A decision was HANDED doFn bysthe
supreme court in st: Paul III the famous
case of Tennis Slingerland, Jr., against
his father, Tennis Slingerland. The
case had been in the courts for I've
years The dispute was over tract Of
land in 0lmsteads county valued at
s.bout $50, 200. It appears that Singer
land, Jr., had worked for his father q
long time, and asshis compensation was
not forthcoming. he commenced spit
against the old man in the district
court. Finally the father proposed that
il the son would lropthe case incourt,
get married ! and settle down
he would present him with the
farm. The son agreed. He took q
wife and went on a wedding tour.
When he returned he expected to find
the farm awaiting his pleasure. In
stead of this the old man told him he
could go and buy: q farm If he wanted
one. The SON brought suit against his
father to recover the farm. He was
beaten and obtained e new trial and
won. The father then took the case to
the supreme court. Here the son again
won his case. Then the father took q
second appeal, trying to get new
trial. Judge Dickinson refused to grant
this, however, and the son will own
the farm, which has been increasing in
value all the time the case has been in
court and is now worth comfortable
fortune. -. ..
