son Demands an Ac-
counting

st. .Cloud Journal Press: e.. r.
Jackson has brought two suits in tbt
district court against former Congress-.
man G. b. Buckman of Little Fails.
aggregating ga, ,676. The contr3versv
arose over the big Brookdale farm
located IL miles from Roysltou. In hif
complaint c. e. jackson alleges thai
he purchased half interest In the
equity of the farm for So, 500 three
years ago. There are 9. 0O0 acres in
the farm, against which there is 8
mortgage Of t25 OOO. MI. jackson al.
leges that when he went to look over
the farm three years ago Mr.. Buck.
man showed him the soil around the
house and it was q fine black loan,
He stated that the land farther out
was even better and more valuable.
Mr.. jackson claims he did not take
the trouble to look over the land,
but took Mr.. Buckman's word for
it,. The plaintiff alleges that the
defendant made false representation
to him and that the land is not worth
nearly as much as it Is claimed and
is not worth enough to pay the mort
gage against it. He alleges that he
has lest all be put into it and asks
for Judgment for IS, 500. The other
suit is for accounting and settlsment.
lhe plaintiff claims that on March
70, 1904, he and Mr.. Buckman entered
INTO a contract by which they be-.
came joint owners of the Brookdale
farm. According to the agreement
each vas to own half Of the property
on the farm and receive half Of the
income. Mr.. jackson claims that
his share of the income since rs pur.
chased the farm has bsen S., 800 and
that he has lot received q cent of it,
he asks for q judgment for this
amount.
Further he claims that some of the
buildings on the farm were burned
last spring and the loss was fully
covered by insurance. Mr.. Buckman
took the $l2, 900 insurance money and
out it to his own use. He alleges
that the defendant has refused to pay
pver bis share of IS, 900 and wants
Judgment for that amount.
He further alleges that the follow
ing stock, machinery, etc., was on
the farm: Eight COWS, valued at
5000; Al steers, valued at 81, 100; two
bulls, valued at $3.50; one team of
horses, 1890; II horses. 1876: SO
hogs. 1884, five self binders. 1916
two corn binders, $50 household fur
niture and other machinery too num-
erous to mention, valued in all at
SO, $40 He claims that most Of the
stock and machinery has been sold
and shat he is entitled to one half,
amounting to 81, 985, and the defen-
dant has refused to pay over any part.
He fu .ther alleges that it was stipu-
lated ia the contract that if there were
any d1sseneions at the end of the..year
on the amount due each. G. A.
Nichols and E. A.. King should act
as arbitrators. 1t is alleged that the
defendant has refused to allow the
arbiiratcrs to have the case and no
