A TILTED WOMAN
Big Sanborn- Carpenter Ranch
In Brule County Is Scene Of
Business and Senti-
mental Relationship.

Sioux Falls. S. D., Nov. 8.--James s.
Eanborn, banker OF Pukwana, this
state, must pay TO Ella r. Bay, of Me-
nominee, Mich. $4,000 for his failure
10 fulfill a verbal contract of marriage.
a sealed verdict to that effect was
handed in by a federal jury last eve
ming within an hour after receiving in
Structions from Judge Garland. San
born will be given the usual stay of
30 days in which to perfect an appeal
Of the case.
This is the largest verdict ever CIV
IN in a South Dakota court in a case
pf similar character and finds Jimmie"
Sanborn In position where he must
make good unless he can secure a re-
Sersal OF the decision on appeal. The
suit was filed for SIS, 200, n IL ie
learned hat three of the Jurors on the
hrst ballot were in favor OF granting
Ihe full amount, and IL members be-
ng In favor OF a verdict for Miss Bay
rom the first. The verdict is therefore
: compromise, but a record breaker OF
It's kind.

1ent Of the Northwestern lines in
South Dakota, and interested with him
m the banking business at Pukwana,

hnds himself. AS a representative Of
the Carpenter interests, which for sew
sral years rested in Mrs. Carpenter, the
invalid widow of the original partner,
Miss Ella r.. Bay went from Michigan
to South Dakota and remained for
some time as consulting manager OF
the property. She was able to prove
that this change OF location was inhu-
snced by Jimmie" Sanborn, who pre-
vailed upon her under promise OF mar
rage, to decline an offer of $4,000 O
year from a Michigan corporation. She
also alleged that she had placed nearly
$4,000 in Sanborn's business, for which
bhe had not been reimbursed, and that
She had reason to believe he was going
marry her until he admitted TO her
that ne was engaged to another woman
md that he had lied to her in his
rourtship and other relations with
her.

an who Is now demanding $4,000 IN

according to letters submitted In the

became real sentimental and continued
mis- epistle as follows:

A laugh was provoked at the ex-
pense of A. z. Kittredge, attorney for
the defendant, by the contents Of an
other one of Mr.. Sanborn's letters to
Miss Bay, IN the course of which Mr..
Sanborn stated that he would rather
take her advice than that of any law
yer in South Dakota. That the law
yers out here were all poor ones.
In another letter, Mr.. Sanborn pro-
posed hat he should take the lion
by the TAIL" etc, and Joe Kirby
caused a ripple of suppressed excite
ment by remarking that Mr.. Sanborn
was getting into British politics, in
that letter.
Later In the course Of the examina-
ton Miss Bay was asked to tell of the
conversation which occurred between
herself and Mr.. Sanborn when he had
advised her hat he could not marry
her.
The witness stated that he said to
her at that time:
ooh, Ella, l cannot marry you. I
am not fit to. l have lied to you,
Ella"
Miss Bay also detailed her connection
with the Sanborn- Carpenter Brule
ranch at Pukwana and told how Mr..
Sanborn had repeatedly kissed her.
