AN IMPORTANT CASE.
Revival ora Old Action Against the Chi
cago, Milwaukee T. st. Paul Railroad
Company.

Company.
Milwaukee, April 8. Next Monday
Judges Drummond and Dyer, in the United
States court, begin hearing arguments in one
of the most important cases ever heard in
the west. The complainant is VIM. Barnes
of New York, and the defendants the Chica
20, Milwaukee ,&St. Paul railroad, Lacrosse
& Milwaukee, Milwaukee & Minnesota rail-
way companies, and the city of Milwaukee.
The bill of complaint is voluminous. The
litigation seeks to revive the proceed
ings of twenty years ago, which created such
excitement then. The suit proposes to over
turn and ignore not only the proceedings in
foreclosure of Barnes mortgage and the for
nation OF Minnesota companies, but also the
decisions and judgments of the United
States circuit and supreme courts in the lit
igation for foreclosure of mortgages given
by the Lacrosse company and the enforce
ment Of judgments against it, and under
which the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
company was formed and the title to the
Lacrosse road acquired, In June, 1865, the
Lacrosse & Milwaukee company executed a
mortgage to VIM. Barnes as trustee, subject
to all prior liens and membranes, to Sc
cure S2,OO0,OOO bonds to be issued by that
company. The January following Barnes
claimed all said bonds had been
issued; that $70OoO interest was
due. He instituted proceedings
to foreclose mortgage under the power of sale
contained therein. He secured the passage
Of law by the legislature authorizing the
trustee Of any railroad mortgage on foreclo-
sure to bid not exceeding seventy-6ve per
cent. of the amount of bonds for the benefit
of bondholders. The sale under his mort.
gage was in May, 1859. Barnes bought the
property for million and half, Tor the
benefit of bondholders, and Barnes and the
bondholders organized the Milwaukee 4
Minnesota Railroad company. The holders
of the $13,0O0,0O0 signed articles of associ-
alton and surrendered the bonds and took
in payment. Subsequently the remainder
Of the bondholders did likewise. In all lit.
igation following to foreclose the mortgage
given by the La Crosse company and to
force judgments against it, the Milwaukee
& Minnesota company was made party
Defendant appeared and asserted and de-
Tended the rights OF the Minnesota company

order was made authorizing the Mlnnesota

only TO find the house closed and the door
locked. They could hear 'ittering and smoth-

TO their raps and calls for admission. After
trying every device for half an hour they were
compelled to take their sad and weary way
home without glimpse of the lady fair. The
sufmises as to the cause of this Undesirable

tam other fellow from Bryantown has the in
