High Court Jury Agrees
on Five Questions.
Findings up to Judge.

A jury last week brCIght a verdict
in the case of G. j. Seipp ct al vs..
Howard Caldwell ct al, being the Bur-
ton equity VS.. the Cassville equity.
This case was tried last February bu.
the jury hung" six and six.
The case took several DAYS to try
and the result was a victory for the
Cassville men, so court attaches
opine. The jury's verdict is given be-
low and the reader may draw his own
conclusions. From this verdict Judge
S. E. Smalley will make deductions
and render decision to be announced
later.
The form of questions and answers
from the jury were as follows
Was the car of sugar at Ice per
pound ordered by the plaintiffs be-
fore the defendants had agreed to take
any part thereof? Ans.-Yes.
2-Was the car load of sugar pur-
chased by the plaintiffs at &c per or
dered by the plaintiffs prior to the
meeting Of the Burton local in May,
1920, at which meeting Howard CAD
we'll, Ben Bausch and VIM. Gates were
present? Answer-Yes.
Show many sacks of sugar did the
Il
load of sugar purchased by the plain
titfs at &c a pound? Answer-44
sacks.
4-When the plaintiffs found that
all the sugar was not taken after it's
arrival at Cassville did they use due
diligence in selling what was left on
their hands for the best price that
could be obtained therefor? Answer
No.
5-What was the fair market value
per pound in hundred pound Quanti=
ties at Cassyille on July "a, 1920, of
sugar of the kind and quality nur-
chased by the plaintiffs? Answer
28c per pound, i
Going back on an old story on April
"a, 1920, the Burton equity ordered
carload of sugar or 600 sacks at 16c
per pound. The Cassville equity had
agreed to take a third of car load or
200 sacks at this price.
On May Is the Burton equity met to
learn that Ice sugar was myth but
that car of &c sugar could be had.
Messrs. Gates, Bausch and Caldwell
were present at the meeting
Here hung the point of the case.
Seipp, Burton secretary, asked Cad
well if they (Cassville) would take
their share. He contends that Cad
well said: "Cassville will take care
of it," or words to that effect Cad
well contends that he said he would
have "to find out first" or words to
that effect.
On May 20, 1920, the equity voted
to recorder and on July "a the sugar
arrived at Cassville. Various Cass-
vile men drove up to the car and
took sugar to the amount of about 80
sacks at 27c. Then deliveries to
Cassville stopped.
The suit was to recover The differ
ence in cash between 81 sacks and 200
sacks at $27 a sack, or about $4,186,
plus interest from July 1920, to date.

Program at Platteville
Last Friday Night.
Parker Makes Address.

Grant county bankers to the num-
Der of one hundred met at the Legion
hall, PlatteVille, Thursday evening
for their annual banquet. Following
an excellent plate dinner an interest
ing program was rendered.
c. H. Baxter of the Union State
Bank, opened with few remarks and
stressed among other things the i'm
portance of developing confidence. In
tegrity, conservatism, upright con-
duct and sagacious business dealing
were the requirements laid down by
MIR. Baxter as a means of developing
confidence in the community for the
bank.
A w. Kopp of Platteville, welcom-
ed the guests in a happy vein saying
that he had been asked to substitute
for other more timorous hosts. 81
have substituted for everything but a
corpse at a funeral" said Mr. Kopp.
The fluent manner in which Mr.. Kopp
welcomed guests made the reporter
think that he might do well even as a
corpse substitute The guests were
made to feel that the keys OF big
hearted" Platteville were theirs dur
ing the visit there.
David James of Montfort, replied
for the guests, saying that he felt
abashed to follow a lawyer and an
orator. Beginning humorously Mr..
James closed with an earnest appeal
for personal uprightness on the part
of the banker, Fe deplored the ten
dency Of the age toward frivolity and
extravaganza and said that our day
was commercialiZing the most sacred
holidays, and causes.
Hon. D. T. Parker Of Madison, state
banking commissioner, talked next on
the duties and liabilities of banking
directors. Necessarily at length, Mr..
Parker's address was intensely inter
esting and closely followed He sad
that it would be almost impossible
and enormously expensive for the
state to carry enough examiners TO
make an audit of every state bank
Outlining the duties Of directors, Mr..
Parker put the responsibility for u
banks affairs squarely up to them,
holding that laxness was little short
of criminal carelessness.
Mr.. Parker said in part:
81 am indeed glad to have this OPP
portunity of meeting so many of the
bankers of my home county and to
have the privilege of presenting to
you some thoughts that l deem per-
tinent to your welfare and vital to
your interests as bankers. However,
before doing so l want to offer a hum :
BILE tribute to my lifelong and esteem
ed friend, the Honorable President OF
your Association, Senator Baxter.
Since the days of by boyhood l have
known and respected him and when
later 1 engaged in business his name
was an inspiration to me and l hoped
to emulate his character which was
always that of an honest, honorable
and upright man.

THREE HARRYS
OUT HUNTING:
HOME IS BEST

Harry Gault and Harry Wenzel re-
turned Saturday from So. Dakota,
where they went on business and
hunting. Shooting was poor-the
boys saw only three ducks on the trip
and Harry Gualt got one. Western
marksmen told the boys the feathered
game had migrated west of the Mis-
souri, and they did not feel inclined to
go 500 miles further west. Harry
Gault also bagged Chinese COCK
pheasant. These birds make a meal
for four people. They carry bright
plumage and can whip game cock.
Licking domestic roosters is pleasant
diversion for the Chinese article.
The other Harry Concealed until
now is Harry Kilburg. Harry lives
on the hill above the ice pond. The
other morning he went down and
bagged three mallards.
Sometimes shooting is better at
home than away from home.

LOCAL STORES
PREPARED FOR
FALL DEMAND

Lancaster stores are showing a fine
lot of new merchandise for the fall
and winter season. Looking around
one finds just "scads" of new things
in the latest styles and finest quality.
Women who plan their fall wardrobe
early will find the stores ready for
them. Don't be carried away with
the false idea that you can buy your
fall needs cheaper somewhere else.
for it can't be done. You can buy the
same article here at home and value
for value the home merchant will give
more for the dollar than the big city
store. Do your fall and winter shop
ping in Lancaster. 1t will mean great
er satisfaction for you and greater
prosperity for the community.

Annual Migration
of Wild Fowl.

Huge f1ockS Of ducks can be heard
nightly migrating south. This is an
annual indication of the approach OF
winter as the birds seem to know in
stinctiyely when time comes to move
south to warmer quarters. The mi
grafton track runs from the Gulf Of
Mexico to Hudson Bay, a distance of
1000 miles. Unerringly ducks fOllON
this broad track, going north in the
spring to the summer nesting grounds
and back south in the winter to their
pleasant little coves and bays along
the southern seaboard The semi-an-
nual migration of feathered life is one
of the wonderful phases of nature, UNI
changed in thousands of years.
Shooting is allowed in the fall but
the birds do not tarry long and suffer
little from the hunters. Shooting is
forbidden in the spring and eventually
with good reason, the senseless killing
of wild fowl will be stopped alto
gether. The primitive man, killing
flesh to live had a good argument
The sportsman who kills for the fun
of it has no argument at all.

The case of Mrs. Julia NJ Gundlach

to Livingston about dusk collided
with a buggy in which Nelson Gund-
ZACH, 81, son of Mrs. Julia Gundlach,
was riding Gundlach was thrown
from the rig and his spine broken. He
fingered for six months, paralyZed
from the neck down, and died of his
injuries on Feb. 10, 1922.
Plaintiff alleged that defendants
were driving without lights and un-
able to properly see what they were
doing. A lack of care and use of ex-
cessive speed under dangerous cir
cumstances was alleged.
1t is said that the defense saw their
liability but preferred to take a jury
trial leaving the amount of compGn
sation to II unprecedented persons.
This decision was subsequent to a
fruitless effort to arrive at settle
ment.
The questions and answers as sub
mitted to and propounded by the jury
were in substance as follows:
Ibid the defendants while APP
preaching the buggy and immediate
" before the collision between their
automobile and the buggy in which
Nelson Gundlach was riding fail to
exercise ordinary care in the opera
ton of their automobile? Answer
Yes.
2-Was such lack of ordinary care
the proximate cause of injury to Mel
son Gundlach? Answer-Yes.
3-Did want of care by Nelson
Gundlach contribute to produce his
injury? Answer-No.
4-Wnat sum would reasonably
compensate Nelson Gundlach for
damage caused by injury, for hos
pital and medical care? $1,351. For
burial expenses? $449.
What sum will compensate mother
for loss of services of son? Answer
None.
Mrs. Gundlach asked for $4,000
damages and $2,509.01 for disburse-
ments following the injury The de-
tense endeavored to show that the
young man had been an invalid for
some spinal complaint preceding the
accident The Baileys say they were
on their way to a garage to have the
lights fixed when the accident oc-

Magnanimity.

Magnanlmity.
In his address before the assem-
bled bankers at Platteville Thursday
night, d. T. Parker, state banking
commissioner, and head of the Fen
nimore State Bank, paid high COM
pliment to another bank Of this cOun-
ty. His words can be read in press
report of the meeting in another
column.
big" men are generally magnani-
NOUS They spend their energies in
constructive work They have time
to applaud the efforts of others and
be helpful and sympathetic even with
a competitor Maybe, that's why
they became successful.
Little" men waste their energ: es
in hatred and spite Time and time
again we have heard such men knock
other men just because they were
getting along WELL minding their own
business and holding up their end,
To see another man succeed enrages
a failure. Maybe, that's why they
stay failures.

Is a Hunting License a
License to TrCSpaSS!

A farmer asks the Herald by what
right does the state issue licenses to
hunt over his land? He wants tC
know how people arrive at the con-
clusion that because they carry 4
license they can run all over his farm
shooting at game, maybe shooting or
soaring stock, breaking fences, etc?
The farmers point is we'll taken.
We wonder also why people think
they have a right to walk in on some
farmers premises without permission
and shoot at will. The reason prob
ably is an innate assumption that
while the land belongs to the farmer
the game doesn't and therefore can
be taken with impunity.
Matters are getting so bad and
complaints are so many that some
thing must be done. In general VIC
consider it not only courtesy but
fairness to go first to the farmer and
ask permission. If permission IS
granted-go hunting. If forbidden
move on. Don't trespass, it's illegal
and really outrageous.

Flashes
"Life is Short Tell the Truth"
Every Family Able to Afford it
Should Have a Motor Car.

Driving Sundays during this beaut-
iful fall weather one notices the roads
filled with traffic Fine cars, sleek
cars, medium cars, fair cars, rotten
cars, crumbs, trucks-all filled with
happy people out for recreation in
Gods blessed sunshine. The Almighty
must approve else why the fine fall
weather?
This is as it should be. We only
live once All should enjoy life and
the fullness thereof-not just chosen

In Grant county the car percentage
runs about one to an family Regard
less of the type of locomotion the
pleasure is there and the recreation is
there. Rightly used, a motor car is
