JUSTICES WORKED LATE
THEY SPENT 4 HARD NIGHT PRE-
PAIRING ELECTION DECISION.

Chief Justice Start committed what Is
regarded as a serious breach Of judicial
etiquette Wednesday night, when lie
burned an amount of. midnight oil, that a
conclusion might be reached by the SUI
preme court in the Ramsey county off
cial ticket CONTROVERSY. For the first time
in years. when the legislature has not
been in session, the library door was
open, and until late hour. The rules
and usages of that very grave and conse-
quentiaI body of men, the supreme court,
are lust as exact as the metric system,
and one might as easily appreciate de-
Walton in the position Of the great dip
per as even entertain a thought Of any
concession in practice being made by the
profound gentlemen of the highest bench.
People passing by saw a light in the
iudgess chambers as well as the public
library, and it burned until the day was
young. Such thing as the judges Ia
boring in their chambers after nightfaH
has rarely been heard of before. When
ever the court is pressed for time the
Judges take the decisions home with
them. but to actually labor after the pail
of night is hardly to be accounted for.
Judge Start, however, when he mount
ed the bench yesterday morning, looked
as fresh and happy as a school boy

goodness were heard on every side. Peo-
pie wanted them and they bid quick and
high from the jump, In many instances
tioneer had an opportunity to call for an
offer. 1t was the general impression that
this sale and those that have preceded
it have done much to diSabuse the minds
of the people that the Western horses
are worthless broncI1os, and that instead
they are good, well-bullt and well-bred
and useful animals, we'll worth all the
money that Is paid for them.
When the last of the Western had been
sold the several cars of natives that had
been brought in for the sale were put up,
and at O'Clock the last of these had
been sold, and there was not horse in
the yards that had not been disposed of.
II the people were pleased with the West
ern animals, the native-bred horses were
q revelation to them, for they were as
fine lot as it would be possible to find
in many day, and, like the Westerns,
they sold quickly and at especially good
prices. Practically the only difference
in the selling was that more time was
consumed in proportion to the number
owing to the fact that the natives were
shown. one and two at a time.
Taken in all the sale was huge sue
cess from every standpoint. The weather
was threatening for "a short time in the
morning. but the skies cleared early and
The Gay turned out as though made to
order. and this was a great aid, for the
horses were shown to much better ad-
yantage.

Mr.. Beutner considers the commission
especially fortunate in being able to Sc

the long journey by rail from the north

THE LAW UPHELD.
SUPREME COURTS DECISION ON
The POTTGIEsER CONTENTION.

The supreme court of the state made
short work of the question brought before
! 1T as to the constitutionality of section
4S OF the general election law of the
state. The question came UP on an appli-
cation for a writ of prohibition re-
straining the judges of the district court
from ordering any change in the make
up of the official ballot for the coming
city election, as prepared by City Clerk
Jensen.
Under the section power is given any
Judge of the supreme or district court to
order the officer having charge of the
making UP of the official ticket to show
cause. on the presentation of affidavits
why, in case of an error in placing wrong
fully the name Of any person on the bal
lot, or emitting any name, the error
should not be corrected.
The point was made that the section
was repugnant to the constitution of the
United States and the constitution of the
state, in that it did not provide in dis
| tinct terms for the serving of a notice
on the persons whose names had been
wrongfully placed on or omitted from
the ballot That, in consequence of the
failure to so provide for a notice, the
candidate was not protected, and depriv-
ed of his rights without due process Of
law and hence the section was unconsti-
tutional and void.

came up before the supreme court

argued the case before the United States
