interesting Decision.
pecial to Times.Republican.

Des Moines, Oct. s.-The supreme
court has decided in a case from Potta-
wattamie county tried before Judge w.
r. Green that a forged check may still
be used in evidence to show that 1t Is
a forgery and presented for fraudulent
purposes even tho 1t is not properly
stamped az required by the federal
statute. In this case the defendant
had placed a proprietary instead Of a
revenue stamp on the forged check.
For this reason the lower court threw
1t out as evidence and the defendant
was discharged. The supreme court
holds that the federal statute prohibit
ing. the use of unstamped checks as
evidence was not intended to apply to
forged checks and that in any event
this check was admissa BILE because un-
dera section OF the federal statute 1t is
allowa BILE to admit as evidence check
which has been stamped with the wrong
kind of stamp Of the same value.

The Onawa I. Ditch t,a.e.

Sioux City. Oct. S.--The decision rem
1dered in the district court Of Onawa
against Mitchell Vincent in his fight for
the Woodbury. MoHona ditch contract is
of interest in Sioux City, both because Of
the fact that Vincent is so We'll known
here and because he has the contract for
constructing that part Of the ditch
which Lies in Woodbury. county.
Vincent took exception to the action of
the Monona county board Of supervis-
org in awarding the contract for that
part of the ditch which will lie in Mo-
mona county to the Canal Construction
Company, of Chicago. He held that his
bids on certain sections OF the ditch were
ilesr than those of the Chicago company,
but the board of supervisors awarded
the contract to the Chicago company on
the ground that its bid was the lowest
in the aggregate. Vincent ATTEMPTED to
enjoin the county auditor of Monona
county from awarding the contract in
accordance with the Instructions OF the
board OF supervisors, but the Judge de-
