Jensen A Candidate
For Commissioner

Chris Jensen, who lives 10 miles
southwest of Wcstby and about 6
miles north Of Coalridge, near the
Blue Trail 10 mile east Of Plentywood
has announced his candidacy for
County Commissioner on the Republi-
can ticket.
The Westby territory has never had
a county official and two years ago
withdrew their candidate for County
Commissioner in favor Of Victor An
ker of Outlook. They went out and
boosted for Anker with all their
might, and saw hat he was elected in
spite Of the fact that he was a can
didate on the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Jensen did not seek the office.
If elected he will have to surrender
part of his voluminous duties which
is placed on his shoulders by his
friends and neighhors, as he is not
only a mighty successful farmer. but
is also president of the Farmers Grain
g. Trading Co. of Westby; president
of the Farmers Telephone Company
of Westby, as well as manager Of the
Farmers Shipping Association.
Mr.. Jensen located on the home
stead, which he still occupies, 81 years
ago. Since then he has secured set
tiers to live on every farm around
there, has been instrumental in get
ting a good school and church for the
community, and knows practically ev-
cry man, woman and child by their
first name throughout the east part of
the County. He is admired and look
ed up to by all who know him, and we
believe that Mr.. Jensen will be one
Of the strongest candidates for the
Commissionership that has filed up to
this time.
His announcement appears else
where in this issue.

Appeal from Sheridan County. Do
lin bought mortgaged lands then in
possession Of Watcher, and the two
entered into what he claims to have
been a cropping agreement and Wat
cher asserts was a lease, for three
years from 1924. Dolin then sold the
land reserving in himself the right
to receive the rents and profits for
the whole term. The mortgage was
foreclosed in 1926, the buyer mort

ferring the sheriff's certificate to
Watcher. The question then arose
who vas entitled to the 1926 rent in
the shape of a share Of the crop there

claiming that he was entitled to the
same share that he had received
Heretofore under the agreement max
ing Watcher a cropper and not a ten

was Dolin's tenant and having ac-
quired the certificate of sale was en-
titled to the whole years rent. The

plaintiff to receive the rent up to the
time the said property was

inion by Mr.. Chief Justice Galloway.
Held, that the agreement between
the parties was a lease and not a crop

that the parties so construed it them

that therefore plaintiffs share of the
crop must be treated as rent.
Held, that Dolin, when he sold the
land in question, had the right to re-
serve to himself the rents and profits
to accrue to him during the term of
the lease entered into with Watcher;
that the latter was liable to pay the
rent to plaintiff so long as he had a
right to collect it; that when the land
was sold under foreclosure he lost
that right, the purchaser then becom-
