Controversy Over Fourth
Street Park.
1T IS UP TO JUDGE QUINN
Action Brought to Compel City Re-
cOrder To Issue Warrant
For Interest.
From Fridays Daily.

Suit papers were served Yesterday
by Attorney S. B. Wilson on City Re
corder J. B. Hodapp, requiring the re-
why he should not be mandamused to
issue the warrant for the payment OF
the first half years interest on the
Fourth street park contract. =
The hearing will take place on July
ii at s a. IN. in the local district court
room before Judge Quinn of Fairmont.
Judge Quinn will act in the place of
Judge Cray, because Judge Cray is an
interested party in the affair.
The city council last June made a
contract with Judge Cray for the pur-
chase by the city of the two half blocks
of land on the east side of North
Fourth street on either side of Plum.
Each of the two tracts has frontage
of $50 feet and a depth of l57. The
land was to be purchased by the city
for park and the agreed price was
$3.50. The city was to pay the debt
in $500 installments or larger sums if
practicable and the council should see
fit. The interest on deferred payments
was to be six per cent.
City Recorder Hodapp disapproved and
still disapproves of the whole scheme.
He maintains that the city council
could not contract such debt as that
without vote of the people. He bases
his opinion on that section of the char
ter which provides that the city council
may issue bonds to buy parks, if the
people ratify the measure. He also points
out that the bonds are not to bear more
than FIVE per cent interest, and though
the contract with Judge Cray provided
for no bonds, the city recorder considers
the contract itself as the same thing as
one big bond issue bearing six per cent
interest.
The city recorder could not stop the
payment of the first $500 on the princi
pal of the debt, for that money was
raised by popular subscription, but when
the bill came around for the payment
of the first six months interest, amount
ing to S24l.20, he refused to issue the
warrant The council allowed the bill
but the claim has to this day remained
unpaid
w. r. & c. d. Geddes are the at
torneys for Mr. Hodapp. The manda-
mus suit was brought in the name of
Frederick Kron, to whom Judge Cray
made an assignment of his first interest
claim.

DID NOT CARRY EXPLOSIVE,
Attorney Stuart Of Window Denies
Story Printed In Free Press.

Attorney D. A. Stuart of Window
denies that he was in st. Paul with a
satchel containing Nitro glycerine pur-
ported to have been taken from the
bank robbers at Bingham Lake a few
DAYS ago. The article in question, re-
printed from The st. Paul Dispatch In
The Free Press, stated that he was at
the state capitol to have the nitro
tested and ascertain if it was the real
stuff which was for the purpose of clnch-
ing the evidence against the robbers.
1t seems that the jokers at the capitol
told the story. The Free Press is glad
to give space to denial of it.

Engagement in Mankato; He Got
Away in Hurry.
From Mondays Daily.

FROM hdOHudy Dduy.
Crabbe is in the tolls of the law
again. A dispatch from Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, states that check forger giving
the name of n. Kirbe, who was arrested
at the races at DEBORAH and brought
to the Cedar Rapids races to identify
his partners" was at once identified by
the Cedar Rapids police as Harry o.
Crabbe, notorious forger and former
convict who is wanted in st. Paul, Sioux
City, Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and
Omaha for similar offenses. He has SER
we'd time at st. Cloud, Saltwater and
Anamosa, Iowa. In Cedar Rapids he
forged several checks, using the blanks
of bank of ST. Paul issued by the Min
nesota Land company and made payable
to H. B. Norton. He was taken back
to DEBORAH for trial.
Crabbe is the husband of a former
we'll known Owatonna girl, Miss jose
phine Burns.
Crabbe is not unknown in Mankato.
He played several brilliant engagements
in this city, and was arrested here sew
eral years ago for having broke his
parole from the reformatory at st.
Cloud. He attempted to secure his re-
lease through habeas corpus proceedings,
but the court baked him. He was TAX
en- back to the reformatory where he re-
NAMED a number of months and on be-
ing released engaged in the work of So
Letting for one of the twin city news
papers. He came to Mankato and re-
NAMED here several days during which
time he gained the good graces of a
we'll known young lady, but before he
progressed very far with his love-mak-
mo he found it convenient to leave
town as parties that he had swindled
elsewhere were hot on his trail. He
never returned to Mankato. 81,

Ezra Cooper of this city went to
Garden City yesterday and was pleased
to find the Garden City road in excel

the split-log drag has been used on this
