peated at the expense of the sender,
they were not liable. Mr.. Carbon plac-
ed the matter in the hands of an at
torney with instructions to bring suit,
which was done. The liability of the
company vas first tested by demurrer
based upon the printed matter on the
back of the telegram. Judge Trip
held this to be against public policy
and therefore void. The company
then dropped that phase Of the case
and took up other questions. The case
was finally tried before a jury in No
vember. 1913, resulting in a verdict
for the plaintiff for the full amount,
from which the company appealed to
the supreme court. In the decision
just rendered by the supreme court
the judgment Of the circuit court is
affirmed in all things.

ABOUT II COUNTY
BRUCE

From the Herald:
Bruce is fortunate in having at pres
ent a good organization of boy scouts.
There seems to be some misunder-
standing, however, as to the object OF
these companies, the drill and system
attic organization suggesting a mill
tary reason. a mistaken idea. The mo-
tive back of the boy scouts is to make
better citizens; to take a boy as he
develops into manhood and turn his
attention in the direction of happiness,
kindness, honor and good living, and
make systematic use in wise yet inter
esting ways of that surplus energy
that often leads to the downward path
if u%nguided. Bruce has good material
in the boys growing up, and the train
ing of the boy scouts will be of mater
ial benefit in developing the latent
manliness and fine qualities they pos
sess.

w. E. Whittemore, the Estelline land
man, was in the city on business the
last of the week.
CARROLL Iverson left Monday morn

A. B.. Allen, advance man for the
chautauqua bureau, was here the last
of the week comforting with r. f. Kerr,
the local manager.
Father Parks arrived the last of the
week to take charge of the Brookings
and Aurora parishes during the alb
sence of Father Shean. Father Parks
is just out of college.
T. S. LeFevre, C. A. and Gilbert Gull
lick and E. H. Carlisle were up to
Poinsett the last Of the week and
brought back their hunting shack,
which has been there since last fall.
They have taken it to Lake Campbell
for the. summer.
We were up to the Lutheran church
Sunday evening and enjoyed a fine pro-
gram given by the Luther League. The
church has not as yet selected a sue
cessor to Rev. Fossnes, but has sew
eral men coming for trial during the
next few weeks.

people will undoubtedly 60 to White.
We were down to Elkton by auto
Sunday and found that considerable
road work is being done in that Sec
ton of the county. Commissioner
Davis is having the work done right
and it was not left unfinished as is
some times the case. The crops look
to be about the same as around here,
small grain being fine. but corr a little

Brookings defeated Elkton at Elk
ton Sunday by a score of 8 to 3.
"Jingles" Hewitt pitched for Brookings
and the Elkton bunch couldn't do
much with him, a wild throw letting
in two of their scores. Elkton has a
new Indian battery, but the a%borigine
pitcher didn't to have much that
deceived the local boys.
If the users of South Dakota high
ways would bear in mind that the
roads were not intended to be hog
ged" by any m person, we wouldn't
hear of the grist Of weekend disasters
of motor cars, motorcycles, bicycles
and teams, says an exchange. There
is plenty of room for everybody, if all
will use due caution. There are timid
persons who would use the highways
of the state more were it not for the
abuse of their privileges by some
motorists. 1t seems hardly possible
hat even a small number of persons
are deprived of what is rightfully
theirs, the use of the highways when
ever they so desire, because of reck-
less driving on narrow stretches of
road, yet the evidence points in that
direction. 1t won't take long for a
reckless driver to bring the whole
automobile fraternity into disrepute,
and it is the duty of motorists who are
sensible of the rights of others, and
they are in the majority, to join in an
effort to make 1t possible for every
one to use the streets and highways
without fear Of danger.

The White-Hendricks ball game here
Sunday was an easy victory for the

%pretense Is made Of playing fast ball.
Some of the team here expected to get

getting the bunch of nice hits that
they did in the first part of the game.

THE CROW'S=NEST

Visitors to the city of Bookings
when they have occasion to ride
through the residence portions or stroll
along our shaded sidewalks always
have words of praise for the city as a
whole, except parts of our main street.
We have a right to take a certain
amount of pride in our dwellings and
lawns, our sidewalks and trees. a
rough estimate of the number Of miles
of cement sidewalks, north of the rail
road tracks, which are lined with rows
of shade trees on each side, aggregates
cided to try to walk the whole length
of our we'll made sidewalks in a day he
could keep in the shade all day ex-
cept while crossing the streets at the
intersections. AS new extensions of
sidewalks are being made the custom
of planting shade trees is being kept
Of planting shade trees is being kept up
a Weston could not traverse the whole
length Of our shaded cement walks in
a day. One enterprising citizen has
gravelled a half block of street along
side of his house and it will be inter
esting to watch the experiment. If it
stands up well it may show what can
be done with the remainder Of the resi-
donnn ctrnnfc Tho nrnCnnpt nf naV-
ing the main business streets is still
in the talking stage but it is coming
in time.
Speaking of streets suggests the sub
ject of roads. Travellers from the
south report that the main road to the
county line is in first class condition
due to the work put on that section
under the direction of the Commercial
Club just before our Lake county
visitors came up to visit State Col
lege. The same attention paid to the
repair of the roads in other directions
would add to the reputation of the city
and county for looking after the wei
fare of the public in general. Efforts
are being made to fix up some of the
bad places in the roads east and west
and it is to be hoped that this will be
lone before the crest Of tourist travel
is at it's height this summer. Nothing
can be done that will add more to the
good name of the city and country
around about than the keeping of our
roads in fine condition during the
travel season. Tourists are apprecia-
advertisers.

From the Leader:
Ferd Barg, who made a business
trip to the Twin Cities last week
states that the best crops he has yet
seen is in this section. He says u
crops are immense when compared
with the crops around Minneapolis
and our corn is far in advance of the
corn there. They received heavier
rains which probably accounts for it.
G. p. Hall of Brookings, our county
Judge, was over to White Monday, and
called on friends and old acquaint-
ances. He made the Leader Office a
pleasant call and we certainly enjoyed
his brief visit with us. Mr.. Hall Is a
