BURLINGTON FARMERS WIN
INTERESTING CASE
Royal Indemnity Co. Will Have to
Pay Remainder of the $4,000
Hogy Elevator Bond.

A decision has just been made II
Judge Leighton in the case of num-
Der of Burlington farmers against thu
Royal Indemnity Co., the farmers re
ceiving q verdict for $8,165.13 and in
terest. The farmers sued for $4,000
the amount of the bond furnished BY
the company to the Hogy Elevator Co
of Burlington, which thru financial
difficulties was compelled to suspend
operations for period in 1916.
vator, failed and he induced number
of farmers to accept his notes fol
money which he owed them for grair
which they had stored at the elevate,
when it failed. The farmers claim
they gave the notes with the under.
standing that all farmers who have
grain stored there would do the same
thing, in order to give Mr.. Hogy ar
opportunity to resume business. AL
of the farmers who stored their grain
did not give notes, therefore the farm.
ers claimed they had right to ask fol
the return Of those notes and they
looked to the Royal Indemnity Co. to
make good on it's $4,000 bond. The
court decided in favor of the farmers
and rendered verdict for the $4,000
less 1884 which had been paid by
the company to c. R. Bierly and Ed
Durbin.
The farmers who brot the action
are: Ed Livingston, Ben Olson, Otto
Bonness, T. Burney, H. j. Nelson, N

son, VIM. Kluver and Mrs. Sarah Lam

w. H.. Sibbald, Minot attorney, ap.
peared for the Burlington farmers and
w. H. Stutsman of Mandan, former
railroad commissioner, appeared fol
the Royal indemnity Co. This is Z
signal victory for the Minot attorney
as it is generally realized that the
case was one involving many intricate
and interesting legal problems.

MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS
H o l. ID NJ e ETING
Large Assemblage at the High School
Auditorium Addressed by Maria
Sanford and Mrs. Perkett.

A thousand or more women and
girls attended very important meet
ing at the high school auditorium Mon
day evening, taking their lunch bas-
kets and enjoying a picnic lunch in
the big room at $3.50 O'clock that ev-
ening. Following this feature, Dr..
Maria L. Sanford, Professor Emeritus
of the University of Minnesota, ad-
dressed the assemblage. Her remarks
were brilliant and her advice whole
some.
Mrs. J. B. Perkett of the Normal
faculty, delivered a very interesting
address, which was full of facts that
girls and young women ought to know.
There is no such thing as dual stan
dard of morals for men and young
women. The latter have just as good
a right to ask that the man whom she
shall choose for her life mate shall
come to her with as good record
morally as he expects of her.
The gathering was the most import
ant of its kind ever held in the city of
Minot and will be followed with 9TH
ers of like nature each year.

threatening to make public the story
about influencing the supreme court,
dated last December 4, Youmans said
that Townley should forget the
crouch you have held against me-"
because Youmans refused to accept
an offer of Townley to "help me get
a hearing and judgment for possibly
Sl5O,0OO against Hanna, ct al, pro-
vi'ing would pay you for your help
one third Of whatever the Judgment
might amount to you. My sense of
honor prompted me to tell my attor-
neys From the time l did so you
have shown yourself to be a bitter
enemy of NINE"
Letter to Manahan
Youmans' attorneys deny that You
mans ever told them any such thing.
In his letter to Manahan, Younnans
says:
n have kept silent about Town
ley's attempt to bride and blackmaii
me in the Hanna case, and have 81
lently and patiently borne his I'M
friendly attitude and suspicious
against me from men whom he has
prejudiced against me for the sole
reason that did not wish to in any
way interfere with the chances Of
the successful carrying out of the
league program and laws. The time
has come, however, for me to let the
public know what the whelp tried
to do to US in the Hanna case
Since the Nonpartisan, league be-
came prominent Ycamans has pre-
tended to be for it and its program,
until the recent backsliding of some.
state officials. Youmans at first took
the side of the backsliders, and then,
finding the league traitors weres IN
bad, got back on the league band
wagon. His advocacy of the league,
however, has subjected the organize
ton to bitter attack throughout the
state, as it was believed by some that
he had some voice in it. His connec-
tion with various banking deals and
promotions has subjected Youmans
to continual adverse criticism and at
lacks, and it has been alleged the
league was in on or condoned some
of his financial ventures, although
this was not the case.
Leaguers who have been familiar
with Youmans' late efforts to dis
credit the league and the supreme
court express their satisfaction that
Mr.. Townley in making the whole
matter public, refuses to permit HIM
self to be blackmailed or inundated.
They do not conceal their belief that
the organization will be better off
now that Youmans has carried his in
trigue to the point where it was made
necessary for the league president to
lay the entire matter frankly before
the public. They look upon the dis
closures regarding Youmans as an ef-
fort to rid the organization Of bar
nacles who are attached to the farm
ers' organization, not so much for
loyalty to the cause as for the pur-
pose Of using the organization to aid
in personal financial promotions.

sunny Jim" Takes a Spin.

Noting our general air Of despond-
ency, due to lack Of fresh air and
sunshine, one of our neighbors took
pity upon q poor newspaper man last
Sunday and treated US to a 60-mile
trip through the territory adjoining
the city, and during our itinerary we
had occasion to travel over some Of the
Harrison township roads. Had we
written this Immediately upon our re-
turn home we would have had to use
asbestos paper for the purpose, but
row that our risibilities have cooled
somewhat we may be able to convey
our ideas in more moderate terms.
Either through parsimony, malfeas-
ance in office. or what-not, the officers
of Harrison township are responsible
for the most horrible roads it has
ever been our sad misfortune to en-
counter in North Dakota Surely there
is some way in which this condition
might be improved. Were it not for
the public spiritedness Of John Ehr
and Jim johnson, who permit the pub
lie to make thorofare of their fields
adjoining the principal highway it
would be practically impossible for a
car to traverse the valley road between

hill leading to the P. w. Myers proper
ty also comes in for a generous share
ofimalediction, too.

getting this building condemned and
when we build new Jail it's going to

that it will be hard work for the ami

ELDBRIDGE GERRY
DOES CHARITY WORK.
Eibridge T. Gerry was born in 1887.
After course at Columbia University
he practfced law for time. but his
great wealth gave him the opportunity
to free LANCE in whatever line he de-
sired. He soon became deeply in
terested in charitable work
Both Mrs. Galiatin and Elbridge T.
Gerry were fond of society In those
memorable days. and young Gerry
was one of the most popular younger
men at Mrs. Aspinwalfs dancing class
given at Delmonico's. then located In
Fourteenth street. Many mothers
with marriageable daughters Angled
for the young heir to the Gerry and
Goelet fortunes, only to meet with
disappointment
Even in those days Mr.. Gerry made
a point of never meeting anyone
whom he did not consider in the
most restricted social sets.
His marriage, to Louisa Living
ston. a daughter Of Robert J. Liv-
ingston. was the fashionable event
of the Time. Miss Livingston was
heiress to several large estates and
thus the Gerry wealth was again
added to. Mrs. Eibridge T. Gerry

ton about 1914.
His son was named Thomas X.
Gerry and he had hankering after
the sea. which shows plainly where
the Commodore" inherited his love
for things nautical.
Thomas r. Gerry was a man in
very excellent financial circum-
stances for those days. but he be-
came a man Of real power in the
financial world when he married the
great heiress of. that era. Hannah
Goelet, who father, Peter p. Goelet.
was one OF the founders of the ex-
tensive Goelet fortune.
Thomas r. Gerry had three children
-Elbridge T. Gerry and two daugh-
ters. One daughter died without mar
rying, and the other became the wife
of Frederic Gallatin. Mrs. Thomas
r. Gerry. until her death some twenty
years ago. made her home in the fa-
nous old Gerry house in lower Broad
way.
