    "ELLEN BRANDIN v. JASPER SWENSON.\nJune 19, 1925.\nNo 24,681.\n8. H. Écfanqn, for appellant.\nJohn Heitmarm, for respondent.\nReported in 204 N. W. 468.\n\nDibell, J.\nAction in St. Louis county to have the plaintiff adjudged to be the owner of an 80-acre tract of land, and, if such relief were denied, that the land be partitioned. There was judgment for a partition in specie, and the plaintiff appeals.\nThe evidence is not returned. The only question, as correctly stated by counsel for appellant, is whether the findings of fact justify the judgment; and in stating the facts we follow the findings of the trial court.\nA marriage ceremony' was performed between the plaintiff, Ellen Brandin, and the defendant, Jasper Swenson, on February 10, 1906. At that time the plaintiff had a husband living. He had deserted her 10 years before and she and the defendant supposed that he was dead. In 1920 it was ascertained that he was living; and on January 8, 1922, a judgment was entered annuling the marriage of the plaintiff and defendant.\nOn April 9, 1906, the plaintiff and the defendant purchased an 80-acre tract as tenants in common and the deed ran to both. The purchase price was paid by the plaintiff, but a part thereof the defendant had given her from his earnings subsequent to their formal marriage, and not long afterwards he gave her money exceeding his one-half of the purchase price. In 1907 the defendant moved upon the land and has since lived there and improved one forty. The plaintiff continued living in Duluth, operating a boarding house. She contributed to the improvement of the farm, and received cash and products from it. The court set off to her the west forty of the eighty, and to the defendant the east forty upon which he had made the improvements. This was done on the basis of its finding that the value of the west forty was to the value contributed by the plaintiff approximately as was the value-of the east forty to the amount contributed by the defendant. This was an equitable division. Each got one-half in area of the land. The defendant got'the forty upon which he had improved. Each got a value proportionate to contribution. The principles stated in Hunt v. Meeker County A. & L. Co. 135 Minn. 134, 160 N. W. 496, sustain the division. With the record as it is, neither the form of the pleadings nor the procedure adopted is important. No complaint is made of either.\nJudgment affirmed.",
    'STATE of Minnesota, Respondent, v. James Darrell GIBSON, Petitioner, Appellant.\nNo. C1-91-1332.\nSupreme Court of Minnesota.\nDec. 20, 1991.\nJohn M. Stuart, State Public Defender, Mark F. Anderson, Asst. State Public Defender, Minneapolis, for appellant.\nScott A. Hersey, Isanti County Atty., Cambridge, and Hubert H. Humphrey, III, Atty. Gen., St. Paul, for respondent.\n\nTOMLJANOVICH, Justice.\nIn its decision in this case the court of appeals affirmed the use of multiple concurrent sentences for two offenses that defendant contends arose from a single behavioral incident. State v. Gibson, 475 N.W.2d 896 (Minn.App.1991). We agree with defendant and therefore vacate the lesser of the two sentences pursuant to Minn.Stat. § 609.035 (1990), the so-called single-behavioral-incident statute.\nThe offenses of conviction here are criminal vehicular operation resulting in injury and felony leaving the scene of an accident, for which defendant received concurrent terms of 23 and 15 months. The first conviction is based on defendant’s involvement in a head-on collision while driving under the influence of alcohol. The second conviction is based on the fact that immediately after the accident, in which both defendant and the driver of the other vehicle were injured, defendant fled the scene on foot, went to a nearby farmhouse and called his girl friend to come and pick him up.\nMinnesota Statute § 609.035 provides in relevant part that if a person’s conduct “constitutes more than one offense under the laws of this state, the person may be punished for only one of such offenses.” The approach we have used in determining whether two nonintentional crimes or a nonintentional and an intentional crime are part of the same course of conduct is to analyze all the facts and determine whether the offenses “[arose] out of a continuing and uninterrupted course of conduct, manifesting an indivisible state of mind or coincident errors of judgment.” State v. Sailor, 257 N.W.2d 349, 352 (Minn.1977); see also State v. Johnson, 273 Minn. 394, 405, 141 N.W.2d 517, 525 (1966). When both crimes are intentional crimes we focus on factors such as time and place and whether the conduct involved was motivated by an effort to obtain but one criminal objective. State v. Johnson, supra.\nIn a series of decisions — the avoidance-of-apprehension cases — we have held that multiple sentences may not be used for two offenses if the defendant, substantially contemporaneously committed the second offense in order to avoid apprehension for the first offense. State v. Gilbertson, 323 N.W.2d 810 (Minn.1982); State v. Zuehlke, 320 N.W.2d 79 (Minn.1982); State v. Boley, 299 N.W.2d 924 (Minn.1980); Matter of Castillo, 293 N.W.2d 839 (Minn.1980); State v. White, 292 N.W.2d 16 (Minn.1980); State v. Finn, 295 Minn. 520, 203 N.W.2d 114 (1972).\nHere the defendant committed the felonious act of leaving the scene of an accident in part to avoid being apprehended for any crime committed in connection with the accident. Accordingly, we vacate the lesser of the two sentences, the 15 month concur rent sentence for leaving the scene of an accident.\nAffirmed in part, reversed in part.\n. Closely related to the avoidance-of-apprehension cases are the facilitation-of-offense cases. See State v. Naylor, 474 N.W.2d 314 (Minn.1991); State v. Beito, 332 N.W.2d 645 (Minn.1983).',

  Legal definition of "foul brood" in fraudulent bee sales	C. E. SAMPSON v. F. C. PENNEY. February 17, 1922. No. 22,564. New trial because of lack of evidence to support verdict. 1. There is evidence that, in a sale of bees, all of the elements of fraud were present, if certain representations made were proven false.

Measure of damages, direct and consequential, from fraud in sale of diseased bees. 3.

If -one through fraud procures a sale of animals afflicted with disease, the purchaser may recover for the loss of other animals of his own to Which the disease is communicated, but not for...
