June q, 1900
WHEN a REAL ESTATE BROKER
is ENTITLED TO COMPENSA-
TON. ALTHOUGH THE SALE is
NOT COMPLETED. WHEN NOT
SO ENTITLED.
crockett was employed as a real es-
tate agent to sell Graysons land. and
Grayson represented there was only
S4,0U0 in liens upon it. Spii,er agreed
with Crockett TO buy the land. but sti-
pulated with him that if the liens were
over $4,000 he might annul the con-
tract. The liens were over $4,000 and
Spiller annullcd the contract. Crock
cit sued GraysOn for his commission,
ana, Judgment being given against him,
appealed.
The court says:
real estate broker to be entitled to
compensation must complete the sale;
ne must lind purchaser in "a situa
ton ready ana willing TO complete the
purchase upon the terms agreed upon
before he is entitled TO his commission
When he has found such a purchases
VINO has entered into a valid contract
his right to compensation cannot he
defeated by the fault of the seller. by
MS misrepresentation, or by his whim-
steal or unreasonable refusal to comply
with his contract.
Ii is claimed in this case that Crock
cit found purchaser who entered into
u contract in exact accordance with
instructions which he received from his
principal Charles Crayson: and in one
view of it. this is true. GraNson was
ready TO sell his property for $4,000
and Spiller was able 10 pay for it, The
terms of payment were agreed upon
and contract signed: but as we have
seen. iii inst contract there was right
reserved by which il was subscqu ently
defeated. The contention OF Crockett
upon this point is. that it was defeated
by the Misrepresentation OF GraySon,
and that therefore he is entitled TO tho
compensation for which he contracted
There arc perhaps cases in which a
broker may be entitled to compensation
where i negotiation for the sale of real
estatc has been broken off by reason
of a misrepresentation made by the
seller. Such a case is referred TO in
Mechen on Agency, but the authority
Is not accessible TO us. 1t is Il funda-
mental principle that the fraud OF
which one complains must be accom-
panied by damage 10 constitute q cause
OF action. II is true. that CiraNson rep
resented that 81, 900 would satisfy the
liens upon his lands, and this state
lnent appears to have been untrue: but
it is plain that so far as it, affects
Crockett's right To recover in this ;ic-
ton. 1t did not injurc him in the least
degree, for if tho representation had
not been made Spiller would never
have entered into the agreement. Had
Graysnn disclosed the precise state of
the record with respect to tho liens
upon the property, it is safe to say that
| tho negotiation between himself and
! Sni'lcr would at once have ended. At

MEN OF AFFAIRS.

The Medical Sentinel comments on
the restless brain worker of our large
cities and refers to the fact that he
thinks he knows MS uch about the needs
of the brain. when he is tired and
shows brain rag. as a trained prac-
titioncr.
He is inclined 10 spur up the tired
organs by some stimulant or perhaps
quiet it's complaints with the narcotic
of tobacco. and this plan goes on until
suddenly he cOllapses. for brain fag is
sure sign that the clements that COM
pose the brain are being more rapidly
used up than replaced by the food.
There is really 81 choice of but two
pathways for an active brain worker
a man Of affairs-when he shows symp-
toms of breaking down. Either ne must
quit work or he must have food that
will replace the structure of brain and
nerve centers as rapidly as they are
used up each day.
Chemical analysis of the particles
thrown out through the pores OF the
body shows that after continued brain
work. large portion of excreta con-
tains phosphate of potash. 1t is known
that when this element is furnished by
the food in proper quantities, the sys-
tenn unites it with albumen and from
that compound makes the gray matter
that fills the nerve centers and the

CHALMERS SKIPS.
Tall Chalmers Skips and Leaves an
Unpaid Board Bill at the
Sheridan.
Caught at Glendive and Sheriff Bogue
Goes to Bring Him
Back.

Chalmers has gone. Chalmers is
the tall and distinguished looking gem
tleman who has been tarrying at the
Sheridan house for the past four
months waiting for a check. He came
in from the west late in January and
registered from Seattle and has been
living in a leisurely fashion since that
time, while the check was coming.
Friday night he took leg bail and a
bicycle belonging to Chris Henzler and
started west. He LETT a bill of $50
at the Sheridan house and several in
cidental memoirs about town in the
shape of little accounts. Henzler re-
ceived a card from him enroute west,
stating that his bicycle was at Man.
dan, where he secured a slight loan on
it. He was nabbed at Glendive by the
sheriff of that county in response to a
telegram and is being held there await
ing the arrival of Sheriff Begue, who
went west last night to bring him back.
Beating a board Dill in this state is a
misde1neanor. If Chalmers comes
back without a requisition he will prob
ably arrive today. It is stated he has
wealthy relatives in the east who may
liquidate.
A telegram from Sheriff Bogue
stated today that Chalmers refused to
come without a requisition, and
requisition on the governor of Mon
lana was granted by Governor Fam
cher Today and sent to the, sheriff at
G1endive.

B|AlIIR][RETT'S TROUBLE.
Hon. w. w. Barrett, State Forester,
Suffers from a Mental Misfortune,
and in the Asylum.
Friends All Over the State Will Regret
to Learn Of the Trouble that Has
Come to Him.
Hoped that a Month or so of Rest
and Treatment Will Restore
Him to Health.

Bismarck friends of Hon. w. W.,
Barrett, state superintendent of irri-
cation and forestry, will regret to
learn of a mental affliction that has
befallen him, leading to his temper
airy confinement in the state asylum
at Jamestown, where he may have rest
and medical treatment. Mr.. Barrett's
affliction was noticed first only a few
days ago, and steps were at once taken
by his son that he might have proper
attention and care. Mr.. Barrett's son
CAME in from the east Saturday to con-
suit with the governor regarding the
legal aspect of the case, Mr.. Barrett
being a state official. MI. Barrett is
one of the best known residents in the
state, known particularly through his
efforts for the increase of the forest
groWths of the state. He has been a
frequent correspondent Of the press of
the state, setting forth many excellent.
ideas for the growth and development
of woods and sylvan growths.
The Devils Lake Inter Ocean of a
recent date says of Mr.. Barrett's afflic-
ton:
Constable Church of Churchs Ferry
brought Hon. w. W. Barrett down
from his farm yesterday to be exam
med by the insanity board. For sew
eral days past Mr.. Barrett has been
acting unusually strange, and yester-
day his ailment took such a violent
form that his family became convinced
his mind was wrecked. Mr.. Barrett
owns a fine farm near Churchs Ferry.
Yesterday he went out where a colt
was picketed and loosened the tether
tied the rope around his neck and laid
down, apparently in the hopes that
the colt would run away. Members
of the family saw the act in time to
eXtricate the Would-he suicide from
his perilous position. Mr.. Barrett be-
came enraged at the interference and
began throwing stones at his rescuers.
He was overpoWered. however, and
kept confined until the constable ar
rived. s8
Or. Ruger. Of the insanity board,
made an examination Of Mr.. Barrel.
In the court house and pronounced him
decidedly insane. The board then
sent for his son, George Barrett, OF Ia,
kota, who arrived yesterday. Mr.
Barrett was much grieved TO learn o
his fathers sad misfortune, but IS he
understood the great mental strain
which he had been under for some
time, he did not question the validity
Of the examination. The board be
lieves there IS no hope at present fol
Mr.. Barrett, and that 1t will be neces
sary to send him to the state asylum
