CLEARING A RECORD
It Becomes a Difficult Task When
the Case Deals With "Ancient {,
:. vs.
History"
Case Going Back to the Days of
81 Handled by Ell
+ Torrance.

Forty two years is long time to look
back in the court records of Hennepin
county. The stirring days of 81, when
the cloud Of civil war hung darkly over
the land and the pioneers of Minnesota
were seeking to unchain the giant re-
sources of the west, are part Of the long
ago. Yet occasionally in the course of
legal business it is necessary to revive
that past and to correct errors of long
standing.
A case of the kind came up recently
when Judge Ell Terrence examined the
title to a piece Of farm property situated
at Eden Prairie. The land had been
transferred numerous times in the last
half century, but owing to the careless
methods of doing business in country
districts, numerous errors had been al
lowed to creep into the title and the
judge was forced to make study of an
cient history in his effort to have every
thing Strengthened up.
In 1861 John w. Horton, pioneer, died.
His estate consisted mainly of an Eden
Prairie farm, valued at about $1,000. This
was left to his wife and six children and
John w. Horton, Jr., was appointed adj
ministrator.. That was in the days when
Judge N. H. Hemiup held sway and the
! court records are signed by him. It ap--
pears that a decree Of distribution was
| ISSUED in November, 1867, but was not
! filed in the probate court and 'conse-
quently no record OF 1t exists there.
Upon discovering this fact Judge Tor
renee sought and found the administrator,
| and a petition for distribution was made
/ and an order therefor granted by Judge of
1 Probate Harvey. The case was on the
| docket for June 1, 1903, forty-two years
! after the filing of the will, and No. 20, Of
| the early probate court records is
strangely: enough coupled with records
whose numbers are up in the eighty-two
hundreds.
Written With Pencil.
The files in this case are interesting.
Many Of them are written out in pencil
on stray pieces Of paper, only a few OF
them are marked filed, and the whole
record breathes of the strenuous days
l when judges kept their records largely
in the sweat bands of their hats or were
] too much occupied with more important
matters to keep any records at all.
Upon further investigation Judge Tor.
rance discovered that judgment hac
been issued in the district court agains
the Horton property in 1881. An appea
had been taken therefron, and perfected
Here, again, was a little bit Of ancien
history. The title of the case was Henry
G. Side against John p. Phelps. Boil
Of the principals have since passed int
the great beyond. The lawyers, how
ever, are still alive.

the present clerk of courts term Of office

their failure, they still have hopes of Sc
curing equally desirable property for CO.

DELUGE OF MUSIC
Poured Out Upon Minneapolis Yes
terday by a Great Band Of
415 Pieces. . s..
Retail Merchants Day at the Car
nival-Some Announcements
by the Management.

The band of Ais pieces which 9paraded
the down town streets yesterday was the
largest instrumental musical organlza-
ton ever heard in Minneapolis 1t was
made up of fifteen crack bands from diff
ferent parts of the state as follows: The
Journal Newsboys' band, the Hudson,
Wis, Cornet band; Brainerd Marine band,
Litchfeld Cornet band, Hutchinson Mill

Following the bands in the grand march
Of the mixed aggregation, after each
band had been given an opportunity to
show to what extent it could blow itself,
were handsomely decorated carriages con-
tanning prominent members of the Retail
Merchants association, Monday being de-
voted to that organization. The special
committee of merchants in charge Of the
day consisted of R. w. Munzer, Fred D.
Young, G. j. Gutgesell and Fred p. Pow
ers
The big band gave, an open air concert
| in the Midway and then disbanded, the
| players being given the freedom of the
grounds. t
| A large crowd collected down town last
evening to witness a second parade of the
band, but as the members Of the different
bands were footloose by that time, it was
4 found impossible to marshal them again
| for a mass parade. Several bands OBJ
/ ligingly turned out and gave impromptu
/ parares and concerts.
Big Prize Was Divided.
Owing to the indisposition of a majority
of the bands to compete for the $1,000
| which had been hung up as prize money,
that amount was evenly divided among the
different organizations.

Midway: and with the idea of inducing the
