The jury retired at O'Clock Satur-
day evening and the first ballot
stood 10 to 2 for the association, it
was learned.
Attorney General elect, Geo. Shaf-

ment, called F. R. Pollard, former

demned his actions while in the en-

Pollard lacked the authority to
make the contract the plaintiff lum-
her company alleged he made.
Mr.. Shafer also denounced what
he termed the "unconscionable
terms" of the contract and declared
the profits provided for the lumber
company were extort1onate.
The lumber company presented
five causes of action in its suit: on
the first it demanded $S62.5O for a
carload of cement delivered. Mr.
Shafer declared the records showed
that this car was entrusted to Pol
lad personally to be sold thru a
lumber company he was organizing
vt Casselton, and that there was NO
evidence the material was bought by
the association. On carload OF
plaster on which the plaintiff alleg-
ID loss of 500 profits, Mr.. Shafer as
4erted that the fulfillment of the or
>'lcr was delayed so long that the as
rociation could not use it and that
he order had been cancelled. He
declared the same condition existed
vith respect to carload of pipe.
The two big claims involved were
cor alleged loss of profits due to
failure of the association to fulfill a
contract of May IL, 1920, and an
other Of Sept. 1S, 1920, for total
Of more than six million feet of lum-

first the Burkholder company ask
I'd $4,000 and on the second $751;

On May IL, 1920, Mr.. Shafer declar-
ed he did not have the authority to

Burkholder company made claim
some months later. He also denied
hat the contract of Sept. 1S was va.
lid. ard asserted again that Pollard
had no authority.
Mr.. Shafer asserted the contract
was so Outrageous in its terms as
TO shock our conscience" in the pro.
fits it provided for the company.
F. o. Hel1strOm and William

serted the records showed the Burk.
