The Anoka farmers have won out In
their fight with the ST. Paul water
board, although the case will be taken
to the supreme court for final decision.
Over year ago fifty-six cases, by as
| many farmers and all against the St.
Paul water board. were filed in the
Hennepin county district court. The
actions were brought to recover dam
ages occasioued to hay lands by the
construction and maintenance Of the
dam at the outlet Of Lake Baldwin, in
Centerville, which was part Of the
structures Of the st. Paul water works,
and which was used to hold back waters
for the purpose Of pumping at the Bald
win lake pumping station. An injunc-
tion was also prayed for.
One of these cases, that Of Anton
Wenzell, whose lands are situated on
the shores Of four lakes next above
Baldwin, was tried last March as a test
case by Judge Tarbox, of the Eighteenth
judicial district. All the cases referred
to were assigned to him for trial, as
they belonged to his district, which was
organized after the cases were brought.
He orders a perpetual injunction
against the structures complained Of,
and allows Mr.. Wenzell 1000 damages
for injury done to his hay lands in the
years 1894, 1895 and 1896. The complaint
in the Wenzell case asked for $1,000
damages, and the amount asked in all
the cases was about 1000 damages.
1t Is understood that the rest of the
cases rest substantially upon the same
grounds as those of the Wenzell case;
and at the rate tablished by this de-
cision the total amount of damages will
be about $4,000.
One important question of constitu-
tional law Is covered by this decision.
The special charter of the defendant
provides that no action shall be brought
against the defendant for any cause
unless within sixty days after the ac-
ton accrues notice is given and an &C
ton is brought within year thereafter.
This action was brought in November.
1896, and the notice given by Wenzell
was given in June, 1896. Nevertheless
damages were allowed for injuries oc-
c'asioned In 1894 ard 1895, on the ground,
as stated in the decision, that the pro-
visions Of the charter referred to are
unconstitutional and void, when ap-
piled to the present case The mem
orandum attached to the decision states
that the charter provision Is legislation
giving special immunity and privilege
to an Individual, which Is not given to
others of the same class; and, further
more, that when applied, as in this
case, to a common law remedy to en-
force a liability which is not created by
statute, those provisions would deprive
an injured party Of that certain rem
edy'' for his wrongs which is guaran-
teed by the constitution. Several Min

VIII Be Argued by the Attorneys
In the Courts.
The taking Of evidence in the Stock
ing divorce case was concluded yeSter-
day afternoon, and at 10 o'clock this
morning counsel will make their clos
ing arguments. When informally con-
sidering the matter counsel for both
the defendant and the plaintiff were of
the opinion that each side would not
consume more than an hour in argu-
ment, and it is, therefore, probable that
the case will be presented to Judge
Lewis for a decision by noon today.
The plaintiff was on the stand most
of yesterday, in the hands of Mr.. Tighe,
for cross-eXamination. Mr.. Stocking
told practically the same story related
during his direct testimony.
Some new evidence was introduced
In the nature of a number of letters
written by Mrs. Stocking to her hus-
band. Attorney Tighe objected to the
reading of the epistles, but Mr.. Kline
insisted that their contents went to
show the happiness of the married life
of Mr.. and Mrs. Stocking, fact which
he desired to bring to the attention of
the court. The letters were mere COM
monplace communications about do
nestle matters in general, but plain
tiff's counsel called particular attention
to the salutations of sweetheart, -
dearest" my own sweetheart" and
the affectlonate signatures.
The reading of the letters caused
Mrs, Stockings almost dolorous coun-
terance to frequently light up with
smiles.
After the noon recess Mrs. Stocking
took the stand for rebuttal and under
questions of her attorney, reviewed the
more material points Of her story. She
said she had requested the plaintiff to
undergo a medical examination in jan
uary, 1897, and had finally, in May of
the same year, insisted that the eX-
animation be made.
While Mrs. Stocking was tesdfying
DR.. E. J. Abbott, who had been called
by the defense, entered the court room,
and as the physician had an engage
ment he was allowed to Immediately
take the stand. He testified to Mrs.
Stockings physical condition when he
had been summoned to attend her.
DR.. Lufkin was recalled, after which
Mrs. Stocking again took the stand
Her examination was concluded with a
few general questions, when Mr.. Tighe
announced that the defense rested.
Court adjourned until 10 o'clock this
morning
