AFFAIRS OF BRISTOL BANK IN
BAD CONDITION, OFFICIAL SAYS

Redfield. S. d. Dec. attorney w.
f. Bruell, OF Redfield, representing
National Bank Examiner T. III. Camp
bell, of Huron, who is in charge of
the Bristol First National bank failure.
has made the first official statement
of the condition of the bank since 1t
was closed after the disappearance of
the cashier, Torgus Strandness. Mr..
Bruell states there is no material
change in the situation; that the short
age had not been decreased, as the
various items which had been turned
over by Ted Strandness, son OF the
missing cashier, had been reckoned as
assets when the examiner took charge
of the institution.
Mr.. Bruell says it is utterly impos-
sible to estimate the total shortage,
because of the large number of float
ing certificates OF deposits. About the
only thing connected with the situa-
ton that became daily more and more
evident, he says, is the system OF COM
pleteness with which the bank had
been looted. .

HEIRS OF HOMESTEAD
ENTRYMAN WIN RIGHT
TO ESTABLISH TITLE
No Residence Ever Established
on Place, But Contestant
Was Too Slow.

Gregory. 8. D., Dec. 4.--That the
Homestead rights of deceased entry
man cannot be. coptested, even though
he failed to comply with the regula-
tons while alive, is the substance OF
decision rendered at the Gregory lana
office. Under this decision the heirs
have unobstructed lights to perfect
the entry and acquire title.
In June, 1915, Simon l.. Kent, or Mel
.ette county, filed contest against the
homestead of William Johnson, de-
ceased, alleging abandonment. An
amendment was filed. to the contest
action, later, including the heirs as de-
PENDANTS and alleging that they had
tailed to take any action in complying
with the homestead regulations.
At the hearing OF the case Attorney
3. o. Van Meter appeared for the
heirs He admitted that III months had
elapsed between the date Of entry ana
aence had been established; that the
heirs had not established residence.
The right of Kent to contest was at
lacked on the ground that he had made
Q previous entry, was contest, and his
entry was Cancelled.
Judge r. s. Trip and Attorney w.
y. Hooper. representing the contestant,
iontended that cancellation Of Kents
tntry, due to a superior squatters
tights being urged against him, did not
make Kent ineligible to contest and file
again.
The contest was decided in favor of
the heirs. and against Kent. on the
basis that cultivation had been begun
before any notice of contest was served,
Under the regulations the heirs of a de-
ceased entryman are not required to
make homestead residence. but must
fulfill the legal requirements as to cul-
tivation. This case attracted unusual
attention In the homestead districts for
the reason that no claim was made
that the entryman ever had established
residence.

BANKING DEPARTMENT +;
EXCEEDED AUTHORITY !
ON SPECIAL LAWYERS
This Is Ruling Made by Attor-
ney General Caldwell, Based
Upon Statute Wording. !;

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 6.--Attorney Gem.
eral Caldwell has ruled that State
Auditor Handlin shall not issue war;
rants upon tie vouchers presented by
State Bank Examiner Wingheld for the
hire Of special attorneys in addition
to the regular counsel of that departs
ment. These special attorneys were
used in the recent bank Eases at Sioux
Falls, in relation 20 the deposit reserve
contest. The attorney generals ruling
is based upon the contention that this
special service did not come within the
statutory provision for extra legal as
sistance.
The banking commission statute
makes provision for q regular attorney
for the banking department. and pro-
Vides for his expenses, and also pro-
vides that out Of the contingent fund
Of the department the bank examiner
may pay for special employees" II
Is authorized to employ special counsel
to assist in the liquidation OF insolvent
institutions. It does not mention that
special counsel can be hired for any
other purpose. !.
While It might be considered that the
special counsel hired in these cases
could come under the provision which
allows the bank examiner to pay for
special employees" Mr.. Caldwell does
not so view it. He says:
II think X Is clear that the legisla-
ture In providing a special attorney for
the banking department intended that
such attorney should represent the
the public examiner in Just such ac-
tions as the one to which you refer, and
the fact ts2t the legislature has pro-
vided an a0 ,rney for such cases as the
one you mention, In q clear implica-
ton that the public examiner has no
authority to make other provision for
the same work. And further, the pro-
vision in the statute quoted that the
public examiner shall be authorized to
employ other counsel to assist in tho
liquidation of insolvent institutions Ia
a necessary and positive limitation up
on the right OF the public examiner to
employ other counsel. He can employ
such other counsel for the purposes
mentioned in the statute, but for no
other purpose"
Salary Vouchers Required.
The attorney general has ruled that
county officers must file a verified
voucher for their salaries with the
county auditor before warrant for
the salary shall be issued, even though
the board Of county commissioners has
by resolution fixed that salary, or
whether It has been fixed by law. The
1919 dLuenuineHI 10 IHe law On tue SUI
ject was drafted to make this neces-
sary. ."E -
Salaries Of county officers may be
paid only by warrant, signed by the
chairman OF the county commissioners
and attested by the signature of the
county auditor with county seal at
tached, is a further holding, because
the salary OF county officer Is a claim
against the county within the meaning
Of the statute providing for adjustment
OF claims against the county.
