Supreme Courts Opinion
In Ca11tOn1Ui11e-BOsch Case

from the statement Of the facts the
question at Issue Is one essentially Of
fact" Referring to the testimony Of
the Bosch Bros. that Cantonwine had
appropriated the firms money the
opinion says: "While much Of 1t Is
to our minds of a very weak and In
conclusive character there is some,
which, if true, tends quite clearly to
sustain the accusation preferred by the
defendants To say the least 1t makes
a case from which it is impossible for
the court to find that the charge was
made in bad faith or for the mere pur-
pose Of extortion. That the defend
ants believed they had been robbed by
the plaintiff we think is evident and
we have little doubt they, In good
faith, believed they had a valid claim
against him for damages. Such being
the case then if they assert such claim
and plaintiff yielded to their demand
and voluntarily delivered to them the
securities in compromise or settlement
therefore the law will not permit him
to repudiate the settlement and recover
his property even tho he is able to
show conclusively that the charge made
against him was without foundation.
In other words man against whom a
claim is made may buy his peace at
any price he sees fit to pay for it and
the mere fact that on second thought
or taking advice of others he becomes
convinced that he has acted rashly
or even foolishly the law affords him
no remedy.
1--WE find no ground upon which to
reverse the judgment below. In so
ruling we must not be understood as
finding or affirming the guilt OF the
plaintiff upon the charge made against
him by the defendants. What we ma
is that the evidence is insufficient 10
establish his allegation that the set
tlement and payment made by MIN
were obtained by duress or undue IN
fluence or were part of an unlawful
scheme to compound felony. 1t FOL
lows that the decree of the district
court must be affirmed"

The opinion of the supreme court.
in affirming the decision of the local
trial court. in the case brought by
DR.. e. A. Cantonwine against Bosch
Bros. and others, Of Vanceve, was re-
ceived Thursday. The courts opinion,
which was by Judge Weaver. will be OF
special interest to people of Laurel and
Nancleve, who followed the trial OF the
case closely because Of the sensational
details it contained.
The allegations of the case, in brlef
were as follows: DR.. E. A. CantonWine
was a practicing physician OF Vancleve,
and Bosch Bros. We're owners of a gen
eral store. DR.. Cantonwine made the
store his headquarters, and before
Bosch Bros. owned it Cantonwine aided
Millhouse, who was the proprietor then,
in caring for the trade. He was given
his board for his services.
In 1904 Bosch Bros, brought out Mill
house ind Cantonwine continued to
render similar service to the new own
ers. He received no compensation ex-
cepting his cigars and the privilege OF
buying merchandise at cost.
Prior to April 3, 1907 Cantonwine
had loaned Bosch Bros. $500 taking
their promissory notes. on that day
they accused him of appropriating
money belonging to the firm and de-
manded settlement and payment at
once. After some negotiation Canton
wine surrendered their notes he held
and paid them $3,365.74 in certificates
of deposits. Cantonwine brought suit
to recover the value of the notes and
the certificates Of deposits, on the claim
that he was threatened with prosecu-
ton and that he was coerced. and that
he was subjected to undue influence.
This the Bosch Bros. denied, altho ad-
hitting that they received $6,165.74
They claimed Cantonwne settled vol
UNFAIRLY. The lower court held that
Cantonwine could not recover and dis
missed the case. Cantonwine then APP
pealed.
The supreme courts opinion in
brief is as follows: LAS VIII be seen

orm such a task under any circum-

stances.
The strange part Of the theft is that
the nature Of it's details tallies with
similar thefts in other Fargo dental
Offices on previous occasions In most
every case none Of the newer gold or
other materials has been touched. while
1t has always been the old pieces and
shavings that is being worked over that
is generally found in the laboratories
that has been taken. This led to the
general supposition among local den
lists that these robberies are made by
the same parties and for a purpose
other than the mere selling of the gold
else why should the newer metals be
untouched when they are just as ac-
cessibte
The belief is prevalent that the
thieves are working in connection
with some dentists in Chicago or else
where who annually send their old gold
and scraps to the refneries for smelt-
ing, and that perhaps may be the cause
of these annual visits Of these thieves.
The men left no clue and their case is
as much of a mystery to the police as
to the dentists
