LOCAL ATTORNEYS IN CASE

Kingsbury County Independent-The
circuit court a occupied Friday with
the trial Of a case growing out of a
lane deal in the eastern part of the
county III the land boom days. VIM.
kuehn had sold a half-section to VIM.
Rumple for $4,000 down on a contract.
Rumple then sold to Mrs. VIM. Dodge
on a contract, with a total of $4,000
paid. AS conditions changed Rumple
did not make good, and Mrs. Dodge
quit making payments. Rumple was
sued by Kuehn for performance under
contract. and then Rumple sued Mrs.
Dodge for performance under contract.
1t was the latter suit that was deter
mined Friday. Olaf Eden and Judge
Alexander of B%rookings, represented
the plaintiff. Rumple. and VIM. II.
Warren Of this city, and Philo Hall of
Brookings, represented the defendant,
that the Defendant, Dodge, a justi-
fled in disseminating payments under
the contract, owing to the fact that
Rumple had been sued under his con
and could not deliver a deed. The
court upheld the contention of the de
and put the case out OF court.
This is n of many cases arising out
of the land boom where nearly all of
the parties are losers. Kuehn only re
$4,000 for the use Of the half
for several years, M Mrs.
is out the $4,000, less whatever
she might have received from
the land while held under contract.
Those good old boom days are omo
thing we hope will never come again.

WEATHER PREDICTIONS

for practical use an az science in
weather forecaStine. This science is
based on the %equinoXes of the earth

moon and planetary conjunctions.
Annually for thirty-fve years wea-
ther predictions based on this science
been given to several hundred
thousand readers through the medium
of the Hicks Almanac, now known as
the st. Louis Weather Book.
All the great hurricanes, tornadoes,
cyclones and general weather condi-

RULING ON DEALERS LICENSE

The question of who shall be re-

automobiles which came up recently
in this city has been answered by the
attorney general in a ruling in which
he defines a dealer and explains the
law. The g of the opinion follows:
Dealers licenses apply only to such
cars as are kept for the purpose Of
sale. Under section 1854 of the 1919
Revised Code, as amended by chapter
2GG, laws of 1919, demonstration cars
and ears used for hire are subject to

came to Brookings just a year ago and
has proven herself to be one of the

changes have been effected by Miss
Lyon, principally in the charging sys-

addition is the place Of her birth. so
