First National
Wins a Suit In
County Court
The case of the FirFt National bank
vs. r. A. Dalu was heard in county
court Tuesday afternoon. The case was
a suit brought by the tirst National
bank against the defendant to recover
785, the amount of a promissory
note originally given by Mr. Bald to
the A. H. Jones company in partial
payment on the purchase of ah auto
mobile, and later purchased Dy tne
bank. Eald did not dispute the note,
but contended that he should have had
a credit for the full amount of the note
or more. $800. for damage done to
the car while in the possession of the
A. IL Jones company. After hearing
the testimony Judge Tafh allowed the
plaintiffs judgment for the full amount
of the note, less ,$I4U allowed
lor damasre to the car. In the tes
timony it was brought out that Bald
valued the car at $1,500 before it was
damaged and afterward Eold it for
$1,300, so Judge Tash based his rieci-
lon on that tact luither deducting a
carace bill of $60.
The nanlc was represented Dy uoyd,
Meta & Meyer, while Burton & Red
dish appeared for the defendant.
She wa the sweetest, most inno
cent little girl he had ever seen, and
he watched her sympathetically as she
stood knee-deep in the snow, fumbling
in her handbag with teai-3 of vexa
tion in her eves.
"May I help you?" he asked gently,
not wishing to frighten her.
She smiled shyly.
"Yes," she ansyered, "will you
roll thy Cigarette for me."

Five Per Cent Salary Cut.
The first step towards reduced state
expenditures and taxation by the spe
cial session of the legislature to be
called by Governor McKelvie in Feb
ruary was taken luesday afternoon
when the governor met with thirty
five heads of expending departments.
While the meeting was a prelimi
nary step it was almost definitely con
cluded that there- shall be a & per
cent reduction in all salaries on all
amounts over $1,000 in the case of all
officers and employees whose pay is
set by the legislature. I his cut as
planned will reduce $164,000 annual
ly. Secretary of Finance Phil Bross pro
duced the figures showing how much
money each department has spent so
far this biennium in proportion to the
appropriation. The report showed till '
departments have expended $8(10,000 j
les than was appropriated.
The state university, the largest,
sintrle item of expense, was represent
ed by I K. Gunderson, chief account-
, .11. I Al -
ant. uunderson said u any reuueuuns
are made they must be in the commer
cial activities. The salary cut, he said,
would hit the university hardest of any
department.
The state board ot control declared
that it could effect little reduction.
A. E. Allyn, representing the board,
declared five new buildings are badly
needed. I
Nearly all the other departments
signified that they could effect re
ductions to some extent, except the
state normal schools, represented by
Colonel T. J. Majors, Tern, who said
he could not volunteer a definite state-1
ment. I
Secretary Antles, department of
public welfare, said he could continue
cutting under his appropriation.
