HEAVY VERDICT AGAINST
INVESTORS IN CORPORATION

Doadwood, S. d., Feb. fudge
Rice In the circuit court has Just de-
cided one of the most important civil
cases tried here in years by rendering
a verdict In favor of the plaintiff in the
suit Of J.. c.. Spencer, OF Newcastle,
Wyo., against William III. Lyman ct
al, Of Kewanee, ILL.,, involving $4,000.
A peculiar feature of the ease was
the fact that both the parties to the
suit lived In another part Of the coun-
try and the property sued on was near
Cambria, Wyo., but the suit was tried
here as the transaction took place in
Lawrence county.
Some two years ago Spencer sold
to the defendants some coal lands In
the Cambria district, they contracting
to pay $4,000. One-fourth OF this
amount was paid down In cash when
the defendants declined to carry out
the contract on the ground that the
titles conveyed were insufficient. To
secure these titles Spencer had made
two trips to Bombay, India, and had
spent over sis, 900 in money and some
Is months OF time. Judge Rice held
the contract valid and gave Judgment
against the defendants for the remain
ing $50. 900.

WATERFOWL CITIZENS ARE
ANGRY OVER DECEPTION

WATERFOWL, 8. D., Feb. Wv. H.
Stokes, of this city, when shown the
telegram from Houston, Tex, stated
hat he did not know Bailey, and
knew nothing of him. He says Bailey's
name was given him and he refuses to
mention the name Of the party giving
1t, and says he does not know whether
Bailey is a prominent citizen Of Hous-
ton, as stated in the leaflet circulated
at the eleventh-hour contest here.
Stokes refuses to stand for Bailey or
his telegram in any way.
A number Of leaders Of the move
ment for the commission plan were
seen and shown the Houston telegram,
and they feel very indignant, and that
Stokes has practiced q political trick
on the community. The upshot of the
matter probably will be hat a redhot
fight will be Immediately inaugurated
for a city assessor who will not re-
quire a mustard foot bath to do his
duty. .
Prominent attorneys of the city claim
that certain ~lands-about 5000 acres
exempt from city taxation under the
old charter were made taxable by the
adoption of the state constitution. The
test will probably be made by electing
an assessor who will assess these lands
and let the owners take the matter into
court IL they desire.
Stokes is one of the largest holders
Of these lands.

state legislature, to consult with men,

proposed laws affecting the interests of
newspaper men. The matter was re-
ferred to the executive committee,

the river. The railroad commission has
ordered that in the future a fixed rate

that the little man was suspended from

The present system, which is by

all the city, both for fire and domestic
