COURT 1MSTKUCTS A VKKU1CT Plalallir Wins In Insurance suit Agulatt Laup City Township la the suit of the National Life li surance company of Veraiont against Loup City township, Sherman coun ty lo recover interest on bonds is sued to the Sherman County Irriga tion and Power company. jury in Judge .McPherson's court rendered a verdict in favor of plaintiff upon in structions to do so from the court. The amount of tlie verdict was £1. 441, being the amonat of interest due on the coupons that have ma tured. This ia one af the instances in which the officials of the township ^ were too confiding. The township voted bonds in the aum of £10,0110 ii aid of an irrigation company, and without waiting for the completion •f conatructiwa, the oflcials of the township delivered the bonds to the com puny and they were sold. Then after constructing about two miles of the ditch the company abandon ed the work, which was never com pleted. The bonds, however, had been sold to irnocent purchasers.— Omaha Bee. iho above clipping horn tbe »ea, is self explanatory as far as tbe trial is concerned, but in regard to tbe ditch Doing built but two miles is a mistake. The ditch was fiuished nearly thirteen miles or from Arca dia to Loup City, but was never completed as it was arranged to De, as the agreement was to extend it ‘some twelve miles below Loup City. For all the benefit it has been to the township it might just as well stop ped before it was commenced, as the way it has been manipulated, since its completion there lias been no water in it only when it raiued since the second year after. The railroad company was the party who cauaad the estoppel of the collecting of the taxes to liquidate the present accu '' mulation of iaterest, and now since the suit has gone against us we caa go to work at once and levy a tax aullicient to tuke care of this our crowning piece of follv. It is worse than pacing for the proverbial dead horse, and we immngine the next party or parties who asks for bonds in Loup City township had belter speak for a harp beforehand. Our people have been gulled to the limit of endurance and the ghost of mis placed confidence gtins at us from aeveral corners, and from frequent appearances the stable is not secu rely bolted yet. The ditch is a good one aa far as it was built and iu tie hands »f pr«p«r partita could be made to pay. It would be a graai benefit to the community if in opera tion but is going to wrack and ruin for want of proper handling. The northern hills in South Dako ta in the vicinity of Lead and Dead wood were treated to a heavy June snow storm this year. The South African war is still drawing out its weary and bloody length with little prospects of an early termination. The Boers have taken on renewed activity oflateard are carrying a relentless war into Capo Colony. If such conditions can he maintained by the Boers much longer the British will he com pelled to sue for peace. “The initial letter ‘J’ ” says the Philadelphia Record figured prom inently in the recent great finan cial game in Wall street.
