When the mother made application for letters of guardianship in Minnesota the minor was not within the State, nor in her constructive possession; at that time the child was actually in possession of another guardian appointed by a court of another State. It does not appear just how she could satisfy the Minnesota court that the minor was within its jurisdiction, but that is a question that need not be inquired into for the purposes of this opinion. But the contention of this appellant that the minor was in the constructive possession of the mother, while it was in the actual possession of a regularly appointed guardian in another State is wholly untenable, because the constructive possession ended as soon as the court gave actual possession to Hall, and this contention need not be further considered.
