few days ago.
Van Godin is high strung, nervous,
and sensitive to criticism. He had in

Strange Double Verdict in Suit to Re-

Billings, Mont.-What is probably
one of the strangest verdicts ever

Sugar company and farmers whose
lands are included in the suburban
drain district, are suing the commits
sioners, treasurer and drain commits
sioner of Yellowstone county to re-
cover drain taxes paid under protest
and to enjoin the collection of the re-
naming two assessments levied to de-
FRAY the cost of constructing the
drain.
The jury in its general verdict
awarded judgment to the plaintiffs for
the entire amount of the suburban
drain tax, and in special findings,
which consisted of interrogatories
regarding questions adduced by the
evidence. found in favor of the defend
ants In every detail.
The Sugar company and farmers
claimed that their lands were not in
any way benefited by the drain; that
the drain commissioner had not pro-
ceeded according to the law in estab-
,ishing the district, and attacked the
constitutionality of the law.
The special findings approved the
action of the drain commissioner In
detail; declared that the lands OF the
nIaintiffs have been and will be bene-
dted by the drain, and that public wei
fare and the condition of the plaintlns
lands demanded the construction OF
the drain. In fact, every contention OF
the defense was affirmed
