late peaches are: Southern counties s.

1t is probable that the ground was
never so dry in Michigan at the usual
time of wheat sowing as this year. The
average rainfall in the State in August
was 2.0l inches, and in September
about | 80 inches. While these figures
show a deficiency each month as COM
pared with the normal, they do not
convey any idea of the severity of the
drouth. The rainfall during the latter
part of August and most of September
was mostly in the northern counties
and upper peninsula. Since about the
middle OF August the average rainful
in the southern and central counties,
where nInety-six per cent of the wheat
crop is grown, has not been sufficient
to be of appreciable benefit. The
ground is thoroughly dried out. Wheat
sOwed early has come up, but unevenly.
That sowed later was "dusted in" and
much of it will hardly grow, at least
not until rain comes. Many farmers
had not yet sowed on the first of Octo-
Der. They were still waiting for rain.

HEIGHT VS.. METzLER.
Supreme Court Reverses the Judg-
ment of the Lower Court.


The supreme court handed down an
opinion in the case of Charles Hecht,
appellant, Us. Joseph Metzler. The
opinion. which reverses the lower
court and grants a new trial, was
written by Justice Miner and con-
CURED in by Chief Justice Zane and
Justice Bartch.
The complaint alleges that on Aug
l, 1898, the plaintiff and defendant en-
tered into a contract in writing where
by the plaintiff on or before Sept. Is,
1893, was to convey TO defendant $3.50
acres of land and certain personal
property in the state of Colorado, in
consideration of the conveyance by the
defendant to the plaintiff, contempor-
aneously Herewith. of four parcels OF
real este re in Ogden City, Utah; that
the agreed value in the contract of the
Colorado property was $50 an acre anc
the agreed value of the Ogden proper
ties as expressed in the deeds from
defendant TO plaintiff was $4,000; that
the defendant made certain false and
fraudulent representations concerning
the improvements on the Ogden prop
critics, the rental value thereof and
the location of a portion thereof which
induced the plaintiff to enter into the
contract and execute it according to
its terms; that if said representations
ndO Deen true the SAID properties WOULD
have been worth $4,000, whereas in
truth and in fact they were worth only
$50, AS; that mutual conveyances We're
made in accordance with the terms of
the contract. The plaintiff then asks
for judgment for SS2.S55 and costs.
The answer denied all the material
allegations of the complaint respecting
the fraud and deceit; denied that pla<S>
tiff and defendant at any time agreed
upon price to be paid by plaintiff for
the ogden property or that the consid-
Grafton set out in this deed was under
stood to be the true value or consider
alton of either of the properties and
alleged that said amounts were. and
were distinctly understood to be, ficti-
tious and that the transaction was,
and was understood to be, a mere ex-
change or barter of real estate made
and completed after an examination
by each party respectively of the prop
erty he expected and ultimately re-
ceived. The answer further sets up that
the defendants Colorado property was
of no greater value than $4,000 and
defendant offered to reconvey and re-
deliver the whole thereof to the plain
tiff for that sum.
The action was tried and verdict anc
judgment were rendered for the de-
PENDANT, from which the plaintiff ap>
pealed, relying for a reversal on al
legged errors of law committed by the
court at the trial, and his contention
was upheld by the supreme bench.
