ST. CLOUDS LID"
TO SUPREME COURT
MAYOR ROBINSON SPARS FOR
TIME.
If Case Is Not Heard Until April Term,
He Will Be Out of Office to Serve
as State Senator--Attorney General
Requests Hearing This Term.

Edward T. Young, attorney general,
was today served with notice Of appeal
in the case of the state of Minnesota
ex rel. Edward T. Young, against
John E. G. Robinson. This is the now
famous st. Cloud "lid' case, in which
the "lid' forces Of that city are try
ing to- GUST Robinson from office as
mayor because he refused to make ar
rests and prosecutions on complaints
and turn st. Cloud into "idon'
town.
The district court at St. Cloud ruled
against Robinson on Oct 20. Robinson
had demurred to the original complaint,
and the appeal was on the overruling
Of the demurrer. This will bring the
case before the supreme court, not on
its merits, but on an Interpretation of
the statutes (chapter 16 Of the new
code), declaring it to be the duty of
the mayor Of city to cause complaint
and arrest of all persons violating the
law in cases of which he has personal
knowledge, "..9~
Delay Is Valuable.
Mr.. Young this morning sent a re-
quest to the attorneys for Robinson,
that they consent to have the case in
serted in the calendar of the present
term of the state supreme court. It is
not probable that the request will be
acceded to, as it is greatly to Robin
sons advantage to delay the case until
the next general term, which is not till
April. Robinson was elected state SEN
ator from the St. Cloud district at the
last election. To fill the position in
the senate it will be necessary for him
to resign as mayor before January.
This will forestall any action of the
courts in removing him from office.
Given if the case has to be con-
tlnued TIL the April term and cannot
be heard till Ro binson removes himself
from the office by resigning, I still in
tend to push the prosecution said
Mr.. Young. II shall continue the case
in order to enforce the penalty clause
of the law. If the court finds Robinson
should have been removed, he becomes
liable under the statute for a penalty
not to exceed $50O.'
