THE CITY OF NINNEHAR4.
A Supreme Court Decision Favorable to
the Projectors--What Next:

Some months ago the residents of the
town lying south of the present ipcorpo
rated city of Minneapolis, began move
ment by petition to the judge of probate of
Hennepin county, to have certain pre-
scribed limits set OF, to be incorporated as
the city of Minnehaha. Under section
124, Oh. 10, general statutes
of 1878, judges of probate,
whenever two-thirds of the legal voters re-
siding within the limits of territory COM
prising not less than 1900 inhabitants, and
not more than $4,000, shall sign and pre-
sent petition for such incorporation. etc,
are authorized to issue an order declaring
such territory duly incorporated as city,
etc.
Hearing that this action was about
to be taken Messrs. Samuel
C. Gale, Thomas Lowry and William A.
Barnes, for themselves and others, applied
to the superior court for an absolute writ
of prohibition to restrain the Judge of
probate from making any such order.
The motion for the writ was argued and
submitted to the court Oct. 6, and
yesterday Chief Justice Gilfllan, for the
court, filed an opinion denying the writ.
thus sustaining the power of judges of
probate to issue such orders Of incorpora-
ton. From the interest manifested in the
result of the application of an absolute
| writ of prohibition, it is evident the
petitioners in favor of having the territory
designated set Off and incorpora
ted into new city, will not
| lose any time now in availing themselves of
| this privilege. 1t is also equally evident
| that the parties opposing the set of will
| resort to all possible remedies to prevent
such action, and it may also be accepted as
extremely probable that should the matter
| not be definitely settled before the meeting
CT the legislature, that body will be called
upon to act in the premises, in which
event the proposed city of Minnehaha
would soon resolve itself into a twill O. the
| wisp,'' myth, a departed dream, etc.
