Plaintiff Gives Reasons.
Cuvlllier & Coffin. counsel for Miss
Maddern,, appeared alone in court. Mr.,
Cuvillier, said:
AS counsel for Miss Madden I wish
to stop all action in this Ease at once
on account Of revelations made to me
concerning Mr.. Duryea. Miss Maddern
cameto,my office a short time ago and
declared positively that she would not
pressAher suit under II conditions.
II have also learned rom one of the
law firm Of Parker. Sheehan & Hatch
that action is about to be taken against
this defendant in the case Of the Gold
Cup race. This firm is counsel for the
National Turf association, which has
tax eni up the charges concerning prom
inent horsemen.
"We-fear that even If we should OBJ
tain as:verdict in this case" Mr.. Cuvil-
Tier continued. I'VE would never be able
ITO collect 1t, as we understand the turf
associations action will tie up what
property he may have. Had l known
of these facts before l would never
haverinterested myself In this case.
Miss Madden now absolutely refuses
TO go on and will not appear.
Nathaniel Cohen, Duryea's attorney,
objected to the dropping of the case,
saying >vlC "di4lCA III ~ lllNCollSdlG
conflicting statements Of Miss Maddern

Cohen took occasion to add: "And
my client is worth $4,000 300"
Judge Geigerich ordered that Miss
Madden.s name be called. She did not
respond. Then Mr.. Coffin also made
request to be allowed to withdraw all
action.
NO" said Mr.. Cohen. I'VE cannot
assent. If this case stops now it will
not bar future action, and we might
be annoyed further at any time
On Mr.. Collins declaration that no
future action would be taken Mr.. CO.
hen. counsel for Mr.. Duryea, who was
In court, apparently enjoying the way

Mr.sCohen later denied that his eli

MANY SOUTH DAKOTA
FARMERS JOIN SOCIETY
American Association Of Equity
Has Secured Large Number
Of Members.
WILL HOLD THEIR CROP
The Society Has a Membership Of
100000 Farmers, All Aligned to
Dictate Terms to Dealers in
Their Products.

Armour, S. D., March 10.-Much in
terest Is manifested in this part Of the
state in the dispatches from ~Indianap-
oils to the effect that the American So
ciety of Equity has secured a member
ship Of 200, 900 farmers and that the
members have determined not to sell
their products after March l except at
the price. minimum, agreed upon by
the officers Of the society.
Agents have zealously worked this
part Of the state for the past six
months PROSECUTING and they have met
with remarkable success. Almost ev-
cry town and village has in its iInme-
date environment q branch Of this, the
latest IN the trust busting line, Farm
crs are algntng themselves to the new
movement In great numbers and are
consequently very iubilant over the
outlook when they will be able to die
tate terms to the dealers in the staff of
life.
Conditions in the agricultural west
are are more propitious than In the east
and the western farmer either seems
more guillible than his eastern brother
or else he Is quicker to grasp the prin-
ciples underlying the movement than
he Of the east.
In the last ten years the farmers OF
the west have from the eff
fects Of the disastrous ~droughts that
destroyed their crops and where there
was n mar then with a bank account,
there are twenty with larger and bigger
bank accounts today. The farmer in
general, Is better off today than the
best OF his fellows were ten years ago
and consequently he feels his oats
and refuses to be bled any more by the
soulless corporations and to
hereafter run his w affairs and that
Of the consumer.
Farmers Of this county held a rous-
Ing meeting in the court house yester-
day n they will meet again in a
couple of weeks to perfect the local or
ganization. The movement In this
county promises to take on the proper
lions of the farmers alliance or the
2opulist party, so popular is the move
ment.
