ANOTHER INTERESTING DECISION
In the St. Paul papers of Saturday
last, we find the following in the Su-
preme Court report:
Elihu Smith, appellant, vs.. James NJ.
lytle, ct. AL, respondents. Syllabus ::
A sale III execution of an estate in fee
in real property. where the judgment
debtor has only All equitable interest
therein, under Il contract of purchase.
and such interest only is authorized
and directed to be sold by the process,
is void as against the vendor in the con-
tract, or his grantee who holds the legal
title and has IL prior lien upon the prop
erty for the unpaid purchase money.
Indignant reversed. CORNELL. J.
This is another case of considerable
local interest. 1t has been running for
some years and the printers as we'll as
the lawyers have reaped something of a
harvest from it. We have done consid-
cradle printing for Smiths attorney,
Emory Clark, and the Journal has done
considerable for Thompson's attorney,
D. Rohrer.
The case was one involving the pos
session of the Lackor property on Fifth
Avenue. Lackor borrowed 4 consider
able sum of money of Banker Smith
| and gave mortgage OH the house. JAS.
NJ. Lytle, the carpenter, put a mechan-
ic's lein on the house. Peter Thompson
purchased the mechanics lein title
and thus the litigation began. Judge
Dickinson decided in favor of Thomp-
sou who took possession of the proper
ty and has put some hundreds of dollars
wo:th Of improvements upon the prem
ises. The Supreme Court now reverses
the decision of the lower court and we
suppose Smith will take the property.
THE T,HERSHER.
Capt. Miller, of Graham Lakes,
threshed 20 acres of wheat and the aver
age per acre was 16t bushels.
Some of Jas. Barnett's wheat in
Grand Prairie went 2G to q bushels to

II. NJ. 1Iolbrook, of Leota, had a yield
of IS bushels of wheat to the acre.
Charley Dow of Ransom, threshed on

went as high as 20.
