DECISION FILED IN
''''''" SCHMIDT CASE.

By a decision filed in the clerks Office
last Saturday, Judge Kirwan held that
the jurys verdict in the action brought
by Mary Schmidt against the J. G..
johnson Company for the death of her
husband, John Schmidt, should stand.
This case was tried in the circuit court
here last June and the jury awarded
Mrs. Schmidt $3O25 and costs of the
action. The decision filed affirms this
verdict.
The court also filed its decision in the
case of Greilling Brothers against the
Central Coal and Dock Company of Du.
luth, and by the decision the verdict of
the jury in this case is reversed and a
new trial is ordered This case grew
out of claim for work done by Greil-
ling Brothers in the construction of the
new coal docks in the upper harbor for
the coal company mentioned. The jury
gave the plaintiffs the full amount of
their claim, and this according to the
decision filed is excessive, and the yer,
dict ia therefore set aside.

new COURT HOUSE
WITHOUT INSURANCE.

The fact that no insurance is carried
on the new court house building is d
matter that caused some surprise wher
it became known during one of the re-
cent sessions of the county board The
building is of fire proof construction and
each Office is provided with tire-prooi
vaults yet it is subject to damage by
lightning, and the papers, records and
supplies filed and carried in the various
offices are all subject to fire damage II
|ts very probable that the board at its
present session will make some provision
for the carrying of fair amount of in.
surance, so that the county will be pro-
tected in case of damage or loss.
Later-A resolution was introduced
at the session OF the board Wednesda y
recommending that the court house be
insured for reasonable amount. The
report was referred to the committee on
improvements

MUCH DAMAGE CAUSED

The wind and electrical storm which
passed over the city Thursday evening
was one of the most severe that has vi
sited this section in some time. In all
parts Of the city and in the surrounding
country its force was felt, and numerous
trees were uprooted, wires blown down
and other damage done. AT the ship
yards large travelling crane used in the
works was blown over and badly broken
entailing loss of about $4,000 AT the
Fair Grounds part of the fence was
blown down aud one or two of the build
ings damaged. The loss is estimated al
$40O to $500. The band stand and pavil
ions erected by John Schuette in the
park which he donated to the city were
toppled over.
Because of the blowing over of two
poles carrying the electric light wires at
the corner of Goth and Wollmer streets
the West Side streets were in darkness
for several hours dnring the evening
al boats broke loose from their moorings
along the docks but all were secured
again without damage
During the storm lightning struck and
set fire to the barn of Joseph Sinclair in
the town of Two Rivers and destroyed ii
| together with its contents.
The wind loosened one of the irons on
the dome of the New Court House and
it crashed through the glass sub dome
of the building to the floor below.
1t is reported that barn on the farm
of John Boldt living west of the city
was blown down, as WAS also the cider
mill of Peter Weber near the village of
st. Nazianz.
The storm was general throughout the
state and much damage together with a
number of deaths are reported as a re.
suit of it.

CITY COUNCIL DOINGS.

The petition for the vacation Of the
portion of South 9th street so that the
Rahr Sop's Company might erect the
proposed addition to their elevator
buildings came up for discussion in con.
| nection with communication made TO
the council by the company. William
Rahr, Sr., who was present, explained
the effect the vacation of the street
would have on property interests held
by him in the vicinity and threatened to
block any action looking to its vacation
by resort to court proceedings, unless
his damages were first made good. Carl
Hansen representing some of the sig
| ners of the petition for the closing of
| the street engaged in Il clash Of words
with Mr.. Rahr over the matter, after
which the council laid the petition over
until the next meeting.
The second exciting event of the ses-
sion was personal encounter between
Alderman Hempton and Henry Bruins,
which occurred at recess. The lie was
passed and one or two blows struck be-
fore the combatants were separated.
The trouble is the outcome of personal
differences between the men which has
existed for some time, and which We're
accentuated by an article appearing in
Bruins paper, the Tribune, Monday
evening criticising Hempton because of
the attitude of the Clerks Union toward
the American Society of Equity. The
presence of Capt, Carle was strong
factor in restoring peace and quiet be-
tween the combatantA.
The council decided to rush the dredg-
ing work in the upper harbor so that
the same might be completed this fall, if
possible. The board of public works
was authorized to open bids on Thurs.
day and to award it to the lowest bidder.
BY vote of to the council rescind-
ed its former action requiring the fire.

The plan of the Citizens Association
to have the city sell to it the Gullikson
farm for factory sites received a setback
because of the peculiar wording of the
resolution introduced. The matter will
come up again at the next meeting.

CITY HALL TO Be REMOVED
TO new BLOCK

The offer made to the city council
some days ago by the owners Of the

cepted by the council Monday evening
