dora in June, 1921. The Everetts
estate had won a $4,000 verdict and
the McNeer estate thousand dollar
verdict.
McNeer and Everetts, employed by
the Northern Pacific, were part Of q
crew of six working on a stretch Of
track near Medora. On June II
1921 there was terrific rainstorm in
the territory, and the waters from
the hills converted the ravines into
plunging streams. The section crew
was ordered out to patrol the North
ern Pacific track. A sudden wall of
water swept against the enbank-
ment. Three Of the crew reached a
high point and were safe. Everetts,
McNeer and one, other did not reach
the high ground and they were
swept away and drowned.
The decision of the court, by Judge
Nuessle, holds that "a railroad Sec
tIon crew must assume the danger
incident to the duties but that
"while a railroad section Grew, one of

"it is the duty of master to warn
his servants of any unusual or ex-
traordinary danger which may arise
by reason of their carrying out his
instructions and of which they are
unaware"
The court held that the record did
not show a failure on the part of
the railroad company to exercise
reasonable care under the circum-
stances as disclosed. The decision
was by Justice Nuessle and three 9TH
er members of the court. Chief JUS
tice Bronson dissented.

Action There

Burleigh county's budget for the
ensuing year has been fixed by the
county board Of commissioners ut
32,427.O0, exclusive of interest and

The budget is higher than last
year, it being about 100000 in 1922.
The budget last year did not prove
adequate. it is stated by county Of
ficials. There is a shortage on the
levy, not actually determined as yet,
but which may result in county Of
ficials and employees not being paid
on September 1. The board had ad-
vertised the sale of certificates Of
Indebtedness on September 4, and il
they are sold salaries will be met.
The tax levy will not be fixed un.
til the state board of equalization
has acted upon the county boards
figures, and deductions provided by
law are made. No estimate can be
made by County Auditor Johnson as
to how the mill levy will compare
with last year, at this time.

Apparently Sundbakken had been

Indications were that six blows had
