LARGE DAMAGE SUIT.
A damage suit was begun in the cir
cult court CT Rockingham at Harrison>
burg on Friday which excites much in>
terest, and involves all the features of
the land boom period of $780, Francis
b. Kemp of Roanoke city real estate
man is the plaintiff and is suing Mr..
Henry A. Bear, the proprietor of the
Bear Lithia Springs for SAG, 900 damages.
In April, 1890, Kemp secured an option
from. Bear on the famous Bear Lithia
Springs property; it ran until the LIST of
July, at which time So 200 was to have
been paid; $1,000 already having been
put up as cash forfeit. The July pay
ment was not met, but an extension of
the option was said to have been exc
cuted few days prior to it's expiration
until November 1st. Late in October
checks for $4,000. with interest, were
rendered Mr. Bear and deed demanded,
but the tender was declined and the
deal fell through. Kemp had the prop
erty sold at that time to a boom syndi-
cate in Roanoke at an advance of SAG, 600,
and he now makes this the measure of
his loss by the performance of the
defendants contract. The d efence
pleads fraud in the extension of the OPP
ton. Defendant is a deaf mute, and
teacher at the D. d. & b. Institute here,
and it is asserted that he was induced
to sign the second paper under pres
sure.
This case was given to the jury on
Tuesday afternoon under Judge Nc
Laughlin's instructions, which were ex>
cepted to by the plaintiff. The claim for
damages was eliminated and the issue
confined to q recovery of the cash pay
ment Of $1,000 which bound the option.
The jury failed to agree and were adj
journed until Wednesday morning, still
failing to agree they were discharged
