WILDCAT DEAL
A Useless Riverside Tract Traded for
Gilt-Edge Property


E. D. Brown has instituted a suit
against one j. A. McCarty to recover
$4,000 as damages for having his trust
abused and his confidence in his fellow
man shattered to the four winds O.
heaven, and it all came about in this
way:
Both Brown and McCarty owned GER
tain real estate, the former in the A. j
Painters subdivision of the Painter q
Ball tract, and the latter 160 acres in
Riverside county. Browns property
was to be seen, but Riverside county is
a fairly large one, and instead of ex-
amining what McCarty offered Brown
took his word for it. McCarty said his
160 acres was fine tract of land, good
for anything and especially good for
alfalfa, of which several crops had been
grown on it. AS mater of fact, he main
tanned it was worth $35OO, but Offered
to trade it with Brown in exchange for
his real estate. Relying upon the repre-
sentations of McCarty. Brown acqui
esced and in February of the presen
year the exchange was made and the con.
veyence drawn.
Presumably McCarty is content with
his bargain, but Brown is much dis
gusted. Within the month he has dis
covered that the 100 acres in Riverside g
county of which he is the owner is water
less. inaccessible to irrigation, is quite
barren and in a remote section of the
county. Wild cats might be raised on
the tract, but not alfalfa, and instead oe
being worth $500 it would be no bar.
gain with the $4,000 knocked off.
In these circumstances the plaintiff
asks that defendant pay him $4,000 as
damages.
The herald., 1897-05-21

| He had held policy in the defendant
company for $1,000. but upon claim being
made the defendant corporation denied
| liability. 1t appeare that during his
! lifetime Mr.. Randall received regular
monthly notice from the head office of
the company Of any assessments that
might be declared, and he, with the same
regularity, made reply. He received,
however, no notice for assessments due
on February l, 1895. and about that time
he was .aken i'll and continued SO inter-
mittenty until hie decease in June. By
reason OF his not having received any
assessment notice, and also his illness
at that time, Mr.. Randall failed to call
to mind the fact that an assessment
might be due. On March % he caused
to be forwarded the firm check for IS. AZ,
the amount of one regular assessment.
In April the check was returned, and on
May 26th another check was forwarded
for SIG, ,26, being the amount due on Feb
ruary 1st, April 1st and June 1st. In
August this check also was returned.
1t is claimed in the case that it has been
the custom with the defendant company
to be not 80 rigid regarding the recep-
tion of monthly assessments and not to
hold to strict account those who might be
a few days late in paying the regular a,-
sessments. This, was the case with Mr..
Randall, and at the same time this
kindly laxity gave the life association
an excuse for denying liability on the
policy when the claim for the amount
of insurance was made at the time of his
death. This very point was raised on
demurrer, and yesterday Judge Allen
ruled adversely to the company, and in
so doing decided a point of much i'm
portance.
Where one person." says the court,
''by his acts or declarat tions, made de-
liberately and with knowledge. induces
another to believe certain facte to exist,
and that other person rightfully acts on
the belief so induced, and is mised
thereby. the former is estopped to after
wards set up claim based upon facts
Inconsistent with the facts SO relied
upon, to the injury of the person so mis-
led.
The demurrer therefore, admitting |
hat the checks Of this firm were received |
Without question for period of four
Years and more, that the money was re-
ceived without reference to the delin-
luency, the company should not be heard |
low to say that, without notice to the in
sured, it would change it's mode of busi-
ness and rely uopn the strict letter Of
The contract"

The spectacle of a big. fat Chinaman,

scorching along the asphalted streets of
Washington is one that has become
familiar. The flying figure is that OF
WI Ting.fang, the Chinese Minister.
He contracted the bicycle habit very
shortly after coming here last spring
and is row a confirmed wheelman. He
rides ladies wheel, it being impossible
for him to mount an other on account
of the cut OF his clothes. The Minister'S
little son accompanies him on his trips,
and it is not unusal for the queer pair to
be followed by mixed train of boys
and girls of all nationalities. The di-
plomat is apparently unmindful of these
attentions. and if he is annoyed thereby
does not show it. WI Ting fang is the
most democratic o; the long list of Chi
nese ministers who have been in Wash
ington. He and his wife frequently
drive out together. and move about the
shoTs and streets with the air of trained
people Of the world who GO quietly
about their business without the slight
est regard to what the common herd
may think or say about them.
A Washington friend tells me that
Associate Justice Field would have re-
tired from the bench long ago but for
the protesta,ions of Mrs Field. who is
very fond Of the social distinction which
attaches 10 the establishment OF an
active member OF the Supreme Court
She felt, so my informant says. that il
Justice Field should retire she would be
in some way surrendering point Of
vantage in the social world and be
placed where she might be catalogued as
a back number.
