School District No. 81 ct al Julius J.
Olson and Charles Loring, attorneys
for appellants, and A. N. Eckstrom
for respondent. This is the famous
Alvarado school case which has been
fought in both the district and sup
rene court. From the supreme court
the case was sent back to the district
court for retrial as to the contention
of school district No. sc. Alvarado,
has been trying to attach surround
ing territory with view to establish
consolidated school. Certain lands,
3la sections, in the old school district
no. 36 were to be detached and added
to the Alvarado district, but there
was strenuous opposition on the part
of the old district. Judge Watts, of
Crookston presided at the trial and
| he ruled that the only question for
the jury to determine was whether
the benefits to be derived form the
change would outway the injuries, in
all the territory affected thereby.
| The case was hotly contested and
ably handled on both sides. The jury
in the case was composed of farmers
and their verdict was in favor Of
appellant, the village of Alvarado,
which now has clear sailing in it's
laudable efforts to establish a good
consolidated school.

varado, which has been considered by
probate, district and supreme court,
was settled at this term Of court.
