STANLEY COUNTY NOT
GIVEN MANDAMuS ON
HAAkON and JACKSON
Supreme Court Holds, With De.
PENDANTS, That Proceeding
Was Not Regular.

Pierre. s. D.. Nov. 20.-Every point
IN the case brought by Stanley county
concerning the arrangement for pay
ing the debts of the county when it
vas dlvlded into Jackson, Haakon and
Seaniey a ear ago has been
decided against Stanley county, plain
tiff, and IN favor of the other two
by h supreme court. h
court holds:
There must be a settlement in the
nature or a general accounting be-
tween M new counties M the old,
and the new counties must be required
to a their pro rata share of the legal
Indebtedness of the old counties after
oelng allowed a proper credit for the
and funds retained by the old
county,"
The court also holds that the date Of
aoJGstment of these matters should be
the vote on division occurred, and not
on FEBRUARY L. 1915, when organization
OF the new counties was effected, as
county contended in its plea.
me plea from Stanley county was
ina 1t a asked the other counties
adjustment of the debts, that such pay
ments had been refused, and a writ Of
was asked to COMPEL pay
ment.
the court holds that this proceeding
was mo- proper. since an investigation
OF the debt payments for each county
must be had. with the attednant eX-
pense OF the investigation.
INT defendants. Haakon and Jack
son counties. alleged the amounts asked
were In excess of those due to Stanley
county. because warrants. a%ggregating
a large amount. had been illegally is
sued and are. therefore. void. The de-
10nQ00C also alleged that
Stanley county retained a large amount
OF property at the time OF division. and
that It should be taken into considera-
ton. that the amount Of Indebtedness
due Stanley county had not been as
ccrsa'ned by proper investigation. and
counties have no funds with which to
pay such share of indebtedness and,
therefore. u raise them by taxa
ton.

Used Board for Oar,

Risking his own life in the attempt,
George Stedle, Is years old, saved a
friend. Jack Cory, IA years of age, both
of Riyerton, from drowning on Thursday
afternoon.
After school the boys went to the
river, to play on the large cakes of ice
which had piled up around the pier. The
recent mild weather had loosened them
so that they were no longer the secure
mass of a few days ago, and as young
Cory stepped onto one of the ice cakes,
it separated from the foe and drifted
rapidly into midstream. Swollen by the
thaw and rain, the river ran like a mill
race, and in a few minutes the frighten.
ed lad was out of reach of help from
shore.
Realizing his comrades danger, young
Stedle rushed to a light boat that was
lying on the beach, and pushed it into
the water. No oars were at hand, but
with a board as a paddle he worked his
way slowly through the ice to the i'm.
periled lad, Before he reached him how
ever, the cake OF ice went to pieces and
Cory was dropped into the icy water.
In another instant Stedle was at his side
with the boat, which was nearly over
turned by his efforts. The crew of the
tug Rancocas, Of Philadelphia, tied up
to the wharf, saw young Corry's danger
and were preparing 10 launch a boat,
but Stedle's prompt action fo~restalled
them.

The foreclosure sale by Sheriff Brown
of the Jobs Swamp Cranberry boys, in
Ocean County, brought by Budd Emson,
against his sister, Mrs. William H
Wilbur, of Trenton, has been held up
by the Chancery Court. According to
the story as given out, in the settlement
of the estate of the late Judge Emson,
the daughter, Mrs. Hannah Emson Viii
bur, took most of the lands, and agreed
to pay a certain sum of money to the
brother, "Budd." To secure this pay
ment a mortgage was given. And it is
this mortgage that was foreclosed and
under which the sale was ordered.
Aaron ". Dawes, Of Hightstown, coun-
sci for Mrs. Wilbur, attacked the sale
and had it first postponed and then for.
hidden, on the ground that the mortgage
when made, was given twenty years t.
run, and had now run between thirteen
and fourteen years, having more thar
six years left before it was due. He con
tended that the only claim the brothe
could push was for the interest, and il
this the Chancery Court upheld him.
