VoL, XV.—No, 1. NO STREET GRADES IN GRAND RAPIDS District Court Grants Temporary Injunction Against Village. IMPROVEMENTS TIED UP FOR A TIME Judge McClenahan Decides That Street Grades Must be Estab- lished by Ordinance Instead of Resolution. Judge McClenahan on Wednesday evening conducted a hearing on the order to show cause why the tempor- ary injunction should not be granted in the case of John Hepfel vs. Village of Grand Rapids et al. os There were two grounds on which the plaintiff relied, the first being that it was necessary that the estab- lishment of a street grade should be made through the medium of an ordinance instead of a resolution, and the second, conceding that if a reso- lution was sufficient for the purpose, that the resolution in question was so indefinite in its terms as to be be void. The second branch of the argument was nov taken up at any length. inasmuch as the hearing was virtually determined upon the first point. A temporary injunction was ordered, issued upon the filing of a bond by the plaintiff in the sum of $2,000. The bond was filed the next moruipg. As a result of the action of the court there are no grades left in the village of Grand Rapids. Citizens generally were very much interested in the proceedings of this session. As an incidental result of the action . Granp Rapips, Irasca County, MINN., SaTuRDAY, JUNE 29, 1907. ARE YOU COMING — WILL REPORT it follows that the contract with Bowden & McVeigh for grading Third street is invalid. The council, there- fore, will be compelled to not only provide. proper grades by means of an ordinance, but if the improyement of the street is continued, to enter into a new contract with suitable persons. Bids will have to be adver- tised for again. F. F. Price and George H. Spear were attorneys for Hepfel, and C. L. Pratt represented the village in this action. Young People Wed. A very pretty double wedding was solemnized in the Catholic church here last Tuesday morning by Rev. Father Feeley, who united in matri- mony Miss Mable McAlpine, eldest}. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. McAl- pine, to Albert Hachey. and Miss Katie McKinnon to Hugh McNulty. All the contracting parties are among Grand Rapids’ most highly respected young people and they have a host of friends who join the Herald-Review in wishing the newly wedded a pleas- ant journey through life. Tuesday’s Wedding. Announcements are out for the wedding of Miss Mable Alicia Kiug to David M. Vermilyea, at the resi- dence of the bride’s parents on Houghton avenue, next Tuesday af- ternoon at one o’clock. The Episco- pal service will be read by Rev. E. Spencer Murphy. The contracting parties are prominent among the young people of Grand Rapids, the bride, who is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F.. A. King of this place, ‘having lived the greater por- tion of her years here, while the groom occupies the responsible position of cashier at the First National bank of Bovey. A host of friends will join the Herald-Review in wishing them along life and a merry one. After the ceremony the young couple leave for Duluth where they will take pas- sage on an Anchor line boat for Mackinac island and a trip down the lakes and will be at home in Grand Rapids after August first. iH] People are coming to this 70 GRAND RAPIDS?)

The boys here have some strong timber, composed largely of high school and former high school students, who are gaining fame as athletes, and they expect to do things at the tournament. : - ON CLAIMS Commission is Investigating Upper Mississippi Reservoir Cases. THE WORK IS NOW COMPLETED e More Than Forty Tracts of Land Visited and the Commission | Had No Trouble With | Owners. The commission recently appointed to ascertain and report the damages Tesulting from the flowage of lands by the reservoir system on the upper Mississippi has completed its labors and the findings will be reported to the government. Two commissions were originally appointed to view the lands that were damaged by the reservoir systems of the upper Mis- sissippi, which includes the reservoirs | at Leech Lake, Winnibigoshish, Po- Kegama and Pine river, and to ascer— fain the damages. by personal inspec- tion of the land, after which a joint meeting of the members of the com— mission and the owners of the land was to be held, the owners to be given an opportunity to express their opinion as to the amount of damages they should receive. The duty of the commission then would be to re- commend’ to the United States court the amount its members deemed suf- | ficient, the court to finally determine’ the matter, subject to appeal either | by the government or the private | owners. The commission to act as\viewers and determine damage of lands affected in Hubbard and Bel- trgmi counties consisted of Ex-State | Senator John J. O’Neil of Park RKap- ids, chairman; Stephen Rugland of Rothsay, and Edward Pines of Hub- bard. The other commission which investigated lands in Itasca; Crow Wing and Cass counties was com- posed as follows: Hon. D. M. Gunn of Grand Rapids. chairman; M. L. Toole of Cass Lake, and J. M. Elder of Brainerd. The work of examining all the lands and meeting with the owners thereof in both districts, has now been com- pleted. More than forty tracts of land visited, but few of the owners of the land have appeared before the commissioners to make suggestions as to damages, and there has been no friction whatever between the com- mission and the owners. Smith - Fenton. At a beautiful home wedding ser- vice at 40’clock this afternoon, says Wednesday’s Duluth Herald, Miss Leora Fenton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Fenton, became the bride of Phillip Alden Smith. The rooms were degprated in tulips and ferns and palms. In the parlor where the ceremony tvok place, the white fiow- ers and greens were used, and in the living room yellow tulips were the flowers chosen. The dining room was most attractive in red flowers and appointments. The wedding service was read at 4 o’clock by Rev. Alex- ander Milne of the Pilgrim Cougrega- tional church. The brid’e only at- tendant was Miss Carrie Neff and the groomsman was Ray Fenton. The bride wore a dainty gown of white point d’esprit,and she carried ashow- | er bouquet of daisies and ferns. The} maid of honor was gowned in pink and carried a bouquet of pink flowers. At the iafurmal reception which followed Mrs. A. R. Fuller presided! in the dining room assisted by Misses Delia Smith, Katherine Farrell and Alice Webster. Mrs. E, Netzer pre- sided at the punch bowl. Mr. and Mrs. Smith left for Grand Rapids, Minn., where they will be at bome. The bride’s going away gown was of blue with a hat of the same shade. Among the out of town guests were Miss Mack of Chicago, Mrs. A. R. Fuller and Mrs. E. Netzer of Crookston, and Mr. and Mrs, Free- Two Dollars a Year, TERM OF COURT PROVING LONG Two Special Venires of Sixty Men For Jury Duty Ordered. KEATON WILLIS TRIAL IS NOW ON Court May Continue Throughout the Entire Month of July as Many Criminal Cases Are to be Tried. The present term of district court promises to be the longest in the his- tory of the county and bids fair to extend throughvut the entire month of July so large is the volume of liti- gation to be disposed of. In addition to the large number of civil cases that were originally on the calendar when the term began, sev- eral important cases have since been added to be tried this term, which, with the murder cases and minor criminal cases to be tried, gives a heavy list for Judge McClenahan to hear. The trial of the state against Kea- ton’ Willis, charged with killing his father at Deer River on April 1, was begun last Wednesday. ‘Ten tales- men of the regular panel of twenty— four were examined and a special yenire of sixty called and but seven jurors secured. The second special venire of sixty men is now out, re- turnable Monday. In the case of the State vs. Luke Osborn the jury returned a verdict of not guilty and the prisoner was dis— discharged.
