In Davis vs. Mayor, supra, Jhe New

the action of the council of the city
||of New York in granting the use of
Broadway for a street railway. Ac
tlon was brought by a payer to re-.
'^Atraln and enjoin the construction of
the road. The opinion is by Denio, C.
J., and among other things he says:
yi "The power of the corporation (New
York City) over this subject (the

streets) to necessarily ver^ large. It
may lay out, open, alter, repair and

these associates would be the very def
inition of a franchise. The privilege,
of making a road or bridge, or of es
tablishing a ferry and of taking tolls
front the cltisens for the use of the
siune, are among the most common
examples of a franchise. The board
has no powr to grant to any person
a franchise for transporting. passen
gers on the public streets, for-profit,
tor a single day, and the attempt to
do So was Wholly void."
Comstock, J., in concurring says:
"Taking,- therefore, the whole ordi
nance together and giving effect to it,
according to its terms and intentions,
it, is no, less than an abrogation by
the common council of their powers
and duties over and concerning- the
public street and the surrender of a
considerable portion of those powers
and duties into the hands of private
Individuals or ofa private corporation.
This .the corporation of New York can
hot do."
Mr. Dillon (Sec. 716) in speaking of
this casts says: "The Judgment of the
court in the case Just mentioned rests
upon the sound principle that the pow
ers of a corporation in respect to the
control of its streets are held, in trust
for the public benefit, and can not,
unless clearly authorized by valid leg
islative enactment, *e surrendered or
delegated by contract to private par
ities, either corporate or natural."
The same action on the part of the
municipality came against before the
supreme court of New York in MilhaU
vs. Sharp, supra, and SeljlonJ., voic
ing' the Opinion ot the court says:
"These privileges (die right .to lay
tracks on Broadway), whether, they
create a. monopoly or not, constitute
a franchise The granting of fran
chises was a part of the prerogatives
of the British Crown which on the
seerance of the Colonies from Great
Briton became vested in the people
and no. franchise can be created in this
state, without authority to create it
derived from the people through the.
legislature.- The corporation of New
York can grant ferries (franchises)
because that power has been ekpressly
granted to it, but neither the corpora
tion'nor the common council has been
authorized to create a franchise of the
cba'racter of that granted in the'reso
lution under consideration. It follows
that the resolution, relating to a sub
ject not within Jhe powers of the body
passing it, is merely void. On other
grounds, without reference to its char
acter as creating the franchise, the
resolution is equally objectionable.
It amounted also to an immediate
grant of "the street, and, it would seem,
of a freehold interest in the soil of the
streets to the defendants. The rails,
when laid, would become a part of the
real estate and the exclusive right to
maintain them perpetually is vested
in the defendant, their successors and
assigns. If the resolution should be
sustained, no power would remain in
the corporation to remove the railway
after its construction, if it should
prove to be a nuisance, or to reduce
the rate of fare, if it should be found
unreasonably high, or to compel the
introduction of any improved method
of conveyancer it at any future time
such method should be invented, with
out the consent of the dfendants or
their successors and the powers of
the corporation over the street in
many other respects would be abridg
ed. Those powers were given to the
corporation as a trust to be held and
exercised for the benefit of the public
from time to time as occasion may re
quire and they could neither be dele
gated to others nor effectually abridg
ed by any act of the corporate au
thorities. Such trust Is, in that re
spect, governed by the general princi
ple that the duties of the trustee can
not be delegated without express pow
er for that purpose conferred by thfi
author of the trust. The resolution is
therefore, void, for the reason that it
purports to create a franchise which
the common counctl has no power to
create to vest In the defendant an
exclusive interest in the streets which
the common council has no power to
convey and to digest the corporation
of the exclusive 'Control over a street
which has been given to It as a trust
for/ the "use of the' public and which
it Is not authorized to relinquish.
The law applicable to, the city of
New York and its rights to grant a
franchise of this character continued
as established in the two preceding
cases until the amendment in 1874,
of the constitution Of this state under
which amendment, power was granted
to the municipality to create and con
vey. franchises and rights of this char
acter, whereupon a franchise was
granted for Broadway, and the ques
tion again came before the court in
People vs. O'Brien, 111 N. Y. 1 the
franchise then in question was with
out any express limitations and it was.
held by reason thereof to be perpetual
in its terms and because ot the added
authority of the municipality, to be
valid. The opinion is by Ruger, C. J.,
and among other things he says: "The
titles to streets in New York Is vest-
and why yon should use them..

POLICE AFTER
A BOY
Wanted on East Side for Thefts at
the Northwestern Hotel—Youngster
Succeeds In Making His Escape—
Whereabouts UnknowiuV^KjH
Last evening the officers from the
east side were watching the outgoing
trains on both sides pf the river for
a young boy about 1'4 years old, small
for his age, dark complected and
wearing gold rimmed glasse. A war
rant had been sworn out for his ar
rest by Andrew Peterson, proprietor
of the Northwestern hotel on the east
side.
it seems that things have been miss
ing with surprising frequency and
that all things pointed to the boy as
the guilty party. This time it is a
watch which belongs to Mr. Peterson.
Although a close scrutiny was kept
on all outgoing trains, the boy was not
apprehended last evening.

John Maley, who has had somewhat
of a strenuous life during the last
three weeks, pleaded guilty yesterday
in district court to a charge of con
ducting a nuisance in the character of

About three weeks ago the officers
went to Niagara to bring Maley to Jus
tice, but soemhow he got wind of the
proposed plan of the officers' and pur
chased a walking ticket out of town.
A week later he was arrested in East
Grand Forks and brought over to the
Dakota side, and has since been in
durance vile. He will continue to
board with Sheriff Turner at the ex

TRIAL BEFORE
Last evening the submission of
evidence in the case of the Northwest
ern Bridge company vs. County Audi
tor J. W. Fabrick of Ward county was
concluded at Mlnot at lO o'clock. It
will be remembered thai Mr. Fabrick
refused to pay a warrant for the con
struction of a bridge ordered by the
county commissioners on the ground
that it was illegal as the expenditures
had exceeded the levy. He was man
damused to show cause why he should
not pay the warrant.
The testimony submitted by the de
fense tended to show that the com
missioners had exceeded their author
ity in issuing the warrant while the
defense sought to explain the legality
of the act The arguments by the at
torneys relative to the performance of
the mandamus will be made this even
ing at 8 o'clock.
The attorneys for the plaintiff are
Geo. McGee and Joseph Denoyer. For
the defense, A. M. Gray, J. B. Wine
man and L. W. Swnason.

feasance in office and their removal is

INTEREST IN GHAIN CASE.
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
Must Appear.
Much interest is manifested by grain
men and especially members of the
Wisconsin grain commission as to the
outcome of the proceedings instituted
by the Globe Elevator company which
comes up in the federal court at Madi
son on March 1. On the latter date
the members of the commission are
cited to appear before the court and
show cause why a temporary restrain
ing order should not be Issued against
them from interfering with the hand
ling of the company's grain in Super
ior pending the final outcome of the
suit Jn the courts relative to the con
stitutionality of the Wisconsin grain
law.
As yet the defendants in the case,
the members of the commission, Chief
Weighmaster Kimball, Chief Inspec
tor Christenson and the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railroads
have not been summoned to appear in
court, but such summonses are expect
ed within a day or two. The service
will not alter existing conditions,
which may be changed only by action
on injunction proceedings.

The teamsters who left their horses
on the street today with or without

find them gone. There were a dozen
or more runaways but only one suc
ceeded in getting up any excitement'.
The big team owned by the Diamond

east. When they passed the Ontario
they stirred up one of Howard's sin

ed for the east side and cheer and

success but the mill team ran afoul
of one of Fuller's dray rigs and both
teams went down in a promiscuous
pile. Strange to say neither team
was hurt. The neckyoke and the pole
on the Fuller rig we're broken but
otherwise no damage was done other
than a slight scratch on the neck of
one of the horses.

The hope of securing trains three

glimmering. As soon as the Aneta
extension is completed, they will run
via Breckenridge, crossing the North
ern Pacific at Casselton, .Aneta and

ness for good other than what comes
through Grand Forks.
This morning Superintendent Nich
olson of the Dakota division left for
Devils Lake, where he will spend
some time superintending the exten
sion of the yards at that point. Two
miles more of trackage will be built
not only to acommodate the material
for the big bridge across Devils Lake
which is arriving, but to accommodate
the traffic which will be much heavier
at that point.
The cut-off will lessen the distance
from St. Paul to the coast materially
and all fast freights and trains three
and four will go that way. It will
mean an hour or two saved in mail
service and as much or more in
through freight service.
MANY LEAKS
ARE FOUND
Supt. Allard and His Assistants Find
Many Cases of Where the Current
Goes Into the Ground and Is Wasted
—Trees Are the Cause.
The main trouble and drawback to
the electric light plant of East Grand
Forks has been located by Supt. Al
lard and his assistants on First, Sec
ond, Third and Fourth streets. The
causes of the trouble are trees which
have their branches growing into the
bare wires. The current strikes the
trees and the current naturally takes
the easiest course, which is to the
ground, is thus wasted and the city
loses the value of the power.
The trouble is being eradicated by
cutting off the branches which are the
cause and the city will be many dol
lars ahead as a result. In some cases
the branches are completely burned
through by the current, and from this
It can be seen what an enormous
amount of power his been wasted i.i
the past year or two. The removing
of this obstacle will help materially
the plan of furnishing all the power
wanted by the residents and citizens.
The new voltmeter and antmeter
which will be be installed in the near
future will help materially in locating
such leaks and wastes. The voltmeter,
will show the voltage of the current
which is being wasted by going into
the ground and the antmeter will show
the amount of the current. The me
ters will pay for themselves in a very
short time if they can locate the large
leak which is thought to be in close
proximity to the plant.

Skinner, us a result of the wholesale
raid he made in Portal on the preced-:

Nehemiah Davis of the county court
yesterday afternoon. They were Jack

"velvet." promptly paid their fines and
costs and were immediately released'
and took the first Soo train for Portal,
where they reside.

A BRIGHT FUTURE.
Visiting Bunker Believes Minot Bound
to Be Great City.
Among the prominent bankers from
the eastern part of the state in the
city recently was Geo. H. Phelps, the
cashier of the Commercial bank of
Fargo. Mr. Phelps is vice-president
of the Farmers' State bank of Upliam,'
of which Mr. Silas Wright Bond of
Minot is president and W. S. Young of
Upham, cashier. In a ninterview with
Mr. Phelps, who is thoroughly con
versant with things and affairs in this
part of North Dakota, he spoke as fol
lows:
"It was only last summer that I was
ip your city. From the growth of
Minot in these few months I can pro
phesy wonderful things for you in the
next few years. This and environing
countries constitute the coming coun
try of Uncle Sam's domain. You
have unlimited possibilities. Geo
graphically one locality in ev,ery given
portion of the country is bound to be
the center of trade, learning and popu
lation. Minot is the center for this
section. The railroad facilities and
the general lay of the country make
Minot the logical destributing point
for a very large area.
"Speaking of the banking business
in the Eighth judicial district, the
bankers of this district are a bright,
keen, active, energetic and progressive
lot of fellows and will certainly see
that the banking fraternity set a pace
for other lines of business to follow."
SHORT ALL AROUND.
Demented Dwarf Short of Cash and
Brains Taken Into Custody.
A man giving his name as John
Mills and claiming Cincinnati, Ohio, hs
his home and a printer as his occupa
tion, boarded the Oriental Limited in
Seattle Tuesday. He had a ticket for
St. Paul. Shortly after the train pull
ed out of Seattle he gave evidence of
being either a drug fiend or mentally
deranged. At first his actions did not
attract much attention, but when
the train got into the eastern part of
Montana it became necessary for one
of the trainmen to be assigned to
watch the man so peculiar and obnox
ious to the passengers did he become.
Mills, who is a dwarf, was short of
money and had had nothing to eat
since the time he left Seattle and he
was not warmly clothed. In view of
all ot these facts the conductor of the
train deemed It best to telegraph ahead
to Minot for police assistance. When
the train pulled into this city Wednes
day night it was met by Officers Chas.
