The Railway Commissioners
Beginning to Show Some

Vigorous Action to Be Taken
in Regard to the Kettle
River Railroad.
The Railroad Has Placed It
self in a Most EmbarraS-
sing Position
By Refusing to Operate It's
Line When Requested by
the Commission,

6lt will be recalled that last winter the
railway and warehouse commission
wsestled for a month or more with the
vexatious Kettle River railway prob
lem. In its original construction and
operation, the Kettle River Railway
company accepted bonus of goodly
amount from interested property own
ers along the line. 1t is q lateral road,
forming connection between the Du-
luth and the Eastern railroad systems.
and was supposed to be OF particular
benefit to the farmers and people of the
adjacent country. The road was sold
to the Duluth road early in its indus
trial career, and, after while, they in
turn handed it over to the Eastern road,
thereby making queer chain of
ownershipS and transfers, affecting
the bonus given the originators by
the people of the locality. Two
years after the latter transfer,
or about May II, 1890. the road ceased
to operate. The people who had given
the bonus, and who had not received
the benefits promised, had recourse to
the commission, and after protracted
investigation, extending from shortly
after the abandonment complained of,
to last June, the commission ordered
the road to resume by July l. But the
road is now in contempt. 1t pretended
TO be arranging to obey the injunction,
but never did. Yesterday the commits
sion passed resolution asking the at
torney general to either ask the su-
preme court to mandamus the road, or
to ask to have receiver appointed so that
all accounting may be had.

HAD TO DO JUSTICE

4 Mechanics Lien Case Passed
Upon by Judge Cornish.
Judge Cornish has filed an order as
certaining the liens in the case of The
Haupt Lumber Company against John
Westinan. Michelina Steshewska ct al.
The court finds that Nellie NJ. Weide
has been engaged for several years in
buying and selling real estate and i'm
proving it by erecting houses thereon.
Her business was managed by her hus-
band, Joseph r. Weide. In January,
1880, lie contracted for the sale OF tue lot
described in the complaint. and
also for erecting house thereon.
The court proceeds to ascertain the
liens on the lot as follows In favor of
the Haupt Lumber company for S419.97;
Abbott Bros, $276; Weller & Diehl,
Sl04: Charles Andersen. 1854; Her
, man Anderson, S90.67; Nils Falquist.
So. 81 George NJ. Durand, Sl45.50; Gust
Thoren, s3S.47; John Falqnist, 5000;
: 4. N. Jacobsen, $3.50; John Burgstrom,
$50: Elmund 6 Carlson, S22.5O. The
above liens are OF equal priority. Mel
lie NJ. Weide is given lien by mort
gage for Si,720.10, which is subordinate
to the above liens. The title of
NJ. Steshewska in the lot is declared to
be subordinate 10 the abave-named liens.
The lot is ordered sold to satisfy the
liens mentioned. Benjamin +. Knauft's,
Dedrick A. Omeyer's, Martin Z. Theri's
and John Westman's claims for liens
were not allowed. In memorandum,
Judge Cornish says he is not satisfied
that his conclusions will work equal and
exact justice, because Of the unusual
difficulties of the case, while he believes
that condition is approached as nearly
as the Jaw governing mechanics liens
will permit. The terms of the contract
by j. r. Weide with Benz were in con-
troyerSy, but the contract is lost.
The court was obliged to hold that
prepGnderance of evidence showed
that the contract provided for
the erection of d dwelling and that it
should be in part constructed before
the deed should pass and the mortgage
for the purchase money given to Mr..
Weide. Under the rule. of court it
would therefore follow that il j. r.
Weide had been the owner of the land
the mortgage would be subordinate to
the mechanics liens. The land was
owned by Mrs. Weide. and it appears
she satisfied the contract of her husband
in selling the land and accepting the
mortgage. The course pursued 10y Mr..
Weide may be fairly attributed to a
misapprehenSion of the lien law of 1889,
and as Mrs. Weide ratified his acts
there seems no way TO mitigate the
hardship resulting to the mortgage.

Mill Citizens Claim Lowry FavOrs
st. Paul in Street Car Service.
There has been an interesting discus
sion concerning the interurban street
car service of the two cities of late.
The Minneapolis people feel aggrieved
because the discontinuance of the Great
Northern short line service Will force
the people of Hamline and st.
Anthony Park to do their busi-
ness i'll st. Paul. There is an
electric line running from st. Paul
first TO Hamline and then on to st.
Anthony Park. This does not connect
with the interurban electric line on
University avenue at a point equally
distant between the cities, nor at a
point opposite Hamline. AS natural
consequence, it is much more conven-
lent for the residents of these places to
come to St. Paul than to Minneapo-
lis. Again, the Fort Smelling line
will afford the people there better
facilities for reaching the Capital City
than the Flour City. The Minnehaha
line from the latter city goes within
some three miles of the fort, but the st.
Paul line will go directly to that point.
Now Minneapolis people feel that the
street railway company should forth
with run branch lines both to the st.
Anthony Park and Hamline districts,
and also make the connection between
Minnehaha and Fort Smelling.
Thomas Lowry was in the East when
the short line train service was reduced,
leaving the electric system practical
monopoly. He has returned, aud Min
neapolitans are storming him with re-
quests to give them equal interurban
service with ST. Paul. He gives the re-
ply that he has simply filled his contract
embodied in his st. Paul franchise
grant. lie bad to build these lines
or meet trouble in securing contlnu-
ance of his franchise here. He promises
that as soon as practicable the matter
shall be equaled up, but he protests he
cannot do 1t this year. Mr.. Lowry in
sists that he has kept faith with the
Mill City. He has given them all he
agreed to and more, and the great won
der is how he was able to encompass
that much.
