The city Of Minneapolis must pay
Redwood county s7ii.sO for the care
OF Nellie Risch. who died at Red
wood Falls, April 25, 1912, after
having been a public charge for six
months, so rules the state supreme
court.
The girl was born in Minneapolis
in 1886 and lived there with her
mother until 1903 when she was sent
to the Faribault school for the feeble
minded at the expense OF the city.
She went to live with her sister in
Redwood Falls. in August, 1911, and
the following month obtained work
as a domestic. On October 81. 1911,
she was severely burned while at
work and the county was COMPEL
ed to take care or her until she
died. The bill was presented to the
Minneapolis city council and turned
down.
The following is the syllabus in
in the case involving the validity Of
the Kato city ordinance prohibiting
minors from lettering in saloons:
First An ordinance OF the city
of Mankato making 1t unlawful for
a minor to frequent or loiter about
saloon. is not against the public
policy OF the state nor in conflict
with the general laws OF the state
forbidding sale OF liquor to minors,
and 1t is valid.
Second. The fact that in an In
vestigation by a grand Jury Of a
charge against another party the de-
PENDANT has been required to give
evidence which would tend to show
that he himself had committed an
other crime, cannot give him per
petual immunity from prosecution
for the offense committed by himself
where such offense may be proven
by independent evidence.
Third Chapter 1872, Laws 1905,
gives no immunity to the Defendants
In this case.
Fourth. The omission of the Judge
to indorse upon the complaint an
order for a warrant required by
law, cannot avail defendant after
plea, trial and conviction without
raising the objection.
Order affirmed.
