CITY ATTORNEY READY TO FIGHT 116 LIST
Lambert I,oad I a with Evidence

(nrli to Protect tee
About a dosen personal Injury claims are
on the docket for trial this fall and winter.
These claims range all the way from 11,000
up to 130.200. In each of the claims to be
tried the city legal department reported
adversely to the council on the claims when
first filed. As Boon as notice of a suit was
given particular attention wa given the
cases and wltnessea secured, In a ma
jority of the cases photograph of the . lo
cality where the injuries alleged to hare
taken place have been secured. In looking
after the claims a soon as filed the legal
department ha secured a great deal of
valuable information and la In a good po
sition to make a hard fight. ' It Is the
opinion of the city officials that very few
if any of theae claims will hold when
placd on trial. In any event, should the
decision be against the city, an appeal to
the supreme court will be taken, thus -tying
up the case or cases for an . Indefinite
period. In one personal Injury claim filed
the statement Is made that the injury was
caused by - a defective sidewalk, when a
photograph pf the locality shows that there
la no sidewalk there. In the IMtOOO caae
the plaintiff alleges .that he walked off a
bank In the night and landed en a tree
stump, receiving permanent Injuries. When
sifted down It was learned by Claim Agent
Barrett that the claimant returned to work
tbe day following his supposed injuries.
and It wa not until an attorney got hold
of him that he went home and remained
In bed while the paper In the ease were
being Bled. Other cases of a similar na
ture have been brought to light by the
claim agent.

Recently City Attorney Lambert reported
to tbe council adversely on- the petition
to grade the alley between Twenty-second
and Twenty-third street from I to J

ficient number of property owner bad not
signed the petition. Upon his attention
being called to the matter the city attor
ney discovered that Claim Agent Barrett
had made An error In comparing the list
of signers with the tax list. This petition

most likely be approved when the council

ARMER KNEW PAL ALL RIGHT
arallst Wka Tarrlea at City Jail Va-
awaree Tells Crowe He Doesn't
Fear Hla.
Joe Goodroe of Syracuae appeared at the
police station Tuesday night under sur
veillance of the patrol conductor, complain
ing bitterly at the "rottenneaa" of things
and the fate that took him so unceremoni
ously by the neck.
"Now, here," he tfhouted, "I've been
robbed, and then you fellow come along
and pinch met Met a farmer, and all my
summer' wage gone to the dogs'."
All the officer grinned In sympathy and
mentally agreed that there wa some other j
cause than robbery to explain the man's
gttatlon.
But who robbed you?" asked Captain
Hasa.
Well, captain." said Ooodroe, "111 tell
you the truth, if I ever told It In my life.
was Just like this; yes, sir, it was."
The farmer braced up and told a story so
coherent and straight that two officers and
detective were at once sent out to in-
estigate, although there wa a faint under-
current of uplcian that the H10 robbery
story wa a manufacture from an over
stimulated brain.
While the officers were out, there wa a
lively verbal passage between Ooodroe and
Pat Crowe, which tickled the police. Im
mensely. . .
What' the matter," aald Pat to Oood
roe, "did somebody frisk you, oia manr-
"Yes," said Ooodroe; "they got my 2110,
very cent of my summer s wages, un,
good Lord!"
And he began to sob with self-compas
sion.
Now. I have an Idea," aald Pat. with
twinkle in his eye, "that you have
been up against Pat Crowe, and he
touched you for your roll."
'No, air! No. sir! It wasn't Pat Crowe,
know Pat Crowe, he couldn't hold me
up. I know him, he's the devti tnat mitea
my brother-ln-lawl"
When Mitchell and Bandstrom came back
they declared that the farmer might have
lost his money all right, but that he never
lost It In the place he aald he dhVand the
story he had told so coherently was a
pure "pipe" from start to finish.
The story wa that he had taken a
room at itlt Webster street ana tnat ne
was awakened after an hour or so by
some noise. He found that hla money,
which waa In his pocket when he went to
bed, wi gone when he got up.
PROPERTY OWNERS UP IN ARMS
watawest Improvers Make Itroagr
Protest Against HeTlag Ikarki
Acrose Tovra.
The threatened removal of undesirable
houses from the neighborhood of Nine
teenth and Pierce streets to Twenty-second
street and Poppleton avenue was the bomb
which stirred things In the camp of the
Southwest Improvement club last night.
Men who live near Twenty-second and
Poppleton protested against the Introduc
tion Into the neighborhood of what they
called "shacks." and their remarks met
with the sympathy of the entire club. A
lengthy discussion ensued a to the beat
mean to pursue to prevent the removal of
the buildings. One member suggested that
Councilman Dybail would be the proper
person to look after the matter. Mr. Dy
bail rose and Informed the club that In his
opinion no legal way exists to prevent a
man from 'moving hi own building to his
own lot, wherever that lot is situated. He
aid If the building prove to be In a dilapi
dated condition it might be within th
power of Building Inspector Wlthnell to
withhold the permit for removal. Resolu
tions were passed embodying the senti
ments of the club In the matter and pro
viding for a committee to wait on Mr.
Wlthnell, and, if necessary, to take the
matter before the council. The committee
was appointed to consist of S. A. Corneer,
Fred Hoy and A. Waggoner. I
During the discussion it was remarked
that three house have been moved into
the vicinity thla summer which are not fit
to live In. The question wa asked why the
building Inspector does not pull such
shacks" to pieces before they ar moved.
"I wa told," said President Bchamel,
that Mr. Wlthnell recently said he would
pull these rattletrap houses down If he had
any one to stand behind him, but that un
der th new charter he had no power to
do such things."
"Well, it he feels that way about It."
responded Councilman Dybail, "It will be
an easy matter to get resolutions through
the city council."
The election of officer and annual ban
quet of the club will be held at the next
meeting, November 2. A committee of five
waa appointed to look after program, music,
refreshments and reception.

they sold to Edgecombe, Marsh and Cooper
certain block of stock of the face value of
212,200, on which the sum of 24.000 was paid
In cash. Thereupon the new stockholders
proceeded ta organise and made Edgecombe
business manager, creating the office for
him. They also deposed the old editor and
hired a new one. These proceedings did not
suit the Messrs. Heath, especially Harvey
E., who had heretofore controlled the stock,
and he, with Alfred B. Heath, is asking th
court to give him back the stock held by
th bank, allowing him to return the 24.600
already paid, also to authorise him to vote
said stock and to appoint a receiver for the
business of the paper.
