In both cases the lower court was re versed. The one is of local interest, because tbe case was tried in this county before Judge A. R. Pfau, May 20,1911. The other is quite far-reach ing in defining tbe duties public ser vice corporations owe to tbe public. In tbe ease mentioned tbe Supreme court holds that a public service cor poration must furnish service to any one who asks for it, and who resides within the limits of tbe service cor poration, without discrimination. Tbe case arose in St. Paul, where William H. Mason was refused elec tric light connections by tbe Con sumers Power company. Here it was necessary to. cross a street to make tbe connections. The company_ held that Mason should make application to tbe council for tbe privilege of crossing tbe street. Tbe supreme court holdB that a pub lic service corporation which has accepted a franchise from a city authorizing it to operate therein is bound, by tbe law,to make no un reasonable discrimination between those to whom its service is furnished or is to be furnished and must not be partial and must serve all alike who are similarly circumstanced with reference to its system. Water, ea», electric light, power and telephone companies are classed by the supreme court as public service corporations. In tbe Berkner case which went up to tbe Supreme Court from this county, the question whether a second chattel mortgage properly filed run ning to a co-partnership with one of tbe co-partners as a witness is con structive notice to the public was one of the important issues in this case. Tbe Supreme court holds that it is and reverses tbe lower court. The sylla bus of the case reads as follows: 1. A chattel mortgage running to co-partners was witnessed by one of tbe co-partners, but tbe fact that tbe witness was a co-partner did not appear upon tbe face of the mortgage. As so executed it was filed in the proper office. Held, following Bank vs. Hare, 45 Minn., 40, that since the defect in the execution of the instru ment did not appear upon its face, tbe record thereof was constructive notice to persons dealing with the mortgaged property. 2. Tbe sale of mortgaged personal property at public auction under an arrangement between the mortgagor and mortgagee, though hot as a fore closure of tbe mortgage in accordance with tbe statutes, but in good faith for the purpose of raising fjnds to dis charge tbe mortgaged-debt, and with out purpose to oefraud subsequent mortgagees, does not constitute a waiver of tbe rights of the mortgagee a* against a second mortgagee of the same property. -f 3. Tbe first mortgagee, purchas ers of toe property at such sale, ma.v interpose the first mortgage in defense to an action by tbe second mortgagee, in which wrongful sale of tbe prop erty is charged.
