BARRASSED.

Sioux Falls, April Upon the

for the foreclosure yesterday after
noon.

way officials hat a trustee was en-
titled TO be appointed for receiver

pointment was not contested. After
a conference with all parties inter-
ested, Mr.. Stebbins was suggested as
a suitable receiver and after an in
vestigation Judge Elliott named him.
Mr.. Stebbins' bond was fixed at $780,
900 and this will be submitted this

This get-together proposition was
an unqualified success is every res
pect, and Notwithstanding the meet
ing was called for the purpose of
having explained in detail the Farm

of the time to the gentlemen who are
organizing the county for the pur-
pose of securing a county agent, and
the organization for that purpose
was arranged for.
Mr.. Mannix found the audience
very much interested in the Farmers
and Merchants club project, and all

than an hour to an explanation of the
proposition. A smoker was INDUCED
in at the close of the meeting and
the first real g~et-together affair for
Salem went into history as the best
thing of the kind ever pulled off in
this part of the country. 1t means
great cooperation between town and
country.
