WINGFIELD ENJOINED
PAPERS ARE SERVED IN INJUNC.
TION ACTION BROUGHT BY
NATIONAL BANKERS.

Aberdeen, Oct. 14.-Papers were
served upon j. l.. Wingfield. state
bank examiner. here by Sheriff Wy
coff in the injunction proceedings
brought by the four national banks
Of Sioux Falls to restrain the state
banking department from enforcing
its recent order requiring all country
state banks Of South Dakota to carry
so per cen of their deposits with
state banks within the state in cities
designated by the banking depart
ment as reserve cities.
The matter was heard by Judge J..
w. Jones of the Second judicial cir
cult, in Sioux Falls Saturday, who
granted the application of the bank
ers. +. ID. Henderson of the Security
National bank of Sioux Falls placed
the injunction papers in the hands of
the Brown county sheriff and he
promptly served them.
This is the first step in the legal
action of the national bankers of the
state. who. together with a number
of country state banks. are opposed
to the order of the banking depart
ment. The opponents of the rev rule
claim that If ii is put into effect the
result will be to disturb existing rela-
tons of long standing between ma
tional banks in the larger cities of
the state and the country state banks
that have carried accounts with
them.

HOLDING WHEAT
STATED THAT LESS THAN 1 PER
CENT OF BIG CROP HAS
BEEN MARKETED.

Minneapolis. Oct. 14.-Less than
/ per cent of the gigantic grain crop
of the northwest has reached the
market. Four million bushels less
grain has been marketed thus far this

leled demand for cheaper lumber and
this coupled with low grain receipts,
grain gamblers say mean that the
farmers of the northwest are holding
their grain upon their W land.
That the farmer is prepared to hold
his grain until he gets $1.25 a bushel
for il, is the word brought today.
