Anothr big western Kansas land law
suit arrived in the supreme court to-
day on an appeal from the ruling of
Judge J. H. Reeder, that the defeated
ntigant was entitled to new trial be-
cause of irregularity in the drawing
of the jury.

county, where they owned section Of
land John w. Phares is a Wa-Keeney
real estate agent. The section of land
was listed with Phares for sale at So
500, and the Krhuts claimed that Phares
found a purchaser who was willing to
pay the amount asked. Instead of tell
ing them this. they clam that he said
he could sell the land for $1,000, and
that they agreed to take that price.
They contend that Phares really reeeiv-
ed $4,000. and that he should pay them
the 81 500 shortage. less his commission.
which left a balance of 81 ,820. The
K1huts sued for that amount.
The jury in the case decided that rhe
contention of the Krhuts was not well
founded and they returned a verdict
for the defendant. A motion was the y
made by the plaintiffs for a new trial.
on the ground that there were irrega-
larities in the formation of the july.
Judge Reeder sustained the contention.
and ordered a new trial The question
at issue in the appeal is whether She
Jury which sat in the trial court was
a legal one, and Phares. who won the
case in the lower court, is the plaintiff
in error.
