Frank Murphy, the foreman for the
Midland Linseed Company, Malcomb
and Thirty-first avenues southeast, fell
forty feet off a ladder while at work
in the mill Saturday afternoon of last
week and sustained a broken leg.
Murphy was on high ladder making
some repairs to the machinery and was
in the act of descending when the lad
der slipped on the oily floor, throwing
Murphy to the ground. He did not
think that he was seriously hurt and
attempted to rise, but found that he
was unable to stand. The other work.
men ran to his assistance and soon
discovered that he had sustained a
fracture of the left leg. He was at
k1 &c 1,or IN. OF
Minneapolis in a carriage and doctor
called to attend him. It was found
that he had suffered no internal in
juries from his fall and the doctor says
that he will be able to attend to his
duties again in few weeks.
Smooth money is good and should
be accepted if it is in common circula-
ton and appears to be genuine, is the
verdict of the jury in the suit brought
In the municipal court by Ernest
Blanchard against the Minneapolis
street railway company for $500 DAM
ages. Two years ago the officials of
the company ordered conductors to
refuse money that was badly worn
and the denomination of which could
not be recognized at sight. Blanch-
ard was the first man to test the COM
pany's order. He boarded an Eighth
and Central car at Bridge square and
rendered smooth quarter as his fare.
The conductor refused the money, and
when Blanchard refused to give 9TH
er money, the conductor elected him
from the car in view Of a crowd of
passengers and pedestrians. The casa
was tried last Tuesday before Judge
C.. L. Smith and the jury awarded
Blanchard 1851. The case will prob
ably not be appealed.
The building committee Of the board
of education has arranged for an cleo
trio fire alarm to connect Central High
school with the fire department, thus
making the alarm instantaneous in
case of fire. This action has been
taken as precaution against any pos
sible trouble in that building, which is
crowded to the limit with pupils. Ev-
cry possible precaution regarding the
safety Of the school children is being
taken, so if trouble should at any time
arise, prompt action can be taken. The
fire drill rule is being rigidly enforced,
every grade school in the city being
required to go through the fire drill
at least once each month. There is no
prescribed rule requiring the high
schools to go through with the drill
oftener than once each term, but most
of them go through with it nearly as
frequently as the graded schools. The
board of education believes the dang
ers resulting from fire have been re-
duced to a minimum.
The Minneapolis Dairymen's Asso-
citation, comprising some 400 members
held largely attended meeting on
Saturday of last week. The principal
matter under discussion was the re-
cent decision of Judge Smith in the
municipal court relative to the new or
dinance requiring shippers Of milk to
have their cattle inspected before i. :
ing permitted to sell milk in this Guy.
If, as conceded in the case recently de-
cided, about two-f1fths of the milk
consumed in this city is from un-in-
spected cattle it is difficult, the asso-
citation claims. to see why the burden
should be placed upon the local dairy
men compelling them to have thei.
cattle inspected which produced the
other three-fifths. The organization
will lend every assistance in its power
to the health department to enforce
the ordinance. The association further
decided that dairymen violating any OF
the ordinances or laws would be pros
ecuted without regard to their posi-
ton or standing.
