Circuit Court.

ou COuII mere J. ueSudy.
The case Of the aged widow
Catherine Dring, to recover
money from ST. Lawrence
township, was disposed
of. The amount sued for
was $500 and she got $4,000
The Judge held in the case
that nothing could be col
ected where a town had eX-
ceeded its indebtness of 5
per cent Of the assessed val
uation of it's property. In
this case it was found that
a part of the Drlng indebt-
edness was legally made,
and only on that did the
aged woman collect. At
one time while the figuring
and pickering over the old
st. Lawrence books were
going on to ascertain ii any
part of the amount was le-
gal, according to the judges
decision, and it was sho wn
that only 1926 was due the
woman, the jury In the box
showed their Indignation
by entering into a spirited
debate. They were una
minus for giving the full
amount. At times the op-
posing lawyers, jnrymen
and Judge were discussing
the case at the same time.
Later when the more cor
rect figuring showed that
$4,000 might be collected for
the old lady, calm reigned
and things went along
smoothly. This case was
for moneyhad and received,
the former case on the
bonds having been decided
against the old lady.
Though so years old the
plaintiff in this case was in
court and gave her testi-
mony, coming in more tlan
twenty miles over the
prairies.
This decision by Judge
Boucher is directly opposite
to that of Judge Garland In
the United States court at
Pierre last June when he
decided that st. Lawrence
township must pay $3OOO
bonds sued on and which
were issued after the Drlng
bonds and were less legal so
far as the 5 per cent prohl-
bition was concerned.
1t was only by the keen
foresight and persistent ef-
forts against Attorneys
Gardner and Pusey and the
judges decision that the
a Mount of $4,000 was fig-
ured out for the plaintiff by
her attorney, j. H. Cole.

would be surprising the
number of old settlers that

We met another old set

question, how is everything?
He also answered that it
was gloomy. Why he says,
