. is among the important cases which
come up at the next term OF the su-
preme court. When efforts were made
to settle between Mountrail county

the county the former held that Ward
county owed them about $4,000. In
district court. however. Judge Temple
ton held that Mountrail owed Ward
approximately $4,000. George A.
Bangs appears for Mountrail county.
So far the briefs and abstracts have
not been filed in the appeal and just
what action will be taken has not been
determined. BY the time the case is
decided should the supreme court sus'
tain Tempelton, Mountrail will owe
Ward county about $4,000 instead OF
$4,000. The outcome is awaited with
no little interest.
