New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1895-11-27

weeks meeting Of the directors of the
Northwestern the ordinance permitting
the removal of the Omaha tricks to the
river front in this city will be presented
TOR acceptance, and work IS expected to
begin this winter.
| The Review has taken the trouble to
| Investigate the rumors published else
where and circulated from Mankato re-
garding the proposed movements of the
Chicago s. Northwestern and finds them
to be absolutely without foundation.
| The Northwe stern has no idea whatever
of building from Mankato to Sleepy Eve
| passing south of New Ulm, and a mo-
| ment's thought demonstrate the unreason-
ableness of such move. What they do
propose is to build up the river from
| Mankato to New Ulm providing no
change is made in their grades here and
this proposition will be carried into ex-
ecution next year. New Ulm could on
ly welcome such change, as being great
ly to her advantage. Neither has anv
representative of the Northwestern been
here the past few days trying to induce
her people to abandon the chances of Sc
curing the Minneapolis, New Ulm &
Southwestern.
The Minneapolis journal of Thursday
contained the following: In connection
with the opening of its new line to New
Ulm, the Minneapolis & St. Louis is pre-
pairing to boom Waconia as a summer
resort. The little town is beautifully
situated on u lake of some size, and is
about midway between the Twin Cities
and New Ulm, It has always been fa-
vorite spot with the Germans, and this
is counted on to draw from New Ulm. as
many of the residents there have Teu-
tonic blood in their veins. During the
coming season this class of travel will be
largely catered to at Waconia, and the
place given a reputation as distinctive-
ly German resort.
At Redwood Falls last week Judge
Weber made new and important rul-
ing in chattel mortgage case, by which
A. E. Mccarthy, now of Minneapolis,
but formerly of New Ulm, is the loser.
The judge held that where chattel
mortgage is not filed in the town in which
it was executed, or where the property
was at the time the mortgage was given,
it is void. R. E. Devereaux gave Me-
Carthy chattel mortgage. Devereaux
lived in Kintire township and the mort
gage was made out in Redwood Falls
The mortgage was on team of horses
that Devereaux had driven to Redwood
Falls and Mccarthy sent the mortgage
to the town of Kintire for filing. Web.
Der holds that it should have been fle6
in Redwood Falls.
A Redwood Falls special to the Min.
} neapolis Journal says that there seems tc
be good reason for believing that the
Birch Coulee monument will never be
moved to the location decided upon by
the Minnesota legislature. The law OF
contract enters into the deal, and attor-
neys attending court here during the past
two weeks contend that the state has no
right to back out Of q contract entered
into between it's commission and the viii
lage of Norton
I The village council of Morton is fight
ing the move vi gorously. 1t entered in
to q legal contract with the first commits,
sion to the effect that, in pursuance of
the location of the monument on its pres
cut site, it would purchase the site, plat
and ornament and keep up the same fo1
all time to come. 1t has given the state
deed to the site, and has plated and or
namented the same. Aside from this, as
WAS also stipulated by the commission
and the village, the latter has expended
at least $500 in opening good highway
up the bluff to the site.
Attorney George W. Somerville, o
Sleepy Eye, who has been retained by
the village of Morton, is preparing to en-
, Join the condemnation commission as
soon as it attempts to condemn the lane
of Wolfgang Weis for the new site. HI
claims that pursuant to previous act Of
the legislature, the monument was locat
ed on the present site. The commission
was authorized to acquire site and the!
made it one of the conditions that the
village should do as above stated. Pur
) suant to that agreement with the state
the village went to an expense of more
than 81 900 in carrying out it's contract
The state having enter ed into this con.
tract, the last legislature had no power
to pass the act calling for the removal
e on the ground that the same is impair
