a farmer in the vicinity of Richardton
and was charged with selling morteaged
grain. Geo. Davis. manager of the
Standard Oil Co. at Taylor. appeared
as complaining witness. 1t seems that
Dolliver had given crop mortgage to
cover the cost Of some $50 worth OF seed
grain. He made two payments,
amounting to a little over $40 of the
principal. and according to the figures
of Mr.. Davis there was still due some
$40. Defendant claimed, however.
that third payment had been made,
leaving but So still due. Mr.. Davis
admitted getting II third sum of money

turned verdict of acquittal. Attorneys
iR. H. Yeak and H. c. Berry handled
the case for defendant.

tion of the prohibition law. Wallace
and his pal, as is generally conceded,
were openly selling at the stock yards
on that day and an effort was made to
, connect Mr.. Dahms with the transac-
tion. A number of witnesses were
called to show defendant part in sell
+ ling liquids on that day. Attorney A.
, T. Faber of Glen Ullin defended Mr.,
Dahms.
