ment was reached between the miners

BUCHANAN GAINS
FIRST POINT
Court Holds Causes of Action I'M
PROPERLY Joined in Ram i
4 sey County. !.

Judge Bhill at st. Paul has sustained
Congressman G. B. Buchanan 8 demurrer
to the comp laint in the states suit to
recover sonfe $4,000 for the alleged
timber trespAsses in st. Louis and Itasca
counties. The court grants leave to the
state to amend it's complaint within
Sustaining THE demurrer, the court
finds that three causes of action
triable in othep counties are Improperly
joined in the action brought in Ram
sey county. The complaint recites al
legged trespasses in st. Louis county and
two trespasses in Itasca county. AS to
two Of the trespa$ses the state demands
treble the amount of the actual dam
ages and in the Third double the amount.
The law provides that in action on
penalty the action must be brought
in the county where the cause Of act ion
accrued. The state argued that. it was
not suing for a penalty within the
meaning of, the statute and so the action
could be brought in Ramsey county.
Judge Brill holds that the state is SUI
ing to recover statutory penalty when
it demands double and treble damages.
If the plaintiff had brought it's suit to
recover actual damages only, it might
have sued in Ramsey county.
The question of the application Of the
statute of limitations also arose. Suits
for penalty must be brought within
three years and the court finds that the
suit for penalty in this action is barred
by the statute.
