A RELIC OF LAST YEARS "BooM."-In
Department One of the Superior Court
yesterday the case of John +. Fenton VS.
E. X. Aisip was tried and the defendant
granted nonsuit. During the ''town lot
speculation last summer Fenton contracted
to purchase from Alsip, as agent, two lots
described as lots and 6, block between q
ard 2, Twenty second and Twentv-third
streets, fer $500. To bind the bargain
Fenton deposited as part payment 81 900
subsequently when the deeds had been
made out Fenton discovered that the lots
he had intended to buy were in block O
and 2, Twenty first and Twenty-second
streets. He therefore sued for the recovery
of his 81, 900. It was developed during the
trial that Alsip had offered TO refund $500
of the money. Judge w. II. Beatty. de.
PENDANTS attorney, moved for nonsnit on
the ground that the title to the property
was now vested in Fenton the deed having
been executed, and furthermore, because
the proceeding was not a proper one. With
this showing the desired motion was
granted. In all probability a suit to set
aside the deed will be commenced or an
appeal taken.
