Nemlnatins ! President.

Until the constitutional amendment
of 1904 the president and the vice pres
ident were voted for on the same bal
lot, the man with the second highest
number Of votes becoming vice presi-
dent. The presidential electors have
not always been chosen BY popular
vote.
Before 1900 It was the general Gus
tom for the state legislatures to choose
the electors, and It was not until 1928
that presidential electors were chosen
In nearly all the states by popular vote.
As late as 1876 the Colorado legislature
chose the three presidential electors to
represent that state. There u nothing

legislature naming it, own electors

DAM CASES CONTINUED.

There is to be special term of
court for Redwood county, commenc-
ing with Jan. 10Th next. The grind
at the present term is not large,
but it was deemed advisable by the
attorneys and Judge Webber to
have the special term, and after a
conference the above date was de-
cided upon as the very best time.
When this fact was announced
all of the Burmeister dam cases
were continued until that time.
This includes the application made
by John Clark, Jr., for perpetual
injunction restraining Mr.. Bur-
meister and the appraisers for do
ing what they have already done
viz, the entering.upon the ground
and appraising the same, and also
to enjoin Mr.. Burmeister from 60
ing ahead with the construction of
the dam. No temporary injunction
has been applied for in the case and
it is hoped that work on the dam
will be carried on this winter.
Another one of the dam cases on
the calendar is that of Gilbert Nc
Kay appealing from the award of
the commissioners on the tract in
lot 81, auditor s subdivision No. /,
on which Mr.. Mckay s residence is
located. The dam will force the
water about half way up the bluff
on Mr.. McKay's property, and his
grievance is that it will take out
considerable of his timber. The ap-
praisers contended that he was ben
Gifted as much as he was injured
and awarded him 81.
Lena Reese, owner OF what is
known as the Henzie tract just
south of the Herman Werder resi-
dence property, appeals from the
award OF 5000 made for q portion Of
lot 20, in fact of all but about one
eighth Of that lot. The property
has been used for garden purposes
for the past several years and Mrs.
Reese has been receiving an annual
rental Of about $40 for the same.
Mrs. Recess dissatisfaction over
the award arises out Of the fact that
the city, a couple Of years ago, or
dered a water main down Minnesota
avenue, and this resulted in an as
sessment of over 800 on the lot,
which, while coming up to the
street, lies in nearly all it's entirety
about 20 feet below the street level.
The fourth appeal is that Of
Christian Rain, who was awarded
$3.50 for the land to. be overflowed
on his farm properly in section /,
Redwood Falls township, on which
the city water works is located.

Upon this information DR.. Belyea
was tried. The jury returned a
verdict after twenty-four hours de-
liberation which the court refused
to accept, but ordered another
form Of verdict prepared which
was submitted to them, and which
they afterwards agreed upon and
returned. The syllabus of the
supreme court in the case is as
follows:
The information charged, or at
tempted to charge, the defendants
with, the crime Of murder in the second
degree committed by the defendants
while they were engaged in the COM
mission Of q felony defined BY section
7177, Revised Codes, relating to the
crime Of producing or attempting to
procure the miscarriage of q woman
pregnant with child. The facts con-
stituting the offense defined in section
TIT we're set out in the information.
Held, that the information did not
charge two distinct and independent
offenses and hence the demurrer there
to upon the ground of dupllcity was
properly overruled.
Held, further, that all averments In
the information relating to the sub
ordinate felony were properly and
necessarily inserted in the informa.
tion as descriptive of the major offense
that. Of murder in the second degree
