MORTGAGE SUIT DISMISSED.
Is the Second Case to Recover Money
on Property Guarantee.

Nermillion, S. d., Feb. s.-The suit
brought by r. A. Morgan against Prim
Couture to~recover $165 on mortgage
has been dismissed. The defendants
agreed to pay the amount due Morgan.
and that gentleman refused to push the
case farther. The costs of the action
We're also arranged for. Couture has
a wife and several small children de-
pending upon his work for their daily
bread, AID it was thought best to let
him off easy. This is the second suit
brought to recover money on mort
gage whehein the property put up as
guarantee had been sold or disposed Of
Both law-breakers have been dis
charged after fixing things up with the
mortgages and paying cost of action.
While such procedure may satisfy some
of the parties to the lawsuit, it does not
meet the approval of the people who
desire that justice be done rather than
let the law be violated continually
States Attorney Tilton is not to blame,
as he can Go nothing when forsaken by
those who bring suit, but the next VIC
tim that is brought to trial will not get
off so easily. The prosecution will have
to do business.
