JUSTICE COURT UPHELD

st. Peter, September 7.-St. Pc
ter's justice court decision has been
sustained by Judge l. M. Olsen OF
New Ulm, in the st. George dance
hall case, which was tried here sew
eral months ago, it was learned this
week. 1t will be remembered that
the town board of Ridgely township
passed a resolution licensing all
dance halls. Soon. after Joseph Ho :
man, proprietor of the ST. George
hall, was arrested and faced trial
here for operating without license.
He was found guilty and fined $50.
He Immediately appealed the case to
the district court, on a claim that
the resolution of the township board
relative to licensing dances Is uncon-
stitutional and arbitrary, and that
the license fee demanded is kexces-
sive. Judge Olsen cut the fine down
to S25, but sustained the decision of
the justice Of peace. Steps have
already been taken to appeal tho
case to the state supreme court, 1t is
understood. The outcome of the test
case wf1l be of interest to many
town boards who have passed similar
resolutions.

JANIToR CASE is DECIDED
Judge G. S. Dean Hands Down Orders
In jackson Case.

IN JackSon SaSe.
Jackson, September Last Feb
ruary Robert B. Hunt brought action
against the board OF county com
missioners Of Jackson county direct
ing them to show cause why he
should not be appointed as janitor
employment under the provisions of
Chapter IA and Chapter 1872, of the
general laws of Minnesota, 1919,
known as the Soldiers Preference
Act
The case was heard by Judge Dean
in chambers at Fairmont, March 2.
Extensive oral arguments were made
nd briefs submitted to the court on
behalf OF both parties.
AS conclusions Of law the court
finds THAT the county board Of said
county cannot be compelled by writ
Of mandamus issued out OF this
court. to dismiss the respondent,
Jesse Page, from its service for the
order that the relator may be- ap-
pointed to fill such position.
THE court further finds as con-
clusions of law that the determine
ton by the side county board that
the relator was not as we'll qualified
to fill such position as the respond
ent, Page, involved discretion on the
part Of such board and that this
court has no power to control such
discreation on the part OF said board
and that this court has no power to
annul the findings of said county
board OF said county as to the 1T
ness and qualifications OF the relator
for such position, andI to substitute
the opinion OF the Judge of this
court therefore.
TT is therefore ordered and ad-
judged, that the alternative writ, to-
gether with this order to show cause
herein, be and the same as hereby
in all things dismissed, and that the
respondent have and recover their
costs and disbursements"
The commissioners contention
was that there was no vacancy at
the time Mr.. Hunt filed an applica-
ton for the job and that he was not
as well qualified as an engineer and
mechanic to fill the position as Jesse
Page. The courts findings uphold
