MRS. DRING COLLECTS.
Nlnety-Year-old Plaintiff in Bond Suit
Gets Judument,

Ninety-Year-Cld Plaintiff in Bond Suit
Gets Judgment.
The suit of the aged widow, Gather.
inc Dring, to recover money from st.
Lawrence township. was disposed Of
at Miller. The amount sued for was
$500 and she got 5 $4,000.
The judge held in the cas that moth.
ing could be collected where a town
had exceeded it's Indebtedness of S per
cent of the assessed valuation OF its
property. In this case it was found
that a part of the bring Indebtedness
was legally made, and only on that did
the aged woman collect. At one time
while he figuring and pickering over
the old st. Lawrence books was going
on to ascertain If any part of the
amoun sued for was legal, according
to the judges decision, it was shown
that only 1925 was due the woman
The jury in the box showed their in
dignation by entering into a spirited
debate. They were unanimous for Civ
ing the full amount. At times the op-
posing lawyers, jurymen and judge
were discussing the case at the same
time. Later when the more correct
figuring showed that $4.ce0 might be
collected for the woman, calm reigned
and things went along smoothly. This
case was for money had and received,
the former case on the bonds having
been decided against the old lady.
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 49,
900 bonds sued On and which were il.
sued after the bring bonds.
Though ninety years old the plain.
tiff in this case was in court and gave
her testimony, coming in more than
twenty miles over the prairies.

Injunction Case.

Point Raised by Road in Sioux Falls
Injunction Case.
Arguments in the injunction proceed
ings instituted by Jewett Bios. & Jew
EFT in behalf Of the Sioux Falls Jobbers
and Shippers association to prevent
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railroad company from putting into
effect new freight rates from Chicago
and other Lake Michigan points which
to Sioux Falls would be 104 per cent
of the rate to Sioux City, we're con-
Guided before Judge Garland of the
United States court in Sioux Falls,
and the Judge took the case under ad-
visement.
Attorneys for the railroad
argued In substance hat the federal
court was without jurisdiction and
could not grant the desired Injunction
until after the interstate commerce
commission had decided a case involv-
ing the same rate which now is pend.
ing before that body.
The question raised as to the juris-
diction of the federal court In such
cases in advance of action by the inter
state commerce commission Is of the
utmost Importance, and it is thought
that no matter how Judge Garland de-
cides the case it will be appealed in
order to get a decision from the high
est court in the land.

uty who had come to serve a peace
bond on him. Jens Loft entered his
home Saturday afternoon, shot his
wife in the head with a shotgun and
made his escape. When officers went
to a%pprehend him they found that he

Lately Loft has been annoying his
neighbors and there have been several
wordy clashes. Saturday morning a

him and asked that Loft be put under
a peace bond. The warrant was issued
and was given to Deputy Sheriff Ole.

Oleson drove the ten miles to Lofts
farm and, staying in his rig, called to
the farmer to come out. Loft obeyed
and stood quietly during the reading
of the warrant, and afterward asked
the deputy to excuse him a minute
while he went back into the house for
something. Oleson soon afterward
heard a shotgun go off, and jumping
from his rig rushed into the house
just as Loft ran out at the back door.
Mrs. Loft was lying on the floor in a
pool of blood.
Find Body Hanging.
The deputy took her to his rig, in
tending to take her to a neighbours
house for treatment, but she died be.
fore they reached the place.
Oleson returned to this city and Sc.
cured the services of the sheriff and a
posse, and together they returned tc

COMPLEXION SECRETS
Only One Way to Secure a Clear
Skin,

In most instances bad complexion
is due to neglect Of the little things
In life that are essential to the pres
ervation of ones own natural beauty.
All manner of suggc7tions have been
offered by skin specialists, but all
agree that he only sure way to Sc
cure clear. healthy complexion Is
to cOnfrom closely as possible to the
laws of nature. To preserve your
freshness and beauty, you should live
simply. take plenty of outdoor exer-
else, drink quantities OF water and be
careful Of your diet. Remember. too,
that beauty Is good deal more than
skin deep. 1t is blood deep, and
depends also upon your liver; your
kidneys and the activity of your
bowels. For nearly two years now,
they have been telling the ladies of
tho beneficial effects that Laxakola
Tonic Tablets have on the skin. The
principal ingredients in them are
cascarin and dandelion and every
doctor knows that these remedies
start the liver going, drive out i'm
