BE CAREFUL
How You Sign Contracts School Officers
Held Individually Responsible in
Judge Haney's Court.

A law case of considerable import to
all school, township and other officers OF
corporations, wss concluded in the Miner
county circuit court at Howard this
week. The Western Publishing house
of Chicago, through its agent, sold to
Jacob Buchanan ct al, directors OF a
school township in Miner county, q set
of anatomical charts, and the contract
was signeo by the directors as individ.
uals, though the body OF the contract
read that the sale was made to the di-
rectors of the school district. Payment
for some reason was refused and the
publishing house employed ID. d. Hol-
bridge, Esq, to sue for the amount. He
brought suit against the directors who
signed the contract, as individuals, and
after presenting the evidence asked a
verdict for plaintiff. Defendants attor-
neys, however, claimed that suit should
have been brought against the school
district and not against the individual
directors, and Judge Haney, agreeing
with them, instructed the jury to bring
in a verdict for defendants. Mr.. Hol
bridge appealed to the supreme court
and the case was remanded for a second
hearing. Defendants then amended
their nswer to show that the contract
had not been properly delivered and in
this hearing plaintiff was non-suited and
thrown out of court. He then moved
for a new trial which was granted, and
the case came up again this week for
the third time. The case has been run
ming for nearly four years. After again
putting in the evidence, Mr.. Holdridge
asked the court to instruct the jury for
plaintiff, which he did, and the defend
ants were held individually liable.
Though less than $500 to begin with,
the claim and costs now amount to
about 500. Mr.. Holdridge has quite q
number more OF these same cases in
Miner county and he naturally feels
quite elated over his long fought victory.
The point we wish to emphasize, how
ever, is the care all officers should exer-
else in the signing of corporate docu-
ments. They should invariably sign,
first, the name OF the corporation by
them MS officers of such corporation, and
not this until ordered by a regular Of
fetal meeting of their board. These
names were dou btless secured by the
agent going around to the officers indi-
vidually, without the sanction of a for
NAL meeting.

THE SOUTH DAKOTA STATE FAIR
For 1893 Will be Held at Aberdeen
Sept. HIS.

An attractive speed program has
been arranged, and premiums ag-
gregating $4,000 will be offered for
agricultural and stock exhibits. As
this is Worlds Fair year, more
people will be on the o and at
tend than ever before.
AS this association is organized
for the express purpose Of benefit
ing the agricultural class, we are
DESTROYS of having every farmer of
the state reap the benefit which this
meeting affords. He should COM
mence ut once to get his exhibit
ready for the fair, for this promises
to be all opportune year to bring
his best exhibits to the front.
The gram palace, which is now
all assured fact, will he in full ope-
ration during the time of the hold
ing OF the state lair AT Aberdeen,
and we calculate that this, in con-
nection with the agricultural, mine
raj and stock display at the fair,
will give u eastern cousins the
best opportunity they have ever had
OF passing upon the productiveness
OF the Dakotas.
A large premium Is offered for
the best county exhibit, and we
hope to see n large number of COM
petitors for this prize. All COM
munieations will receive prompt
attention.
