THE LAW COURT.
Continued from page ~

garded of equal value. the exchange
was even. 1t was effected by deed
from Bickford to Walker of the Lam
cey lot, and deed from Walker to hi,!l
of her lot, hereafter called the Walker
lot. Samson Hart and his wife at tn.
same time released to Walker their
interest in the Lancey lot under the
Bickford mortgage and took mort
gage from Bickford on the Walker lot
to secure the performance of his bond
for maintenance.
February rs. 1890, this plaintiff
brought Il bill in equity against SAM
son Hart Angie A. Grant. the daugh-
ter of his second wife. and Eugene
Rickford. brother of Angie. Samson
in January, 1883. had conveyed to An
gle Grant lot of land known as the
Heagan lot. She claimed in her bill
that all five parcels of land were pur-
chased with the money of her mother,
Hannah, and that her father held them
all in trust for Hannah. and upon her
death, in trust for herself. this plain
tiff. She alleged in that bill that Sam
son and Bickford had exchanged the
Lancey lot for the Walker lot: that the
exchange was an "even one" and that
Z tached" to the Walker lot In her
prayer she asked that Samson and
Hickford may be adjudged and de-
clared TO hold the Harvey
Robinson lot. the Miller Richardson
LOT, the McMaster and Nelson lot, and
the Walker house and lot in trust" for
her and that they be required to con-
vey the same to her. That suit was
1A~,,
ana eliminated, in final decree of the
court.
If the plaintiff had a cestui que trus'
interest in the Lancey lot. when 1t was
exchanged for the Walker lot. she had
the option to charge the Laneey lot on
the Walker lot with the trust. she
elected to look to the Walker lot or
the value of about $1,000. and thereby
waived and released her claim on the
Lancey lot Held: That having made
her election with full knowledge of the
facts. she is bound by it. and is
estopped to assert claim upon the
Lancey lot.
Held also: That it is very clear the
plaintiff not only did not accept the
trust as to the 5000, but repndiated it.
In her first bill in equity she claimed
that all the lands in which her father.
Samson Hart, held the legal title, be-
longed to her mother. and that as her
sole heir she was entitled to the entir'
estate. II that claim was true in fact,
her father could not charge any trust
upon the land. Her claim of the en-
tire title was absolutely inconsistent
b with any trust for $500 charged upon
the same land. Such claim deliberately
made and insisted upon at the trial of
that case, was full remuneration OF
q the trust now claimed and ended her
right thereto.
n It is too late, now, for her to recall

Fox Farming In Alaska.

Within the last fifteen years the new
industry of fox farming" has been
developed in Alaska. 1t originated in
the desire to preserve the valuable
blue fox from determination. The eX-
pertinent was begun by placing twenty
foxes on an unoccuried island. In the
course Of few years some thirty Is
lands We're thus turned into fox
ranches. 1t was found that the ami
mails soon Eecame sufficiently domcst1
Gated to cease fearing their keepers
and to assemble at feeding places.
Eight hundred or Il thousand foxes are
included in a ranch. At the proper
age Il certain number are killed for
their pclts. The business appears t.
pay well. and it is suggested that 9th
cr fur bearing animals might be DO
mesticated and propagated in similur
manner.
