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.
