JUDGMENT ON NOTE UPHELD IN HIGH COURT Supreme Court Also Rules in Several Other Cases Before It A judgment of $9,000, for a $5,000 note and $4,000 interest, obtained by o. L. Engen, as receiver of the Citizens State Bank of Edgeley, against the Medberry Farmers Equity Elevator, N. J. Paulson, A. H. Carow and other individuals, members of the board of directors of the elevator company, who did not appeal, was affirmed in a decision handed down by the supreme court. The court, in affirming the decision of District Judge M. J. Englert, held that "an irregular endorser of a negotiable promissory note is entitled to the rights of a regular endorser and that "a negotiable promissory note, payable in a named village, but without designating any particular place within the village, is sufficiently presented, so as to charge endorsers." Other decisions handed down today by the court include: Ellen Doyle and Agnes Reineke, plaintiffs and appellants, against William J. Doyle, defendant and respondent, an appeal from Ramsey county involving a conveyance of real estate, in which decision was for the respondent. Edla H. Fyten, plaintiff and respondent, vs. A. J. Cummins and C. M. English, defendants and appellants, an action to have a land purchase contract cancelled, in which decision in favor of the former was modified and affirmed. That pottion of the lower court's decision which gave Fyten recovery of $6,113.55 from A. J. Cummins was stricken out. The effort of Golden Valley countv to recover from E. J. Curtin and B. J. McKay on a depository bond, executed by the First National Bank of Beach, which the latter two signed as sureties, failed in the attempt to attach land in Iowa. The lower court's decision for the defendants was upheld, the court holding the attachment was unlawful.
