A CURIOUS CASE
Which Hinges on the First Map
Made of West St. Paul

The case of Helen S. Trout and Mary.
E. LIE Due VS.. John Wagner ct al, re-.
Gently tried and submitted before Judge
William L. Kelly, is in many respects a
noted one. In the first place the orig
inal owner of the land, Gen. LIE Due, of
Hastings, and the parties to whom he
sold it. Gov, William r. Marshall, Col
ID. A. Robertson and Judge K. K. Mel
son, and who relaid it out into lots, and
the two surveyors who surveyed and
plated it into lots, c. A. L. Morris and
James A. Case, are all alive and resId-
ing in this city and Hastings. The sale
and survey referred to took place IN
1855, thirty-four years ago, and there IS
scarcely another addition to st. Paul Or
West st. Paul where the same thing can
be said of the parties, grantors, grantees
and surveyors of eye Olden times" that
they are all alive and residing so near
the scene Of the transaction. Another
feature of this suit is this: That after
Gen. LIE Due plated as a part OF West
st. Paul Proper some fifty acres,
and recorded his plat, and sold lots ac-
cOrding to his plat to F. A. REM, Casper
Sauer, Adam Rau and other old settlers,
who own the property to-day, and then
sold the rest of his reSOld property to
the parties named, excepting III his deed
the lots previously sold, and one lot and
the house thereon for himself. Shortly
after the original plat of West st. Paul
was Withdrawn from the registers
Office and the LIE Due interest cut out
of it, and Robertson's addition laid out
by j. A. CosSumyer in its stead, certain
streets were narrowed. and the lot Gen.
LIE Due reserved with the house on it
was plated out of existence. The old plat
was never put back of record. but copy
of the portion not put in ROberts0n'S
addition filed as the true map of West
st. Paul Proper. The old original map
was produced in court with the original
signature of the register of deeds, the
original owners. and that of {. A. L.
Travis, who identified it in court as the
map made by his own hands, and the
only one made by him of West st. Paul:
This map is now record in the office of
the register of deeds of Ramsey county.
The suit is to recover the lot wiped out
by the replatting and mutilation OF the
original plat. The lot is said to be
worth $4,000, as it faces on Dakota av-
enue on the east side of the Wabasha
bridge, and is 90X200-and Judge Brill,
i'll similar case not long since. decided
in favor of the plaintiffs, admitting the
original plat to be the correct one.

A VETERAN GONE.
Death of Gen. >. ID. Sturgis-
The FunereI Arrangements.

The death of Gen. S. ID. Sturgis,
which occurred yesterday morning at
his late residence, Gil Ashland avenue,
has sent a thrill of grief through the
community, there having been few men
better known or more deservedIy held
in high respect than the deceased. Gen.
SturgiS was retired officer of the
United States army and leaves a wife
and several children. Hon. John Law
Ter, formerly treasurer of the territory
of Dakota, is son-inlaw of the de-
ceased gentleman.
Samuel Davis Sturgis was born in
ShippenSburg, Cumberland county,
Penn, June IL, 1922, and was the son of
James and Mary SturgiS, the former of
whom was one of long line originating
in the County Armagh, Ireland. He
was also the nephew of Gen. Scott, the
hero of Lundy'S Lane, whose influence
secured for him an appointment to West
Point in July, 1912. He graduated in
1916. and was one of that brilliant class
consisting of Mcclellan. StoneWall Jack
son, Reno and others. Appointed brevet
second lieutenant of dragons, he went
to Mexico with Taylor, and was cap
tured at Buena Vista. After eight days
he escaped. and the Information he had
gained contributed materially to the
success of the campaign. Afterward
he marched, via Chihuahua, to Los
Angeles, and was subsequently stationed
at Fort LeavenwOrth, Kan, as reg
mental quartermaster. In 1852 he re-
signed and rejoined his company at
Albuquerque, n. NJ, where he acted as
adjutant general for a time. On Jan.
I6, 1885, he commanded an Apache eX-
petition and won the thanks of the ter
ritorial legislature, which asked the
president to promote him. This was
done, he being commissioned captain of
the First cavalry. In 1861 he Oper-
ated against the Cheyennes, and during
the early days of the rebellion protected
several important military posts in Kali
sas and Nebraska. He was ordered
South, and joined forces with Gen.
Lyon at Springfield, Mo. At the famous
battle of Wilson's Creek he showed his
mettle by handling the Union forces
with honor after the rout of Sigel and
the death of Lyon. For this he was
treveted lieutenant colonel and made
brigadier general of volunteers.
He was in command of the relief force
sent to Gen. Pope, commanded the sec
ond division of the Ninth corps, army
of the Potomac, and was brevetted
major general of the regular army. In

Observer Lyons, of the United States
signal station, reports the rainfall for
the week ending yesterday as ''put an

about third of an inch" This is not

Healy, in his report, says the tempera-

cooler than usual, adding: 'The days
were warm and the nights quite cool
and frosty-Indian summer weather."

while playing with a number of boys

inflicted the injury himself while play

THEATRICAL GOSSIP.

Thomas W. Keene closed his engage
ment at the Newmarket last evening.
after a very successful week. Full
houses greeted him every night, and
Mr.. Keene, in consequence, feels elated
at the reception given him by St Paul
theater-gOers. His repertoire was good
and his work was excellent. A word is
due to his support, which was by far
the strongest brought to the city by
tTagedIans for long time. Eminent
actors, as rule, surround themselves
with people who are away out OF their
sphere. so as to shine forth in greater
contrast themselves. 1t was not so With
MIR. Keene. as his support all through
was of the best. His rendition of Ham
let last evening was marked with the
same good acting characteriZing his
other plays, and the audience went
away well pleased.
The Harris for tomorrow evening
offers as an attraction w. Z. Coup'S
troupe OF educated horses. The same
show was here some time ago and scored
quite hit. 1t consists Of a series of
novel, interesting, and even startling
features and Situations. A number or
trained dogs are an added attraction.
Ida Clark. the girl cOrnetist, and the
Peake family of bell ringers will also
be among the attra cuons.
The Newmarket will remain closed
this week in order to make few neces-
sary changes and prepare for the pro-
duction of William H. Cranes pieces.
Crane is among the hest known come
dians on the American stage, and his
popularity has not suffered whit by
his severing of partnership bonds
with Robson. The piece presented
will be "On Probation" written eS-
pecially for him by BrandneT Mat
theWs and George H. JeSSop. On the
last two nights of his engagement he
will appear in Papa PeTrichon" and
the funny afterpieee The Balloon"

tables are planted and the same IS the case
with the new Russian settlements along
