Along in 1851 an effort was inau-
gurated by General H. H. Sibley to
get the Fort Smelling reservation re-
duced. His was successful in the fol-
lowing year, when a large district
was released from the reservation.
Immediately enterprising citizens
swarmed across the river and staked
out claims.
In 1855 Governor Rice introduced
a bill in congress granting the pre-
ernpted land to the claim holders. The
bill became a law in the same year.
That was when Minneapolis got it's

were called, totaled SO republicans
and So democrats on the legislative
rolls. The republican members, claim
ing a bare majority, took possession
of the hall of the house at midnight,
IL hours before the legal time for
opening the convention. The object,
of course, was to get control OF the
offices and committees of the conven-
tion-a manifest advantage.
Delegates sat about the hall, smok-
ing, reading, one or two of them oil
ing the huge pistols which every man
at the convention wore. Some OF
them slept So through the night.
Precisely at noon of July 1S the
democratic delegates rushed into the
hall in body charging directly at
the speakers stand, as If to capture
it by main strength. But the repub-
licans formed line of battle and re-
PEELED them. AS the clock ceased
striking, both parties were shouting
"Order!" at the top of their lungs.
then they stopped, each to form a
temporary organization.
The democratic wing went at once
to the senate chamber to form per-
manent organization. The republl..
cans, left in undisputed possession of
their hall, formed their own. The
two factions began to write the con-
stitution. But each claimed to be the
legally constituted convention, and
there was constant pickering and not
infrequently blows.
Then some prophet whose name
was unfortunately never recorded,
came forward with the happy sug-
gestion that the two conventions
adopt alternate articles of the two
constitutions they had drawn. This
was done, and all was going fairly
smoothly until another almost fatal
difficulty arose. They could not de-
eide which side would have the honor
of officially signing the remarkable
| affair they had decided to call con
stitution. The same ingenious per
son then suggested that two consti
tutions be written, exact duplicate:
save for signatures. Then democra
tic officers were to sign one and re
publican members the other. Thu
constitutions were signed and place.

One of them-it probably neve
will be known which one-was adopt
ed by the people on Oct. Is, 1857.
They adjourned, this half an'
half legislature, on Aug. 29. Ever
then they themselves questione'
what the convention had accom-
plished. And today it is the opinion
of many historians that Minnesot;
, never had constitution, hasn't on
; now and in all probability really ISM
legally a state at all.
The fact remains that the constitu

people, and that those who voted TO
