Endorsed George M. Young of Valley City

otathe members were absent, and two Of

asserting they favored Thomas Baker, Jr.,
of Fargo, for the position. Mr.. Baker is
enthusiastic over the outlook and is
daily receiving promises of support. His
friends insist there is no doubt about
his election.
The supreme court decided against
Judge Pollock and the city of Fargo in the
interest and penalty case. Some time ago
the city brought an action against the
county to recover interest and penalty
from the county on old taxes. The collec-
ton of the taxes was in the hands of the
county officials, who retained all the pen
alties and interest and merely turned over
original sums to the city. Judge Pollock
held that the city and the county officials
appealed to the supreme court, which re-
versed the lower court.
Some years ago w. J. Hawk of Buffalo

overlooked these notes in the schedule
Still later he made a winning in an
option deal handled by the company and
when he applied for his winnings the
grain people refused to turn them over,
holding the amount as an offset to the
notes Hawk gave them. The case went
through the courts and the company final
ly won.
