Peculiar Mixup Revealed.

Pierre.-An interesting legal on
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
n~eapolis firm, and negotiated"a loan
for a woman homesteader through the
firm Of Barnes e Co. of Minneapolis.
The oar firm took a mortgage on the
property and turned 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 was that
the Minneapolis oar 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 note
and mortgage given. An effort to Tore
close has brought out these facts in
the defense, and the question at is
sue appears to be who is out, h loan
company or the homesteader who gave
the mortgage and did not receive any
consideration for the same.

reason for the railway company serV-

question of renewing or refusing sa-

no apparent qualifications home except the most
perfect ventilation. One might reasonably suppose that
the first requirement in the nest of bird should be
that it would hold eggs securely. But this unsightly
collection of sticks looked that the last thing
it could be depended on to do 1t so loose and
open that the eggs ought fall through into the water
1t was fiat that any eggs which lodged falling through
should surely according to all known laws of Nature
be blown off by the first vigorous gust. Nevertheless
it was clear that the rude structure had held and
proved not unworthy of its trust; for it was now occu
pied by four young egrets.
They were grotesque and solemn babies, these nest
ings sitting up quite motoness their leg joints and
halffeathered rps with their long legs thrust straight
out before them the Sticks their long beaks resting
contempatively their nearly naked breasts, their
round bright unwinng eyes staring out blanlly upon
their little world of gold and blue.
Scattered here and there the sweep of rlnglng
bushes were dozen of these rckety plat
forms of sticks each with its solemn group of silt
legged staring young, motoness statues interested
in nothing upon earth the quantity of fish or frogs
which their untiring parents could supply to their un
assuageable appetites.
Above this outermost nest, with the four hedglngs
in it, hung for a moment, lowering on wide wings,
the great white mother egret, with a shining
orange fish in her beak She dropped her long legs,
as if feeling for a foothod, and alighted on the
