SCHAFER CASE BOBS UP.
By Supreme Court Ruling Depositors
of ii Banks Will Get From
S125.OOO to $15O,OOO.

The state supreme court has hand
ed down a decision upholding the Hen
nepin county district court in the
Schafer fraud case. By this ruling
between $125,000 and $150,000 will be
obtained for depositors of the ID
banks, the collapse of which resulted
in Schafer's being sentenced to the
penitentiary. The Long Siding State
bank was among those which suffered
through Schafer's defalcations.
The decision came in a suit brought
by A. B. Darelius, as receiver for the
I Mortgage Security company, against
the Commonwealth Mortgage conn.,
pany. Schafer controlled both COM
panies, and it was alleged that he
had transferred property from the
Mortgage Security company to the
Commonwealth Mortgage company
without consideration. The supreme
courts decision was as follows:
"The evidence sustains the finding
! of the trial court that the issuance OF
certain notes and the transfer of GER
tain property by the plaintiff corpora
ton to the defendant corporation in
payment of the notes were transac-
tions done at the instance of con.
trolling stakeholder in both corpora
tions without consideration, without
authority of the plaintiff corporation
and in fraud Of that corporation, thai
the defendant corporation was charge
able with knowledge of the facts an(
that the plaintiff corporation is en-
titled to have the transaction Sc
aside"
Mr.. Darelius is quoted as saying
that about 80 per cent Of the none!
which will be obtained as the result O.
this decision will be turned over tt
the state banking department for tn
benefit of the banks which are credi
tors of the Mortgage Security com
pany.

PLAY WELL RECEIVED.
Comedy Presented by Greenbusi
Dramatic Society Before a
Large Audience.


The comedy, The Bank Cashier, was
presented in Princeton armory Mon
day evening to large audience ap-
proximately 300 persons were present.
The actors were thoroughly familiar
with their parts as they had presented
this same comedy at the Glendorado
hall on April 20. Although the COM
edv was much more difficult to handle
than many of the productions written
for amateurs, the whole performance
was very creditable, and Mrs. A. r..
Grow, the director, is to be commend
ed for her excellent work.
Mel Grow as Philip Templeton;
Ethel Borneke as Edith Sinclair; Doty
Grow as the maid; Archie Rochetord
as her devoted lover, Blinkey Baker;
Archie Robideau as the clever lkey
Slick, self-appointed detective; and
Jordan Courteau as. Paul Kingston,
the teller associated with the cashier,
PLAYED the leading roles. All these
parts were we'll taken. The leading
characters were given strong support
by Marie Dejarlais as Biddy Mcclure
the independent scrub lady; Mrs. Dolly
Grow as Susan Goodwill, the village
gossip; Merlin Sager as Jacob Sharp
who made an excellent partner for the
clever 1key; Adlour Dejarlais as Rob
ert Sinclair, and Alzior Normandin as
the sturdy policeman, Dennis O'Hara
There were several thrilling drama
tic incidents and some gun play. In
fact the plot of the comedy reminded
some of the older members Of the
audience of the melodramas that were
staged in Princeton in the good ole
days when DR.. Cooney, Ed. Evens anc
Dan Spaulding were starring. The
home talent plays are always popular
and invariably draw large audiences.
The high school girls glee club
sang three selections during the in
termissions between the acts. Mis-:
Marguerite Snyder played their &C
compartments. Little Leola Marti
mer, who sings exceptionally we'll fo7

Highway PatrOlmen Fleeced.

A fellow calling himself &c. Den

highway patrolmen of the state under
the pretense that he is an "organizer"
for union which will mean a return
to the old wage scale Of IS cents an
hour. He has gathered in considera-

the unsophisticated and now they
would like to ascertain his where
abouts. Of course there is no such an
organization as he pretends to repre-
|'sent.
This fellow is reported to be driving
an automobile bearing the legend
"License Applied For" and is accom-
panied by a woman.
Men working on the highways
should be on the lookout for this cor
