Robert H. Morgan Brings Shit for
Specific Performance Against
Father and Mother.

Papers were filed in suit Saturday in
the superior court in case entitled
Robert ii. Morgan, plaintiff, and Rob-
ert S. Morgan and Minerva NJ. Morgan,
defendants. The plaintiff is the son of
the defendants, and claims that during
the year OF 1899 the defendants gave
him 20 acres of land and 10 shares in
the capital stock OF the Yakima Valley
Canal company upon condition that he
would pay the pro rata share of mort
gage covering this and other land of the
defendants, pro rata share being 5000 on
the 20 acres that plaintiff was to get by
virtue of this arrangement.
The plaintiff, through his attorney,
Henry J. Snively, files the suit now for
specific performance, claiming that he
has in every way complied with the con-
ditions of the gift imposed upon him by
the defendants. He also claims that he
has spent considerable sum of money
in improving the land, and that he has
had it in possession since the year of
1899.
Mr.. r. S. Morgan, when seen by the
HERALD reporter, was noncommttal be-
yond Me fact, as he alleges, that no
contract was ever made between him
and his son in regard to the matter.
