LOOKING BACKWARD.
"REMINISCENCES OF EARLY DAYS
AT YANKEE FORK.

EDITOR MESsENGER:-I believe
it is natural for members of this
great human family of ours
growing along toward the period
of "old age" to look backward
through their "hindsight" over
the trail they have come, and
loiter in their memory over seen
es that are dimmed with age or
obscured by the cobwebs of the
past. Having occasion recently
to refer to file of the Yankee
Fork Herald, a newspaper pub
lished at Bonanza, nearly quar-
ter OF a century ago, | see some
quaint things that might do to
reprint as an illustration of how
we got along those days when
there was veritable 'boom" all
over this section of then Lemhi
county. AT the time referred to
your correspondent was the ed
itor-in-ch chief, reporter, pressman
and general all-around man of
the Herald, about the same as
ye MESSENGER man is in his Off
CO today while my help-meet

column, and was general Office
"swamper." AS New Years is
now at hand this Watch Meet
ing" of by-gone days will give an
idea of how we behaved on oc-
casions of this kind, when the
glories of this new mining field
loomed up brilliantly in the
aurora borealis of our fondest
hopes

has not recovered the same INC
showing is made in the record as
to whether it has or mott the
fault is not that of appellant.
The respondent county could
reach such funds; the appellant
could not.
Touching the question that
appellant could have demanded
cash of said treasurer in pay
ment of said warrants we do not
see how the respondent county
was injured in that regard. AS
between the creditor of the coun-
ty and the county and county
treasurer is the agent of the lat
ter, and must in law be held re-
spoinsible to the creditor for the
acts of its agent.
"The board of county commits
sioners have supervision and
control over the Office of county
treasurer and should see, as it is
their duty to do, that the public
moneys of the county applicable
to the payment of its debts
should be paid thereon and not
boarded in banking institutions
to be used for private purposes. +"
The other case is that of Lawr-
ence Greene VS.. Custer county.
1t is very similar to the Chamb-
ers case. Greene held a number
of checks and these were issued
to him in time to have been col
lected, but were not presented
before the failure. In deciding
the case the supreme court re-
cites that the county recovered
a large portion of the money
that it had on deposit in the
bank that failed. 1t holds that
the money should not have been
in the bank on general deposit,
the treasurer being the agent of
the county, and the county being
therefore, responsible for his
acts. Whatever loss is sustained
through his acts should be borne
by the county and not by the
private individuals holding such
checks. The opinion says in
part:
1.-The action of the county
treasurer in depositing moneys
in said bank, unless he did so
upon special deposit, was con-
trary to the criminal statutes of
this state. The county treasur-
er acts under the general super
vision of the board of county
commissioners to see that the
public moneys of their counties
are not deposited in banks, or
used for private purposes, other
wise than upon special deposit
for safe keeping.
while it is true that the APP
pellant might have presented
said checks to the said bank be-
fore its failure, yet under the
facts we do not think he should
bear the loss so far as his claim
is concerned, especially in view
of the fact that the county has
received large proportion of
its money from said insolvent
bank, but think that under. the
of equity and justice
that such loss should be borne
by the public"
These were test cases and sew
erel other cases will be settled
in accordance with these decis-
ions, Custer county being held
liable for several thousand dol
lars.

CUSTER co. CHECKS.

NC DOlSS ioldJ0SHldn OIL the
18th inst. says
The Supreme Court yesterday
handed down two opinions by
Chief Justice Quarles in what are
known as the Custer county
check cases. The views of the
court expressed in a number of
cases growing out of the Bunting
bank failure with respect to de-
post of public funds in banks on
general account are very forcib-
ly reiterated in these opinions.
In both cases the judgments of
the lower court in favor of the
county are reversed.
One case is that of J. j. Cham
bers VS.. Custer county. La this
case the treasurer paid warrants
held by the plaintiff by issuing
his checks on the Bunting bank.
One check for $245.06 was sent
to appellant in Ohio, being re-
ceived February 2, 1897. Anoth-
er check for 1857. so was received
in Ohio on the 21st of October,
1897. On February Is of that
year the bank failed. Neither
check was paid and proceedings
were instituted to recover the
amount from the county. The
case was decided for the defense.
The point relied upon by the de-
Tense was that the plaintiff had
not exercised due diligence in
presenting the checks. The
opinion of the supreme court
says in part
I'm regard to the first check,
it will be seen that from the End
day of February, the time that
appellants agent received same,
until said bank closed its doors
and failed to do business there
was intervening 10 days. The
court found as a fact that by the
usual course of mail it required
four days to transmit said check
from Moultrie, Ohio, to Black
foot, Idaho. If Immediately
mailed upon receipt of same by
appellants agent at Moultrie,
Ohio, on the End day of Febru-
airy, it should have reached |
Blackfoot on the 9th day of Feb
ruary, but in addition to the
reasonable time the statue allows
10 days, and from the 9th to the
10Th day of February is only 9
days, hence under this statute
we are not authorized to hold
tnaG tue appellant is guilty of
negligence in not presenting said
check at said bank for payment
prior to the failure of said bank.
''As to the second check, the
facts show that it was drawn and
mailed to appellants agent upon
the day that said bank failed and
closed its doors, hence no ques-
ton of negligence in not present
ing said check is chargeable to
Under the circumstances we
are of the opinion that said
checks did not pay said indebt-
edness evidenced by said war
rants. AS this court has held
said funds of said county in said
bank was a trust fund belonging
to said county and recoverable
by the county, and if said county

connection with this statement it Is
generally held by the survivors OF
1885 that the locusts not only dis
appeared much earlier that year
than any other period, but that
they vanished suddenly. The sud.
denness and prematureness OF their
disappearance became theme of
general comment and guessing.
Don Platt, Western writer.

on the subject, which appeared
first in the Washington Capital ant
were extensively copied by other
papers. In the little poem he gave
his guess at the cause Of the phe.
,nomenal but welcome disappear
ance OF the locusts.
As it contains 0about the only
compliment paid 10 the sparrowsin
the past 20 years, as it may offer
the consolation of hope that tine mir
acle may be repeated this year to
the satisfaction Of all our agricult.
ural class, the poem follows:
"A low locust sat in high locust
tree
And he sang to his mate, Zee! Zee!
Zee! Zee!
It's many year since I've seen the
bright sun;
It's many year since I've had any
fun;
And, my dear, if I don't paint every
thing red
1t will be Zee Zee. don't you see,
Zee Zee!
Because every green twig in the
country is dead
But a sparrow sat up in that same
locust tree
And much oftener cussed than the
locust was he;
And he said to his mate, 'There's a
bug over there,
What morsel he'll make for nice
loving pair;
Just wait here minute and III take
the boy in.
Now don't slip, chip, chip! Amt he
flip, chip, chip!
And when they were through there
was left but the skin" ,-.-
