The SEWER CASE
MEEKER 4 DOBSON vs.. CITY OF
MADISON REMANDED FOR
RE-TRIAL.

Farmer & Blewitt were advised to-
day that the supreme court had re-
manded for retrial the case of Meeker
& Dobson VS.. the City of Madison.
The case in effect is hat Meeker a.
Dobson were the contractors who IN
stalled the Madison public sewer. 10
the vicinity of the disposal plant the
mains leaked at the joints and the
city refused TO accept the work hold
ing back $1,0S1 of the contract price.
Agreement was finally reached be-
tween the contractors and the city
that the city take over and complete
the contract, the contractors alleging
that they had fulfilled the require
ments of the specifications. but If
the city could make the joints tight
with work according to the specifica-
lions they would forfeit the amount
withheld. The city did complete the
work, but the original contractors al
lege in their suit that the city exceed
ed the specifications in the work of
filling the joints. Trial of the case
was had in the circuit court with
findings in favor of the city. Appeal
to the supreme court reverses the
findings of the lower court and in
favor of Meeker & Dobson.

gagged in other pursuits. That pro-
portion of the h~arvesters of small
grain. who are wont to hang around
the Dakota and Minnesota towns IN
til they have spent their seasons
earnings and are forced to seek char
ity, are also very little in evidence, it
is declared. The unusually early ex-
odus of visiting %harvesters is said to
be largely due to the heavy demand
at present for men in the lumber
camps of the north. 1t is a matter
of record that large numbers handed
over a portion of their falls earnings
for tickets to northern Minnesota or
Wisconsin timber country, where
their services are in strong demand
at wages better than formerly.

day"
Are you going to church next Sun
day? The church is the great uplift-
ing and conserving agency in the
world. Without it the race would
soon relapse into barbarism. 1t is the
custodian of great ideas. interpreting
God, justice, love and eternity. The
teachings of Jesus may be despised,
but they cannot be matched by all
the teachings of men, nor can any
one question their enobling influ-
ence on the lives of those who try to
follow them.
People generally have one of two
things to say of the man who belongs
to the church. If he is not consistent
In his life he is called a %hypocrite;
If he tries to be consistent they say
he is too good. 49,

FOOTBALL GAMES
MADISON STUDENTS HAVING BIG
TIME AT DOUBLE HEADER
AT ATHLETIC PARK.

Watertown won the high school
game In the final five or six minutes
OF play. With the game standing 6
to o., Watertown by a supreme effort
scored a touchdown and kicked a
goal for z points. The Baptist-Nor-
NAL game did not start until 4 O'Clock
finishing we'll after 5 o'clock.
Most of the local student body as
well as a large representation of cit
liens and visitors this afternoon at
Athletic park witnessed two spirited
ly contested football games, one be-
tween the Madison and WATERFOWL
high school teams, and the other
staged by the State Normal and the
Sioux Falls Baptist college.
The high school game was hard
fought throughout. The visitors
chose to defend the east goal in the
first quarter, kicking against a brisk
wind. Capt. Helbing kicked off for
the visitors, and the ball remained in
the Madison territory most of the
quarter. Both teams resorted con
siderably to passing and end runs.
The Sioux Falls club, with a fol-
lowing of supporters, arrived in au-
tomobiles shortly after 2 o'clock and
less than thirty minutes before their
game with the State Normal team
was scheduled to start.
The teams lined up as follows:

Thieves and FORGERS
CHIEF OF POLICE GRANT WINES
BURG WARNED AGAINST A
BAD BUNCH OF
SWINDLERS.

Chief of Police Grant Winesburg
OF Madison is in receipt of the fol
lowing circular letter from the Will
lam j.. Burns detective agency of
Minneapolis, giving warning Of a bad
bunch OF thieves and forgers operat-
ing in this section, as follows:
They proceed in this tanner One
of the number will call on a doctor
or dentist and secure entrance into
his office. III the opportunities are
afforded him, he will Immediately at
tack the desk and tear blank checks
from the back of the check book. He
also takes possession of any papers
containing the Doctors or dentists
p~enmanship. Then he cuts the tele-
phone wires.
The master penman plays his part.
In short order one of the gang pre-
sents a check at the bank. 1t Is so
cleverly forged that the bank man is
taken entirely off his guard. Besides
the man at the window has extended
a note reading: This will Identify
........... Please honor check
No. 49,. Kindly accommodate the
III tDNuAri dS 4 nv IL inlpOSHlDlt w
be at the bank with him.
This also is forged. IL is good
policy, so the bank man takes his
telephone in hand to receive the doc
tors or dentists confirmation Of this
trasnaction. He can't get a connec-
ton. The wires are cut. TO cause
no further delay, he hands out the
cash.
AN important suggestion If you
have any reports on the burglary and
robbery of doctors or dentists Of
fices, notify the banks on which any
stolen checks may be drawn. Also
warn all doctors and dentists in your
territory TO beware Of this gang, and
to report to you without delay the
loss or theft of any checks. We have
complete records on file referring tc
their operations, the issuance of war
rants, etc, and request that you mott
fly us when you receive i~nformatioI
or make an arrest in this case.
Keep the above well in mind. Il
may be instrumental in your break
ing up this notorious gang"
