The jury in the case of Weston against
Braslan, returned a verdict for the plainJiH
yesterday for s2Ol9SO, after being out a
short time The suit involves a real estate
deal made by f. H. Odell in 1890, when he
acted as the agent in selling forty acres of
land in this county for Weston to Braslan
and j. ~ Baldwin The price agreed upon
by the plaintiff was $4,000 but on representa-
tiors made by the agent, Odell, the amount
stated in the deed was $4,000. Thls dlher-
ence was balanced between Odell and weston
by the latter giving him notes to cover IL
Odell discounted these at the Citizens state
bank Some time after the transaction Bras
Ian and Baldwin discovered that Si,5OO was
the only consideration that Weston had re-
ceived and in order to satisfy them, Weston
released one of the $1,000 notes given by
them for the land This was done, however,
with the understanding that they were to
protect Weston against the notes he ha
given to Odsll. and which had been assigned
to the bank This was not done, and judg-
ment was secured against Weston, and the
mortgage foreclosed which the bank held.
Suit was then brought by Weston against
Braslan and Baldwin to recover the amount
