BANK CASEIS
ON TRIAL IN
U. S. COURT
Suit Grows Out of Difficulties
of President of South
Dakota Bank

A jury in federal court today was
hearing case growing out of affairs
of Christian Borlander. who was
president of the First National bank
of Eureka, S. d., August IL, 1920,
when he shot himself.
The case. that of Paul Keyes, re-
ceiver of the Eureka bank against
the Security State Bank of Stras-
burg. North Dakota, is for $4,000, the
amount of note paid to the Secur
ity State bank. A note had been
sent to Strasburg and later was
taken up with draft of the Eureka
bank. 1t is claimed by the plaintiff
that the note actually was per-
sOnal note Of Borlander's and that
the banks money was used to pay
it.
At the time of the draft payment
Borlander's balance in his favor
appeared to be about $4,000. but
actually after his death it was found
to be overdrawn and Borlander was
short in the bank.
The plaintiff is represented by
James M. Brown of Aberdeen, and
Judge f. T. Burke of Bismarck, while
the defendant is represented by 4.
A. Dunham of Clark, S. d.
Another case, involving a some
what similar transaction but in
amount of $4,000, will also be tried.
In this case the FIRST National bank
of Linton is defendant.
A jury in the court returned a ver-
dict for the defendant in the case
of the Liberty State bank of Mime
apolis against the Farmers State
bank of Bowman.
Many of the jurors have been cx-
cused by Judge Miller and local men
called to take their places, the ac-
tion being taken to permit many
jurors to return to their homes.

STATE RECORD

Herd at State Insane Asylum
Makes Fine Showing

What is believed to be "A state rec
ord for milk production for hcrd,
of the same size in North Dakota
was established at the state hospital
for thet insane at jamestown, ne
cording to w. F. Reynolds, state
dairy commissioner, after reading the
report Of j. A. Barner,, tester.
while Il few straw-fed cows per
ished during the month of February
the Ga head Of Holstcins at the ST. te
hospital were busy making what is
probably state record for herd
Of this size, and we're doing it on
North Dakota grown feeds" said the
report of Mr. Barner. "These Ga head
of cows produced an average ct
l,l36 pounds of milk and 1916 pounds
of butterfat ma ratio nof corn sile
age, alfalfa, hay, ground oats, spell
and ban and about 20 pounds of man
gels daily. This is considered a re
markable record when one consider
that cows in this herd are at diffel-
ent stages of lactation periods near
ly every month of the year. 1t will
be voted from this that while there
are some cows in full flow, Others
were nearing the end of their lacta
tion period. Thehighest producer for
the month has 1860 pounds of milk
and 70 pounds of hutterfat."
The report added that this is not
an unusual record, for the herd N
maintaining this production durin.e
March.
At present there are two pure bred
sires and 18 pure bred females au
the hospital herd, with about 100

ual returns on incomes of $4,000 or
less were filed here and in addition
many corporation and partnership
returns.
The division office also is proving
of value to local business men and
those Of other towns in the western
part of the state, in that the division
office can receive reports on mis-
cellaneOus tax payments on the last
day of the month. Penalties, which
would be occasioned if the returns
had to &c to Fargo, thus are avoided.
The office, it is believed, also has
made possible closer checking up
on tax payments by the government,
with resultant increases in tax re-
ceipts.
