Turner County Must
Pay for Printing
South Dakota Circuit Court Holds
that Printing Notices of New
Laws is Legal.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., May 12.-(Special)
Last fall. when the publishers of the
three official newspapers in Turner county
presented their bills for printing the cleo
ton notices and the laws to be referred
to the voters at the November election
to the Board of County Commissioners,
the board rejected the bills. The bill Of
each paper amounted to in the nelghbor-
hood Of 5000 when the notices and referred
laws were figured at legal rates. After
the county commissioners rejected the
bills o. w. Dingman, editor Of the Center
Vile Journal. which is one Of the three Of
fetal papers of the county. instituted an
action in the state circuit court.
Judge Trip of the circuit court now
has rendered his decision. which is in favor
OF the Centerville editor and Indirectly ia
vors tho publishers OF the other two Off
cial newspapers. The Board OF Commits
sioners now must pay the principal and
interest. the latter alone amounting to
over $40 per month for the five or six
months that the litigation has been pend
ing. thus making the suit a costly one to
the county.
In one or two other counties the bills
for this election printing were held up by
the county commissioners for a time, but
finally were paid. Turner county being the
only one Of the fifty-seven counties in the
state in which the matter got into the
courts.

cording to A. II. Wilkinson, a Minnesota
farmer, who addressed the senate finance
committee today. The price Of United
States farm products would shrink that
much, he declared. A vital grievance OF
the farmers. the speaker said, was that
they were not consulted as to how they

Modern Woodmen
Lose Their Appeal
Court of Appeals Holds that Bonds
ment of Late E. II. McCutcheon
Not Liable for Shortage.


IDA GROVE Ia, May 12-(Special.)-
Word was received from ST. Paul that the
bondsmen of the late e. II. McCutchen had
been given verdict in the United States
circuit court OF appeals, which probably
ends the seven years litigation waged
against them by A. N. Bort, former head
banker Of the Modern Woodmen. This
case has been tried seven times, three times
in the circuit court at Sioux CITY, three
times in the United States circuit court of
appeals at St. Louis, Cheyenne ana St.
Paul, and once in the United States SUI
preme court at Washington. The suit has
cost the Woodmen upwards of 10000 to
fight. ID. II. McCutchen owned a private
bank at Holstein, in this county, and was
supposed to be very wealthy and pros
porous. He died January 10. 1901, and next
day his bank was declared insolvent. Bort
as banker for the Woodmen sued the
bondsmen Of McCutchen for 500, 1853 and in
terest for funds which the Woodnnen had
deposited in the bank, claiming the bonds
men were liable as McCutchen's sureties.
They set up thirteen defenses, the principal
one being that the bond was obtained by
fraud and Misrepresentation. The decision
at, st. Paul sustains the verdict Of the fed
eral court jury at Sioux City, rendered two
years ago in favor OF the bondsmen. II
has been one OF the biggest cases over
originating in Iowa
