Crop

The wild hay crop we are assured By
parties who have had occasion to visit
different parts of the county will DO q
good one. the rams of the last few
weeks accomplishing wonders with this
great stockfood, although in some
localities there is q shortage. =" .
County Surveyor Phil. 3. Randall
vas IN Platte town last Saturday and
states that hay was exceptionally
plentiful in that vicinity and had at.
tanned good height, coming up above
his waist line. In the vicinity of Rice
lake it was more than waist high,
some being even higher than his
head, and he is no midget by any
means. 1t is his opinion that there
will be no shortage of hay if the
present crop is cut and stacked. That
it will be cut is verv perceptible when
different parties are lighting as to who
shall have the hay stumpage on
different meadows. It was to settle a
dispute as to who, owned piece OF
meadow that Mr.. Randall went out
to Platte to establish the dividing line
of adjoining farms by a survey.

The cucumber crop, which threatend
to be almost a complete failure this
season in this vicinity, may yet prove
to be fair before this season +ise. over

supply of moisture continues as
steadily as it has during the past few
weeks.
Mr.. Barr of Buffalo, Minn., who is
in charge of the local pickle station of

700 bushels of No. / cucum bers (from
1 to inches in lengthy and 300
bushels OF the No. (from 4 to 5

It had been the intention of the COM

but visit by Mr.. Barr last Sunday to
the eight persons with whom contracts

AS the company is unable to have
the dill shipped up here, just enough

not to manufacture any dill pickles

DfPOSlIORS LOSERS
Royalton and Bow luS Banks
=. -. E -
Will Pay But SO to
80 Per Cent

st. Paul, Aug, 15.-Depositors il
the defunct state banks at Royalton
and Bowlus, probably will lose from
20 per cent to 50 per cent of the money
they placed in tho institutions for safe
keeping. This fact became known to.
day, although strenuous efforts have
been made to keep the status of the
banks under cover. ..--,.... -
The greatest loss, unless some un.
known and unforeseen asset appears,
probably will be to deposltors in the
bank at Royalton. The deficit there
aggregates approximately $37, 600. The
bank was organized with q capital
stock of SO, 900, and stockholders are
liable for double the amount of their
holdings. Even if ar assessment Of
100 cents. the full amount allowed
under the law. be levied, the deficiency
would not be met. Examination of the
bank showed that the total deposits
amounted to $109, $50. 90 at the time
it closed.
At the bank at Bowlus, the deli
cheney is approximately $14, 600. This
bank, too, was organized with capital
stock of $40, 600. The deposits agRre'
gated at the time it closed S6Y, 512 96.
Should an assessment Of 100 cents on
the dollar be levied on the stockholders,
for double their holdings, as provided
for by law, the, discrepancy probably
could be met 1t is feared, however,
that in both banks are some stock
holders who are not "good'' for the
amount they are liable.
Suits are being prepared to place the
hank in the hands Of receivers 1t is
supposed that the court will order
double assessment of stockholders at
once to meet deficits.
Pioneer Press (i6): The deposltors
of the First State Bank Of Bowlus will
not lose any of their money, Mr.. Chase
thinks, but the depositors of the State
Bank Of Royalton may lose from 20 to
80 per cent.

Sheriff Frank Armstrong returned
Wednesday from the vicinity Of the
500 crossing south of this city, bring
ing up with him the hat. shoes and
stockings, neck-tle and handkerchief,
together with a piece OF board on
which was scratched some writing
supposed to have been the property cf
the unidentified drowned man, who for

empty bon bon box, bearing the brand
of Sylvester & Nichols we're also found
in the vicinity of where the above
named articles were found. The man s
coat. if he had one, has not beer dis
covered as yet.
That the suicide was connected with

MORRISON co. WINS
Judge Nye Holds Plaintiffs
Not Entitled to
Relief.

Morrison county won in two ditch
decisions handed down by Judge c. A.
Nye of the District court last Saturday
and received here by the clerk of court
yesterday, the cases of G. A. Lind
bergh vs.. the County of Morrison and
F. A. Lindbergh vs.. the County OF
Morrison being dismissed and. defen-
dant being allowed to recover for costs
and disbursements of the actions. Both
of these we're court cases and were
heard by J"dge Nye on June Is, 1911.
Allowing that defects were nade in
the preliminary work for the estab-
fishing OF bitches No. and No. =
the bitches complained Of by the above
plaintiffs respectively, the court holds
that the evidence introduced failed to
show that defects had resulted to the
prejudice of plaintiff nor does it show
that they had no knowledge of the con
struction of the bitches nor that their
lands did not benefit substantially by
the bitches as actually constructed,
and further that plaintiffs did not
take any action to prevent the con-
struction of the dicches, nor did they
appeal from the assessments, and that
they are not entitled to the relief de.
manded in the complaints nor to any
relief. The cases therefore being
ordered dismissed.
In amended notes, the court states
that the case Of State VS.. johnson, Ill
MINI, 255, case involving collection
of taxes for construction of Ditch No.
|8, was decisive, and that had the
opinion been fled when Judge Taylor
rendered his decision in tax proceed
lngs referred to in plaintiffs amended
reply, be would undoubtedly have fol
lowed it. It is further convinced tha'
adjudication in former proceeding doe'
not control in present case. The dltct
tax for each of the ten years is col
lected in separate proceedings and il
subject in each proceeding to an!
defense available without reference t.
former ones.
That these actions are not direct at
tacks on ditch taxes but actions t.
remove the cloud to plaintiffs title
to their lands created by fling o
ditch liens; and that the validity 0
the tax can probably not be tested II
this form of action but must be at
tackled in proceedings involving col
lection of tax itself
All proceedings on the part Of defen
dant in both cases are stayed fort.

CITY MAKES ANSWER
Admits indebtedness on
Old Brldke Bonds but
DISPUTES Amount

Admitting IN Indebtedness to the
Town OF Little Falls a. it's proportion
ate share of interest and principal on
bridge bonds iseued September l, 1883
= The Town of Little Falls, OF which
this city was q part at that time, for
the construction Of the old Broadway
bridge, but denying the amounts spe
cited IN complaint and claiming tnat
part of the amounts are barred under
the statutes of limitation, the City of
Little Falls answer to the towns claim
and complaint was served on E. A..
King, its attorney, Wednesday by
City Attorney L. W. Vasaly.
The answer admits that the city
wholly failed to make levy in the
years 1902, 'O3, '04, and '05 for its pro-
portionate share of the bouds and in"
terest. but claims that its proportion
ate share in those years is not the
amount claimed paid for by the Tow n
of Little Falls but its proportionate
share of the amount based on valua-
tion necessary to raise $3.50 per year,
$3.50 going for interest and $40O to a
fund to take care of bonds at maturity.
The city claims that its proportion
ate share in 1902 based on valuation
Of 81, 1877, 343 should have teen $627 a.
instead of 1927 81; in 1908, valuation
of 81, 22O, 425, should have been $626. St
instead of 1888. 81; in 1904, valuation
of 81, 100, OPP, should have been
$642. 40 instead of $787. IS; and in 1905
valuation of 81, 229, 964, should have
been $645. 90 instead of $645. 5.05.
It admits not having made proper
levy in 1906 valuation being 81, 174,-
826, aid levy should have been $645. o.
instead of 1,022. 80, and OF which
only 1858 O5 was raised, leaving a
balance due Of $685. O5 for that year.
Also in 1907, valuation being 81, 243, .
1872, and levy should have been 1868. 60
instead OF $723. 81, and of which only
1897 46 was raised, leaving balance Of
$158. 10 due for that year. 1t was
further claims that no demand was
made on the city by the town for pro.
portIonate share of levles made by the
Town of Little Falls in 1902, '03, '04,
and '05. and the six years statute of
Limitation before commencing action
barred those amounts from collection.
The city therefore asks the district
court to find judgment in favor of
plaintiff for 1921. II only, with interest
at per cent per annum on $36S. O5
from January 1, 1906 and on $158. 12
from January l., 1907, which figured
up totals $679.3O. The amount
sued for by the town Of Little Falls is
So, 656. SO.
Counsel for the town claims that the
statute of Limitation is to be figured
from the time the bonds became due
in the year 1908.
The case will accordingly be taken
up at the coming term of court.
The other towns involved in the
litigation have not as yet served their
answers to the complaints served them
by the Town of Little Falls. Pike
Creek and Mt. Morris have until
August 25 to serve same and Agram
