Beadle county circuit court ruling for Huron Lodge No. 444 of the B P O E upheld by the state supreme court on rehearing. Hinckley had argued the note was an investment and that the lodge received no value for the note, but the court found sufficient consideration as the lodge spent funds on the Elks Building.
