The Board of County Commissioners of Blue
Earth County VS.. The st. Paul & Sioux City
Rai1rDad Com Danv

A>AeAS
Earth County VS.. The st. Paul & Sioux City
Railroad Company.
Syllabus-A county, or rather municipal
corporation, capable Of acquiring and
holding real estate, If in the actual
BILE of becoming beneficiary under the pro-
visions of the act of congress of May %, 1874,
commonly known as 1.-THE Town Site Act. !"
The facts of this case considered, and
Held, That the county of Blue Earth &C.
quired, as occupant under its deed of convey
ance from the Judge who entered the town
site of Mankato, as trustee, pursuant to the
provisions of the aforesaid act of congress,
ire absolute and unlimited estate in fee SIM
ole in "Court House Square, in Mankato, and
not a mere limited an special interest charged
with public trust, under dedication there
Of to public use by the persons who executed
the town plat of Mankato in 1852.
That the county being thus the owner in
fee with the power to ALLEVIATE the decrease In
the value of the entire tract caused by the
taking of part thereof by defendant for the
purpose of It's road, was the measure of dam
ages or compensation which the county was
entitled to recover.
Witnesses having testified as to the value of
an entire block or square, both with and
without the railroad constructed upon it, AMI
it appearing on cross-examination that they
made their estimates of value upon the basis
of dividing the property into lots and fixing
value upon each lot: Held, Not to be in error
on part of the court to refuse to strike out
their evidence. 1t also appearing that OPP
erty in the city in which the square was sit
uated was generally divided into lots and that
the square In question was capable of being
so divided.
Evidence as to the noise of passing trains.
and as to the inconvenience and interruption
to the use of the property resulting from the
ordinary operation of defendants road, Held,
com petent as bearing upon the question of
the diminished value Of the property caused
by the construction of the road across the
same.
The compensation of land owner for prop
erty taken for public use is to be estimated as
Of the time of the award OF the commission
ers, or, where the assessment is made by a
jury, as of the time of the trial. This rule is
not changed by the fact that railroad com.
pany has, without the consent of the land
owner, entered upon the premises and con
structed its road prior to acquiring the right OF
way by appropriate legal proceedings.

What can the baby see
All close behind the shadow
lie sees the angel wait
And wide the leaves unfolding
OF that broad heavenly gate,
And he seeth one who beckoneth,
Poor heart, couldst thou but sec,
Those golden gates unfolding
And thy lost ones waiting thee.
Yet colder falls the twilight,
And the children crouch behind,
As the garments past them rustling
Sweep like the winter wind.
But the baby smiles and watcheth,
And when the night grows dim
There will be an empty cradle
And breaking heart for him.
