DUNN COUNTY
JUDGE UPHELD
IN DECISION
Contractors BOndsmen Liza
bic For Debts When Pay.
ment Is Refused

When road contractors hire horses
and machinery for use in their work
and then refuse to pay for them.
their bondsmen are liable for the
debt, the supreme court has held in
the case Of Yarger Brothers VS.. The
Dakota Trust company, appealed
from Dunn county. The court held,
however, that in the case at bar the
trust company was. not liable for
bills for gasoline and oil incurred by
the bonded contractor. The decision
modified prior decision by the
Dunn County district court which
held that the Trust company was
liable for all the bills incurred by
the bonded contractor.
In it's opinion the court held that
the items covered in such bonds de-
pend upon the terms and language
Of the bond in question.
Rcverscs Adams Court
Reversing the Adams county dis
trict court, the supreme court order
ed new trial in the case Of the Vii
lagc Of Reedcr VS.. Severt ard John
Hanson.
The village sought certain land
owned by the Hanson's for street
purposes and launched condemnation
proceedings which were contested by
the owners. Numerous errors claim
cd by the Hnnsons in their appeal
to the supreme court were rejected
but one point was upheld and the
case remandcd for that reason. The
point reversed was one in which a
witness has been permitted to tcsti-
fy in general terms as to the cost of
land bought by the township for road
purposes. Such evidence, it was
held, is inadmissible for the purpose
of proving the value of the land in
volved.
The supreme court affirmed an
order Of the Hettinger county dis
trict court granting a new trial in the
case of Mike B. Martin VS.. Floyd
l.. Parkins and Maxine Parkins,
his son. A jury in district
court had granted Martin damages
for the death of child killed by the
automobile of the defendants, but
the district court ordered a new trial
on the ground that the verdict was
contrary to the evidence. The su-
prcme court held that the lower
tribunal had not abused it's discre-
ton.

Great Demand Being
Shown For Lee Tires

Certain spots in the automotive
industry may show no great signs
Of life but the Lee tire plant at
Conshohocken according to Bismarck
Accessory 4 Tire company, the local
dealer, is about the liveliest place
in the country.
So great has been the demand Tor
the new Lee Balloon that the factory
is way behind in filling these orders.
The new Iceland tires, one bal
loon for Fords, Stars and Chevrolcts,
the other Il full high pressure line,
are making such mileage records,
and are selling at such an acceptable
price that it is almost impossible to
make them fast enough.
The old faithful Puncture Proof
is going strong and the Heavy Duty
Shoulderbilt is in greater demand
than ever.
The Bismarck Accessory & Tire
company is very enthusiastic over
the full Lee line and reports a most
healthy business.

New owners of the Whippet Six
are amazed at the unusual speed
development Of the car. its fast pick

it is handled especially in heavy city
traffic. While high speed is not
claimed, owners report speeds Of 60
miles an hour or better and an ability
to maintain it easily without work

1t has shown remarkable response
to any demand Of the driver under
the most adverse conditions.
The low center of gravity type Of
construction employed in the Whip

to its unusual performance. The
weight of the car is carried close to
the ground thus providing a road
stability and riding comfort not
found in any other light six on the
American market.
Spaciousness Of the interiors is an
other feature of the Whippet Six
that has made a distinct impression
on the motor car buyers. Ample
roomincss for the driver and the oc-
cupants is provided assuring real
comfort on long trips.
