8 BUCK'S BIitiiHTJiESS DESPICABLE CONDUCT ON TH? PART OF A HUSBAND IS DE y-"r NOUNCED \ .ZZyZ'-Z.Z' FROM THE SUPREME BENCH. .. _r THE PRINCIPAL ACTOR IN THE CASE CANNOT PROFIT BY " TRICKERY. i^ JUM BURNS" TRIAL; IS BEGUN. President Monfort- Testifies as to the Dealings Burns Had Willi - (he ' Bank. -. - Justice Buck, of the supreme court, handed down four decisions yester day, and in the. case of W. "f. Marvin vs. Edward H. Foster et al: he gives Thomas Foster, one of the respond-, ents, a good toaSl on account of his cruel and inhuman treatment of his wife. . Foster was formerly a resident of Duluth, and in 1873 he secured a government sit and went to Wash ington, leaving his wife in Duluth. After leaving her he never contribut ed in any way to her support, and in 1877 she obtained a divorce with a de cree awarding her the property. Im mediately after the divorce . was granted Foster married Mary Baum, of Washington. In 1891 Mrs. Foster died at Dulutb., and after her death Foster took advantage of the fact that the divorce papers had ' never been served on him in person, and con signed the interest he would have had in the estate to one W. F. Marvin, with the understanding that the latter was to bring suit to recover It and di vide even with him. The lower court decided against (Marvin and quoted specimen para graphs from pathetic letters sent to Foster by his former wife. • Judge Buck, in his decision, admits that the decree of divorce was void, but that it is now too late to take ad vantage of it, and he says further that if there is no precedent for such a de cision, the court does not hesitate to establish one; that, fortunately, there are rules in equity which come to their relief, and It is for the good of society that proceedings of this kind should be discouraged. The syllabus follows: -'■■■' William F. • Marvin, appellant, . vs. Edward H. Foster et al., respondents. .Where a married .man left his wife and home in this state in 1873, and thereafter lived in the city of Washing- j tor., without supporting her, and never j lived, with her again or returned to > this state, and she obtained a judgment of divorce against him May 30, v 1877, j upon the grounds of desertion, but! which judgment was void by reason of defective service of the summons, but of tho pendency of which action he had actual : notice .and declined -to. appear, and defend, but afterward, upon learn ing that a divorce had been granted and thereupon he married another woman, with whom he lived, and she had a child by him. Held, that J upon the subsequent de cease, of his abandoned wife jn this state he is estopped from taking ad vantage of the fact that the judgment of divorce "so rendered was void for want of proper service of -summons j arid .; he cannot • successfully assert against the heirs or devisees his former wife a right to her estate as her sur viving husband. Held, further, that the doctrine of estoppel is applied in this case upon the ground that It is one solely re lating to property rights unaffected by any consideration which give to the marrieage relation Its precise status. Order attlrmed. BUCK, J. In the matter of the application for the appointment of a receiver for Will lam H. Adamson, respondent, vs. Al van A. Melster, appellant. Upon a ne tition made to a judge of the district court for the appointment of a receiver in insolvency proceedings it did not appear that. the debtor was insolvent, nor. that he had concealed or removed or disposed of any of his property with Intent to delay or defraud his creditors. Held, that the judge was justified in refusing to make such a." appointment Order affirmed. ' BUCK.. J. Adam E. Christie, respondent, vs. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail way Company, appellant. It Is the duty of a railroad company to keep the approach to its depot and platform reasonably convenient, accessible and safe for the public rightfully passing over it, and properly and lawfully do ing business with such railroad com pany. Held, that within this rule the evi dence justified the verdict of the jury. Order affirmed. " BUCK, J. Mary B. Lennon et al., respondents, vs. James H. - White, appellant. Order denying a new trial reversed upon the. ground that the verdict was not justi fied by the evidence. BUCK, J. Heard by Supreme Court. The supreme court heard the follow ing cases yesterday: Macomb Sewer Pipe Company, re spondent, vs. M. A. Hanley, appellant Argued and submitted. In re receivership of 'the assets of E. K. Smith & Co., Thomas Reeves, appellant, vs. A. W. Hastings, respond ent. Argued and submitted. * The City of Duluth, substituted in lieu of West Duluth, respondent, vs. P. McDonnell, appellant Argued and submitted. ZZ yZiyZf^ '■■'■'Z BURNS- 1 TRIAL BEGUN. President Monfort' Testifies as to the Assignment." At . the opening of court yesterday jnorning Judge Egan overruled the motion of Attorney Woodruff in the Burns case, arid the taking of testi mony proceeded.-' .'.-''-y y'-ff- ■ >■•'. D. A. Monfort, the president of the bank, was the first witness, "and his examination lasted all forenoon. Mr. Monfort Identified the paper given by Burns In assignment of the alleged claim against the county, and he said it was on the strength' of this paper and the conversation had with Burns at the time that the loan was made. After the paper became due, witness made some' inquiries of different offi cials regarding the matter, but none of them knew of any money due the St. Paul Herald from the county. * On cross-examination witness said the bank had frequently discounted claims against the county for Burns, the aggregrate being something like 310,000. Burns had a "life j Insurance policy made out arid assigned to the bank as security In case of his death..' i Following is a copy of the paper given by Burns to the bank in assignment of the alleged claim: St. rani, Minn., April 2.

Every preparation has been \ com- . pleted for the inauguration ■ next Sun day of the preliminary outdoor season of amusements ; at Lake Como. ■ An extra force of men has been employed throughout the entire week, and things have been rushed, at a 'high,,, rate of speed. It is now'< believed by the St. Paul Street Railway, company and others who have visited "that beautiful spot during the past few days, . that ample accommodaions have been made in every respect for the great throngs of pleasure, seekers j are expected to visit Como during the warm months. From all indications a most animated scene will be presented about the shores of Como next Sunday- and sev eral Sundays following until the time has arrived for an entertainment of some nature to be presented there be ginning sometime in June every after noon and evening. A very large list of high-class amusements have been contracted for and will positively be seen at the lake as previously an nounced. The attraction that has been selected as the primary magnet of* the coming season, is the Third- United States Infantry band ;of Fort-. Snelling, which will give two specially prepared programmes next Sunday • afternoon and evening. As- in the past' this ex cellent musical organization ;_ will :be under the leadership of Prof. Charles R. Graves, of Fort ' Snelling. Extra street car service will .be in practice and - everything will be done to make the opening of the summer; season at Como an auspicious one: " T " ! - '■■ & '•'■'■■' ■ MOORHEAD IS WIDE-AWAKE. City Officials Out on a Tour of Ob servation. .> . A delegation of Moorhead city offi cials were in St. Paul yesterday, headed by Mayor A. G. Lewis. In the party were Aid. Kiefer and Finstan, City Recorder T. J. Lewis and 'City En gineer Danbar. " Their mission was to examine into the workings. of the dif ferent electric lighting plants of . St. Paul, and the major part of the day was spent in this way. Recently., the city of Moorheadjvoted $70,000 in bonds for ths purpose of constructing an electric lighting . plant, extending Z its water works and sewerage system,"and paving 1 some of the principal streets. Ths proposed electric plant will be suf ficient to furnish the entire city with light. There will ■be fifty arc j lights and 2,000 incandescent, and the system used will be trie Westlnghouse. • One of the objects of the visit to this city yes | terday was to negotiate for a 250-horse i power engine. It is very likely the Twin City Corliss Engine company will supply this piece- of machinery. The waterworks system of Moorhead, when the contemplated improvements are made, will be one of the most perfect in the Northwest. There be about seven miles "of mains. The Bewerage system will extend, about one mile and a half, ; and -trie^ sewers ' will be from two to four feet in diameter, -'lt is estimated by Mayor Lewis that j the paving contemplated will .require an expense of $30,000. ,; v . Mayor Lewis says that times are^ very good In Moorhead and .trie. sur rounding country. The : outlook for crops was never brighter, and there is a very satisfactory feeling of hops : fulness among all classes .of ..people. The mayor and his party went. to Min neapolis last night, and today some time will return to Moorhead. :'. NEGLECTED CHILDREN. : : They Are Arrested . and -Held for ■Zyyz. . Petty Thieving;.
