Judge Garland Hands Down m import
ant Decision.

ant Decision.
Sioux Falls. :. D., July N.-Judge
John T.. Garland. OF the United States
district court for South Dakota has
just handed down decision which viii
be OF general interest. The facts I'm the
case briefly stated are as follows:
ON June 20. 1909. Thomas Evans. n
farmer residing IN Hutchinson county
near Parkston. signed an order for a
threshing machine that he agreed TO
purchase OF the Minneapolis Threshing
Machine company. The price agreed
on I'm tho order was $3.50. The day
after giving the order Mr.. Evans mailed
"A letter to the company cancelling the
order on account OF what he considered
INSTRUMENTATION on the part OF the
representative Of the company. The
company refused TO pay any attention
TO the countermand OF the order and
shipped the machine to Parkston ac-
cordlng To the contract. Mr.. Evans re-
fused To accept the machine. The COM
pany then brought suit against Mr..
Evans I'm the circuit court OF Hutch
inson county and after the trial had
proceeded To n certain point the at
torncy for Mr.. Evans moved TO have
the case dismissed. The attorney for
the thrcshing machine company with
drew the case. and Immediately COM
menccd another action I'm the federal
court I'm Sioux Falls To- foroclose u
vendors lien. The testimony was
taken some time ago when Judge Car
land took the case under advlsement.
Judge Garland now makes a decision
which relieves Mr.. Evans from all
liability thus establishing the right OF
an individual TO cancel an order OF this
character.
Since the machine was shipped TO
Park ston two years ago the company
has allowed 1t TO stand out I'm the
weather with no protection, and al
though the machine could have been
sold twice during that time. the COM
pany made no effort To dispose OF IL.
The company now has badly disfig-
urcd machine on its hands.
