The firm of Hall & Monks of West Superior, were the successful competitors for the job. ‘They are reputed to be reliable contractors, and indicated their good faith by accompanying their bid with a green-back deposit in the sum of $295.00. On Tuesday they signed a contract and furnished a bond for the faithful fullfilment of the obligation. Work will be com- menced as soon as the necessary material can be brought here and made ready for operations. 1t is expected that the sewer will be com- pleted early in Septemb:>r.

Gunn presented a petition for permission- to build an addition to Hotel Pokegama, which was granted. A petition was received from C. L. Frye, agent Great Northern railway company, asking permission to erect an addition to the present depot. to beused for fre'ghtstorage. Inasmuch as the petition did not specify the size, etc., of tie proposed structure, as required by village ordinance, the matter was laid over, after being discussed at sume length. This was done for the purpose of giving the company time in which to make their wapts kaown more definitely. When the council met at the stipulated hour uo additional information was at hand. Upon taking a vote the four members present were equally divided and the matter stands unde- cided. If a vote of the people were taken it would be found that the sentiment is overwhelmingly opposed to apy further frame warehouses in the center of the town or any addi- tional railroad tracks, A sidewalk was ordered built on the east side of Leland avenue from Fourth to Seventh streets. Alex. Roberts, the builder of the -\electric light arid water power house. holds a village order on the general fund for about one thousand dollars, the contingent fund. After giving the matter some consideration it was is he desired to have changed to not deemed advisable to make the Opinion of Couttty Attorney Spear In- terferes with Improvement of Park When the abstract of title to the forty-five acres cf land purchased last September by the board of county commissioners was submitted to Coun- ty Attorney Spear, for his opinion on the title, he communicated to that body that in his opinion the commis- stoners could not legally make such purchase. In rendering his opinion Mr, Spear called attention to chapter 75 of the general laws of 1899, which act’ provides that commissioners-can only purchase lands for agricultural fair purposes after the electors of the county have voted in favor of such puichase. It-was the intention of the commissioners in when making the transaction to secure the lands for park purposes, and believed that they were acting under authority of law contained in chapter 278 of general laws of 1895. But this act was’ re- pealed by chadter 295 of the laws of 1897. When the attorney had stated his opinion to the board, the work of preparing the grounds being done by J. H. Dunning under contract with the county was immediately suspended. Some plan will be devised to over- come the difficulty, it isto be hoped, so the county may be able to retain ttle to the land already purchased. change at this time, and the request was refused.

While the west-bound passenger train was running at full speed near the mile post east of Blackberry, Thursday _ noon, a passenger named Axel Keilgren fell from the platform of the smoking car and sustained injuries from which there is little hope of his recovery. It appears that the un- fortunate man had been dnnking in company with several companions, who were on their way to Montana, He and one of the others went out on the platform and engaged in what appeared to be a fiendly scuffle, when the accident occurred. ‘lhe man struck on his head, breaking the sku'l in such a manner as to remove about one-half the scalp and exposing the" brain, The fingers of one hand were cut off by the wheels of the car. Kellgren was broutht to Grand Ropids and taken to St. Benedict’s hospital where his wounds were dressed by Dr Gilbert. He was unconscious when picked up, in which condition he still remains. ‘The doctor has little hope of the man’s recovery, although his pulse is in normal condition. Kell- gren had an employment agency tick- et from A. H. Anderson, Duluth, taking him to Kalispell, Mont., where he was engaged to work at rock cutting, A RUNAWAY BRIDE.
