some.
STRANGE antipathy for the old man.
The prisoner Is not even allowed to
send his clothes to the laundry nor
given penny to provide for his hum

Owing to her position she is unable to

there are necessarily few and far be-

some time ago to get her aged parent
into the home Of the Little Children of
