A Case in the Wrong Court

Judge McGrorty filed an order yesterday grant
ing the motion to DISMISS the petition of Robert
A. Smith for an order directing John Jones as
executor of the will of VIM. L. Mintzer, de-
ceased, to convey to petitioner lot 2, block 10,
Robert and Randalls addition to St. Paul, a
valuable property near Hotel Ryan. The petit
ton was fled under chapter So of Young's
statutes, but the judge held that by reason of
the special matters pleaded in the petition and
the nature of the relief therein prayed,
the probate court has no jurisdiction
to entertain the petition or grant such relief The
petition sets forth that on the 18th of March,
1888, Mintzer was the owner of the lot subject to
certain pretended tax titles held by Anna r.
Mintzer, his wife, and subject also to the con-
tingent statuatory interest of his wife in case of
his death leaving her surviving. That on said
day the said deceased, by John R. Burkhart, his
duly authorized agent, sold and contracted to
convey said lot to c. III. Dittman for So, 600,
and that Mintzer died before the con-
tract could be executed, and that
Aug. 8, 1883, Dittman assigned the contract to
the petition er for valuable consideration; that
by reason of the death of Mintzer the title to an
undivided one-third of his real estate was vested
in Anna q. Mitzner, the widow; that the widow
now refuses to convey her interest or to comply
with the. contract. The potion also claims that
the yade of the lot is diminished by the existence
of the tax titles, and alleges that it would re-
quire at least $500 expense in litigation to clear
said titles from off the property.
The petitioner asks the decree of the court di-
recting the executor to convey the lot to him,
and if the executor should be unable to execute
a conveyance that will convey said lot in fee sim
pie, free of the claim of the widow, then that he
be directed to convey such interest as can be
transferred by his deed. and that petitioner be
allowed a proportionate abatement from the
agreed purchase price of the lot.

Sitting BmII-Tte Opera House Episode
Denied.
To tbe Editor of The clone.

To the Editor OF the Globe:
A small paragraph appeared in the GLsBE yes
terday about an attempt which was alleged to
have been made at the Grand Opera house few
evenings since, to shoot Sitting Bull. On inves-
tigstion we find it was simply the rawlings Of an
Intoxicated man. who was really too drunk TO
shoot anybody, except to shoot of his mouth,
and that hurt nobody but himself. We can see
no reason why Sitting Bull should not have the
privilege of visiting and seeing our city like any
other visitor. He never massacred white; he
always kept away from the agencies; be never
partook of the bounty of the government; and
in the late battle he simply made a straight,
square fight in the defense OF his wife, children
and people, which was forced upon him by the
troops, and having more Indians than whites he
the battle. This is an historical fact, so
after all Bull is not as bad an Indian as he has
been painted

THE RAILROADS.
Meeting Called tc Consider the Tripartit,
and Other. Combinations.

meeting Called tc Consider the TripartHe
and other Complications.
A meeting Of the committee OF general man
ayers OF western roads, appointed at the man
ayers meeting in Chicago a short time ago to de-
wise plan for the settlement of tripartite and
other complications, has at last been called by
the chairman of the committee, Mr.. j. c. Nc
Mullin, of the Alton The meeting will be held
at the Grand Pacific hotel, Chicago, Sept. IS, and
a general meeting of the roads interested in the
business east and west of the Missouri will be
held the following day. If the committee fails
to devise plan by which the existing difficulties
can be overcome, the general meeting will have
nothing to do but to adjourn, as without def
mite plan it will be impossible TO discuss in
telligently the questions to be settled The roads
are all anxious to have the difficulties settled and
paying rates restored on all business. But still
great doubts are entertained that anything will be
accomplished. The new position recently taken by
the Chicago & Northwestern regarding its Sioux
City & Pacific line has unsettled all plans pre-
viously made, and it will be no easy matter to
harmonic the interests of this road with those
of the other trpartite roads. The other tripar-
tite complications will not be difficult of ad-
justment, as the Rock Island, Milwaukee 81 st.
Paul, and other eastern allies of the Union Pa
ciic seem to be willing TO waive their right to
make through rates to Utah, Colorado, and Pa
cifc coast business, provided the Union Pacific
will absolve those roads from the requirement to
give it all through business. II the Union Pa
ciic, however, refuses to concede thisi eastern
allies will insist upon their right to make
through rates, as they cannot afford to give up
the only advantage they have for giving the
Union Pacific all their through business. These
questions must be settled before anything can
be done regarding Utah, Colorado, or California
business.
The Transcontinental association will also
meet again in this city September Is, to take
action regarding the proposed reorganization of
the association in the trpartite roads should
be able to adjust their difficulties.

Transportiuo Cattle.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Acting Commissioner
of Agriculture Carman has issued the following
circular relative to the prevention of the spread
of Texas fever among cattle:
In view of the recent outbreak of Texas or
southern cattle fever in the stockyards of Kan
sas City and Chicago and other points in Illinois
and Kansas, l respectfully recommend, at the
urgent request of a large number of practical
and experienced operators, who believe this dis
ease to be transmitted by cars on the lines of
transportation, and by contaminated yards and
pens, that all cars used in the trans
portation of cattle from points along
the border of southern Colorado, Kan
sas, southern Missouri and southern Ken lucky,
northward be thoroughly washed and disinfeeted.
Also that all cars used on lines east of Kansas
city, st. Louis or Chicago for the transportation
of stock from points south TO those mentioned
above or eastward be washed and disnfected inn
mediately after unloading, and further that all
yards used for penning CIR feeding such cattle
from south of the points designated shall be
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected twice a week,
or oftener. These precautions are regarded
highly essential, the feeders purchase all
cattle for their winter stable and feeding during
the season from August to December 1.
