MUST PAY
Winner Must Pay Lamro- Debt
Incurred by Town
Boomers

Chamberlain, Feb. GA decision
of the state supreme court, rendered
in the case of the Western Townsite
company vs.. the Lamro Townsite
company, holds valid one of the most
unique contracts ever entered into in
South Dakota, and will permit the de-
PENDANT company to collect a sum
amounting to about $40. 900. The de
cision holds in effect that when the
boomers of one town induce the resi-
dents of a rival town to move bodily to
their town-buildings and all-they
must pay the cash consideration agreed
upon.
The case had its inception when a
survey Of the Chicago 81 Northwestern
railroad missed the old town of Lamro,
which aspired to be the metropolis and
county seat of the new county of Trip.
Seeing they were to be left off the new
railroad extension, the citizens formed
the Lamro Townsite company and
purchased a tract of 100 acres of land
on the railroad survey. one mile west
of the present city of Winner. Their
intention was to establish a new town
at tina. point and move Lamro there.
Winner then was an ambitious
young town which did not wish a rival
town only one mile away, and accord
ingly representatives of the Western
Townsite company, which had estab-
lished Winner, offered the Lamro people
special inducements to move their town
to Winner. Their proposition was ac-
cepted and practically all the business
men in due time moved their buildings
from Lamro to Winner. The Winner
representatives, as one of the special
inducements, agreed to purchase the
1850 acres embraced in the Lamro
townsite at a consideration of $40, 600
and a contract to this effect was drawn
up aud legally executed. Certified
checks were executed and deposited by
the Western Townsite company to the
amount of 8 1000.
Under the terms of the contract
So, 900 Of this was to be turned over to
the Lamro men when six buildings had
been moved to Winner, another 81, 900
when six more buildings had been
moved, and $4,0 900 when eighty per
cent of the Lamro buildings had been
moved to Winner. Payment of the
checks finally was protested by the
Winner representatives, who followed
this up by asking for an injunction
prohibiting the Lamro people from col
lecting the amount of the checks, and
also asking that the contract be de-
clared null and void. The injunction
was denied and the supreme court
now has affirmed this action, enabling
the Lamro people to collect the
amount of their claim.
