COURT SAYS CITY DID
NOT ACT FAIR IN ITS
BET WITH CONTRACTOR
Went Beyond Specifications to
Construct Sewer Joint That
Would Not Leak.

Madison, S. D., Nov. 13.-That the
hty Of Madison took unfair advantage
Of Meeks & Dobson In a $1,081 wager.
posted between the two, is the sum and
substance OF a decision handed down
by Justice Gates Of the state supreme
court. when he reversed the findings
of the lower court and ordered the case
pr Meeks & Dobson vs.. the city of Mad
Son back for a new trial.
The plaintiffs in this action were
contractors, who constructed a sewer
Fystem for the city upon plans and
specifications furnished by the city
engineer. When the work was finished
It was found that n section of the
sewer leaked at the joints. The city
held back the sum of $1,0S1 in settle
ment.
A wager was posted between the.
contractors and the city that the sew
er could not be constructed on the spe-i
,ifications without leaking at the
loints. An agreement was made where
by If the city could construct a non,
leaking sewer following the specifica-'
lions. the contractors would forfeit the.
1851. The city spent $3.50 on the
work and used concrete bands and bev-'
ELS to make the joints tight, these not
being ordered in the specifications.
The contractors brought suit in cir.
rilit court, u were decided against.
The supreme court has held in their
favor, and a new trial is ordered un-
,ess the city will pay the money in
polved in the action.

DECLARES BLACK CAT
HOODOOED AUTOMOBILE

Of Car and Things Happened
Proof Enough.

Hudson. s. D.. Nov. 15.-Thfre are
those who regard the 'queering' quail
tiles Of black cats as established sci
ence, rather than superstition. Peter
Hegness. of Hudson, is not inclined to
superstition-not the least--but he
feels sure that black cats can do I'M
canny things, even to an automobile.
Mr.. Hegness and Oscar Hall, a
friend, decided to take an automobile
trip to Elk Point. On the way down,
between Chatsworth and Akron, a
black cat run across the road. At that
time Hegness remarked to his compan-
ion that something would surely hap
pen. The journey to Elk Point was
made without further incident.
On the return trip to Hudson. the
car was not working right and Heg-
ness, although possessed of consider
able ingenuity, could not discover what
the trouble was. He had momentarily
forgotten about the black cat episode.
However, the incident of the cat was
forcibly recalled to the m1ds of the.
two men, for, when the IA reached
the exact spot in the road where kitty
had crossed their path, it suddenly
stopped and refused to go any far
ther. Then 1t was discovered that the
oil feed pipes had burned out and that
the babbeting had all burned out OF
the bookings.
The car, in fact, was in a terrible
state-so bad. that it a to be pulled
to the nearest town by a team of horses
supplied by a nearby farmer. The au-
tomobile required extensive repairs and
the two men lac to return to Hudson
on a railway train.

Sinai, S. D., Nov. 13.-Because Her
man Halverson, of Sinai, a member Of
the board of commissioners Of Brook
ings county, quoted two verses of
scripture in a c~ablegram to his brother,
Peter Halverson, a missionary in MAIDS

up the cablegram. under the belief that
it was a cipher message.
The cablegram was sent to the
brother in Madagascar for the purpose,
of informing him of the death of the
mother Of the two men i'll South,
Dakota. The two verses of scripture
had been selected by the South Dakota
brother to be used at the funeral Of
the mother. n he cabled them to his
brother so the latter could utilize the
same verses at simultaneous funeral
services in honor Of the mother at
services held by him in his mission in
Madagascar.

satisfied. after referring the matter
back to the United States and South

STATE AUDITOR WILL
NOT PAY CLAIMS FOR
SPECIAL ATTORNEYS
Questions Legality of Expense
Created In Making Fight
Against Bankers.

Pierre, S. D, Nov. 13.-Another en-
sation was created in official circles
yesterday when State Auditor Handlin
refused to honor the vouchers for the
special attorneys employed to enforce
the banking departments local reserve
order.
The state auditor rules that there is
no provision, under the law, for these
expenditures and that he might be held
personally liable for allowing the
claims. The banking department has
a special attorney to handle its affairs
and his fees are not called int ques-
ton by the auditor. Only the claims
of the special attorneys are affected
Gamble e Wagner of Sioux Falls and
Gardner e Churchill of Huron.
1t is held by the state auditor that
the situation is distinct from one
created in attempting to uphold a
state law. In this case the enforcement
of no legislative enactment is involved.
The public examiner made a personal
order, construed by many authorities
as absolutely illegal and irregular, and
1t is this order he is seeking to enforce
at the states expense.
In the banking department, as in
other state departments, there are pro-
visions for extraordinary expenditures
in carrying out legitimate state bust
ness, especially in UNFOLDING statutory
regulations, but many attorneys here
think the state auditor has no author
ity to honor miscellaneous expenditures
such as the ones o called into ques-
ton.
The general expectation here is that
a mandamus action will be brought to
test the issue right away as the right
Of the examiner to hire special attor-
neys in prosecuting an appeal to the
supreme court is involved.

MANY SMALL HOLDINGS
REPLACE FORMER BIG HERDS

Pierre, S. D., Nov. 13.-The cattle
movement for the western part Of the
state for this fall appears to be about
equally divided between the 'in" and
"out" shipments. The shipments to
market are heavier than for any e "a
since tn breaking up Of the big herds,
with the difference that the shipments
now are composed of small lots, rang
Ing generally one or two cars for each
shipper instead of whole trainloads
sent out by one man or company. This
Is the result of changed conditions,
where the cattle are held in small
punches and cared for in winter instead
Of being allowed to run the range and
take chances m pulling through. While
the shipments out mean a nice income
to each of man, small farmers, the
shipments in show that there is a de-.
mand for young stuff to take the place.
Of the older stock going out, and the,
owners Of the small herds are keeping
them up in number by the purchase Of
young stuff to take the place Of their
marketable shipments.
