Thursday morning after hastening to his work just as the whistle blew at the M. & R. shops J. C. Brace remarked to a companion as to the severe cold, also that the lecture of the previous evening was the best he ever heard, and on turning to go to his bench fell over dead. The sharp air was noticed the day before to have affected his breathing seriously, and it is supposed his hastening to work caused over action of the heart! Funeral service was held over} the re- mains by Rev. Orrock at the Metho- dist church Friday afternoon, at- tended by many of the family’s friends. The remains, accompanied by Mrs. Brace were shipped Satur- day morning to Negaunee, Mich., for burial. The family has the sympathy of the entire community.

Prior to hearing of arguments, it 3 was agreed that the! hearing tmvolved the constitutionality of the law and | did not have amy bearing on any other phrase of the suits. The principal contention of the at- torneys for the roads was based on ithese grounds. That the state fire warden law of 1909 violates the provisions of the state constitution, | in that no act shall cover more than one subject whicch subject shall be expressed in its title. That the Jaw iis invalid, uncertain and indefinite’ im its provisions and terms as a penal statute, because acts attempted to be made crimin- al are not defined with sufficient definiteness. That the law violates the 14th amendment of the constitution of the United States, im that it takes away property without due proce$s_ of law, not being a reasonable exercise of the police powers of the state. And in the case against the Crook- ston Lumber company, that company’ road is not a common carrier, and ‘thence the law is class legislation in its bearimg towards the road. The counsel for the railroad com- panies claimed that the law was so indefinite, uncertain and not’ under- standable to\ a degree of being unen- forceable, and actually void for uncer- tainty. The law if enforced would require (the railway companies to have a man on every mile of their roads every hour im the year; and Judge Steele claimed, in the case of the G. N. company, which owns some 3,000 miles of tratk, the cost to that company of maintaining patrolmen in compliance with the law would entail an expenditure of some "$6,500,000. The point was made that the law required the railway patrolmen to go onto the lands of private parties and ascertain the conditions of those lands ‘with reference to a dry season and to extinguish fires on those lands —actually become a trespasser. The counsel for the companies idontended that the law was exceed- ingly uncertain in its requirements of a “dry season” and left too much to be determined by guess work, and! also that the distance to be cov- ered by the patrols in determining what constituted where sparks from a would ‘usually cause a state, con- tended that the supreme court had ruled that such a law should be very liberally construed, and that the firc warden law of 1909 was sufficiently certain and definite as to he easily construed so that the “layman” very well knew beforehand whether he was committing a crime or not, in the case of setting fires or neglect- ing to extinguish such fires. arguments that were presented. by the judges will have a far-reach- ing effect, in that if the decision is to} the effect that the law is uncon- | stitutional and invalid, and is so held by the judges, no appeal can be} taken to the supreme court by the | statie. , | | However, should the decision up-| hold the constitutionality and validity of the law, defendants may appeal to the supreme court. | WILL FURNISH TOBACCO SEED St. Anthony Park Experiment Sta- tion Will Furnish Seed to Minnesota Farmers.
