WILL CONTEST MccABE CLAIM.
City Won't Pay Him for Time if 1t
Can Help 1t.

The city will contest the payment
of the salary claimed by former city
engineer, James McCabe, for the time
that he was suspended from duty,
about two months, on the basis that
the Fifth ward sewer was miscon-
structed and that the suspension was
justified and that his consequent re-
instatament by Mayor Davis was not
justified The city council is prepared
to issue instructions to F. G. Dreaming,
city attorney, to fight the case to the
end and in the event that the court
finds for the plaintiff, McCabe now
having a suit on file in the district
court, a collection will be attempted
by the city against McCabe of dam
ages for misconstruction of the sewer.
Between suing on the bond of $1,000
furnished by McCabe while in office
and the amount of back salary claim
ed by him the city figures that 1t
stands a fairly good chance of secur-
ing enough to pay for reconstructing
a portion of the sewer near Hunting
ton and Polk.
McCabe claims that his suspension
was unwarranted and that the report
of Ellis an outside engineer who was
secured to report upon the sewer,
showed this.

people of Freeport accept Miss Tar
bells version as a fact. He says he
is personally acquainted with the man
and that the fact he receives ANNUALLY
S., 900 from the Standard Oil company

THE LAND OF PLENTY
Buffalo and Jerauld Counties Up il
Southeastern South Dakota

Why do i talk so much about those
two counties?
Because I've lived in different parts
of South Dakota for the past twenty
four years, and honestly believe there
is no better place in the state for q
home or an investment than in those
two counties. Not because / am sell
ing land in this particular part of the
state, but because | have travelled all
over the state many times in the past
twenty years. And this is where we
bought our lands and have been sell
ing them to our friends for the past
ten years and we have never sold to a
man yet who has not made big money
on his investment. | am not working
the real estate business as side line,
but am here to stay and cannot afford
to miSrepresent our country or lands
in any way. Further more | have
held the office of County Recorder in
Buffalo County for four years and
got in touch with people all over the
United States, who owned land in our
county and therefore was able to pick
up the snaps on nonresident land
which can sell you for much less
money than you could buy the same
quality of land from the farmers in
the same locality.
We don't claim to have the best
country in the world, but we do claim
that our country is as near like Iowa
as any state in the union. Also we
claim and can prove that our corn
will make 60 bu. per acre and better,
oats from 40 to so, barley 30 TO 80 and
flax from 10 to IS. Also that we can
compete with any state in the line of
vegetables, and that clover, timothy,
alfalfa and blue grass will grow album
dainty; and all kinds of northern fruit
such as apples, cherries, tame pIums,
blackberries, gOOseberries, currantS,
and strawberries will and do produce
equally as well as they do in Iowa.
| will be pleased to go with you any
time and show you the land whether
you buy or not. A ticket from Man
ming, Iowa, and return will only cost
so. 40. Bring this advertisement with
you and if you request | will deposit
in the bank double the amount of your
fare, and if you find | have misrepre-
scented our lands or country in any
way the money is yours.
We love competition because we are
confident that we can undersell our
competitor: all we ask is chance to
show you what we have got. Come
and 90 with us and you will not re-
gret it whether you buy or not; and
don't buy of us nor any one else until
you see what the other fellow has to
offer, as buying farm is some
thing you don't do every day.
Very Truly Yours,
HENRY G.. LEACH
