KlMDALL SUIT is
FILED AGAINST CITY
ACTION BEGUN IN CIRCUIT COURT
ASKING $4,000 DAMAGES.
COUNCIL AGREES WITH RAILROAD
City and Northwestern Railway Agreed
on Right-of.way Under Tracks for
the Sewers.

The threatened suit of Ray Kimball
against the city for damage TO his pro-
perty was brought to a focus last week
by Mr. Kimball commencing action
against the city in the circuit court.
The action was filed by Mr. KIM
balls attorney, Geo. s. Power and
asks damages 10 the amount Of s., 600
because of the back fowage OF water
caused by the daming of the Paint
river
Mr. Kimball dled claim with the
council last summer in which ne stat
cd that the daming back of the water
had flooded his property. He claims
that several Of his buildings were put
out OF commission and that much Of
his property, valuable for possible
mineral discoveries, has also been
rendered Of practically no use through
the agency OF the city's dam.
The case has been threshed out on
the council where a special committee
TO investigate the case was appointed
and which committee reported that no
damage was done to the property. In
this connection j. b. Schwartz. who
was one of the active members Of the
board of public works when the dam
was built stated that at the time the
intake pipe was located the board de-
sired to place the mouth of the intake
above Briar Hill creek and that care
ful soundings were made that develop
ed the fact that not more than four
feet OF water could be depended upon
at point few rods above the mouth
OF the creek. Mr.. Kimball's property
is located about half mile north of
this point and Mr.. Schwartz is at a
loss to determine how any back flowage
could be in evidence so far from the
dam when only four feet could be
found at the point mentioned
However the question is one for
jury to settle and il is the intention of
the complainant to force the issue TO

Last sunday was the toughest time
that Crystal Falls has seen in several

rather than place that has earned
the name OF being an old settled town.
Many comments have been heard
about the city during the week over
the boldness Of the saloons last Sunday
and local saloon keepers will do we'll
