LEWIS C. BRANSON-Th first dis
trict Judge of the sixth judicial dis
trict, was born March l6, 1925, near
Flushing, Belmont county, Ohio. He
was of Quaker ancestry. AT the age
of eleven, the family removed to Henry
county, Indiana, where he was self
educated, and studying law, was ad-
mitted to the bar. He opened his first
law office in Wabash, Ind. But
weary of the swamps and miasmatic
conditions there, he took his wife and
two children, April, 1855, and came
direct to Nankato, arriving here with
but two dollars and fifty cents in his
pocket. Here he buried two children /;
the first dying soon after the judges
arrival, was the first death among the
white people at Mankato.
Oct. l3, 1857 he was elected judge
of the sixth judicial district and serv-
ed until December 3lst, 1864, the term
of seven years, being the first judge
of this district under the state con-
stitution. 1t was during his incum-
bency that nearly all of the judges
deeds were obtained by the settlers
of the lots in the original town site
of this city, at the conclusion of the
long litigation touching titles between
the settlers and the town site pro-
prietors.
In October, 1866, he gathered up his
belongings and taking his family, re-
moved to the far west, settling in
San Francisco, early in 1867, where he
remained until 1875, practicing his
profession. Health failing, he remov-
ed to Virginia city, Nevada, but the
''boom" ccasing, in 1880, he again re-
moved, finding home and practice
in Leadville, Colorado. In 1885 he
made a final removal to Seattle, in
Washington, near where he yet lives
He had accumulated quite an indie
pendence, but the crash of 1898, swept
it nearly away.

Final Reading TO Be Had at the
Next Regular Meeting.
From Saturdays Daily.

FROM saturday DAILY.
The ordinance to prevent switching
across Main street was taken up by
the council last night and given its
second reading. 1t was amended so
as not to prevent street cars from
crossing the street.
An amendment to better state the
object of the ordinance was proposed
Division Superintendent Shaker of
st. James, of the Omaha road was
present and stated that if the ordi-
nance was passed it would practically
cut his road out of Mankato. He
did not think that any effort was be-
ing made to injure his or the North
western company, but the ordinance
might be construed as prohibiting the
roads from bringing switch trains to
the city or making movements when
necessary. He had heard of no COM
plants against his road for blocking
the crossing, and was much surprised
to get a notice that the council in
tended to pass this ordinance.
Mayor Andrews said that he had
heard no complaints as to the Omaha
and Northwestern roads. Still, the
Milwaukee switching is terrible
nuisance. He asked what could be
done to stop it and not be unjust to
other roads.

The firemen, state that if they had had
one of these trucks they could have

use at fires in large building, and the
need of an aerial truck is badly felt.
Its purchase has been recommended
for several years and the council
should consider the matter earnestly.

and expressed a doubt as to whether
the courts might call it unreasonable
The ordinance as amended would pro-
hibit switching merely.
Superintendent Shaker said that it
is necessary to switch between the
Omaha and Northwestern yards. and
it might be necessary to block the
crossing somewhat. The ordinance
would affect his roads directly, Il,
much as the Milwaukee.
Aid. Atchison said that the NIilwau-
kee switching is also a great incon-
venience for the Omaha road, as
much so as to the public Something
must be done.
Aid. Eichstaedt suggested that the
city hire a man to stand at the
crossing and arrest anyone who blocks
the crossing more than the five mir
utes allowed by law.
Must Vote Against 1t.
Aid. Gary said that he could not
vote for the ordinance, because it is
an impossibility to stop switching.
There would be the same trouble with
the other roads in other parts of the
city were it not for the fact that
they own the land on the river side
where their yards are.
Aid. Atchison said that he had been
on the council for three years and

sand promises and not carried them
out The council started two years
ago to pass this ordinance. He wished
to wash his hands of the matter
now, as he saw there were going to
be votes against it.
No Boys Play Desired
Mayor Andrews asked that there be
no boys play, and that the ordinance
be passed. For intelligent men and
the city attorney to say that an or
dinance cannot be framed that can be
enforced is too much. The Milwaukee
road has asked that the final vote be
delayed until the next meeting when
it's representatives will be present. He
suggested that the ordinance be
amended so that transfer trains be
not included.
Mr.. Shaker said that his road does
no switching across Main street, but
does transfer trains from one yard
to another.
City Attorney Schmitt said that
even the supreme court, if members
of the council, could not pass an or
dinance that is unreasonable and eX-
pect to see it enforced. He suggested
that the ordinance be passed, however,
and it could be litigated and its legal
ity tested.
