Peculiar Mixup Revealed.


Pierre.-An interesting legal con.
test is up in Stanley county as a re-
suit of the failure of the State bank at
Fort Pierre some time ago. John
Hayes, the president OF the bank, was
doing a loan business through a Min
~neapolis firm, and negotiated a loan
for a woman homesteader through the
firm of Barnes & Co. of Minneapolis.
The loan firm took a mortgage On the
property and turred the money in to
a Minneapolis bank, which was the
correspondent Of the Fort Pierre bank
In that city. Just about that time the
crash came, and as the Fort Pierre
bank was indebted to the Minneapolis
bank, they held on to all the funds
they could secure. The result vas that
the Minneapolis loan firm had ad
vanced the money and secured a mort
gage on the property OF the applicant
for the loan. but the applicant never re.
ceived any consideration for the nota
and mortgage given. An effort to fore.
close has brought out these facts in
the defense. and the question at is
sue appears to be who is out, the loan
company or the homesteader who gave
the mortgage and did not receive any
consideration for the same.

Supreme. Court Holds He Has
No Right to Employ Spe-

ATTORNEY-GENERAL
OR DISTRICT PLENTY
IF Other Advice Is Needed
Corporation Department
Must Pay Himself.

The supreme court this morning
handed down 13 opinions which fits
the day of the month. Among them
is the case of V. L. Gibson, petitioner
and plaintiff, against Thomas B. Kay,
state treasurer, The opinion was writ
ten by Justice Burnett, and covers all
possible branches of the subject. 1t
forever settles the right Of heads of
departments to employ special attor-
neys at the states expense, and pre-
vents them doing so. Attorney Gen
eral Crawford appeared for the de-
tense.
The petition sets up that the cor
poration department "required the SER
vice Of one skilled in corporate affairs,
and well versed in the rules Of the
common law" in short a lawyer. That
in accordance with this necessity the
department had employed Claud Nc
Colloch, who was so skilled, at sal.
ary of $l25 per month.
Duties Of Attorney General.
The defense set up that these duties
were incumbent upon the district at
torneys and the attorneygeneral, and
that the corporation department could
not substitute an appointee of its own.
It also sets up that the appointee, Nc
ColIoch, was a state senator at the
time of his appointment and is dis
qualified under the constitution from
holding the office, as no person can
hold two lucrative offices at the same
time And further answer is made that
