The summary and laws relating to the
powers and duties of the board of county
commissioners, compiled by Judge Corri-
gan, of the probate court, has been pub
lished. The board has ordered but 30
copies and it is suggested that they have
two or three hundred more prepared for
sale to the attorneys and others who have
occasion to look up that branch of the
law, as the book is so indexed that the
law for this county can be found at
glance.
The rain and thunder storm Of Tues
day night was probably the most terrific
ever witnessed in the city. Damage
was done to property in different parts
of the city. The Western avenue bridge
over Bassett's creek was washed away
and the street cars have ceased running
beyond that point. The streets in the
vicinity of the creek have sustained some
damage. The lightning struck few
residences, but fortunately no one was
injured. Nearly eight inches of rain fell.
Hans Sorenson has begun suit in the
United States circuit court against the
Minneapolis Street Railway company to
recover $50, 1000 damages Tor injuries sus-
tanned by his little girl Garcia who, he
states, was badly injured by being run
into by an electric car on Cedar avenue,
June 9th. He shows that she was run
into, dragged long distance, badly
bruised and that her ankle was wrenched
out of joint. He states that she also
sustained an electric shock, together
with internal injuries from which she
will never fully recover.
Coroner Byrnes was called to the st.
Paul & Duluth depot Monday morning
by the officials of the Great Northern
road. The Eastern Minnesota train
which came in that morning had on
board dead man, for whose burial there
was no permit nor certificate Of death.
The trainmen refused to take the body
to it's destination, as they were afraid of
the law. The remains we're those of
Hugh McCague, who died of sunstroke
at Groundhouse, Minn. The coroner pro-
vided the usual formalities, and the body
was sent on it's way to saltwater.
Last Tuesday a mica constitutional
question was raised in Justice McHale's
court. Joseph Smith sued William B.
Murray for $685. for labor. The legis.
lature has enacted that where money is
due for labor for more than 30. days and
payment has been demanded, if it is re-
covered by an action IS costs may be
taxed in addition to the regular costs, the
idea being that the SIS goes to pay the
attorney that the laborer has to employ
to get his money. The act was passed
because many laborers we're prevented
from suing. for their hard earned money
by the fact that it would eat up all, or
nearly all, due them to hire an attorney.
After the papers had been served on
Murray and his answers filed he rendered
to the court $10,40 in payment of the
claim and the regular costs but refused
to pay the SIS statutory costs on the
ground that the act is unconstitutional.
He did not say why it is unconstitutional
and the court held that the act is all
right and that his tender did not settle
the case. The same question has been
raised in other states on similar statutes
and some inferior courts have held the
law unconstitutional on the theory that
it is class legislation.
