The telephone goes hard in hand with good

The telephone overcomes many OF the obsta-

Progressive farmers are insisting upon good
roads and telephones. These two agencies OF

toward eliminating the isolation of country life.

.EGAN LOSER IN
HAT[AND APPEAL
Supreme Court Says Valid De-
mand Was Made For Refund
Of Money Secured From
incompetent.

Pierre, S. D.. Dec. 1.-The supreme
court today affirmed the trial court Of
Minnehaha county in the case of Ja-
cob Hatland. an incompetent, vs..
George w. Egan, appellant. A COM
plant was brought by Hatland's
guardian, alleging that Egan had
wrongfully influenced Hatland to give
him note for $1,000, without consid-
Grafton. mortgaging his Minnehaha
county property for that amount, and
further procuring s275 from Hatland
in money, knowing that Hatland had
in February been adjudged mentally
incompetent.
The complainant demanded satisfac-
ton. This Egan failed to give and he
interposed a demurrer which was over
ruled. Egan then appealed to the SUI
preme court, contending that the COM
plaint was insufficient because it
contained no allegation that either
Hstland or his guardian disaffirmed
the contract made by Hatland with
Egan, and that before a party holding
such a contract can be subjected to
litigation he must have an opportunity.
to correct the evil, with costs.
The supreme. court holds this claim
untenable, and that the guardians
written demand for satisfaction in the
complaint was was ample opportunity.
to correct the alleged evils.
This case is one of the matters in
cluded in the disbarment proceedings
against Egan now under consideration
before the supreme court.
