Norman Transcript: The action brought
by W. H. Lee against J. c. Durham. Of
WINDOW attachment celebrity, was setued
on Wednesday by Mr.. Durham paying
Mr.. Lee $500 and taking the farm. assurn-
ing the $500 mortgage thereon. This case
has been one rather sensational in some
of it's features. From the petition is
seems that Mr.. Durham sold Mr.. Lee
the exclusive right to sell the Durham
window attachment in Kentucky or Ten
nessee, the consideration being the Lee
farm, which was decided to Mr.. Durham.
There was a mistake in the description
of the land. and Mr.. Durham brought
suit to compel Mr.. Lee to make a good
deed. Mr.. Lee by this time had tried
selling the attachment and had poor sue
cess. He refused to remedy the deed. and
answered the petition by claiming false
pretenses on the part of Durham in Sc
curing the same. The case will now be
dismissed. The farm has been sold to L.
Hunter for 81, 300-ssO0 10 Mr. Durham and
the $500 mortgage. n addition 10 the
$500 paid TO Mr. Lee at this time, Mr.
Durham advanced him nearly 500 when
he started out with the window arrange
ment, so the deal closes with Durham
just about even.
