This district is now presided over

From his own town he is opposed by
Mr.. R. D. Cooper. Hon. E. A. White.

from Louisville, Winston county
They are Messrs. H. H. Rogers, l.. H..

Sioux Falls, 8. D., July 28-Referee

tonwfne and his wife Maggie have en-
tered into conspiracy to cheat their
creditors.
Cantonwine claimed that on Septem-

which prevented him paying that
amount to his numerous creditors.
Soon after the alleged robbery, Can
tOnwine went into bankruptcy and
placed his liabilities at $4,000.
In his findings, Referee Muller holds
that the story of the robbery was a
fake. pure and simple; that Canton
wine and his wife have still got pos
session Of the money and that they
have, hid it in order to avoid paying
their debts.
He orders Cantonwine to turn over
$12,500 of the stolen money" and do 1t
quick. Furthermore, the trustee is en-
titled to judgment setting aside cer-
tain conveyances by which Canton

CITY AND COUNTY
CONTINUE llTlGAT1ohl

Centervflle, 8. D., July 24.-The case
Of the city Of Centerville against Tur-
ner county. brought to recover the sum
Of $1,000 overcharges for the collection
Of taxes. has just been modified by de-
cision Of supreme court. holding that
the statute Of limitation runs against
all sums retained by the county more
than six years prior to the commence
rnent Of the action.
The city contends that the county is
entitled to but per cent for collecting
city taxes. instead of per cent, the
amount actually retained by the county.
In this contention the city has been
sustained by the supreme court. but is
not allowed to go back more than six
years In regard to the statute OF lim-
itation. the city contends that the legal
relationship existing between county
and city in collection of taxes is a A.
duciary one; that in the collection Of
city taxes the county was acting as
trustee. and that all taxes so collected
belong to the city and not the county;
that the statute Of Limitation never
runs against trust fund. The city
intends to move for rehearing in the
supreme court.

that while the railroads of the state

by the state assessment board this

pot been fixed for railway assessments.
the indications appear to be that they
will get increases ranging from 5000
TO s4o0 on main lines at least. That
