COMPLIMENTS MR. PRICE.

A Yankton, So. Dakota, paper pays Titus E. Price, a former Jasper county young man and a brother of County Surveyor Price, a handsome compliment in its report of court proceedings there. Unlike hia brother Myrt, Titus is a stanch democrat and stands very high in Yankton. The article says: “Titus E. Price was another member of the Yankton bar that came very much into prominence during the term, chiefly, of course through his defense of Sam Carr, which is conoeded to have been most clever and successful as he started out with heavy odds against his client, yet reduced the sentence to four years. Mr. Price was, however, fully as much in the foreground in his defense of George Neefe in one of the gambling cases. In this case Mr. Price seized the opportunity to go on record in what is known as the “syndicate” affair. His showing up of that gambling organization is probably one of the most powerful on record. He clearly showed that Mr. Neefe was the victim of persecution for daring to encoach on preserves claimed by others, and that the raiding of the rooms over Mr. Neefe’s saloon was not at all an effort at reform, but purely a move dictated by the “powers that be.” In this speech Mr. Price received as many compliments as he did in his Carr murder trial victory.”
