JURY NOT AN ORNAMENT.
Supreme Court Says 1t Is Designed
for Utility.

Recent tendencies to deprive the jur.
Of an opportunity to weigh evidence II
a certain class of cases were rebuket
yesterday by the supreme court in
decision, Of which the following is tn
syllabus:
Charles A. Cooper as Administrator, ETC.,
of w. H. Hayward, deceased, respond
ent, VS.. Samuel Hayward, ct al, appel
lants.
Where a promissory note is taken in
the name of one party for the benefit Of
another, the administrator of the payee
may maintain an action on 1t.
Where before the appointment of an ad-
ministrator the personal property left by
the intestate is disposed of by one who
1t conclusively appears is the sole heir
and Distribute, and 1t also conclusively
appears that there are no debts to be
proved against the estate,
Held, an administrator subsequently ap-
pointed ON the petition of such sole dis
tributee, cannot recover the property so
disposed Of.
Whether the beneficial interest in the
note or suit was in the payment thereof or
in a third person, or in the payee and such
third person as partners, held, on the
evidence to be question for the jury.
Order reversed. -Canty, J.

MAYOR WON HIS SUIT
IMPEACHMENT OF SAUK CENTER'S EX-
ECUTIVE FAILS
Supreme Court Holds That No Cause
for His Removal Has Been Shown
Harvester Works Stockholders
Must Pay Up-DecisiOns on wills
and Notes Handed Down.

Mayor William D. Townsend, Of Sank
Center, came out of his conflict with
the city council with flying colors, in
the decision filed in the supreme court
yesterday.
For a year the council has been try
ing to Gust him, the antagonism, it is
said, having arisen from the mayors
refusal to consent to the purchase of an
old brewery site by the city.
Justice CAVITY, who signs the opinion
handed down yesterday, holds that suf-
f1cient cause for the removal Of the
mayor has not been shown.
This is the second time the court has
passed on the case. The first time 1t
was asked to restrain the council from
further proceeding with its impeach-
ment proceedings, but this it refused to
do After the trial in the council, the
case again came up in court, which now
holds that the mayor had good reason
to believe that a clause in the charter
providing that he might return an or
dinance without his approval, giving
his reasons therefor, gave him the right
of veto. In any event, it is held that
one mistake on the part of a public
officer is not sufficient ground upon
which to convict him of general incom-
potency; neither can Impeachment pro-
ceedings be substituted for proceedings
in mandamus where an officer has mis-
taken his duty. The orders conVicting
and removing the mayor are reversed
and set aside. The syllabus follows:
William D. Townsend, petitioner, vs. G.
@. Tobey, ct. al, respondents.
The city charter authorized the COM
mon council to remove the mayor for
cause" He repeatedly and continuously
refused to sign an order for the payment
of money for a certain purpose. On
the evidence, held. the council were not
warranted in finding that he acted in
bad faith, or that he wilfully pre-
versely disregarded his duty, or that he
was generally incompetent to perform his
duties to such an extent to warrant
his removal, and the orders convicting and
removing him are reversed and set aside.

MUST PAY FOR THE STOCK.
Wood Harvester Stockholders Are
Held Liable.

The supreme court, Justice Canty
writing the opinion, yesterday affirm
ed the decision of the Ramsey county
district court in the suit Of the receiv-
ers of the Walter A. Wood Harvester
company to compel r. G. Jefferson and
others to accept and pay for stock sub
scribed for by them.
When the company was organized it
was agreed by the defendants that,
as soon as a million and a half had
been subscribed, of which the Wood
company of Hoosick Falls, was to
take half, the defendants would take
a certain amount of stock. The de-
PENDANTS won the first suit on the pre-
text that the stock had not been ten
dered or delivered, but, on the second
trial, the plaintiff professed to be ready
and willing to deliver it, and the SUI
preme court decided that this was suf-
ficient in a decision Of which the fol-
lowing is the syllabus:
Frank A. Seymour, ct al, receivers Of
the Walter A. Wood Harvester Com
pany, respondents, vs., Rufus c. Jeffer-
son, ct al appellants.
1. certain agreement, held to be a
subscription to stock not sale of stock,
that 1t not necessary to tender the
stock before bringing suit, and that 1t
was sufficient to allege n It the corporal on
was ready and willing to deliver the stock.
2. Certain evidence, held not within the
Issues.
8. The admission of certain evidence
conceded to be immatera, held to be
error without prejudice.
L. On the pleadings and evidence,
certain false representations made at the
time of subscribing for the stock, and
which induced defendants to subscribe,
held to be immaterial.
8. The subscription contract was con-
ditioned on a certain amount Of stock be-
ing subscribed for; several Of the sub
scribers were corporations whose arti-
cles of Incorporation did not authorize
them to subscribe for the stock, but
enough of these paid in full to make,
with the other subscribers, the amount
as called for; defendants, when they sub
scribed. knew that these corporations had
subscribed and defendants afterward paid
a part of the amount of their subscription.
Under these circumstances, held, the de-
PENDANTS waived the objection that the
subscriptions of these corporations were
ultra wires, even If that obligation could
be made in this action. Order affirmed.

completely in the negotiation OF the forged
check of Thuett Bros, for $500, to which
Van Auken pleaded guilty, proceeded before
Judge Willis and a jury yesterday. 1t is
this afternoon. w. w. Erwin is conducting
the defense, and County Attorney Anderson
the prosecution.
The states principal witnesses yesterday
were City Detective Campbell and Mr.
Thuett who testified that Hamp verbally ad-
mitted to each of them that Van Auken had
agreed to divide the proceeds of the check
with him. After Hamp was arrested he re-
fused, however, to reduce this statement to
writing. The defense will contend that
Hamp made this statement upon the prom
ise of the detective that he would not be
arrested If he would admit so much. Hamp
is scarcely twenty years of age.
The state rested at p. M, and Mr.. Erwin
called Hamp in his own behalf. The young
man was on the stand when court adjourned

within FIVE years after his death. The
probate court enormously allowed claims
not presented within the five years.
Held, the error did not go to the juris-
diction, and the judgments allowing the
claims are not void.
Held, further, an action will not lie in
the district court to enjoin the sale of
real estate pursuant to the license of the
probate court, for the payment of the
claims.
Also, that this action cannot be main
tanned under sec. 4541, G. S. 1894 to set
aside the judgment allowing the claims. If
for no other reason, because the COM
plant does not show that the plaintiffs
used due diligence to defend against the
allowance of the claims in the probate
court. Order affirmed. -Canty, J.

It's too cold to be very sociable in
large way. In ones own home, how
ever, the cold weather Is rather pro-
ductive Of sociability, and in many Of
the dainty boudoirs one finds bright
CRATE fires burning these cold after
moons and the hostess in her cozy ma
t1nee or trim house dress draws an
easy chair close to the fire for one, and
after seeing that everything Is made
comfortable orders hot tea and toast
or wine and cake. One wonders If this
isn't nicer all around than a large for
NAL reception or gossipy afternoon tea
And then, too, one Is sure to hear the
most delightful stories, without names,
Of course.
For instance. there was one going
the rounds early in the fall, which re-
lated to Minneapolis man who was
calling with party of young people
and discovered to his horror that a
cricket had gone down the back Of his
neck. The members Of the party were
not long in locating the singing of the
little insect, which was perfectly quiet
SO long as the young man kept in viO-
lent motion. But SO soon as the poor
victim composed himself the little tor
mentor began a cheerful chirup. At
last the unhappy fellow sought the
house amid peals of laughter, and in
the secrecy of an upper room went on
a small hunting tour which ended, alas,
In a murder.
