STARK COUNTY
CASE WAS COMPLEX
ONE OF THE MOST COMPLICATED
THAT HAS BEEN TRIED IN
LOCAL COURTS IN RECENT
YEARS GREW OUT OF DEFAL-
CATIONS OF WHITE.

The Stark county litigation which
was before Judge Amidon last week
was not one case but several. Each
Of these cases in turn involved a
! n1ulsitudc,sof of claims: - j. S.. White Was
auditor of Stark county for four terms.
such securities. The treasurers paid
Office for two years each.
During the whole official life White
| was engaged in making spurious war
rants and selling them. The total Of
these fraudulent securities reached
the sum of more than $4,000. He de-
ceived the chairmen of the board Of
county commissioners into signing
them. He forged the name of the
payee to these warrants, and pre-
sented some of them to the treasurer
for payment, and some of them ne
sold to banks and other dealers in
| such securities. The tretsurers paid
these spurious warrants.
Both the auditor and the treasurer
were under bonds for the faithful
| performance of their duties. While
| White was county auditor he was also
| city treasurer of Dickinson, and used
considerable quantity of the war
rants to cover up defalcations of city
| funds.
When the fraud was discovered the
| county brought action against the
treasurers and their bondsmen, and
| afterwards against the auditor and his
| bondsmen. The bondsmen of the
| treasurer having been compelled 10
| pay claimed that the primary cause
of the loss lay with the auditor, and
asked to be subrogated to the rights
| of the county against the auditor and
| his bondsmen. In the meantime the
banks who had purchased the war
| rants in the open market, asserted a
first claim against the auditor and his
bondsmen. The city of Dickinson also
| asked similar relief for the losses
which it had suffered by Whites de-
| falcation as city treasurer. The
principal defendant in the case was
| the Northern Trust Co. of Fargo
| which was on Whites bond. .
This statement is sufficient to show
| the complex nature of the litigation
| The case was argued for two days
and half. Judge Amidon, in dispos-
ing of it held: E-.# tt ..... I'D .
1. That the county had the first
claim against the bondsmen both OF
the treasurer and auditor, to recover
| sums which had been paid on the
| spurious warrants.
! 2. That the banks, as innocent pur-
| chasers of these warrants, stood next
| in order.
| 8. After these claims had been
satisfied, the treasurers and their
bondsmen were entitled to be subro-
gated to the rights Of . the county
| against the auditor and his bonds
| men as the primary cause of the
| loss. ... ~
Mr.. Cupler represented the Northern
Trust Co. His company was in the
main Indifferent as to the conflicting
| claims, and only asked to be protected
against future liability after 1t had
paid the penalty of the bond in full
Mr.. Cupler had mastered the complies
| details of the litigation. and 1t was
agreed that he should be designated
by the court to prepare. findings oi
fact and conclusions Of law, his com.
/ pensation to be paid by the several
/ litigants.
