The jury in the case of Wilson VS..
Willard, the calf case, brought in a
verdict awarding the possession of
the calf to Willard and placing a
value of $40 on the animal, over the
possession of which there has been
a controversy ever since the calf was
yearling. The costs are said to
have amounted to about $16O or
more than four times the value of the
calf.
The county commissioners have
dropped the matter of laying out a
road across the Clark farm north OF
the city. The expense involved in
litigation will amount to a small sum,
about $50, and the commissioners de-
cided to take that action rather than
pay the amount fixed as damages by
the jury, to the land in controversy.

GEORGE STONE CON-.
FINED TO SICK ROOM
FOR DIPHTllERIA
WHILE ATTENDING MRS.
STONE TAKEN WITH
. SAME DISEASE

An unfortunate attack of sickness
has occurred in which both Mr.. and
Mrs. George Stone of Mott, have been
placed under quarantine restrictions
in this city. Both are suffering with
diphtberia. MIS-. Stcne was taken jill
at the residence of a friend in the
city, while here on a visit and her ILL
ness proving 70 diphtheria, she was
placed under quarantine restrictions.
1t being simost impossible to find a
nurse to attend the case, Mr.. Stone
himself came to jamestown and un-
iertook the care of his wife, leaving
his work and business to do so.
While attending to ministrations in
the sick room, he was himself taken
down with the same disease and has
been placed under quarantine. A
nurse has just been secured for both
Mr.. and Mrs. Stone and while both
are i'll and expect to be in quaran-
tine for sometime longer, neither are
believed to be dangerously sick, altho
the results of that disease are al
ways uncertain.
Mr.. Stones sickness happens at an
especially unfortunate time, as he Is
making campaign for the nomina-
tion as insurance commissioner on
the republican state ticket. He is
unable to fill his engagements and to
visit other portions of the state as he
intended, but he trusts that his
friends thruout the state will lend
him their aid and support, notwith-
standing his enforced absence and in
ability to take part in the campaign.
He is also compelled to neglect inn
portant business matters at Mott. It
will probably be two or three weeks
before Mr.. and Mrs. Stone will be
able to return to their home.

Minnesota. A deficiency in rain fall

recorded.
Crops and pastures from Fargo to

southern Minnesota. It is reported
that the drought has done great
deal of damage in Canada, more SO
than in North Dakota, where local
showers and rain have helped many
localities, while others that have not
been as fortunate, show the effects
of dry weather.
Grain in the vicinity of Jamestown

county, is in better shape than north
of the road.
In the southwestern part of the

STRONG GOT VERDICT
IN TRIAL IN DISTRICT COURT
LASTING -FOUR DAYS. 9TH
ER CASES

In Heald and Klineman against
John E. Strong, the jury received the
case at p. m. Tuesday and found
it's verdict for $1,000 in favor of the
defendant Strong and thus ended the
four day trial brought on by the
plaintiffs claiming to have been beat
en- out of $500 by Mr.. Strong. The
verdict of the jury vindicates Mr..
Strong in the honesty Of his part of
the deal. The action arose out OF a
trade of three old stocks of goods
for land, notes and money belonging
to Mr.. Strong. 1t was claimed by the
plaintiffs that the defendant had rep
resented that one piece of land con-
tanned 160 acres, while in truth and
in fact it only contained 147 acres,
and that they lost $500 thereby and
that the defendant represented one
of the notes to be secured by first
chattel mortgage lien upon the crop
of certain land. These alleged mis-
representations were denied by Mr..
Strong and it was shown by evidence
that Heald was informed that the
chattel mortgage was subject to a
rental contract for advancements,
and the deed and testimony showed
that there had been no statement as
to how many acres were contained
in the land.
The defendant also claimed that
the plaintiffs had pretended and guar
anteed that one of the stocks of goods
were new and first class, while in
truth and in fact they were old and
out of date; one handed, mis-mated
mittens and gloves; corsets with stays
broken; dirty and musty umbrellas
with handles broken and lost; belts
with buckles rusted and leather de-
cayed; $500 invoice of buttons all
old and worn, and that he had been
greatly damaged, all of which the
jury found to be true and awarded
verdict in the sum of $1,000 in fav-
or of Mr.. Strong.
Many witnesses were sworn and
much testimony taken. T. F. McCue
of Darlington represented the plain
tiff, Knauf & Knauf the defendant.

The Ball niger Investigation

The belief is general in Seattle that
the Congressional Committee which
il Investigating Secretary OF the In
terror BalIinger will bring in re-
mort generating him, but it is ex-
nected that shortly after the commit
tee makes its report Secretary Ball
niger will tender his resignation as
member of the cabinet, and return to
Seattle. In the east where conserva-
tion is very strong and very much
misunderstood, there is very strong
sentiment among the press against
Ballinger, one weekly publication
going so far as to make an attack on
Mr.. Ballinger's private business life,
when he was still resident OF the
east, prior to moving to Washington.
Politics is recognized as pretty cold
blooded game. Mr.. Taft wants to sue
coed himself as President. The Ball
niger incident has developed into the
one big scandal of the adminlstra-
ton. While it is probably not Wor-
thy of the reputation 1t has been Civ
en-. the fact can't be changed and ac-
cording to advice received here from
Washington it is up to Secretary
Ballinger to resign in order to save
the administration. Every admins
tration has had it's "goat' and the
political supporters of Mr.. Taft say
that the unfriendly press and other
enemies of the administration have
selected Mr.. Ballinger for the role.
Mr.. Rallinger may retire from official
life but it is not believed here that
the PInchot cause Of conservation
will be helped very much. The sem
timent against it is growing IN the
west. The belief is becoming wide
spread that conservation is all right
from the standpoint of the east. but
that it is seriously retarding the
growth of the west. To conserve the
water power in order that it will not
get into the hands of the greedy rich
is looked upon as all right. but the
idea of setting aside as forest reser-
walton every piece of land that is
worth clearing and plough,ng is not
believed to be the best thing for the
development of the west. Ex-United
States Senator John l.. Wilson declares
publicly that he will make campaign
in the state of Washington against
the Pinchot policy. Wilson has biz
enemies, but all are willing to admit
that he is student and that as 6
campaigner he is hard to beat.
