The Columbia Opera Company,
visitors from New York at the
Rialto, bring to their art a love
which should be all sufficient,
since there are few of the other
elements additionally associated
with opera in America, If not in
Italy.
For us there must be splendid
scenery and fabulous costumes, to
match celebrated names, but for
the Italian there need be only the
ardent Latin melody to glorify his
native language and he is content.

him on two chargeS-one for pos
session and sale, and the other on
sale of untaxed liquor.
Officers said he had been SELL
ing liquor off and on from this
spot for three weeks. Searching
his car, they found 100 bottles of
alcohol, gin and whiskey. 1t was
a regular auto saloon.
After the police had watched
Brown sell five bottles of liquor
they drove up to the car and de-
manded to search it. Brown lock-
ed himself inside and refused to
submit.

He resisted arrest on the way
to the police car and an officer
was forced to hit him twice with
his night stick. ..-
Brown said he would fight the
charges on the grounds that
search of the car was illegal. He
denied that he resisted arrest,
saying he was "beaten up" with
out provocation. He threatened

COMMISSIONER CANNOT
BUY PROPERTY OFF
RIGHT OF WAY

The Minnesota supreme court
Friday annulled the purchase OF
the Elsie NJ Appleton property IN
Redwood Falls for $4,000 by N.
w. Elsberg, state highway COM
missioner. The ruling was on the
ground that there was no lndlca-
ton the property was essential to
the highway 10 project at the new
Redwood river bridge.
The decision, against the state
of Minnesota and in favor of a
group of Redwood Falls taxpay-
ers including H. c. Werder, S. B.
Duea and A. J. White, climaxed
three years of litigation and af-
firmed the decision of Judge AL
bert H. Emerson in district court
here.
The high court held the COM
missioner had no authority to
purchase outright the property,
which was outside the designated
right-of-Way and make the tract
d part of it.
In a minority opinion descent
ing, Chief Justice H. M. Gallagher
upheld the power of the commits
sioner. Minnesota statutes clear
Iy vest the commissioner with
sufficient authority, Gallagher
said. and courts must rule within
the law.
When the state condemned sew
eraI tracts of land for the con-
struction of the new bridge and
highway approach to it, Mrs. APP
pleton'S property was not lnclud-
ed. Because it abutted the high
way. she claimed damages, teStl-
flying that noise of traffic and dust
had impaired the value of her
home and property to a consider
able degree.
The Redwood court appointed
commissioners who fixed the
award at $4,000 to Mrs. Appleton
From this, the attorney general
appealed. Before the case came
up on the docket, however, attor-
neys for Mrs. Appleton and the
state attorney general settled the
case by stipulation.
Under the stipulation, Mrs. APP
pleton was to remove the house
which she would continue to own
and Commissioner ElSberg was tc
purchase the lot for $4,000. Werd-
err, a taxpayer whose property
was among that originally con-
demned, White and Duea chal-
lenged the stipulation in Judge
Enersen's court as exorbitant.
Judge Emerson ruled in. Febru-
airy, 1886, that the Appleton pro-
perty was not worth more thar
$4,000; that the highway was no
plated through it, and disalloW'
ed the authority for the purchase
This the supreme court affirmed.
