Jury fails to reach verdict
in Gunning Case
During the past week, the time of the Superior Court has been occupied almost entirely with the hearing of the cases arising out of the so-called Dudman notes.
Harry Dudman operated in this territory in 1919 and 1920, selling stock in the Bethlehem Gold Mines.
The notes were sold by him to the banks in different towns, a large number being purchased by the First National Bank of Ritzville of by the Pioneer National Bank before the two were consolidated. The bank because of the refusal of some signers to pay the notes, started suit for collection, which was resisted on the grounds there was bad faith on the part of the bank through its officers, in the purchase of the notes, so that they are not "innocent purchasers" as the legal term puts it, and consequently not entitled to collect on the notes.

Council nixes request
for $45,000 110 funds
It was a tough decision that covered two council meetings with over 95 minutes of comments at Tuesday night's meeting alone, but the Ritzville City Council ultimated voted 4-3 to not approve a large expenditure from its 110 tourism fund.
The Ritzville Area Chamber of Commerce had approached the council with a proposal to bring a blue tour of five top performers to Ritzville on Aug. 16. If accepted by the performers, that tour would cost the taxpayers $90,000 with $45,000 needed up front. The up front deposit was requested as a guarantee for the Blues Fest organizers to enter into a contract should the tour group accept the offer.
