The forenoon session of the First district |
court yesterday was occupied in taking testi-
mony in the Johnson VS.. Ginger ejectment suit.
Tue status of the case appears to be that Mr..
Johnson, an old gentleman living north of
Provo. made many years ago promise to his
daughter that a certain piece of property should
some day become hers, and that ne would have
the deed made to her or her husband, Mr..
Ginger. The latter has lived upon a1d i'm
proved the property for twelve years. In the
meantime it has enhanced in value to the
amount of few thousand dollars. No deed
having been made by the old man to the de-
PENDANT he brings suit for ejectment.
The testimony of the defense shows a perma-
nent residence since 1881 and some valuable I'M
provements. The plaintiff is br nging forward
testimony TO establish .ohnsonS claim TO the
property and that Ginger personally has no
right to remain in occupancy of the property.
The jury in the case of John G. Sharp vs..
Nelson Brothers ct al found verdict for the
plaintiff aggregating about Sl,500 johnson
