CLARKE COUNTY.
An Interesting Wheat Case Decided
Sign of Prosperity.

| BERRYVILLE, VA, August 5.-(Spe-
cial)-A case which has excited a great
deal of interest throughout the county,
especially among farmers and dealers in
grain, was finally disposed of this week
in the County Court. The action was one
of damages brought by the T. Lovett
Company Roller Mills, of Berryville
against George w. Wynkoop, Jr., a
prominent farmer of Clarke county, and
grew out Of the failure on the part of the
defendant TO deliver go bushels of wheat,
which the plaintiff claimed TO have pur-
chased of him on April 23d last. The
plaintiff claimed an unconditional pur-
chase at 80 IA cents a bushel, the wheat
TO be delivered within two weeks; the
defendant on the the other hand, claimed
a sale conditioned upon his ability to de-
liver the wheat within the time specified.
In the mean time the price of wheat adj
vanced TO 81 29 a bushel; Wynkoop failed
to deliver the wheat and eventually sold
TO another man at $3.50. The evidence in
the case was most conflicting, so much so
that at the former trial, had in July, III"
jury was unable to agree. AT the term
Just closed, after a holly contested lega
battle. the jury found for the plaintiff
giving damages in the sum Of Slt37, the
difference in the price at which the wheat
was contracted TO be delivered and the
highest price wheat reached before the
expiration of the two weeks. Messrs
Marshall Mccormick & Son represented
the plaintiff, and a. Moore, Jr., the de-
PENDANT.
