SUPREME COURT APPEALS.
Calendar for the April Term Sent
to the Printer Yesterdny-MOst
ImpOrtant Cases,


Important Cases.
Yesterday was the last day for filing notes
Of issue or returns with the clerk of the
supreme court for hearing during the April
term of the supreme court
The calendar yesterday sent to the
printer. 1t contains 254 cases appealed from
the lower courts, against 29S for the April term
of 1887. Out of these, 25 of the cases are
state cases, where the state is either the
prosecutor or the defendant.
Perhaps the most important case which
awaits the action of the court is the action
Of Mari against the auditor Of Aitkin county.
This case was brought in the district court
at Brainerd to test the constitutionality Of
the so-called Anderson bill" After exhaus-
tive hearings in the lower court, the case has
found its way into the supreme court.
the court will have to consider is the case
against Aid. Durham, Of Minneapolis, who
was convicted and sentenced to six years and
six months Imprisonment for soliciting
bribe. 80 49, sss-
Mr. Durham is still cut on bail. His appeal
as the case cannot BE carried higher than
the states highest tribunal.
The case of the stat9' OF Minnesota against
the Duluth Gas and Water company will be
again aired in the supreme court, being car
ried ever from the last term. The water com
the city of Duluth with unfiltered and i'm
pure water. By reason of. this, action was
brought by the attorney general to cancel the
charter OF the company.
The important state cases are we'll up on the
calendar, and in all probability they will be
among the first to receive consideration.
However that is matter which rests en-
tirely with the attorney general. He has
the right to have his cases set when he
wishes.

detailed statement of the condition
OF the Bank Of Merriam Park, which
recently closed it's doors, as a result of
the discovery Of the SouthalI fine

Inc report shows that the bank is
much better off than was first reported
IL was round on examination that quite
a number of the time checks were Sc
cured IN one way and another, and that
the actual loss to the bank would not
exceed s2,7OO.
Since the temporary difficulty of the
institution has been successfully bridg-
ed 1T is not improbable that the bank
may open its door for business during
the next fortnight
Examiner Lonegran says:

an instance where any depositor has rot

The depositors are voluntarily Offering

lot an extension on part of their deposits
With your permission the bank should be
able to open in few days. The directors
can then proceed at once to collect notes
and further strengthen the bank
Il have no doubt. if the bank reopens
that the present management will be able
SO that the impairment of the capital only
will amount to about $4,000 and a reduc-
ton Of this amount could later be made by
the stockholders. as a capital of $4,000
is more than sufficient for Its business The
present officers and directors are as fol-
lows: Russell Marston. president; Howard
cashier; DR.. Cobb W. C. Edwards; H. M
Crosby and w. B. Hawiey. directors. c.
w; Moore assistant. cashier.
A complete list of the assets is on file
in the department.
The directors. officials and employees gave
me all needed assistance during the exami-
nation.
The report shows that the bank at
the close of business March 90 had on
hand $8,688.54 in cash and other assets
amounting to S121 ,OG0.
Among the liabilities was So, 900 cap
ital stock, $685. outstanding in paper,
a. large item of the $4,000 was, however.
charged UP to profit and loss account.
1t was also liable for $72. .02, sub
ject to check, and due other banks.
During the time the affairs were in
the hands of Bank Examiner Kenyon.
various notes and items were paid
which reduced the assets and liabilities
to S125, 1913.
Following the inventory of the hold
ings of the bank a meeting of the di-
rectors was held, and it was decided
to only consider the value CT the as
sets of the bank for what they would
bring in case receiver for the bank
was appointed.
The report stated that at least 25
per cent of the uncertain notes would
undoubtedly be collected.
In closing, the report gave a sum-
mary of the present condition and the
circumstances which led up to it's tenn
porary suspension.

Work will be begun on the Northern

| of a mile. Some difficulty has been
experienced by the railway company in
| securing easements in connection with
| the frontage Of property on this right
| OF way; but In general the responses OF
| owners OF land have been favorable;
| and 1t may be said that seven-tenths Of
| the property fronts have already been
yielded to the company
1t has been evident that this DISPOSE
ton of the ground is not only Of much
| advantage to the property holders along
the line or the proposed improvement.
r but that great Improvement to real
/ estate in that neighborhood will be the
| natural outcome of the Introduction of
this spur line to this part of the city
| The wholesale district is already To-
Gated. along the edge Of the incoming
railroads, and 1t will probably never be
dislodged. The advancement Of this
spur so far into the city as this point
Will afford advantage for unloading in
| the rear Of storage houses that are al
ready to be built on this line. unsur-
passed by almost any city in the coUn-
try; while they will also have the adj
vantage Of deliveries on main or pr1n-
cipal streets. The present character Of
the property is almost altogether resi-
Dental. Years ago people of moderate
| means settled around that locality and
located their homes but with the
growth of the city, they have moved
| away and the property formerly occu
pied by them as homes is rented to
people in the more humble walkSof life.
The development in this section is,
therefore, a natural outgrowth of mu-
nicipal advancement, aided by CONNER
cial progress. There are already many
application for leaseholds in anticipa-
ton of the procuring of the right of
way. The principal difficulty which
the railroad company has encountered
| is in the tieing up of estates where sew
eral parties are interested in one par
ticular parcel of land, and as is nat
ural, good many minds have to be
brought into oneft focus, and financial
considerations are(involved.
1t is believed thatrthe company will
| secure easements 10 the full limit grant
ed by the ordinaflce, and that the de-
velopment of thelwhSlesale district Of
the city in that locality will result in
a large degree. /.

Order of the Probate Court in the
Matter of the Dayton Estate.


In an order made yesterday by Judge OTIS,
decision of the probate court in the matter
of the estate of May 1. Dayton was affirmed
A. N johnson was the appellant from de-
cision permitting the sale of certain prop
erty. The decision is interesting in this
point:
Death of the wife by virtue Of the statute
vested title to one-third of the real proper
ty in the husband, but by the same statute
such one-third charged with the pay
ment of debts. He must take 1t so bur-
dened or not at al and am unable to
how the fact of there having been no re-
demption of the other two-thirds from the
judgment sale cuts any figure. 1t follows
that the order of the probate court must be
affirmed

Los Angeles, Jan. 14.-The question as to what disposition is to be made of the fortune of U. c. Creede, the discoverer of the famous Colorado mining district of that name, is to be decided by Superior Judge Clarke of this county. The trial of the case is now on and 1t will consume some time. as eminent legal counsel has been en- gagged to show that the alleged pencil will which is now filed for probate is a fraud.
 Louise Creede, the widow of the dead miner, Is endeavoring to break the will. By It's terms she is excluded from all participation in the many thousands her husband left behind. She is 52 years of age. Her husband overlooked her in the alleged will, leaving one-half of an estate valued at about $40O,000 to little Dorothy Creede, their adopted daughter, and the other half to numerous relatives.

NO GOVERNMENT RELIEF.
The Oregon Battleship Expedition to
 Alaska Has Been Abandoned.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 14.-General Merriam, commanding the department of the Columbia, this morning received a telegram from the war department inst1ucting him to postpone the de- parture of the relief expedition to Alaska. Accordingly the contract to ship the expedition from this port on the steamship Oregon January 23, has been withdrawn. These orders effect the temporary abandonment of the ex- petition and it is understood they were based on the recent reports that there would be no starvation or suf- fering in the Yukon country that the government relief expedition could relieve.
