twas early i'll 1895 when Mr.
Harry Horn called upon me ano

equity in the United States cir
cult court. on behalf of a client
one Thomas w. Pearsall, to enjoin
the companies from CONSOLIDATE
ing. He wished me to intervene
on behalf Of the State Of Mime.
Sofa After consideration, ! de.
cided not to intervene, but at
tended the hearing of the case as
a spectator and when the deci

ing to enjoin the consolidation, ]
began, In the name of the State,
an action in the district court OF
Ramsey county foc a similar pur-
pose, based largely upon inform
alton disclosed by the pleadings
filed in the Pearsall case. The
motion was heard by Judge Will
lam Louis Kelly and the argu-
ments consumed about four
days
ssWhat was the result Of the
action?"
Judge Kelly, in an able and ex-
haustive decision given on No
yember IL, 1895. sustained the
position taken by the State of
Minnesota and granted the mo-
ton for an injunction.
tsThen the railroad consolida-
ton was knocked on the head?"
Judge Kelly held that was
in contravention ofthe State lays
governing railroads and their
power to consolidate, and SO de-
cided, = replied Mr., Childs,

Amid all the tumultuous out.

&c. 49, 500
Amid all the tumultuous out
pourings and loud professions OF
politicians more or less disinter-
ested, over the merits OF at
tempted merging of the railroads
known as the Northern Pacific,
Great Northern and Burlington
systems, but very few persons
recall the quiet but decisive action
taken in 1895 by Hon. Ill. w.
Childs, then attorney general for
the state Of Minnesota, by which
he prevented a proposed con,
solidation Of the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific Railway
companies,
Without clamor Of trumpets,
without theatrical display or q
triumphant progress in state,
without seeking or soliciting the
aid or counsel of the authorities
Of other states. or Of the United
States. Mr.. Childs, as the chief
legal adviser Of the State, invoked
the laws Of Minnesota and en-
tirely on his initiative, substituted
proceedings in district court Of
Ramsey county, and effectually
prevented the proposed railroad
consolidation.
His actions in this important
matter we're refeshingly cool,
conservative and businesslike.
He made no unseemly claim OF
superior patriotism, but per
formed his full duty as a sworn
officer Of the State, assailing no
mans character or impugning
the integrity Of anyone, and
found his credit and satisfaction
In the nostentatious and faith
full performance Of that duty.
His wprA=was done thoroughly
and he did IT single handed and
unaided without involving the
State in any extra expense for
assistant counsel or other lux
Hries.
It. may be claimed that in the
suit against the railroads now
pending, that owing to the array
of legal luminaries opposing the
State, that it was necessary to
.expend large sums of money, as
has been done, in retaining extra
and expert counsel to assist the
present attorney general, but
without detracting from the bril-
liancy and reputation for ability
of the counsel for the railroad
companies in the present suit,
it might be stated that the coun.
sci for the railroads in 1895 in.
Guided the Hon. G.. K. Davis, M
D. Grover, E. p. Sanborn and c.
"A. Severance, quartette whose
legal skill and learning could no
be excelled, and without assist
.ance or the extra expenditure o
one dollar, Mr.. Childs won the
case for the State.
It is characteristic of tn
modesty Of the man that when
reporter for the Union sought t
interview Mr.. Childs and secur
from him a statement settin;
forth the history of the cas-
which he conducted in 1895, an,
the causes which led him to con-
mence the proceedings, that h
manifested a strong disinclins
ton to discuss the matter, bu
finally was induced to refer to
in brief historical way and t
y ~
answer several questions bearin
upon it
what led you to commenc
the action?:o was asked.
The first information l re
ceived regarding the propose
consolidation of the Great Nortf
ern and Northern Pacific RailWa
\ companies, replied Mr.. Childs
