WRECKING ATTEMPTED?
West Bound Freikht Said
to Have Struck Obstruc-
ton West Of PiIlaker

According to . story said to have
been brought from Staples this morn
ing an attempt was made to wreck q
freight train on the Northern Pacific
railroad between Motley and Pillsger.
The story, as told by a train crew that
came east this morning, is that extra
No. 40 west, struck pile of ties on
the track at the point named. The
fireman, according to reports saw the
obstruction and hollered to the engi.
neer and jumped. The engineer stuck
to his post and the engine being q
heavy one held the rails. Neither the
fireman nor engineer were hurt.
Local railroad men, when seen re-.
garding the matter, denied all knowl-
edge of any such incident. The men
who brought the report to the city,
however. are reliable parties and there
is thought to be foundation for the
story. The fact that the obstruction
| was placed on the track so early in
the evening would look more like
spite work than an attempt to get the
passenger train, which does not pass
that point until three OF four hours
later.
A mem Der of the crew of the train
which struck the obstruction was in
the city this afternoon and in conver-
sation with q Dispatch representative
stated that they struck two punches
Of ties. one two miles east of Motley
and the other one mile east of the sta
tion. In the first pile struck there
were five, but the gentleman did not
know the number in the second
bunch. The statement was given out
this afternoon that ties, which fell
from carload passing along, were
the distractions, but this is thought
hardly probable, and may have
been given out to prevent knowledge
of the attempt reaching the public
Brainerd Dispatch.

AUGUST SAMUELsON DAMAGE
CASE.

The case Of August Samuelson vs.
the Hennepin Paper Co., which was
appealed to the supreme court by the
Hennepin Paper Co., from verdict
for $3, 800 damages In favor of the
plaintiff, August Sameison, rendered
in the fall term of the district court
under Judge L. L. Baxter, came up
before the supreme court at st. Paul
Monday, Attorney A. P. Blanchard
representing August Samueison.
1t ls very likely that the supreme
courts decision will be made known
IN short time. The case as is very
generally known, was originally
brought on as the result Of injuries the
plaintiff received at the paper mill
about year ago, in which he had an
arm broken in about seven places,
rendering it useless.

The COUNCIL MEETING
Board Of Public Works
Present--the PAVING
Question Discussed

An adjourned meeting of the city
council was held Tuesday evening,
Aldermen Lane, Bastien, Dewey, Ger.
main, Enke and Kiewel, being pres-
ent.
The liquor license of John n.
klinger, with Henry Nathe and Joe
Gendron az sureties was granted.
No bids were received for the
construction of the sewer intended to
run south through the alley from
Third avenue southeast between lst
and 2nd street. And if the residents
still wish the Improvements, bids will
have to be asked for in other proceed
|ings.
The work of repairing the upper
bridge and the tightening OF the iron
rods was reported as having been
completed
The board Of public works-Messrs
". q. Ryan, John Wetzsl and Hokan
Nelson-met with the council to confer
on the matter Of paving on First
street, taking up the question of curb
ing, cutters. etc.
1t was suggested that in the new
paving the crown or center Of the
street be at height Of fifteen inches,
SIX inches higher than on Broadway,
and that S-inche cobble stones, wedged
In, be used for the cutters.
The sentiment seemed to be that to
get the work done properly. com.
petent engineer should be employed to
make the plans and to supervise the
wUrk from start to finish. There
seemed TO be some question with the
aldermen as to the power Of the coun-
Icil to employ an outside engineer, but
there is no question but that the
employment OF such person is within
their right.
Some Of the council as we'll az the
board Of public wcrk, thought that q
better paving than that on Broadway
should be put in, and Mr.. Nelson. of
the board Of public works, will make
a trip to Minneapolis and Duluth to
look into the idea Of tar macadam.
Previous to putting in the paving
an order will be issued as to tie lay
Ing Of sewer and water pipes running
to the several properties along the
frontage of the proposed paving.
1t was also suggested that the
! intersections be raised so as to elop
from the center to all streets and that
| cement CROSSINGS. slightly raised, be
put in.
The matter Of allowing the laying
of sidewalk on First street northeast,
north Of 2nd avenue. en- the natural
!! grade. came up for discussion, and
! brought the remark from MI. Ryan
that If it could be done in one case, Il
certsinty should be considered in the
case Of the sidewalk ordered lowered
on First street. Mr.. Ryan had, some
meetings previous. asked for q right
of six inches leeway in the grade ia
putting in a sidewalk in front of the
7 ilding he occupies on First street
and the request was turned down.
The matter was finally dropped for the
time being.
! A petition for lot of sidewalk on
the West side was read and referred tc
the board Of public works.
A sidewalk was also ordered in in
front of the Maurin property on
Second street southeast. Mayor Moe.
glein was assured that the city would
employ the band for the Fourth Of
July celebration as in the past.

INDIANA Is IN THE LIST.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The bankers of
Indiana are showing a generous degree
of patriotism in telegraphing the treas

offer to permit other securities to be
substituted for government bonds as a
basis for government deposits, provid-
ed bonds released are used as basis
for increased national bank circulation
Numerous kilograms were received
from all over the country. including
a number from Indiana and. as re-
suit, good deal of money in the shape
of new national bank notes will be put
in circulation in Indiana.
The controller of currency declines
to make public the names of bankers
who have awaited themselves of this Of
fer and have thus contributed to the
gradual improvement of financial con-
ditions.
Bankers who do not care to increase
the circulation Of their own national
banks are showing a liberal tendency
TO loan or sell their government bonds
to sister banks so that they may be
used as a basis for new circulation.
