pathetic Illustration of the grief
and distress that follow crime occurred
yesterday. Some unknown person
called at Judge Willis room in the
court house and left a letter addressed

envelope contained letters from the
children of Carl Larson, who is now in
jail awaiting examination on four
charges OF forgery. The letters were
written by Annie Larson, aged sixteen

VOTE ONLY FOR ONE
POLK COUNTY VOTERS ARE
FORCED TO A SINGLE
ISSUE.
TWO INSURANCE TANGLES
ARE CLEARED UP BY THE DECIS-
IONS OF THE SUPREME
COURT.
PREFERENCE TO VETERANS.
Law Giving Them First COnsidera-
ton in Appointments Is Sustained
by the Same Tribunal.

Several important decisions were
handed down in the supreme court yes
terday. foremost of them being that
in the Polk county boundary case. The
decision follows the lines of the Grow
Wing county case filed the previous
day as to the constitutionality of the
law providing for county boundary
changes. 1t goes farther, however. and
holds that where more than one prop
osition is submitted to the voters of a
county at any election. no voter can
vote for or against more than one of
the propositions up for determination.
If he does his ballot cannot be counted
for or against any of the propositions.
This practically ties up the Polk coun-
~ division scheme, for it is not likely
that any one of the propositions will
secure half a majority of the entire
number of voters of the county. This
will be necessary for the determina-
ton of the squabble which has occu-
pied some time in the attention of the
voters of Polk county. The syllabus
in the decisions is as follows:
State of Minnesota ex rel. H. w. Childs.
attorney general, VS.. Pioneer Press Com
pany ct al, respondents.
Where several distinct propositions to Gre
ate new counties are submitted at the same
election to the electors of the same county
under the provisions of Laws 1893 chapter
l43, section 4. as amended by Laws 1895
chapter 124, section 2, no elector can vote
for or against more than one of the propo-
sitions. If he does his ballot cannot be
counted for or against any such PROPOSE
tons. Neither the original act nor the
amendment, when so construed, are uncon-
stitutional, following State ex rel VS., The
board of County Commissioners of Crow
Wing County. Order affirmed.

The decisions affecting insurance
companies are filed, one of which re-
calls a case that attracted much at
tention at the time Daniel Gazett, an
old resident of Benton county, took
out policy in the Minnesota Odd Eel
lows Mutual Benefit society; it agree
ing to pay a certain amount to his
wife, If living, if not living to his heirs
or assigns, within sixty days after fl
ing of proof Of death. Within a week
after Gazett's death, and before the
filing Of the proofs required, Mrs.
Gazett was found dead on her hus-
bands grave in Lakewood, Minneapo-
lis. 1t is held by the court, however,
that the fact that she was living at
the time of her husbands death in
vests her with the claim against the

QUESTIONS OF ASSESSMENT.
Judge Kelly Passes Upon Some Dis
puted Points


Judge Kelly yesterday decided sever
al cases concerning the county assess
ment OF this year.4 brought by County
treasurer Edmund against different
parties who claimed exemption on
grounds of law. Two cases were de-
cided in favor OF the county and two
in favor of the defendants.
In the case OF f. l.. Parshall, a COM
mission merchant it appeared that
when the assessment was made Nav
l, ne had in his possession goods and
property of the value returned bv1 the
assessor, but he claimed that he was
not liable for the taxes on any of the
property except about 5000 worth.
which he owned individually. The
court held that as matter of law the
defencant was a merchant and as such
1t was his duty to pay taxes, not only
on his own property, but also on that
of others which he held for sale and
ordered a judgment in favor of the
county treasurer
In the matter Of the county treasurer
against the Seven Corners Bank, as
assignee. it was held that the defend
ant was not liable for the tax assessed
on the ground that the supreme court
had already decided that an assignee
or executor was not liable when he had
settled his accounts before he had
knowledge Of what the assessment was
to be-

The court held this action to be ac-
cording to law and ordered judgment
against the defendant
In the case against j. J. Tanning,
the court found that the defendant
had been assessed for goods in his
possession which he did not cwn and
which he could not be construed to
hold under ciTGumst which would
render him liable for their assessment

FIVE DAMAGE SUITS.
Four of Them Against the Street
Railway Company.


If the four damage suits which were
begun against the ST. Paul City Rail-
road company in the district court,
respective plaintiffs the company will
be compelled to tighten its Golfers OF
the aggregate sum of $780, 60. In each
of the cases the allegations of the COM
plants set forth that the defendants
have each and severally suffered serious
personal injuries through the negli-
gerce of the company, and in two in
stances the injuries are carefully tie
mixed with a statement of the amount
Of money which would act as balm in
each separate item of injury alleged TO
have been sustained.
Julius S. Larson and Olaf Steen-
Strump were passengers on the street
car which was run into by q freight
train at the Smelling avenue crossing
ON Sept. 8, during the state fair, and
each sues to recover 81, 030. The allie
cations in the complaints are the same
except as pertaining to the injuries Of
the plaintiffs. Larson claims that prior
to the accident he was possessed of
the best of health and earning $45 per
month, while Steenstrump also asserts
that previously he was physically we'll
and strong. Both aver that since the
accident they have been lame, sick and
sore, and that 1T will he a long time
before they recover from its effects,
with a possibility that they may never
do so.
Catherine Hames claims to have been
injured in a collision which occurred
between two East Seventh street cars
OH the bridge near Bradley street dur
ing the first part Of September, and
thinks 200 would in a measure COM
pensate for the disabilities which she
claims to have suffered in consequence.
Martin McManus wants 81 600 for be-
ing knocked from an Interurban car at
University avenue and Kent street. He
claims that he boarded the car at Tenth
and Wabasha streets, when he asked
the conductor to let him off at Univer-
sity and Mackubin streets. Instead OF
so doing, he says he was carried be-
yond his destination and that the con-
ductor struck him in the mouth with
his fist knocking him from the car
P. M. Clark would like. to draw on
the city treasury for $4,000, on account
of injuries which he claims to have
sustained by means of a defective side
walk on the south side of Sixth street,
between Jackson and Robert streets.
To this end ne began suit for the above
amount in the district court yesterday
The defect In the sidewalk is alleged to
consist of an iron trap door which pro-
trudes above the walk Mr.. Clark
stumbled and fell here on the evening
of April %, and declares himself to
believe that he will never recover his
former physical health. He thinks his
misfortune directly due to the negIt-
gence Of the city and wants the corpor-
alton to pay for the same.

appellant.
1First-Held that upon the evidence the
court was justified in refusing defendant S
motion TO set aside the service Of the sum-
mons on the ground that the person on
whom it was served was neither an agent or
officer of the company.
Second-General Statutes 1894, section 5164
authorizing father to bring an action for
Injuries to his child is constitutional The
action is for the benefit of the child, and
the judgment would be bar to another action
by the child.
Third-Under the evidence the trial court
committed no error prejudicial to the de-
fendant In submitting to the jury the ques-
tlon whether the negligent act of defendant s
foreman. which caused the injury complained
OF, was the act OF the vice principal or of a
fellow servant
the assumption of risk held to have been
properly refused because not justified by
the evidence and also because ambiguous and
misleading in their language
Fifth-Laws 1885, chapter 173 being merely
declaratory of the common law it was not
prejudlcial error to read 1t to the Jury as
me law OF the case, although the statute
was not enacted until after the injury com
planned OF occurred. Order affirmed
The court also sllstains the consti-
tutionality of the law Of 1894. giving
preference in appointments to veterans
