GOVERNOR LEE WINS

Fermillion, S. d, Nov. 10.-The case
Of William f. Niles VS.. A, f. Lee,
which has been holding the attention
Of the court since the adjourned ses-
sion began here last Monday, came to
an end Saturday evening when the
jury entered a verdict with everything
in favor of the Lee. It
is stated that an argument for a new
trial will be asked for b. the plaintiff
at once.
This is q case wherein Niles was at
tempting to show that he was still a
partner of Lee in a railroad deal in
the east, and that he is still a joint
owner of the deed of the railroad now
in possession of Lee.
Niles is q promoter, with his office in
Chicago. When the railroad in ques-
ton went into a receivers hands some
years ago, and was offered for sale,
Niles induced Lee to go in with him
and purchase it. 1t was the under
standing hat the two men should be
partners and that each should put up
an equal amount of money to meet all
expenses and payments, n equally
share the profits. After the ex-gover-
nor had put in some $4,000 he asked
for an accounting CT the enterprise,
and when e got it, it was in such a
shape that he Immediately grew
suspicious and he began an investiga-
ton. He found that he had been
played for a sucker, and so he called a
halt. Lee hen secured a deed Of the
whole railroad in his own name, and
this deed Niles claimed was secured
by fraud, while the ex-governor says it
was given in good faith. Evidently the
railroad proved to be a good thing after
Niles had transferred the deed to Lee,
and in the trial he attempted to get
back on the wagon with Lee, but ac-
cording to all the evidence, things were
against him. and Lee won out.
