the exercise Of the right of eminent
domain, is set back to it's first stage
and the process will have to be COM

The order vacates the report Of the
committee reported to decide upon
whether a necessity for the acquisition
of land exists and to appraise the de-
sired land all proceedings hereunder
and the courts order appointing the
committee.
The report is vacated on the ground
that the appraisal is inadequate and
presumably upon the further ground
that the decision that a necessity for
acquisition exists is unwarranted by
the facts. Ten days is allowed for the
filing of an application to have a new
committee appointed.

boy Of 10 he enlisted with Company e
Of the Second Minnesota volunteers,
whose first colonel was General H. P.
Van Cleve. The regiment made a
most enviable record and was great
favorite with General Thomas, who
had the Second in his brigade, divi-
sion and corps. Swenson was wounded
and captured at Chickamauga,
where the regiment served with signal
distinction. After leaving the army
he returned home and went into bust
ness. In 1879 Mr.. Swenson came to
Minneapolis to facilitate the dis
charge of his duties as treasurer Of the
Norwegian Lutheran conference and
take charge Of the financial affairs OF
Augsburg seminary and the Augsburg
publishing house.
Ever since that time he had man
aged the publishing house and re.
manned as treasurer of the conference
until it was merged into the United
Norwegian Lutheran church, when
he was made treasurer of the larger
organization, a position he retained
until the end.
In tie spring of 1884 he was elected
alderman for the old sixth ward, being
transferred later by act of the 1egis
lature to the eleventh ward after the
former had been divided. In 1888

READY TO FIGHT RAND
HOME PROTECTIVE LEAGUE
WILL OPPOSE ALDERNIAN'S
SALOON ORDINANCE IF 1T IS
OFFERED. .....s..

eff such an ordinance We're pre-
scented to the city council we would
take steps to oppose it before the
council committee on licenses said
Walter n. Carroll, president Of the
Home Protective league, this morn
ing in referring to Alderman Lars
Rand's announcement that he had in
preparation an ordinance which exon
crates the saloon-keeper who sells to
a minor who has nisstated his age.
1--WE know Lars Rand, and know
that he is fond Of playing to the gal
leries filed with the people whose
support he wants, and we doubt if he
has serious intention Of presenting
such an ordnance said Mr.. Carroll.
IF the saloon-keeper can without
danger to himself sell to any boy or
girl who states that he or she is of
age, then the difficulty Of convicting
a liquor dealer for selling to minor
is made almost an impossibility. 1t
is bad enough as it is.
when we are satisfied that Mr..
Rand really intends to present such
an ordinance to the council, we will
become active along the lines fol-
lowed in the Sodini and Park theater
license cases.
