MONEY DEMANDS

DEFENDANT'SWEAK PROTESTS
ARE UNAVAILlNG
Judge Piles One Order on Another
with a NonchaIanee That
Makes Victim Gasp
for Breath

If ever a man received just little
more than he expected, and If ever the
surprise was unpleasant, that surprise
was given Elmer e. King yesterday
afternoon before Judge Hutton in de-
partment seven of the superior court
when King appeared to show cause
why he should not be called upon to
pay attorneys fees and other expenses
in his wife's suit for divorce against
him.
The King case has had more litiga-
tion than almost any other divorce case
in the history of local courts. The
couple has been in Los Angeles for a
little more than a year, coming here
from Missouri
King first filed charges in the SUI
per1or court against. a Los Angeles
business man named Goode, who, he
alleged, had alienated the affections of
Mrs. Ruth King, from him. He sued
Goode for $4,000 damages, and the case
Is yet to be heard.
Shortly thereafter Mrs. King ap-
peared in the superior court and with
her husbands consent was granted the
guardianship of their little boy, Harold.
King at that time also promised to
give SIS week for the support of the
child. That part of the litigation had
hardly been settled before Mrs. King
appeared in court and had her hus-
band cited to explain why he would
not pay the money
Protests Are unavaiIinq
Immediately thereafter King sold
some property which his wife alleged
rHTn M Trra1k
fore part hers. The new owner OF the
property promptly brought suit against
Mrs. Kings contention on the ground
to quiet title, and Mrs. King in turn
had her husband appear before Judge
Hutton yesterday afternoon to furnish
the necessary cash for her to defend
the quiet title suit.
King did not seem to be suffering
with good humor when he made his
appearance. The judge first ruled that
he pay the sum of $25 for incidental
expense of the suit.
But, your honor" began King, "I
cannot pay that"
"And So week for the maintenance
of the little boy" said Judge Hutton,
apparently unmoved.
"Oh-h-h," said King.
"And $5 a week for the care of Mrs.
King interjected the Judge.
"Eh-h-h-h?" said King, with facial
"And $50 for attorneys fees. to be
paid at once; no. make 1t $75." said
the judge.
"Ah-h-h-h," said King in sad, far
away sounding voice.
ITO be paid at once" said Judge
Hutton, and the bailiff brought the
glass of lemonade.
The divorce troubles in which King
is charged with cruelty are dated to
be heard early in April.

A mum Der of the members of

F|RE-PROOF BUILDINGS
ON SITE OF REGENT FIRE
Thome & Mayer, Fred Dudley and
M0ndeau Estate Will
Rebuild at Once.

Substantial fre-proof build
ings will replace the frame struc-
lures on Minnesota avenue,
which were destroyed by fire on
February 6.
In all, seven buildings were
wiped out, being entirely con-
sumed, except for the stone
foundations.
Thome & Mayer, who owned
one double building and one
single block, intend to erect a
substantial and commodious
block on the corner of Minnesota
avenue and Second street, where
their saloon formerly stood. Mr..
Mayer states that he has already
made arrangements with a
Crookston architect to draw
plans and specifications for the
proposed new building and that
the work on the block will be
commenced as soon as possible.
In the meantime, Thome &
Mayer are doing business in the
small frame structure which has
been placed in the front of the
old site.
Fred Dudley, who IS of that
never-say-die spirit, has already
mmenced wark on a two story
block to replace the one de-
stroyed in the fire. Fred says
that nothing is ever so bad that
it might not have been worse,
and that this holds good relative
to the fire. He is fixing the rear
part of the block, which was left
partially standing, and will be
doing business tomorrow. The
new block will be betGer than the
old one. He has frame building
in front of his old place and with
Garry Brennan and "Billy"
Smith behind the bar, is doing a
good business.
The Mondeau estate, which
owned two buildings lost by the
fire, will, according to present
reports, replace the old buildings
with new ones, in keeping with
the other buildings that will adorn
the block.
When these buildings are all
completed, that end of the busi-
ness district will compare very
favorably with any other part of
the city.

Sewers in Good Working Order.

M. D. Stoner, city engineer,
made an examination Of the out
let of the sewers yesterday, to
ascertain in just what condition
the recently laid mains were,
since the big fall of snow this
winter.
He states that after opening up
the man-hole at the lower end of
the sewer system, where the
covering over the pipe is only
four feet, SO as to ascertain what
effect the long cold winter had
on the system, he found that It
was flowing freely, with no evi
dence of frost, but the amount
of sewage was too small to keep
the large outlet pipe free from
sediment without intermittent
flushing, as the total flow would
not fill three-inch pipe.

SOME GOOD GAMES OF
BASKETBALL IN SIGHT
Local Mems Five May Play "A, A.
AS" and Crookston Queen City
Business College.

There is considerable doing in
the basketball circles of the cit !,
and it is more than likely that
there will be several games
played in the near future be-
tween the local fves and some
visiting teams.
The management Of the local
team has been corresponding
with the famous "a. A. A." team
of st Paul, and it is more than
prob bic that the famous Capital
City team will play here against
the pick of the city. The "a. A.
A. s" intend to play in Duluth,
and it is the intention of the Be
midi manager to have them
come here from Duluth for one
game.
Correspondence is also being
had with the team representing
the Queen City Business college
at Crookston, and game with
that organization is among the
probabilities.
The girls team of the high
school is looking for more
"worlds to conquer. The girls
of the Cass Lake high school
challenged the Bemidji highs,
some weeks ago, for a game, but
recent correspondence indicates
that the "Lakers" will not play
the locals, unless the game is
played with strictly girls rules
governing the game. The Be-
midi girls are a hardy lot and
prefer the rules that govern the
common game.
