OF fierre, has been for some time wrestling
with the complications in the Deutsch
bankruptcy application from Huron.
DeutSch secured several thousand dollars
worth of goods from eastern firms under
circumstance in which false pretense is
charged by most of the firms whOfurnisied
the goods. Within a few days after secure
ing the goods he filed his application in
bankruptcy, and showed up only a small
portion of the stock which lie had secured
but a short time before. The business
winch he was conducting was managed by
himself and Goldstein, a clerk, II they
allege that they kept no books, simply de-
pending on their bank boob to know
Where they were at. One of thee creditors
claimed their order had been rescinded
and the goods semitic Deutsch recalled, and
demanded Il return of the same oil the
ground OF this act, and alleged false pre-
tense in securing the order. The referee
decided against their right to do this. and
III his ruling was sustained by Judge Gar
land. In another case from Highmore be-
fore Referee Hughes the point has been
raised whether the bankruptcy act has not,
by implication. repealed the act which eX-
empts a timber culture entry from any
debts incurred prior to securing title from
the government. The bankruptcy law ale
lows the exemptions granted under the
state laws, and the llighmore bankrupt
claims a timber culture entry in his eXemp-
tions, in addition to tho state exemptions.

these claims $4,000 We're paid up to The

AT q recent meeting of the board of
county commissioners of Brule County, a
resolution was adopted authorizing Com
missioner Louis Richards to appear before
the state equalization board to protest
against, and prevent, if possible, a repeti-
ton of the custom that has for several
years prevailed of raising the valuation of
real estate from 10 to 100 per cent. by the
state board. Many instances have been
cited in Brule County where land has thus
been assessed for fully 25 per cent. more
than it could be sold for, and the complaint
has become SO emphatic that it is likely
that legal steps will be resorted to unless a
more equitable assessment can be secured.
The county commissioners declare that
they propose to make a vigorous fight over
the matter if it becomes necessary.
