William Frederick, of Alton. says
Tuesday between 10 and II o'clock a

At the most pronounced period Of the
sound wave, when the noise came from
directly underneath him, there was felt
very plainly perceptible tremor of the
ground, the noise and trembling lasting
between one and two minutes. Other
farmers in the neighborhood west of
Frederick agree with him in describing
the terrestrial phenomenon, and some
add that light articles of household us e
were moved by the physical disturb
ance. All say that the wave moved
from west to east.

Pine Lands. Grain and Tax Sales

Judge Collins filed three decisions in
the supreme court yesterday:
Joseph P. Thwing ct AL, appellants, VS..
The Hall Il Ducey Lumber Company.
This was an action brought to recover
the purchase price of quantity of pine
land which defendant corporation had
contracted TO buy of the plaintiffs, and
which the latter had agreed to sell for
stipulated sum of money. The defend
ant admitted the contract and its refusal
to comply with its terms, only presenting
an equitable defense, praying f de-
cree of the court to annul the contract
and release the firm from all liability
thereon. On its finding of fact, only
one point of which was attacked, the
trial court of Hennepin county Or
dered judgment for the defendantaS de-
manded. From this judgment plaintiff
appealed to the supreme court.
yllabuS-Affirmative or defensive
relief, such as the circumstances Of the
case may require, may be granted from
the consequences of a mistake of any
fact which is material element in the
transaction and which is not the result
of the mistaken party's own violation of

adequate remedy at law. Whenever a
defendant against whom specific per-
formance is demanded has fallen into
mistake which the plaintiff by his acts
or omissions induced or made probable,
or to which he contributed, the agree
ment should not be enforced, provided
the parties can be restored to or have
not changed their original positions.
From the facts in this case as they ap-
pear from the evidence, held that the
court did not err in ordering Judgment
for the cancellation Of the contract.
