Surety Company
Must Pay Bond
Supreme Court of South Dakota
Decides Against Corporation that
Tried to Escape Liability.

PIERRE. S. D., Oct. 5.-(Special.) THE
supreme court today affirmed the lower
court in the case Of state against Western
Surety company, which was up on appeal
from Mnnehaha county. 1t appears that
one John Magnus was indicted on charge
OF Illegal selling of liquor, and that he gave
Western Surety company" bond for his
appearance in circuit court to answer to
the Indictment When court convened Mag
nus had evidently decided that the surety
company was better able to stand the
strain than re was and he failed
to show up in court, or anywhere else
where he was known. The bond was de-
clared forfeited. and the company declined
to pay on several grounds, all OF them
more or less technical. The court holds
that none of the technicalities can waive
the provision Of the bond, which said 1t
was given for the appearance of Magnus
in court, and that the company must pay.

Senator B6rrows, chairman gof the com

Browne. He answered to his name and
then was excused until tomorrow.
Representative Henry Terrill of Colches-

she has long cherished the plan for a
garden, which the removal of the cottage
will make possible. Mrs Evans has no
personal use for the second cottage on her
beautiful estate.
The president has not yet given up the
idea OF making flying visit to the Pan
anna canal next month. The recent slide
into the Culebra cut has made him ali
the more anxious TO get after II and view
conditions of this great work. which he
regards as one Of the most important
features OF his administration. Mr.. Taft
announced today that II he should find
himself unable at the last minute 10 visit
the canal In November he will visit the
canal Immediately after the adjournment
Of congress on March next
The recent slide is taken by the presi-
dent as another good argument against
the sea level type OF canal. which would
have required an elght-foOt deeper cut at
Culebra than the present one.
