JUDGE OLSEN STANDS PAT IN
THREE IMPORTANT DECISIONS
John Caserly Wins Out in Contest for Right Redeem
Mortgaged Land from Minneapolis Lawyer, Who
Died Before Case Was Decided.
Order New Trial Denied in Criminal Case Against Ed
ward Fenske of New Avon, and also in Probate
Appeal of Cuff Estate Heirs

suddenly while at Omaha on a bust
ness mission. making it necessary
for the defendant attorneys to
change their pleadings so that Por-
ter's executor would have to make
restitution instead of the dead man,
who having paid the debt of nature
was out of the game.
The decision of Judge Olsen is said
to be highly satisfactory to Mr.. Cas-
serly and his friends, inasmuch as it
carries with it substantial justice
and equity to all involved.
In the case of State VS.. Edward
Fenske, found guilty of the crime of
bastardy at the last November term,
Someryille & Hauser applied to
Judge Olson for an order for new
trial on the ground of alleged errors
in the trial. The motion was denied,
and County Attorney Owens, who
made hard fight for conviction,
will have no kick coming on this
decision.
Judge Olsen also denied the appli-
cation for new trial of the appeal
from probate court case of Smithers
VS.. Cuff estate. The petition for
new trial was on the ground of new
evidence, but the judge, after going
over this evidence at considerable
length, is of opinion that the new
evidence does not justify the re-
opening of the case. By this decis-
ion, Attorney Dolliff gets little
balm for the Knockout given him in
! the city case.

Three important decisions by
Judge Olsen Of the district court
were filed in the. Office of the clerk
Of court the past week. One of
these was the Casserly mortgage
case, involving one of the most COM
plicated mix-ups Of titles that ever
came before any judge so compli-
plicated that The GAZETTE is unable
to follow all its mazes and present a
lucid story of the case.
It came before Judge Olson at the
November term of court, the plain
tiff, George w. Porter, Minneapo-
lis attorney. appearing on his own
behalf, and Joseph Kirby of Sioux
Falls, S. D., ably defending the in
terests of Casserly. The latter made
very mastery presentation of the
issues involved in the case. the SIM
pie elements of which were thresh-
ing machine unpaid for, two mort
cages on the same land, and each
party trying to do" the other.
While Attorney Dolliff of this city
was associated with Kirby, he is
willing to admit that the senior
counsel isentitled to the credit of the
victory, Judge Olsen by his recent
decision practically conceding all
that the defendant asked for-per-
mission to redeem the land in ques-
ton, subject to the equity of the
plaintiff for the amount the latter

MRS. KATHERINE RUDfR.
Died in This City Last Wednesday, in
Her 63d Year.

The angel of Death released the
spirit of Mrs. Katherine Ruder from
suffering on Wednesday Of last week,
after many months of pain conse-
quent upon an internal cancer with
which that lady was afflicted. Mrs.
Ruder came to this city with her
sons and daughters seven years ago,
occupying the farm formerly known
as the Pickett farm, northwest of
this city. A year or more ago she
went to Rochester for treatment
for a cancer, and received tempo
rary relief, and little later re-
moved with her daughter to this
city, and here they have since made
their home. Death relieved the un-
fortunate sufferer last Wednesday,
after her children had done all that
faithful care and medical attention
could do for her relief. The fun
eral was held on Friday following.
from st. GATHERINGS church, Of
which Mrs. Ruder was a communi-
cant, and the remains were taken
to GAINESVILLE. her old home, by
members of her family.
Katherine Keefer was born at
Budesheim, Rheinhessen, Germany,
July 9TH, 1915. Was welded to An
drew Ruder at the age Of q, and
three years later came with her hus-
band to Mankato, in 1870, they re-
moving to GAINESVILLE in 1877. Ten
years later Mr.. Ruder died, and in
the spring of 1901 Mrs. Ruder and
her family moved to their farm in
Delhi township, where the mother
remained until coming to this city a
year ago.
The six sons and daughters of
Mrs. Ruder live in this vicinity, as
Follows: Andrew, John and Joseph

October Term, A. D., 1907.
George L. Evans, Respondent,
VS..
City of Redwood Falls ct al, Apell-
ants.
l. Chap. 16, R. L.. 1905, provides
a general system for the regulation
of the business of selling intoxicat-
ing liquors which, is operative
throughout the state and imposes a
standard of regulation below (which
no municipality may fall. It does
not deprive municipalities of their
existing charter powers to provide
for such supplementary and addi-
tional regulations as are required by
local conditions. Such additional
regulations are not inconsistent with
the general law.
2. The requirement of the char
ter of the city of Redwood Falls
that all liquor licenses shall COM
mence and terminate on the goth
day of January of each year was not
repealed by Oh. 80 G. L. 1895 or by
1922 R. L. 1905, and is still in force.
Order affirmed.

OPINION.

This is an appeal from an order
restraining the common council of
the city Of Redwood Falls from is
suing liquor license which is not
to terminate on the Goth day of
January following the time of it's
issue. The record presents the sin
gle question whether the common
council of that city can issue a liquor
license under 1922 Rev. Laws 1905
in regard Of the provision of its
charter which requires all such Ii
censes to begin and terminate on
January 10th of each year.
This depends upon whether the
provision of the charter in question
was repealed by Chap. 80, G.. L.
1895 or by 1922, R. L. 1905.
The legislature. by chapters 5, 6
and II, G. J.. 1887. provided a gen
eral system for the regulation of
the traffic in Intoxicating liquors.
Sec. 2, of Chap. 5, authorizing the
issuance Of liquor licenses, provided,
"That no license shall be granted
for a longer period than one year or
for period beyond twenty days
after the annual election in such
village or city next ensuing after
the date of such license" Sec. 6,
Chap. 6, G. L. lit, contained pro-
vision. that, "All licenses granted
after the passage of this act, and
before July 1st, one thousand eight
