"A company of gypsies were

Unhappidly for them, but for
tunately for the communities

afflicted with glanders, and he
called upon DR.. Hicks, the state

the horse affected, and he or

all the other horses in possession
of the gypsies. When an at

Geo. +. Sexauer x Son of Brook.
ings, one of the Oldest millings firms
in the state, have announced their in
tention of closing their mill the first
OF May and will hereafter devote their
attention to the elevator and feed bust
ness. There is a warming in this in
stance which should be needed by all
communities in which Touring mills
are located. Mr.. Sexauer gives his
reason for closing the mill as being
the competition of the larger mills,
which has become SO keen in late years
and also the premium that most small
mills must pay to secure good milling
wheat. Five years ago there were l32
mills in South y akota and today there
are less than 25 The town fortunate
enough to possess one of these 20 mills
can we'll afford to make every conces-
sion possible TO retain that possession
and also bend every effort to assis,
such mill in securing good milling
wheat.-Redfeid Journal.

Former Candidate for Governor Charg.
ed With Fraud

Charging that their attorney,
G. W. Egan had attempted to de.
fraud them of $4,000 of their in.
heritance, Theodore Kickland and
his wife, Mary Kickland, an aged
couple, have started an action in
the district court to enioin him
from filing the papers wherein
they assigned their interest in
an inheritance to him and the
court has granted them an order
restraining Egan from filing the
papers. Kickland states in his
complaint that he is n years old
and that his wife is SO, and that
they can not read or write and
therefore placed the utmost con-
tidence in their attorney.
The complaint states that the
aged plaintiffs were to receive 30
acres of land near Cleveland,
which was portion of the estate
of Lafayette Kickland, of Cuya-
hoga county, O., Theodore Kick
land being named as residuary
legatee by the will. 1t is contend
ed that the couple, not knowing
what course to pursue when they
were notified of their good fort :
une, went to Egan and engaged
him to attend to their interests.
He told them, the complaint
states, that he would have to 60
to Cleveland to see the property
in order to ascertain what the es-
tate was worth and when he re-
turned he told them, it is alleged
that it was worth about $4,000
and that he would give them that
much for it provided they would
give him a deed to the land and
assign to him their interestin the
estate. 1t was later discovered,
according to the complaint that
the property is worth $4,000.
The complaint asserts that they
agreed to do this and signed a
warranty deed and assignment
of their interests and that they
also signed contract of which
they do no know the contents,
but which was supposed to be an
agreementregarding the fees ano
expenses of Egan as attorney fol
| the plaintiffs. 1t also states tina
Egan has started an actor
against them under this contrac'
and the plaintiff offers to pay tC
his former attorney any fees anC
expenses which the co | may
deem reasonable.
1t is contended that the ageC
couple were advised later that thu
property they had inherited wa.
worth $4,000 and they then wen
to another attorney for advice
and he brought this action fOl
them. A restraining order ha.
been issued, prohibiting Egar
from filing the deed and assign
ment, pending the arguments or
issuance of temporary iniunc
tiOn.
