ELECTRIC RAILWAY TALK.
Proposed Trolley From Faribault to
Blue Earth.

rTOTl rTludy bdhy.
The electric railway fever has Blue
Earth well in hand. The Register of that
/ place says that on Monday evening the
Commercial club held meeting for the
purpose of considering the feasibility
as well as desirability of an electric
street car line to run from Faribault,
Mimi, to this point, or beyond to East
Chain Lakes. As has been noticed in the
reports of the city dailies of late, such
road is strongly talked of, and let
ters have been received from the man
ager of st. Louis company who is look
ing up the matter. The proposition was
talked of very favorably by those of
our citizens who were present, but as
yet nothing tangible has been done, but
it was the desire of those assembled
that the secretary of the Commercial
club, w. Z. C. Ross, write the promoter
of the proposed road and find out more
definitely regarding it. We believe ii
would be a good thing, not only for Blu.
Earth but the country traversed by such
a line. 1t would create no new towns
but people living in the country coult
come to town more easily. The towns
reached in this county would be Minneso
to Lake, EastOn and Blue Earth. Thi>
would enable people living on the Mil
waukee railroad east of Winnebago, il
this county, to come to the county sea
with less trouble, or people of this cit!
could visit the outlying towns with more
ease. Let the road be built!

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Mankato Cases Are Decided BY the
Highest Tribunal.


The following cases were decided
by the supreme court yesterday:
Anna NJ. Willard, appellant, VS.. John
b. Hodapp, ct al, respondents.
Syllabus-Action to determine adverse
claims to real estate. The plaintiff is
the owner of the land unless her title
has been divested by tax Judgment and
sale under which the interviewer claims
title. The tax judgment and sale were
for assessments for local improvements
pursuant to the provisions of the char.
ter of the city of Mankato.
First-ShOrt statutes of limitations as
to actions to test the validity of tax
sales do not apply to actions for the
possession of real estate, nor to actions
where the party invoking the statute al
leges title in himself by virtue of the
tax sale, and asks the court to determine
the question of title upon the merits and
adjudge it to be in him, for such iudg-
ment would carry with it as necessary
incident the unquestionable right to
the possession of the land London & n.
W. Co. VS.. Gibson, II Minn. 394 follow
ed
acknowledgement in local assess
ment proceedings under the charter of
the city of Mankato stand upon the
same basis as judgments in ordinary tax
proceedings and cannot be impeached in
a collateral action by showing irregu
larietieS in the assessment proceedings.
Third-The finding and decision of the
trial court to the effect that the tax
sale was valid and the interviewer the
owner of the land in question are sus
tanned by the evidence. Order affirm
ed. Start, c., J.
A. E. Clark respondent, VS.. Chalres
Baxter and j. E. Baxter, appellants.
Syllabus-Repeals by implication are
not favored, but if subsequent statute
although not repugnant in all its provis
ions to the former enactment on the
same subject, is clearly intended to pre-.
scribe the only rule which should govern
in the case provided for, it repeals the
prior law by implication. Chapter l43
of the laws of 1899, repealed paragraph
5l9l G. S. 1894 by implication and re-
quired that changes of venue in muni-
cipal courts of the class to which it ap-
piled, including the municipal court of
Mankato, be secured in accordance with
practice in the district court. Judgment
affirmed. Jaggard, j.
