Ironwood Redeemed.

Justice Grant, OF the supreme court
handed down decision In the case of the
Ironwood Water Works Company VS. w
Treblcock, mayor, which is of vast i'm
portance to the city OF Iron wood inasmucl
as II relieves the city of debt incurred
by subservient council Of over $500, 900
After the trouble with the water works
company last summer proposition was
made TO the council for the city to pur.
chase the plant for SS5, 600 and the city
TO assume the Indebtedness amounting to
1926, 900 more. The council passed an
ordinance to purchase. but the mayor
refused to sign the bonds and Judge
Hare issued a mandamus to compel him
TO sign them. But Mayor Trebicock
was obdurate and took the case to the
supreme court with the result that the
decision of Judge Hare is reversed and
Mayor Trebilcock sustained.
Justice Grant was unable to find any
authorities directly in point, but in his
opinion says: "A municipal corporation
cannot, either expressly or implicitly, in
cur ebt beyond the charter restriction.
In regard TO its debts municipal corpor-
alton occupies very different position
from that of a private individual. If a
city or county were authorized to pur-
chase land for city or county buildings,
with restriction upon the amount TO be
raised or the indebtedness to be incurred
and either should buy them subject to
an existing mortgage, 1t would result
from REALTORS contention that the public
corporation was under no lega! obligation
to pay the mortgages and it might be
foreclosed and the land and buildings
erected thereon sold upon the foreclosure.
1T needs no argument 70 show that
this is contrary to public policy, and to
the policy universally pursued in this
state. There is nothing in the charter OF
the city OF lronwood To indicate that the
legislature understood that it was depart
ing from this policy, or that it was con-
ferring authority TO buy public property
subject TO a mortgage lieu OF a quarter
of million dollars. Obviously The city
OF lronwood will have TO way to protect
the properly thus purchased, except by
the payment of the lien thereon
The city mist pay the mortgage or lose
all the benefits to be derived from the
purchase. 1t is expected and understood
tina, it vii pay it and the interest upon
it. Such was the evident intention of all
parties.
1--WE have therefore reached the fol-
lowing conclusions:
81. The charter does not authorize
the purchase of this property subject to
the mortgage. aud
-. Municipal corporations cannot
avoid the restrictions upon the amount
of Indebtedness they may incur bv buy
ing property for public purposes subject
TO liens.
1.-The judgment of the circuit court
must be reversed and the WIZ Of manda-
mus denied"

the athletes Of the Department, came
along and told him to behave himself.

as he exhibited his right.
"Well, 1 intend to knock out any Of

Policeman Doyle thereupon placed him
under arrest, and O'Hara went quietly
to the patrol-box. AS Doyle turned to
open the box and send in a call for a
wagon, OHara sprang at him and
knocked him down.
AS Doyle lay upon the ground O'Hara
seized his revolver and club. but the
next moment Doyle revived and knocked
the club out of O'Hara's hand.
Then a desperate struggle ensued for
the possession Of the revolver, which
times in succession the frenzled man
was knocked down, nut each time he
sprang nimbly to his feet.
Suddenly O'Hara threw the revolver
away, and grabbing Doyle around tho
, waist. carried him out into the street
and threw him in front of a trolley
car.
Bystanders, who up to this time haG
