BASEMENT WALLS0F
SAYRE HALL TO
Be RE:LA|O
Those Laid Last Fall Are a
Total Loss Work Has Been
Started at Wesley.

Work on the construction of Sayre
hall, the first building in the Wesley
College court, was started yesterday,
and by fall 1t is expected to have the
job completed and four-story pressed
brick structure standing where now
the cool spring breezes float along.
Along with the initiation of the
work, comes abe announcement that
the entire basement, cement and brick
work, which was put in last fall, will
have to be removed. It is stated that
the entire wall is total loss as re-
suit of disintegration, caused possibly
from the frost and severe cold of the
winter. The fact remains, at any rate,
that the work will have to be done
anew at loss of hundreds of dol
lars either to the contractors or to
the college, presumably the former.
The first car of gravel for the super
structure arrived yesterday and cars
of pressed brick and stone are expect
ed daily from now on. The steel for
the reinforcing is already on the
ground, and the other material on
arrival of what remains of the I'M
filled orders.
Contractor Berge of the Fergus
Falls contracting firm, Berge & Hodg-
son., spent several days last week in
the city but left Saturday night for
the east. He will return the latter
part OF this week, however, and will
assume active charge of the job.
Sayre hall will cost in the neighbor-
hood Of $4,000.

At an early hour Sunday morning
a new member was taken into the
Hatcher Brothers corporation of
Grand Forks and Fargo, the new ar
rival being the property of Mr.. and
Mrs. NJ. N. Hatcher of Fargo, and
though perhaps not as heavy in weight
or business ability as other members
of this enterprising firm. it can con-
sistently be welcomed as an able as
sistant at least to it's father who is
vice president of the corporation.
The boy weighs nine pounds and is
doing very nicely despite the turbu-
lences over state fair matters. etc.,
which hang like war clouds over the

visitation of the long billed stork to
the Hatcher home was received in

RIGHT EYE WAS REMOVED
Joseph Fletcher Injured by Flying
Missile. Suffers Delicate
Operation.

Joseph Fletcher, a laboring man,
underwent very delicate operation
this morning at the Deaconess hospi-
tai when physicians removed his right
optic substituting one of glass. The
sufferer was working for stone
mason named Dunken at Clyde, N. D.,
when he was struck on the covering
of the eye by piece of stone which
broke off from large rock. The
jagged edge of the flying missile tore
the fine outer coverings of the eye
badly and Fletcher has suffered great
pain since that time When it be-
came apparent that nothing could be
done to save the eyesight it was de-
cided to perform an operation and
remove the injured member.

$4,000 VERDICT IS
RETURNED BY
JURY
In Case Of Alma Powell
Against the Great Northern
Husband Killed.

A verdict for $1,000 was returned
by the jury in the case of Mrs. Alma
Powell against the Great Northern
railway at st. Paul late Monday after
noon. The plaintiff brought an action
against the Great Northern asking
$4,000 damages for the death of her
husband, who was killed in wreck
at Shawnee, this county, last winter.
Powell was a brakeman, residing at
Larimore. When the train on which
he was running became stalled at
Shawnee, double header was sent
out to relieve It. The engines smash
ed into the caboose of the freight
killing Powell who was seated therein.
The suit was brought under the law
of North Dakota which does not place
limit on the sum which may be re-
covered in the case of q fatal accident
of that nature.
The counsel for the defense, Mr..
Countryman, made a motion to dismiss
on the ground that Minnesota court
would not undertake to recognize and
apply laws OF another state which
were so widely divergent from laws in
similar cases in Minnesota.
1t was an important point, ably
argued, but the Judge denied the mo-
tion and sent the case to the jury.
Among other things he told the jury
that they were to regard the life ex-
pectancy of the deceased, which in
this instance was 81 years; also his
earning capacity, and what he had
been accustomed to pay in for the sup
port of his family,

LAPS OVER Fifteen INCHES
Building of New Filiatreault Block
May Be Delayed as McEwan
Building Occupies Part of Lot.

The old McEwan house on South
Fourth street owned by E. B. Freder-
icks, laps over on the Ffliatreault
property a distance of fifteen inches
and as the house has occupied it's
present snug position for the past
twenty-five years the owner may de-
eide that it has priority right.
The new Filiatreault blacksmith
shop is to be erected on the adjoining
property and it was when the sur
veyors began the work Of taking
measurements that the tapping was
discovered.
Mr.. Fredericks may, and undoubted-
ly will, decide to move the house to
its proper position but if he does not
law suit and possibly a backing out
on the building project may result,
