Pawnbrokers in this city will.not be
very anxious to buy stolen goods during
the administration of Mayor Eustis. His
honor has issued orders that the owners
of stolen property can recover it from
pawn shops without paying any money
for it's return. Last Thursday stolen
coat was found in the pawnshep at los
Washington avenue north. Inspector
Needham sent written order to let the
owner have the garment The pawn
broker fatty refused to do 80. The city
attorney sent similar order, which met
a like fate. Inspector Lawrence then
wrote short, pointed note, stating that
to avoid trouble the coat must be deliv-

ivered up. Mayor Eustis has inaugur-

The decision of Judge Hicks in the
case Of Mary L. Kent ct al against the
Northwestern Guaranty Loan company,
settles a novel complaint. The com
plainant claims that she borrowed $l,l83
from the company and had to pay
bonus which amounted to usurlous in
terest, and asked the court to declare the
whole matter null. The court holds in
the decision that the loan was negotiated
in Dakota, the note and mortgage ex-
ecuted in Minnesota and the instrumen
delivered in Dakota. Both parties were
residents Of Minnesota at the time the
loan was made and it was made payable
in Minnesota, but while the plaintiff
lived in Minnesota she represented her
self as resident of Dakota. The decision
of the court was that while the interest
was usurious under the laws of Mime
sofa yet the case would come under the
jurisdiction of Dako a, where the interest
paid was not legal, and therefore the
contract was lawful under the laws of
Dakota.
