LUMBER CONTRACT
ANNULLED BECAUSE
CREATES MONOPOLY
Important Decision Rendered
by Third District Judge on
Buyers Contract.

Yankton, s. D.. Aug. 5.--A circuit
court finding of far reaching effect and
Of the utmost Importance to lumber
dealers and buyers is announced here
by a member Of a prominent legal firm
Just home from a term Of court at
olivet, Hutchinson county. The Memo
Lumber company brought suit to re-
cover on a contract 8 per cent OF the
purchase price on a bill Of lumber fig
ured by them for a probable customer,
who agreed In the contract that In the
event of his purchasing elsewhere he
would pay the Memo Lumber company
the 8 per cent stipulated, a contract
that is very common In lumber deals.
The mar purchased elsewhere and then
refused to pay the 8 per cent. The
company promptly brought suit to re-
cover. The Judge held that there was no
consideration for the contract, which
was simply making a price on the bill
ana that as in effect II compelled a conn
petitor to bid 8 per cent lower In order
to get the bid, and therefore allowed
the plaintiff company to go 5 per cent
higher, hat 1t was against public pol
icy and that such a contract, intending
to create q monopoly, could not be en-
forced. The demurrer of the Defend
ant was then sustained by he court.

"LITTLE PANAMA" COSTS
LAND OWNERS $4,000

Yankton, S. d., Aug. 4.-There was
a good deal Of doubt and much oppo-
sition to the big drainage ditch proposed
for this county and Clay, but now that
the work is progressing so well a good
deal Of interest Is taken In the nder-
taking. The county board and other
officers visited the scene Of operations
and are more than pleased at the way
in which the contractors are handling
the big job. The great shovels OF the
dredger are rising twice a minute and
the ditch is being dug rapidly. There
Is 15 miles to g {, however, with eight
months to do II in. The estimated cost
Is $4,000, which will be taken care OF
by those benefited along the ditch.
Fritz Nyberg, son of p. ]. Nyberg, a
prominent implement and auto dealer
here, was fined IS and costs for running
an auto in violation OF the state law.
This Is the first auto case to come up
in this county and 1t draw a large audi
ence Of Interested car wner and horse
owners having grievances against The
bubble car fellows. The case will prob
ably be appealed.

5000. VISITORS
ARE ENTERTAINED
BY RAPID CITY

Rapid City. s. D., Aug. 5.-A care
full canvas of Rapid City hotels in
dicates that in the month Of July at
least 5000 visitors registered or were
taken care of in rooming houses in
the city. Inasmuch as the population
of the city does not reach the total OF
the estimated floating population, mer-
chants are enthusiastic over a big fall
business.
A large number of the ~transients
were land seekers and the big rush
will be on from this date. The division
made by the establishment of the new
land office al Lennon gives local deal
ers and locaters a territory extending
40 miles north in which to settle home
steaders, and most OF It is equal to
the best land homsteaded In the state.
Owing to the number of homestead
ers who filed before October last year
under the law requiring eight months
residence before Communication, which
expired by the enactment Of one re-
quiring IA months, the Rapid City
land Office has done more business this
month than In any previous similar
period In the year.

WOMEN SHOOT
TWO men NEAR
RICH.AND DAM
Ed johnson and Jay Wilmarth
Shot Down by Careless
Act Of Picnickers.

Elk Point, s. d., Aug. 6.-Lying In a.
critical condition with a bullet lodged in
the region of his back, Ed J. johnson, a
local butcher is the victim of criminal
carelessness on the part of a party Of
pleasure seekers, who yesterday spent
a part of the day In the reckless use
of target rifles in the vicinity Of the
Richland dam, six miles northeast Of
this place. Jay wilmarth also carries a
bullet In his shoulder received in the
same careless way, and DR.. Van Buren,
Knott, OF Sioux City, will make an eff
fort to locate and remove the bullets.
johnson is in an extremely critical con-
ditional and may not endure the add
tionaI shock of an operation.
Many people from this city spent Sun
day in the vicinity of the Richland
dam, picnicing in the groves and fish,
ing at the river. Among them was q
party OF young people from this place
who were In possession Of a couple OF
22-caliber rifles and who spent a part
of the afternoon shooting at targets,
using the river for a background with
out taking the ~precaution to see wheth-
err there were people within exposed
range along the banks. Ed Johnson and
family were spending the day o n the
Iowa side Of the bank n 1t was while
Johnson was on his way to examine
SOME Set lilies dlOuB the TlNST near The
bridge that he was seen to fall and
an examination showed that he was
shot in the breast les the heart and
was I'm a most serious condition. Scarce
ly a minute elapsed before Jay Will
marth, a 1~6-year-old boy, standing on
the bridge leaning over the railing felt
something strike him in h shoulder
and thought he had been hit with a
rock until his father saw blood COM
ing from a wound in his shoulder and
1t was then known that he too had
been made the victim of q bullet sent
by careless and needless hands.
The party in possession of the rifle
was composed of women n girls from
this city. They are not blamed for
questionable intent, but are the sub
jects OF severe criticism because Of their
recklessness in the handling of a
loaded weapon. There is much excite
ment over the accident and the authori-
ties will make a thorough investigation
of the case as soon as Johnson's actual
condition is determined. While the
shooting is supposed to be purely acci-
dental the parties who did 1t will be
made to ssum responsibility for the
results.
