WISCONSIN FARMER TO
HAVE FINANCIAL AID

Milwaukee = Wisconsin farmers
needing financial aid in harvesting or
marketing their crops, breeding, rails
ing, fattening or marketing of live
stock or for any other agricultural
purposes will be taken care of by the
state loan agency, it was announced
here Wednesday.
The Wisconsin committee of the
agricultural loan agency of the war
finance corporation is fully organized
and ready to receive applications for
loans and to make recommendations
to the government. Temporary head
quarters are at 435 East Water street.
The law under which the war fin
ance corporation is created authorizes
1.-The making of advances to any bank,
banker, or trust company which may
have made advances for agricultural
purposes"
This will enable Wisconsin farmers
to borrow money to tide them over
the period of depression and eliminate
the possibility Of the market being
flooded with livestock and grain.

NJ. ID. STUCK
FOR PROMISSORY NOTE.

DR.. Frank S. Tuffley, Boscobel doc
tor, was stuck" for 81, 1850 by a
jury Friday. In June 1919 DR.. Tuf-
fey gave his note for 1,250 to t. H.
McWilliams, promoter for a potash
and iron company, with the under
standing that he was to receive stock
in the company which had fabulous
promises. DR.. Tuffiey never received
the stock but found later that Nc
Williams had put his note up at the
Pioneer State Bank of Omaha as
collateral on a loan. McWilliams
failed to make his loan good and the
bank proceeded or the doctor. With
out the slightest question DR.. Tuffiey
was the victim of misplaced conf
dence but Attorney Milton Orchard
for the bank convinced the jury that
the note had been accepted by the
bank in due course and that were en-
titled to recover. w. l.. Idell, former
assistant cashier of the bank, now
bankrupt, testified as to the transac-
ton. The bank officials have recently
been indicted in group of 81 Omaha
and Nebraska business men for illegal
speculation. 1t is said that McWil-
liams' relatives were involved by him
in his stock promotion

HOLD BANK RESPONSIBLE
FOR ERROR IN MORTGAGE.

The First National Bank of Fenni-
more was held responsible for an err
rOr in making out mortgage papers in
the case of John Fillbach, farmer, VS.
the corporation, and judgment rend-
cred for Fillbach to the amount of
$3.50. Fillbach claimed that in 1913
he had T. H. Corfield, former treas
urer of the bank, make out mort
gage for $1,000 or the S. e. IA of sec
ton %, and a mortgage for $1,000 on
the n. e. Il of section %, in Hettinger
county, S. D. In 1919 it came to light
that the amounts had been reversed
on the mortgages and the final own r
came back on Fillbach to make good
a difference of $500. Fillbach said
that he did not read the mortgages
before signing and claimed that he
trusted the drawer of the instrument.
He claimed that CCrfield had made the
error and held the bank responsible
for his loss. The bank attorneys
took the stand that Garfield acted as
an agent of the patron and was not
authorized by the bank to make out
conveyances. That if a mistake was
made there was nothing to show who
made it, The defense did not intro
duce testimony. The jury, in brief,
placed the responsibility for the err
ror upon the bank and found for Fill
bach.

JURY FOR DEFENSE IN
ACKERMAN ASSAULT CASE.

The case of Casper Alderman VS.
John Conrad and wife and brother,
Raymond Conrad, went for the de-
tense in trial last Tuesday. Acker-
man sued for $4,000, employing Kopp
& Brunckhorst, Platteville. Conrad
chose Brennan & Carthew as his
lawyers. The action grew out of an
alleged assault last summer Acker-
man claimed that Conrad's pigs had
been breaking into his pasture. On
Sept. Is, 1920, he passed the Conrad
place, going to town. He shouted at
the COnrads and, it is said, made some
remarks. The Conrad brothers came
to where Alderman was and a dis
pute arose eliminating in a battle in
which both Conrads and the woman
figured on one side and Alderman on
the other. Alderman claimed he came
out with broken arm the same
being due to a blow with a fence rail
from one of the Conrads Alderman,
John Retallic, boy who was riding
with him when the fracas arose and
DR.. Palmer testified for the plaintiff.
John Conrad, Mrs John Conrad, Ray
mOnd Conrad, John Rech, Frank
Fishnick and Harvey Okey testified
for the defense. The defense sought
to prove that the quarrel was Acker-
mans and that he is of a quarrelsome
nature by reputation. Evidently the
jury took the Conrad view as they re-
turned after two hours deliberation
with a verdict for the defense

which soon proved inadequate to &C
commodate the congregation. A fine
new addition was added to the church.
New windows, fine affairs, communion
railing, pews, stations of the cross,
statues were placed therein at this
time. The interior was also newly
decorated, so that the church gave
the appearance of a new one. OF the
six former pastors livings, none were

James Cleary, Minneapolis.
The congregation of st. Mary's
church consists of $50 members and
$50 families. Recently lots near the
