WANTS HIS HALF TONES.
Custer Photographer Suing a Minister for His Pictures.
Custer, S. D., May 22.—George F. Harris, a Custer photographer, is instituting suit against John I. Sanford, formerly a Congregational minister of the Black Hills, to recover certain photographic plates that were taken in the Black Hills last summer by Mr. Harris, in company with Mr. Sanford.
Mr. Sanford was engaged early in the summer to prepare a souvenir booklet of Black Hills scenes, to be illustrated profusely with half-tone views. Sanford took Harris out with him for the purpose of getting the views, Sanford afterwards had the half-tone cuts made of the views, printed the booklet under a copyright, and has since sold a great many of them independent of the Black Hills Mining Men's association, by whom he had been engaged.
Harris now wants his plates to print other photographs from, and Sanford refuses to surrender them.
