the United States Live Stock Association

a mythical corporation, the defendant
representing to Mr.. Knapp that he was
secretary Of such Association aud had
$4,000 in cash invested therein. Mr..
Knapp endorsed the draft and Clark
thereby was enable to get the same cash
ed at the Merchants Bank. The draft
was sent to Mankato and returned pro-
tested, the officers protesting making a
certificate that no such company was in
existence. A Z. Chamberlain of Huron
is defending Mr.. Clark, and moved to
quash the indictment, but the court over
ruled the notion. As both the state
and the defense allowed the trial to re-
n ain to the last day Of court, the defen.
