Opinion of Attorney Genera Hahn.


In reply to question by Prof. Kiehle
asking if the employment of a teacher by
trustee and the clerk of school district
without any notice to the directors, and
without the latter's holding meeting and
acting as body upon the question, is
legal, Gen. Hahn replies that it is not.
He further states, in his opinion, IN sub
stance, that by section 81 of the laws of
Minnesota. relating to public schools, it is
provided that the board of trustees,
lat a meeting called for that pur-
pose, shall hire teacher This,
by necessary implication, precludes the
idea of a valid hearing being made in any
other manner. There must be meeting,
because 1t is the board and not the individ-
uals who compose it who are to hire, and it
must be called for that purpose so that
each and every member of the board may
know that the performance of this very i'm
portant public duty is the business to be
considered and determined at such meet
ing. Judgment and discretion are to be
exercised IN making the selection, and
conference and comparison of Judgment
are necessary in order to reach a proper
result.
The act is in its nature judicial, and the
general rule of law governing such bodies
and from such positive requirement of
statute, is that all meet or have notice to
meet when official action is intended.
1t was clearly not the intention of the
legislature to confer upon the individual
members constituting the board of trus-
tees the power of acting separately in the
selection and appointment of teachers.
The intention was to have them act and
confer together, the resultIof their com
bined Judgment or of the majority of them
constituting legal act.

A Hard Fall.

Jim Whalen went into the upper
part of b. F. Rollins shop at Paddock
village Monday evening after bag of
shavings. When he came out upon the
outside landing of the stairs he made Il
mis-stcp, slipped, or in some way slid
off the landing under the railing,
striking twenty feet below among the
rubbish that is thrown down between
the buildings. One of the shop men
came out soon after and seeing Jim's
bag of shavings on the stairs, began
an investigation and soon discovered
Jim in the area a good deal discOur-
aged but not seriously hurt. By taking
out basement window Jim was res
cued, with some severe scalp wounds,
and other bruises that will make him
sore for while. 1t was wonder he
was not killed.

A Negro EIOpes With u Young
Girl.

Considerable excitement has been
OccasiOned in Rochester over the
eIopement of John Edwards, a mulat-
to of about thirty years of age, with
Katie, thirteen year-old daughter of
c. NJ. Marsh. 1t seems that the girl
had become enamOred of Edwards and
ran away with him last Thursday
morning. He induced the girl to ac-
company him on the pretence of mere
ly taking ride. 1t is not thought
that the flight was pIearranged on the
part of the girl, although her subse-
quent movements may have been vol
untary. The couple left with Mr..
Marsh's sleigh. Mr.. Marsh heard of
the elOpement about two hours after
wards and Immediately set out in pur-
suit of the runaways. At East Middle
bury the trail was lost, Mr.. Marsh go
ing to Middlebury, from whence
kilograms were sent to Brandon, Bris-
tOl and other places, and officers We're
secured to prosecute the search in that
vicinity. Information was received
from the proprietor of the Stevens
house ut Nergennes that the couple
stopped at his hotel Thursday night,
registering as man and wife, and start
ing together northward at nine o'clock
the next morning. They are evident
ly headed for the Canadian border.
The runaways were found in Essex
county, n. Y, Monday night, the elOp-
ers returning with the officers voIunta-
rily. They crossed the lake Oh Satur-
day at Charlotte and have stayed since
with n French family at WillsbOrO.
The girl said her folks used to scOld
her and did not give her what other
girls had. She was not sorry and would
do the same again if she took a notion,
and Edwards treated her more kindly
than any one else. He claimed they
were married along the road. Tie girl
now says that they were not married.
Edwards is in Jail. The girl says she
loves Edwards and will marry him.
She says he accomplished her ruin a
year ago, during the absence of her
parents from home. The authorities
have not decided what course to take.

A little girl in Windsor recently
took a strange freak into her head.
She gathered all the bed clothes she
could find, piled them in chair, and
set fire to them. The smoke fright
ened her, and she began to cry for help.
Fortunately her older sister heard her
scream, and rushing in, caught the
burning mass and threw it out of the
window. 1t was narrow escape from
a serious fire.

There was little family disturbance
in WallingfOrd on New Years night,

the reprObate husband such a dress
ing as he has not had since he put
on his wedding garments. AS soon as
he was able to be about, he had his
father and brother-in-law arrested on
charge of assault and battery, OF
which they have been convicted, and
consequently have been compelled to
pay a neat little fine.
A cattle buyer from another part OF

to questions he said he had paid al
the way from three dollars up pei
head. His questioner inquired what
he bought beef cattle for, and was told
it was to work them up into canned
meats. A three dollar "beef critter'
must be in prime condition to put in
to canned meat-a tempting dish fOl
an epicure! The buyer referred tC
was easy to suit would take (and pay
for accordingly as he said, "anything
that had hair and horns" st. Alban,
