Sioux City, Iowa. Oct. There is an inter-
esting story back OF the decision OF the United
States Supreme Court not TO grant a rehear-
ing in the case OF South Dakota against North
Carolina. North Carolina. Ike other Southern
States. soon after the war issued great amounts
Of bonds 10 build railroads. and later repudlated
them. As a state cannot be sued by an indiVid-
ual. the bondholCers stood to lose everything.
After many years ex-senator Pettigrew had his
attention attracted to the situation and secured.
II is said a highly remunerative contract for n
commission if he could collect these bonds. His
plan was simple one State can sue another
Tnder his plan * is said. $1,000 OF the bonds
were given 10 South Dakota, and South Dakota
sued North Carolina on them. The suit was
decided I'm favor OF South Dakota covering prin-
ciual and interest Of the bonds. amounting to
q bout S22 600 1t Is supposed that Mr. Pettigrew
now proposes to secure standing in court Tor
private boudholders by some plan Of interven-
ton and thus collect their claims against North
Carolina. 1t is said that he has secured con
tracts for collecting several million dollars Of
this kind OF claims in various Southern States.
