JUDGE ]. Il. LO[HL
IN DOUBT ABOUT
THE NORTH SIDE
: CITY PETITION

Judge of Probate J. H. Loehl OF
Nicollet county is now holding the
petition of North Mankato citizens in
which a change from village govern
ment to government of the fourth
class city is asked but does not know
at this time what will be his proce-
dure in the matter. 1t is specified In
the law covering such cases that the
judge Of probate shall accept such
petition IL it bears the signature OF
two thirds the legal voters of the viii
lage making such petition There
comes the, rub for the law does not
specify the method for arriving at the
number necessary for a two thirds.
1t is common in such laws to fx
the number of voters at some elec>
ton prior to filing Of the petition a
base for calculation but in this case
no such provision was made by the
last legislature. In 1920 there were
749 voters in North Mankato but
claims are now made that the number
far exceeds that figure.
Judge Loehl said today that he win
submit the question to some one at
the state capitol, probably the attor>
ney general, who will be asked for an
Mankato can become = city Of the
fourth class.
One North Mankato property owner
said today that after the petition was
filed, additional effort was put forth
by the sponsors Of the fourth class
city movement to get more signatures
for the same petition.

OLD-TIME VOLUME
Religious Book That Has Witnessed
Many Passiag Years

Rochester Mimi, January 21.-
Speaking of relics, probably one Of
the oldest and most revered books in
Rochester came into the hands Of the
editor of The Post and Record. A
frawed and yeuowed religious volume
1t was, limiting vaguely Of bygone TO
mantle ages when men wore short
trousers, carried swords, and fought
passionate duels In the moonlight for
the favor of their fair ones; when
queens fell in love with their young
pages, and kingdom plotted against
kingdom.
This remarkable volume is owned
by Rev c. C. Englebart, former pas
tor OF the Church of Evangelical AS
sociation. The book, written in Ger
man, and entitled, "True Christen-
dom" is one hundred fifty six years
old, being printed in Leipsic in 1866
1t has gone down through seven gen
erations and was finally given to
Mrs. Englebart's grandmother.
Rev. Englebart stated that in those
chtvalrous but painful days, it was
considered stern duty to read GER
tain religious books and that "True
Christendom" was one of them. Fail
ure to read them often resulted in
damp dungeons or the guillotine.
The author of the sacred volume
was Johann Arndts
