THE RED WING COLONY.

THE RED WING COLONY.
1t is Composed of Scandinavians Exclu-
sively, and Will Probably Settle at In
dian Lake, Mobiles County.
Messrs, s. J. Willard and T. K. Simmons,
the gentlemen who as heretofore noted In
the columns of the GLOBE, had arrived here
on Wednesday to negotiate with the Sioux
Citv g. st, Paul railroad authorities for the
purchase of land in Mobiles county for Red
Wing colony, concluded their labors yester-
day and returned home on the evening train
to report the results of their mission. These
gentlemen, who with another had,
as committe, visited Mobiles
county, some week or so ago,
to seek proper location for the colony and
had returned highly pleased with the Indian
lake section, yesterday obtained from the
railroad authorities the prices of lands in
some four or five localities and will report
the same to their people on their return to
Red Wing, and if the prices prove satisfac-
tory the bargain will be contaminated with
out further delay. To this end the railroad
company has granted them twelve days in
which to close the contract, and it is also
understood have met them in liberal spirit,
though the lands partially selected are among
the best owned by the company and of course
command high prices.
The remainder of the company, whose
names are given in yesterday morning s
GLOBE, took the train as then stated, for
Mobiles county, and will also institute a
search for lands, with the view of consult
ing their own tastes as to location, and are
expected to return by Monday next.
The colony will consist entirely of Scan
dinavhans, and will probably comprise about
$50 families. These are mostly laborers of
Red Wing, many of whom are in possession
of few hundred dollars and one or two
teams, while others will engage as farm
hands, to their more fortunate brethren.
Among them, however, are few capitalists
such as County Auditor Willard and banker
I. K. Simmons, who will purchase several
hundred acres or more apiece, and thereby
give employment to others. If the sale is
consummated, the indications are that it will
considerably exceed 10000 acres.

DECISIONS TILED.
Before Judge Simons.
File No. 2,614. F. Tenny & Co. vs.. James
K. Goodhue. Order granted vacating judg-
ment.
This decision involves legal point of
moro than usual interest to attorneys and
itigants. On Nov. 49, 1875, judgment was
rendered., by default to the plaintiff. Exc
cution was rendered against certain property
of the defendant, which was duly sold at
sheriff's sale, and the judgment satisfied.
The motion before the court, on
which tho decision was filed yes
terday, was that the Judgment be
vacated by reason of defect in the summons.
as the place where, or at which, the defend
ant was to serve his answer was not therein
designated, as required by the statute, and
therefore, the court of common pleas, in
which the judgment was accorded, had no
jurisdiction. The summons merely stated
that the defendants answer was to be served
in St. Paul, without particularizing any
further direction. The court held that the
mentioning of the place was, under the stat
ute, Imperative; that the summons was
therefore, defective, and ordered the vaca-
ton of the judgment.
Before Judge Wilkin.
File No, 7,941. Joseph Thornton vs.. John
Clonan. A very voluminous decision was
filed in this matter, which is of little public
Importance, wherein the partnership con-
Germs of the contestants were adjudicated
upon.
