They ordered Mr. Parsons to pay the
difference to Mr.. Ambos, and that the
two parties should then give equal
claim. Under the terms of the agree
nent by which the exchange was ef-
fected, Mr.. Ambos was given the priv
ilege of taking back his land at the
same price per acre as he had given it
TO Parsons.
Mr.. Parsons went before the court
and asked that the order and appraise-
ment of the last three appraisers be
set aside and this petition was grant,
ed. A motion for new hearing was
made by Mr.. Ambos. but overruled.
The case then went to the Supreme
Court, but the decision of the lower
court WAS affirmed.
Later Mr.. Parsons desired to reclaim
the tract of land which he had given to
Mr.. Ambos claiming that it was his
property. The action was filed, when
Mr.. Ambos refused to deliver. Mr..
Parsons petitioned the court that an
order be granted, giving him the land,
and to repair all injury that he had
sustained. To this the demurrer was
filed by Mr.. Ambos, and it was this
demurrer which was sustained by
Judge Cam.
The peculiar fact about the contract
ID that, though Mr.. Ambos was pro-
tected and given the privilege to re-
claim his land. Mr.. Parsons was net
so protected.
