The state supreme court recently
rendered two decisions of interest to
our readers, brief mention of which
was made some time ago. One was an
action brought by John Allibone,
county treasurer OF Lincoln, against
A. }. Ames and his sureties for the col
lection Of So. 5000. 1t seems Allibone
kept "a deposit with the BeresfOrd bank
which Ames was conducting at the
time. AS security he was furnished a
bond by Ames, and it vas on this bond
that Allihone brought suit. The SUI
preme court holds the bond good and
atfirms the judgment against the plain

b. f. Knapp and wife of the Leader
who have been spending the past four
weeks with relatives and friends
throughout Iowa and South Dakota.
returned last Saturday. Mr.. Knapp
reports large crops throughout North
western Iowa and parts OF South DakO-
TIA but the prices are very low and times
harder than they have been for years.
Elevator men are only contracting oats
at 6 cents per bushel and don't care

their property cost them there would
be fully 1900 people here from Iowa
and South Dakota this fall" was his re-
mark. Fitzgerald Leader.
In the case of Wood VS.. Steinau. re-
Gently decided by the supreme court,
Judge Fuller rendered the decision. In
it he recites ''under no theory OF the
case was Mrs. Wood entitled to more
than nominal damages unless the &C
tual cash value of the property exceed
ed the amount of her indebtedness to
Steinau, and as that was a material is
sue, concerning which the evidence
was conflicting, it was a p%rejudicial err
ror to instruct the jury that an amount
materially less than the sum claimed
bv Steinau was conceded to be all that
the jury would have a right to de-
duct for the benefit of Mrs. Wood from
the actual cash value OF the property at
the time of the alleged conversion"
In consequence of the instruction the
caurt holds that the judgment is re-
versed and that a e trial be ordered.
So it is more than probable that the
WOod-Steinau ease will be again fought
out before "A jury.
