r i 10 Trir omm iMir.Y nv.r.t rmn.w. if.wrnr ni. iror,. i BUILDING BIC BILL BOARD Work Protecntod in J nig Estelle'i Court Under Mnch Difficulty. DEFENSE. IN BEMIS SUIT IS COMMENCED Fire WIlDfM Called TMiUfi to thm CoastrniMlosi ( (he tmu Board that ' Frll on (be Plaintiff. Iiwyprn always find It very nfrfuary t lay a proper foundation when trying cases In court. That la a tajik difficult enough, as a rule: hut when a trial lawyer la com pelled to build a superstructure on hla foundation tha labor la one to daunt even tha readiest man. This wag brought out forcibly Thursday afternoon In the Bemls case in Judge Estrlle'B court. City Attorney Hreen had called a the flrat witness for the city W. H. Krelle of Minneapolis. Taking him back to December, 1W, Mr. Jlreen had the wltneas help him construct a billboard twelve by twenty feet In size. Thla took a long time, for Attorney Connell waa continually Interfering with the work, on the time-honored ground that the method followed waa Irregular, Imma terial, Improper and no foundation laid. Finally Mr. Breen and hla witness man aged to get some new lumber bought and a Ign malcr, at work tearing down an old billboard which waa to be reconstructed with the aid of the new materinl. The ac tual work Of building with 4xts, 2x6s, 2x4s and flat lumber waa got under way In an hour or ao, but to get the square timbers properly placed took considerable more time. Then the placing of the anchors and the braces ' gave Mr. Connell some more chances t6 Kick on the workmannhlp of the city attorney and his witness. The master mechanic. ,ln the person of Judge EateUe, sustained many of Mr. Council's objections, especially to the Mil; And it took many minutes of steady effort to frame up all the tlmbera and get the etceterass properly located. Breen Not Dlaeonraa-ed. Tha city attorney stuck to the bill and Its Item with commendable perseverance. It seemed to have got a body blow on two or three separate occasions when the master mechanic, frowned on it, but when It looked like It must be knocked out altogether and tha whole board thrown into the scraphcap Mr. Conncl suddenly backed out of the way and graclouxly waved permission to go ahead. He would not object farther, he; aid, to the perspiring but determined chief workman for the city; and very shortly there was a nice new billboard, handsomely painted and decorated, on the front of the. lot Just wist of the Davldge block. Ap parently everybody was happy. But that was in the winter of 1898, and in April, 1902, it is alleged that the board fell over on former Mayor Bemis. On crosB examlnation Mr. Connell began to tear into the same board to expose Its weaknesses; and then there was more trouble, for the witness hnd not had his attention specially called to the board from its erection until last Tuesday, when he was asked to come here and testify, what he knew about the board after its erection was. not much; but having got it up and In good workmanlike position, Mr. Breen did not seem to worry so greatly. At the rate of progress made In the last two or three days this Bemla case bids fair to keep tho court and Jury busy well Inte next week. Wind and weather, carpentry and architecture, surgefy and suffering, recklessness and - responsibility, "personal and official, all are going into the record, which promises to be a bulky one when finished. CLOSING THE SCAVENGER SALE Last of the Lena; Mat Under First Advertisement Will Be Dis posed of on Friday. The last scavenger tax sale under the first advertisement of delinquent property will commence Friday morning at Weat Side addition and continue until the list ' Is finished. Under the longer hours de voted to the i lie for so ,ie time past It has been i uni p'sct.crble to ean ev erything up within tho time set, which was the last day of March. It 1b the general impression among the nun who ri.ve been handling the sale for the past several months that some men have made a mighty gpod thing in their purchases. The county and city have also profited, not only through fattened funds but In getting Into the live tax list many thousand pieces of real estate which have for years been delinquent.
