According to the mass of evidence

That North Dakota lost on the

TWELFTH STREET
CASE TO COURT
Writ of Mandamus Served
On City Auditor-Re
turnable October 20

James German. lis Twelfth street
north, representing 90 others. through
his attorney. James A. Clarity, Moo
head, obtained a writ of mandamus
from Judge A. T. Cole, Third judicial
district, this morning ordering the
Fargo city commission to show
cause for failure to open Twelfth
street north, between Second and
Third avenues. The writ is return
able at 10 o'clock Saturday morning,
Oct. 20, and was served on A. iR. Wat
kins, city auditor. for the city today.
The writ charges that the city Of
Fargo vacated a street through which
sewer and water mains had been
constructed, without the consent Of
a majority of property owners af-
fected, and in violation Of section
129. article 16 of the charter OF the
city of Fargo. Stress il also laid on
the fact that a new school building
is being erected on Twelfth street
north between Third and Fourth ave-
nues, and children residing south Of
the vacated street will be forced TO
walk blocks out Of their way to
reach the school.
Twelfth street is the first street

crossed by several of the company's
tracks.
City's Action Undecided.
What action the city will take in
answering the writ has not been de-
termined upon. City Auditor Wat
kins, upon whom the writ was sery-
ed this morning, said this afternoon.
No action will be taken until We'd
nesday morning when the city COM
mission meets.
The city, however, occupies a
unique position in the matter. I'M
der the council form Of government,
the city acquiesced in the occupa-
ton of that portion OF Twelfth street
north between Second and Third
avenues, over which the Chicago,
Milwaukee G. st. Paul tracks pass,
by the railway company in 1911, and
received in return other properties
which have since been occupied by
the city. The railway company fur
ther strengthened its claim to the
property by q suit in district court
before Judge G. A. Pollock, the city
not contesting.
The matter OF opening the street
has been brought before the commits
sion several times, the present plain
tiffs twice asking action.
