Clnulicd Titles.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 1.-The Min
nesota Supreme Court has handed down
decision which creates great excite
ment in the legal fraternity 1t is as
follows "The incoate contingent inter
est of a husband and wife in real estate
owned by the other and commonly
called the dover right, is not Invested
by transfer of title from the owner of
the property to purchaser at an exc
cution sale founded upon judgment
against such owners. Attorneys have,
during the 80 years the State has been
in the Union, proceeded on contrary
view. 1t can be seen at once that the
title to all Minnesota property which
has been sold on assignments, receiver
ships and judgments where the party
involved is married, is clouded, and
that the decisions may throw millions
of dollars worth of property into almost
interminable litigation"
