o'clock. At that time the members
fled in the court room and announced
that it was impossible to reach an
agreement. Juusc Smith discharged
them from the case. 1t was hoped
that this Jury would settle the case,
for it is estimated that it costs the
county about 800 each time to Try
it. The present jury wanted to
effect il compromise verdict.

TOlin Eccpcr against Pat CramptOn
was settled by the jury bringing in
4 verdict for the plainlltf for the

MUST HAVE AN .ARMORY
Co. d. is Short of a Place to Drill
and Keep the Announcements
of War.

Captain Thos. Briggs is trying to
find a way in which to meet the con
tingency of securing an armory for
the national guard. AT the present
time the arms are stacked in d room
which is in no way ut for the pur-
pose. There is a possibility that if
an armory is not provided that the
company is liable to be mustered out
Of the service. According to the
ideas Of Adjutant General Conklin
the legislature did not provide for
renting an armory entirely by the
state. that is, an excessive sum
would not be granted. The state is
willing to pay a portion Of the rent,
and as soon as the captain can secure
a room for an armory he will submit
the rent proposition to the adujtant
general who will inform the captain
b ow much the state will stand for
rent. This matter should be looked
in to and arrangements made to cover
any possibility of the company being
lost to Mitchell.
At the present time the company
iss.practically full of men and during
the summer they will be drilled
thoroughly and will soon be a credit
to the city.

BACH DOING GOOD WORK
Is Placing School Fund Money in
Municipal BOnds-Increasing
Interest Fund.

Interest Fund.
Pierre special Land Commissions
er Bach has not done his hustling to
get out the school fund in vain, and
with good cause feels somewhat
elared over securing school bonds
amounting in total to 1913, 900 for the
fund.
Lead City took $40 900; Dead
wood, 1874, 900: Hot Springs, SIG, 900,
and Groton, $S, 900, all On new issues
of school bonds. These loans alone
mean practically SIS, 600 per year to
the school income fund. and it also
means that the towns which take
these loans will be paying interest to
the school fund itself instead Of a
private corporation. Besides these
loans negotiations are under way
which will take up about one hun
dred thousand dollars more Of the
fund in the way Of new school aud
municipal bonds, and %refunding
bonds which are to take the place of
bonds bearing a higher rate of
interest. Commissioner Bach will
soon have the surplus which has
been troubling the department sew
eral years, down to a point where it
will not be a large sun which the
state is compelled to carry without
earning anything for the schools.
Besides the increased interest
which these new loans will bring to
the fund, the department has up to
the present date made 500 more leases
than were made for the whole Of last
year, the greater part Of. this in
crease being on the west side of the
river. The remittance en- these
leases will also go into the income
fund and help swell the cash for the
schools.

A VERDICT FOR PRESCOTT
Jury Brought in a Verdict for $3.50
for Prescott in His Damage
Suit Against Hidweii.

Just before six O., lock Saturday
evening the damage suit OF r. ID.
Prescott against 7. a.. Bidwell came
to a close. The evidence was all in
by $3.50 and the rest Of the afternoon
was consumed by the addresses Of the
attorneys, McsSrs. Dillon for The de-
PENDANT and Preston for the plaintiff.
Judge Smiths charge to the jury
was an exhaustive one, going into
every detail Of the case in a
thorough manner. 1t took him as
minutes to deliver the. charge. The
general supposition was that it
would take the jury some time TO
reach an agreement. if at all. The
Jury was Informed by the court that
it they reached an agreement before
Sunday they could return it sealed.
Within thirty minutes afterward the
Jury had agreed on a verdict, and as
it was early in the evening Judge
Smith called all interested into court
and the verdict vas opened. 1t gave
the plaintiff, Mr.. Prescott, a judg-
ment Of 1850 against Mr.. Bidwell.
The suit was brought for So, 500,
but Mr.. Preston in his statement to
the jury said that they would be
satisfied if they received a thousand
dollars.
Mr.. Bidwell stated to The Republi-
can that the case would be carried
to the supreme court on the law
proposition. He said that the court
was against him on the legal phase
OF the case and he thought they had
IL good chance to win in the supreme
coult.
The case arose out Of the dissolu-
zion Of the partnership that existed
between the plaintiff and defendant
IN which it is purported that after
che dissolution a contract mad been
signed, each to refrain from engaging
in the others business, that Mr..
Biwdell was not to have anything
that Mr.. Prescott was not to interest
himself in the real estate or loan
business. Mr.. Prescott introduced
evidence tending to show that Mr..
Bidwell has prepared a set of alb
Stract books and was continually
following it. Mr.. Ridwell sought to
enter a counter claim and to main
tain in his evidence and by witness
es that Mr.. Prescott had engaged in
the real estate business. BY this the
defense sought to show that the ON
tract had been abrogated on both
sides.
Monday when court resumed
the case of j. S. Serveson VS.. I. W..
seaman was taken up. Preston &
Hannett appear for the plaintiff and
a. e. Hitchcock for the defendant.
MI. Serveson brings suit to recover
about 81, 3l3 as his commission in
selling some land for Mr.. Seaman.
4 jury was secured at once and
shortly after the noon hour the plain
