In view cf the comment, adverse and

ages on account of the howage OF my
land by reason OF the construction and
maintenance OF the dam in connection
with the municipal power plant, 1
deem il but just TO myself to state the
exact transactions that have been had
between the City and Toe since my
claim for the fiowage OF my land was
originally made. In the year 1906 1
made claim to the City Council for
81, 600. 90 for the damages : had suffer
ed This, Of course, included my past
and future damages. The City refused
TO entertaining claim ana forced me
10 start suit which resulted in judg-
ment for $4,000.
After this Judgment had been rem
dered offered 10 still settle my claim,
including past rs well AS future dam
ages, for 81, 200 90. The City again
refused but offered me 81. 100000
AS is we'll known the case was then
taken to Dickinson County, where a
Judgment for 50. 500 90 was rendered.
Some time afterward offered to
settle my entire claim tor s., 500. 90.
which was only 81 90 more than the a
mount OF the judgment. with costs and
interest to date. This offer was in
turn again refused and sold my claim
to parties in Iron Mountain apd it has
since been paid in full without any
compensation to me for damages which
had been.suifered since the date Of that
Judgment
Tne property has recently increased
greatly in value and the damage that
have suffered 10y the maintenance OF
this dam has been multiplied many
fold. The details of this, for business
reasons, can not be described at thlt
time, but they are such that my at.
torney has deemed it prudent to insti.
tute new suit in the sum Of $50
I00O CO.
Realizing that there will be great
delay in the course of this litigation

thing by my neighbors, | have Offered
to settle again, including past and tn
ture damages. for S. 10000. The Git

An unfortunate blasting accident by
which Isaac Smell lost the sight OF one
eye and will probably lose the sight oil
the other occurred at the Tobin mine
last Saturday afternoon.
Smell was employed picking down
some loose ground in the back OF a

In missed hole. The force OF the
blow was sufficient to explode the pow

The unfortunate man was taken to
the hospital at Marnette Immediately
One eye was removed on Monday and
the physicians were hopeful on last ac-

case was quite doubtful
The explosion caused fearful lacera-
