THE CITY LOSES
The Expected Has Happened,
and the City Must Pay the
Freiqht.

Word was received in this city Tues
day aft ernoon from Madison announc-
ing the fact that The decision of the
Circuit Court of this county. vas
affirmed by the Supreme Court Of the
State of Wisconsin in the case of the
City of Grand Rapids VS. N A
Bogoger and Rosa Bognger, his wife.
The particulars in the trial of this
case in the Circuit Court are too well
known to the citizens of Grand Rapids
for US to review the merits of the case.
Vine street has been Widened, and
Mr.. Bogoger has all his buildings back
in place and nearly ready for occu-
pancy. After the trial Of the case in
the Circuit Court. and the jury of
twelve men had passed upon the mer-
its of it, and granted Mr.. and Mrs
Bogogtr d judgment of $1,000 and
costs. it was the majority sentiment
of the tax payers of this city that the
judgment be paid and the matter
dropped. But the city attorney and
the common council were unanimous
w of the opinion that if the case was
appeuleu 10 The supreme Court, that
the judgment could be reduced or a
new trial be obtained. This decision
shows that they were mistaken in
their Judgment, and more Gusts have
been created that will have to be paid
in excess of the judgment and costs
obtained in the lower court. While
this experience has cost the city con-
siderable, it has established the pre-
cedent that you can not always defeat
the verdict of twelve disinterested
men when they pass upon the merits
of a case of this kind which was
thoroly and ably tried in the Circuit
Court. We are glad this will finally
settle this matter for all time. The
lesson learned has been an expensive
one for the city.

of absolute faithfulness in reproducing

BLACK BART, ROAD AGENT

Perhaps the most annoying robber
who continually and for several years
successfully preyed upon the company
was Charles e. Bolles, known to fame
as Black Bart. He was incomparably
the most conspicuous character in the
history of western stage robbers. From
1875 to 1885, Black Bart is known to
have committed twenty-seven stage
robberies single-handed. Northern Cal
ifornia stage drivers stood in constant
fear of this unique desperate. On va
rious occasions the drivers were able
to give a good description of his figure,
hair, feet and hands, yet no clew to his
actual identity was gained during the
eight years of his stage-robbing career.
He was finally betrayed by laundry
mark on a cuff which had dropped from
his wrist when opening a treasure box
which was taken from a Wells-Fargo
stage in the San Joaquin valley. When
he was finally captured in San Fran
cisco the detectives were amazed to
find the famous Black Bart slight,
quiet-mannered man of So, familiar in
face to all the San Francisco detectives
he had for years frequented little
restaurant near police headquarters,
where many of the detectives dined.

being on your negatives is probably a
coating of "hypo" that has not been
driven out of emulsion by thorough
washing before being dried, but as no

be due to insufficient fixation. Try re-

pathy with yours, and we pray that
the God of all comfort may sustain
and keep you in this hour of great
sorrow, and may you be able to say:
"Thy will be done"
If sometime mingled with LIES wine
We find the NORWOOD and rebel and shrink
BE sure wiser hand than yours or mine
PourS out this portion for our lips to drink
And il seine friend we love is lying low,
Where human kisses cannot reach her face
Oh, do not blame the Father
But bear your sorrow with obedIent grace,
And you will shortly know that heightened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends HIS friend,
And that sometime the sable pail of death
Conceals the fareSt boon His love can send.
If we could push Jar the Gates Of life,
And stand within and all Gods workings see
We could interpret all this doubt and strife
And for each mystery find key.
But not today; then be content, poor heart;
Gods plans like lilies pure and white unfold
We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart.
Time will reveal the cayxes of gold,
And II through patient toll we reach the land
Where tired feet with sandals loose may rest,
When we shall clearly know and understand
| think we will say that God knows best.
And now since our Heavenly
Father has reached down from
Heaven and, lifting this dear one
in His arms, has put her down be-
yond all hurt, beyond our sight, and
babe her wait for us, shall we not
then be glad, and thanking God press
on to overtake?" PHILATHEA.
