SPECIAL TAX AS A LIEN
JUDGE DICKINSON DECIDES AS TO
CITY ASSESSMENT ON LAND,
SUCH A SEWER LEVY. q

Special city assessments, such as those
for sewer, water, paving and sidewalk,
made upon land Immediately become
liens and affect the title to the prop
erty. .~-,-,-.. --. 80. g.. 81. , 49,
This is the essence and meaning of
a decision today by Judge H. D. Dick
inson, in which he overrules demurrer
to the complaint in the case of Moritz
Bergstein against Eva K. Bertram and
Charles Bertram. HI. +.
Mo5tz BE agre ed to RurSShafs
and the agreement contained the usual
clause relative to membranes. Berg
stein later demanded that Mr. and Mrs.
Bertram deliver a deed to the prop
erty upon the payment to them of the
price agreed upon, less the three unpaid
installments of a 1903 special assess,
mept. The Bertrams refused, asserting
that the payments were not yet due
and did not constitute lien or an in.
cumbrance as contemplated in the
agreement. " s' 'Ts
Mr.. Bergstein brought suit to com
pei them to accept his offer. The Bert
rams represented by Charles Holmes
demurred to the complaint on thu
ground that it did not state facts suffi
cient to constitute a cause Of action
Mr.. Holmes argued at length in sup
port of his demurrer and commended
that the practice had always been no
to consider uncollectable payments O.
special assessments as liens, and tina
any decision to: the contrary woult
cause endless litigation and trouble. !,
Judge Dickinson, however, hal
studied the case thoroly and his con
and the laws of Minnesota the entir
assessment becomes a lien, and affect
the title to the premises. He has writ
ten a memorandum in which authorize
are cited and reasons given. The rul
ing will be Of especial interest to law
yers and land owners and will, if sus
tanned, materially change the presen
practice prevailing in sales and LAM
transfers.

COURT EXONERATES
500 LOCOMOTIVE
SUPREME JUDGES SAY IT Had a
RIGHT TO BLOW.
Men Who Was Injured in Runaway
Resulting from Loud Danger Signal
Can Get No Redress from the Rail
road Company.

The 500 railroad company won an i'm
portant victory today in the supreme
court decision reversing the verdict
for damages secured in the district
court in the case Of Edmond Gendreau
VS.. the Minneapolis, st. Paul Sault
Ste Marie Railroad company. It is
held in the decision that the conditions
blown. resulting runaway and the
plaintiffs injury, were such as to
bring the case under the exception pro-
viding for the blowing of whistles in
the city limits in cases of peril or dan
ger. This is the syllabus, written by
Judge Brown:
On the night of the accident com.
planned Of in this action two fires were
discovered in lumber piles near defen-
dant's railroad track in the vicinity
Of Thirty second avenue. in the city of
were sent to the place to extinguish
them. A chemical hose attached to one
Of the engines was stretched across the
railroad track at the above street.
Some time after the fire had been
brought under control and practically
put out, one Of defendants freight
trains approached the scene, proceed
ing westward. AS it neared Thirty
second avenue. the engineer sounded
of it's approach to people observed by
him near the track, and at about the
same time the engine ran over the
chemical hose, cutting it in two. the
result of which was a sharp report re-
sembling the firing Of gun. At about
this time, and either because Of the
engine s whistle or the report from the
hose, the horses belonging to the chem
ical engine became frightened and ran
away, jini4!ring plaintiff. an employee
of the lumber company. Tt is held that
the evidence is Insufficient to sustain
a finding Of negligence on the part of
the engieer in souding the whistle Of
his engine. or in running over and
cuttig the hose, which was the proxi-
mate cause of plaitiffs injuries.
The ordinances of the city of Min
neapolis prohibit the blowing Of whis-
ties within the city limits, except in
cases of peril and danger, and it is
held that the facts disclosed in this
case bring it within the exception.

WHEAT FIELDS ARE

If this million dollar weather holds
another wee kone Of the earliest spring
wheat harvests on record will begin,
Off in the advance places between Red
field and Aberdeen farmers will be
cutting wheat by week from today.
John Inglis, the crop expert who is
in the country, wired Minneapolis ~
noon today that the prospects are SPLEEN
did. H. ". Jones wired from Reville,
s. D., that in size and stand and st : !.
of maturity the wheat in that Wei y
excels anything ever seen at L.

Some Is Late.
: This does not mean, however, that
the entire crop is early. On the con-
trary, there are some important coun-
ties in North Dakota that are ten days
late. Sept. will see the first wheat
cut in some places, to judge from pres
emit appearances. ~
Nevertheless, the advanced places of
Minnesota and South Dakota will have
the effect of inaugurating an early har-
vest. Event tho the bulk, Of the crop
does not move much in advance of an
average date, the first threshing will
stimulate interest in the northwest and
start preparations for financing the
movement. ='''' =

Some Rust Reported.
The one bad feature the black rust
which is present in a dozen places in
Minnesota, North and South Dakota.
This is the genuine black rust that does
the damage, but it can do little harm
while the present good weather holds.
A turn to alternate wet and hot days
Nigh spread the infection rapidly, but
the immediate prospect is for good crop
weather and there is every chance for
the wheat to pull ahead and out Of dan
gere if it lasts. Rolette. Portal, Valley
City and Cokato were additional points
reporting rust today. In no case is
there material damage. /
Depends on Weather.
It is a question Of the weather. TIC
do its damage the rust has got to strike
wheat before it gets too well along OF
it cannot injure it. Hence, it is race
between the wheat and the rust, with
the good weather favoring the wheat
