inclination to be driven out One Sun
day recently the pastor remained for a
short time In the church after the con-
gregation had left. When he came out
he found himself confronted with sew
en- full grown stays with branching
antlers.
When he attempted to pass them
they closed In on him in semicircle
and corralled him on the church steps.
When he raised his stick and tried to
shoe them away they began prodding
at him with their antlers, tearing his
gown and bruising him. Unable to
drive them off, he was forced to retreat
into the church and walt until some of
the villagers came to his rescue.

These ordinances We're passed upon

Geo. w. Preston, of the sand con-
Germ, appeared before City Council,
and said that it was absolutely essen
tial to have city water for the boilers
to be erected upon the sand plant
One machine and engine was installed,
as was the digger which had cost the
company $4,000. The boilers would be
installed within sixty days Mr.. Pres
ton said that the boilers would require
$4,000 gallons per day. 1t was abso-
lutely impossible to get water from
wells upon the property for use in
boilers. Such water, however, would
be used for sand washing.
Mr.. Whitaker said he did not feel
that he could vote away the use of
such an amount of water while the
city was obliged to use East Lake
water.
Mr. Mulford said he did not think
the matter should be re-opened at
this time. Upon his motion the mat
ter was left as it was.
Corporation Counsel McAllister said
that he had had a conference with
Commissioner of Public Works Wood
ruff, and also engineer Potts concern
ing the claim of the South East ave-
nue. residents regarding the diversion
of water from their private wells. Mr..
Woodruff said he was satisfied that
the city was not responsible for the
diversion of the water from these
wells.
Engineer Potts, who has complete
map of the city and has carefully
studied the situation here, said the
idea of these wells being damaged
from the city plant was preposterous,
and impossible.
Messrs. Whitaker, Mulford and Og-
den were appointed a committee to
secure bonds for city officials, which
are to be paid by the city.

CLYDE POTTS
TELLS OF SEWER
Says City Is Getting Good
Work. j,
OPERATIONS SLOW.
The Engineer Gives Councilmen
Information in Answer to
Some Queries.

Engineer Clyde Potts, the New York
sanitary and civil engineer last night
attended the meeting of Council and
In reply to questions from many
CouncilmeD gave information re-
gardlng the work of sewer construc-
tion here.
Mr.. Potts in speaking of the relay
ing of the paving said that this was
always bone of contention. 1t was q
difficult matter to relay pavement
properly. The contraction Company
was under contract to replace the
pavement in as good condition as it
was originally. AS engineer he did
not advise when and how the company
should perform this work as he should
hold the corporation responsible. The
experience of the engineer was that
the longer a trench, having been filed
in, was allowed to stand, the better it
would be for the pavement and il all
of the repaving could go over until
Spring the city would get a much
better job. The company would have
to bring PAYERS in to the town, and
OF course it would be better if all Of
the work could be done at once.
MIR. Potts said that he was satisfied
that the sewer work was getting
proper inspection. The work had pro-
ceeded very slo wly and the city
engineer is obliged to map off all
sewer connections and taps, and he
was thus enabled to look over all the
work done.
Mr.. Potts explained to Council the
reason for the low level line of sewers
in the business district. He had
ound that the cellars OF business
places we're damp from tide waters,
and low level system had been put
SO that the cellars might be drained
and sewer plumbing could be made
from the cellar levels Regarding
connections to the sewer pipes. Mr..
Potts explained that taps had been
provided for every property, and in
the low level lines risers had been
placed so the properties could be con-
nected either from or above the base
ment level.
Mr.. Potts said that the contract
could not possibly be complete by
January 1st. according to the contract
although it should have been if it was
properly pushed.

MAN ON ROAD
DEMANDED MONEY

On Monday afternoon, about 5
o'clock, Mizeal English, an apprentice
at the Acme Gas Fixture Works, was
sent out on the Ireland's Mill road
The snow storm was severe and when
English was returning at $50 it had
become quite dark.
The young man noticed approaching
him some distance ahead, the form of
a man. The stranger was carrying a
dinner pail. Mr.. English paid little
attention to the fellow. The appren-
tice was smoking a pipe and wonder
ing if he could keep warm with it.
AS English came near the approach
ing man he was startled with de-
mand for his money, coming from the
stranger. The hfghwayman did not
seem to be as large as English, and
the young man suddenly whipped his
pipe in front of him, pointed it
straight at the head of the stranger
as if it was revolver, and pushed
by.s The man, greatly frightened, was
blufed into terror and almost fell in
the snow as he lodged and hurried
away3 A little further on English
stumbled upon the mans dinner pail
which he. had left in the snow.
1t was impossible in the darkness to
see whether the ruffian was white or
black.

ness of the evening.
Three building permits were grant
ed by Council, one of them being for

On Chestnut avenue, Mr.. Jonas ex-
planning that several years ago he
placed curbing and pavements in front
of these properties upon promise to
put down gutter stone. The COM
munication was filed.
A letter was read from lawyer
Frank S. Mckee, Jr He stated that
the we'll of Benjamin Biggs, on South
East avenue, was without water by
reason of it's diversion from the city
water plant. Expert well diggers say
the we'll cannot be further deepened,
and Mr. Mckee asked Council to sup
ply the premises with free city water.
Mr.. Mckee also stated that Otis
Hustled had also suffered by reason of
well water being diverted by the wa
ter plant This we'll had been deep
ened at cost of $22 and Mr.. Mckee
thought the charge should be against
the city.
The communication was received
and referred to the corporation coun-

Clyde Potts, the sewer engineer
Upon motion of Mr.. Mulford, $10,500

cation, the same to be charged to the

The Clerk was authorized, upon
motion of Mr.. Whitaker, to notify the
Hudson Terminal Construction Com
pany that the time for the completion
of the sewer work was January 1,
1911, and ask the company if there
was to be request for an extension
of time.
Mr.. Mulford presented an ordinance
fixing the salaries of certain officers.
The officers and salaries were fixed in
the ordinance as follows:
City Treasurer $500
Corporation Counsel $7OO

PUBLIC 0WNERSHIP'S
HELD ROUS|NG MEETING
Brinkman Theatre Crowded to the
Doors to Hear las. Connolly on
Important Subject.

James Connolly of New York
City addressed a large and en-.
thuiastic audience at the Brinkman
Family Theater Sunday afternoon,
in spite of weather conditions and
the fact that other meetings took
place at the same hour.
The Brinkman Theatre was
crowed until even standing room
was at a premium. 1t must be said
that Mr.. Connolly held the at
tention of this immense audience
from the very beginning to the end
of his lecture. Few audiences were
ever more enthusiastic and the con-
tinued applause upon applause re-
ceived by this popular speaker was
gratifying to him as we'll as the CON-
mittee through whose efforts Mr..
Connolly was brought to Bemidji.
The speaker received a splendid
bouquet of Easter lilies during his
time on the Brinkman stage. What
effect Mr.. Connolly's address had
upon the audience can best be
learned from those who were in
attendance.
Judging from the enthusiasm dis.
played he has certainly made many
more friends and supporters of the
policy advocated by him. At many
gatherings where groups of men
stand and talk through the city to-
day, Mr.. Connolly was the subject
of discussion.
