|WR. HORST IS RIGHTHE HAD NO CONTRACT WITH THE

SCHOOL. BOARD TO FURNISHBROOMS.

HAD ONE FOR STEP LADDERS

AND THIS IS WHAT HE'S REFUSEDTO FILL,BEING A CITYOF-

FICIAL.

GOOD BARGAIN FOR THE CITY.

Made Before He XVaxm Elected andthe Board Will Hold Him

to It.

City Treasurer C. L. Horst has writ-ten the Globe in reference to an ar-ticle that appeared in this paperWednesday morning, in which it wasstated that Mr. Horst was in difficultywith the board of education regardinga contract for the furnishing of broomsto the board. It was also stated inthe article that Mr. Horst had the con-tract and that he had since refusedto fulfillIts obligations, and that theboard was dissatisfied with the qual-ity of the brooms which Mr. Horst hadalready furnished. Mr. Horst in hiscommunication to the Globe deniesmost emphatically that he ever had acontract to furnish the school boardwith brooms, but acknowledges he hada contract "to furnish wash basins,cotton mop heads, step ladders, etc."

The Globe was in error, and withthat spirit of fairness characteristicof all truly good newspapers, hastensto assure a waiting public that Mr.Horst never had a contract to furnishbrooms to the school board, and thatMr. Horst has never had any difficultywith the school board about such atrivial matter.

But Mr. Horst has had difficulty withthe school board on the matter of stepladders, and ItIs hinted that he is try-ing to evade his responsibility in thepremises by pleading that as a memberof the city administration he is notqualified to fulfillthe terms of his con-tract.

Documents on record in the citycomptroller's office show that C. L.Horst was awarded a contract to fur-nish step ladders of a certain make tothe school board at the following fig-ures: Six-foot, 80 cents; eight-foot,$1.10; ten-foot, $1.35. The next lowestbidder offered to furnish the articlesfor $1.85, $2.75 and $3 for the threesizes respectively. Each bidder wasshown a sample of the ladder theboard desired the bids upon. Whenladders were ordered from Mr. Horsthe sent a quality unknown to theboard, and they say not the kind uponwhich bids were made and which theboard desired. One of Mr. Horst's lad-ders was sent to the Humboldt school,but Supt. Gerlach refused to allow thejanitor to use it, saying it was notstrong enough and that if the janitoror any one using it should fall and sus-tain injuries the city would be respon-sible for such damages as might beadjudged in favor of the injured per-son. One of these ladders in use at theJackson school collapsed, and the jan-itor received injuries that laid him upfor some time.

When Mr. Horst's attention wascalled to the fact that he was not liv-ing up to the terms of his contract, hesaid he was furnishing the kind ofladders he bid upon. Some membersof the board are of the opinion thatMr. Horst made a mistake, but Insiststhat the successful bidder carry outhis part of the contract.

Now comes Mr. Horst, who says heis a city official and he Is forbidden bythe charter to furnish material of anydescription to the city

—brooms or step

ladders, or cotton mop heads—

undercontract. But the school board peopleare of the opinion that as Mr. Horst'scontract was entered into with the citybefore his election to the office of citytreasurer, and as he put up a good andsufficient bond with approved bonds-men to fulfillhis obligation to the city,his election does not permit him torepudiate his contract, and thatfurther, ifhe does not comply with thedemand of the school board within thethirty days after demand prescribedby law, the city attorney will be in-structed to bring suit against the re-calcitrant bidder and -his * bondsmen.In the meantime the school boardwants step ladders worse than a smallboy ever wanted a.circus ticket. Butuntil this difficulty with Mr. Horst issettled the work of renovating the* va-rious school houses of the city is se-riously delayed because the board ban-not go elsewhere to purchase the par-ticular kind of ladders needed and Mr.Horst will not furnish them. Whenthe matter is finallyadjudged— that is,when Mr. Horst, thirty days after de-mand, refuses, to fulfillhis obligationsto the board— then the board can go

J into open market, buy the ladders,and then sue Mr. Horst to recover thedifference between the cost to theboard and the price made on the samearticles by Contractor Horst.

The contract for painting the out-side of the Auditorium was let yester-day and the work of beautifying theweather-stained structure willbe com-menced at once. The building will bepainted a pure white with variouslycolored ornamentations about theeaves and doorways.

committee on transportation to en-deavor to provide the Eastern visitorsto Minnesota during the encampmentan opportunity of viewing the farmingdistricts of the state, and yesterdaythe efforts of Chairman Flower in thisdirection were rewarded by the receiptof communications from both the GreatNorthern and Northern Pacific rail-roads that special rates would be madeafter the encampment from St. Paulto all points as far west as the Mis-souri river. As one of the practicalbenefits to be derived from the en-campment this is considered as one ofthe most importance, as it will enablestrangers an opportunity long desiredof traversing the greatest wheat rais-ing states in the world during the har-vest period, and is thought will be themeans of Inducing immigration andthe investment of Eastern capital inthe state.

The prospective visitors to the en-campment from the river towns, In-cluding Hastings, Lake City, RedWing and La Crosse, have notified,headquarters that they will arrive- inSt. Paul In large numbers several daysprevious to encampment week.

The trip up theriver by boat also possesses the advan-tage of being fully as cheap as traveting by rail and offers more of a pleas-ureable aspect in addition to superiorscenery.

An ambulance will bekept at the depot hospital during theencampment. • • •

''yeßter *fcr-.J&.H«*>*y M. Stow, ofChicago, against the Cifr of St. Paul tore-damfcgej- alleged to have beensustained through s the infringement of apitftnt. 1

The' complaint set forth that Stow was theowner of a patent, for improvement in woodpavements which was unknown in this or anyforeign country Jief6re his own inventivegenius asserted itself, rior was it in use oron.-sal*- in the Unite*:States more than twoyears previous to [his .application for letterspatent.F"rtner allegation ar> made to the effect

that on the 10th diy of Truly. 1877, the plain-tiff received letter^ 7 patent from the Unitedctatee government,: No; 193,051, for the termof seventeen years.-^ giving him the exclusiveright to make, use a**d sell his Inventionthroughout the United States, and that fromthat date he has so disposed of the invention,and has also vended to others the right tosell the improvement, to his great credit andadvantage.

The city of St Paul, however, well know-ing the premises, did, according to the com-plaint, contrive to Injure the plaintiff by onand after the 27th day of September, 1884,and up to and on the 10th day of July, 1894,and during and within the term of seven-teen years mentioned in the granted letterspatent, unlawfully,wrongfully and injurious-ly, and with intent to deprive the plaintiffof the rights which he otherwise wouldhave enjoyed from the sale of the aforesaidrights, make and use wood pavements em-bodying said invention in its essential andsubstantial features, as covered by the afore-

iisaid letters patent issued to plaintiff by. theUnited States government.

In view of the alleged Infringement, theplaintiff claims that he has been depriyed ofroyalties which he would have otherwise re-ceived on his invention to the extent of$300,000, and therefore asks the court for thatamount as actual damages, with such addi-tional amounts, not exceeding three times theamount of such damages, as the court maysee fit to order, besides the cost of the action'which he has been forced to bring.

Yesterday afternoon Rose was ar-raigned on the same charge, and thehearing of his case postponed until thesame time. The attorneys who ap-peared for Rose were very anxious tohave the ball fixed In each case at$150, claiming that the men could putup that amount of money for their ap-pearance, but no more. Rose when ar-rested had on his person $125, and dur-ing the talk made to the court regard-ing the amount of bail he expressed hiswillingness to allow his money, andthat of Wills, who had $68, to be puttogether and Wills released. There wassome chance of this arrangement beingmade until Lieut. Boerner, who hadbeen making investigations since thearrest of Wills and Rose, made a shorttalk to the court. Lieut Boerner saidhis investigations in the matter hadsatisfied him that the men were en-gaged In swindling a number of thebusiness firms of the city. Two firmswho had not been called on as yet byeither of the collectors, had pronouncedthe contracts found in the possession ofWills to be forgeries. A number ofother firms, who had paid money toWills and Rose, were also of the opin-ion that they had been defrauded. Notthat the firms names were not pub-lished in the book, but that the con-tracts which were presented, and onwhich the money was collected, werewrong. So far as he had investigated,Lieut. Boerner said there had probablybeen collected from business men lnthe neighborhood of $400. He thoughtif the bail was fixed at a small sumboth men would leave the city, and notappear for trial. In view of this ex-planation, Judge Twohy said the bailwould remain fixed at $1,000 in eachcase. Rose was taken back to the cen-tral station, Detective Gruber statingthat Rose preferred being locked up atthe station rather than the jail.

Late yesterday afternoon AttorneyKane had a consultation with CountyAttorney Butler and Judge Twohy rel-ative to the bail being reduced. Mr.Butler said he was opposed to any re-duction In the bail for the reason thatthe business men had on several occa-sions in the past been annoyed by thesame kind of work. In each casebrought to his notice, up to the presentone, there had been no evidence onwhich to hold the parties. He had beeninformed that there was evidenceagainst both Wills and Rose, and forthis reason he desired that there be aninvestigation or hearing before thecourt. The question of a reduction ofbail will be taken up this morning inthe police court, although the cases areset for Monday next at 2 o'clock.

Wills claims that he has been em-ployed by the concern for which hewas workingabout five years. He knewnothing abou,t the contracts, but simplyacted as collector. Rose said thetrouble all started by Marx & Son re-fusing to pay the amount as set forthin the contract. He has the samestory as Wills about being only a col-lector, not having any knowledge ofthe making of the contracts attachedto the bills. Lieut. Boerner stated tothe court that Wills claimed to havesent $200 to the firm in Philadelphia onthe day he was arrested, but was un-able to show the express receipt forany amount of money sent to the firmor any one else. A number of thefirms who had paid amounts rangingfrom $3 to $15 have notified the policethat they are sorry now that they gaveup so readily.

Mr. Benham Still Talking.

Itis the opinion of many that the attor-neys Interested in the Duluth water workscase are bent on incapacitating AttorneyGeneral Childs for active campaign work.The weary and worn expression of that offlcial's countenance as he listened to the argu-ment yesterday gave some Indication of phys-ical collapse. Mr. Benham, representing thecity of Duluth, talked and perspired all day.Today, IfMr. Benham takes a rest, attorneysfor the water works company will presentfurther arguments. The hearing will not beconcluded before Monday evening.
