New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1915-10-27
A GREAT PIECE OF WORK.

In the neighborhood of 100000 has
been spent in improving the roads in
Nicollet county the past summer, and
when all the contract work is completed,
there will be an exceedingly fine network
of highways passing throughout the
county. About the largest single piece
of work being done is that on the St.
Peter-New Ulm road, or what has been
designated by the state highway COM
mission as state rural highway No.
81. When this road is completed it
will have cost, including the building
of the bridges and culverts about $55, 900
or $4,000 per mile. The road extends
from this city to New Ulm and is 81 1-2
miles long.
The work on the road has been pretty
we'll finished from Nicollet to New Ulm.
When done the road will be twenty
feet in width, which will easily permit
the driving of three teams Of horses a.
breast. Eight feet Of gravel, six inches
deep is laid in the center of the road,
which will prove an ample foundation for
a road way.
Many persons may not know where
the fund for this large piece Of road
work comes from. Under the Elwell
law the state is required to pay one
half of the cost of the work; the bene-
fitted property owners within a radius
of three miles of the rural highway pay
one fourth and the other one fourth
is taken out Of the county's general road
and bridge fund. The St. Peter-New
Ulm road work was financed by the sale
of $4,000 in bonds to Kalman & Co.
of St. Paul, to run from one to ten years.
District Engineer H. w. Daniels
originally laid out the specifications for
the highway and it is quite an engineer
ling feat, especially in detail work. H.
L. Hopper is the superintendent Of con-
struction.
Work is also progressing nicely on
state rural highway No. 81, running from
Mankato to Nicollet. On this road is
placed carpet Of gravel twelve feet wide
and eight inches thick. st. Peter Herald.

MANY PETITION FOR
 THREE CENT FARE

Station Agent J. w. James of the Iron Mountain is circulating a peti- tion to the Arkansas legislature ask ing that the three-cent passenger fare be restored in this state, and the petition is being signed by surprls- ingly large number, already contain ing the names of many of the leading business and professional men of Conway. It is understood that simi- lar petitions are being circulated at numerous places throughout the state and strong effort will be made by the railroad companies to secure the repeal of the two-cent rate bill. The railroads yesterday began the publi- cation in the larger daily papers of a series of advertisements setting forth their claims for an increased rate. They assert that the cost of la bor, taxes and every item of expense connected with railroad operation has greatly increased, while their income has been greatly reduced, and that it is impossible to give the patrons the quality of service which they demand at the present rates. In the past year or two there has been a noticeable re- action in the attitude of the people toward the railroads, and, although a bill providing for the three-cent

ASKS S85,O00 FOR DEATH OF HUSBAND MRS. HARROD FILES SUIT J. k. MADDING AND ASA GRACIE MAYER DEFENDANTS IN
 BIG SUIT.

Little Rock, Feb. 4.-Coincident with the filing of motion for a new trial in the case of J. K. Madding yes terday, Mrs. Lucy E. Harrod, widow of J. H. Harrod, for whose death Maddlng last week was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, filed suit with Circuit Clerk Dan D. Quinn for S85,OOO damages against Madding and Asa Oracle.
 Mr. Harrod was killed July II, 1913, when, after alighting from a street car at Fifteenth and Broadway, he was struck by an auto driven by Madding. In the car with him were Asa Oracle and Mrs. Madding, at that time Miss Mary Eleanor Mast.
 Madding was charged with second degree murder. He was tried three times before a verdict was secured and then the charge was reduced by the jury from second degree murder to involuntary manslaughter and his punishment fixed at three months in the penitentiary. He is out on bond.
 Mrs. Harrod's attorneys are the firm of Bradshaw, Rhoton & Helm, and Sam Frauenthal, the attorneys who assisted the prosecuting attorney in the criminal proceedings.
 In the suit it is alleged that MT. Harrod, 5 years old, was possessed of lucrative law practice and that his income was S2000 a year.
 The suit asks that Mrs. Harrod be given judgment for S50,00O damages, that the estate was damaged $1O,OOO and should be reimbursed this amount and that as the action of the defend ants was unlawful, she should receive $25,O00 punitive damages.
 In the motion for new trial, filed yesterday by Maddings attorneys, Mehaffy, Reid & Mehaffy and James A. Gray, it is contended that in 147 different instances, the court erred in rulings during the trial or in instruc- tions to the jury. The motion has not been passed upon by Judge Robert J. lea of the First Division, circuit court, before whom the case was tried, but will be taken up by the court at date suitable to attorneys for both the state and the defense. The de- fense has announced that if the mo- tion is overruled an appeal will be taken to the state supreme court
 In the motion it is contended that the verdict of the jury was contrary to law and to the evidence and that the verdict is the result of passion and prejudice. It is alleged that the court erred in overruling the objec- tions of the defense during the testi- mony and during the argument of the prosecution. The Testimony object ed to was principally relative to the speed of the machine at various points, previous to the accident and in regard to the attention it attract ed, the exclamations which the speed of the car caused and estimates of the witnesses as to what rate of speed the car was going.
 The witnesses whose testimony is objected to specifically were: Dallas T. Herndon, Dolly Stark, H. c. Me Cain, J. H. Martin, Robert N. Book CT, H. H. Garner, John Reigler, J. B. Wood, J. A. Walls, Dr. James l.. Dib- rell, Dr. w. H. Miller, Asa Oracle, Ashley Peay and A. NJ. La Due. In most cases, the testimony was said to have been given in answer to ques- tions of the attorneys for the state, some of which the defense asserts were leading.
