Supreme Court of Minnesota

Decided January 11, 1889PublishedCited by 44 opinions

Plaintiff brought this action in the district court for Winona county, to recover possession of a school-house and site. The action was submitted, upon stipulated facts, before Start, J., without a jury, and judgment ordered for defendant. From this judgment the plaintiff appeals.

1Opinion of the CourtMitchell, J.

The defendant, a duly-organized public school-district, acquired and held for school purposes a school-house and site. In February, 1887, an act was passed entitled “An act to amend the charter of the city of Winona,” (Sp. Laws 1887, c. 5,) which extended the limits of the city so as to include a part of the defendant district, embracing the school-house in question. This act contained no express provision changing the limits of the school-district, and none as to the disposition of this school property. The question now is to which — plaintiff or defendant — does the school-house belong?
