al. Mr.. Keith appears for the defend
ents and Robert Gamble, Esq, of Yank-
ton. for the plaintiffs. However, Mr..
Gamble has not yet arrived, but is ex-
pected by the $50 freight. The case
originates from an application by Cath
crime Mcbride to Albert Waddell for a
loan on her farm. The usual form Of
application, mortgage, etc., was signed
by Catherine Mcbride and the mortgage
was made a matter of record by
Dillwyn Parrish ct al. who allege they
sent the money to Waddell to pay over
to Mcbride. Dillwyn Parrish ct al, now
eek to foreclose the mortgage obtained
by them through Waddell on the Nc
Bride premises, and the latter alleges
that she never received money from
Waddell nor the return of the papers
signed by her. The point at issue is for
whom was Waddell acting agent in the
matter, az d%efalcation on his part is
apparent.
