tween the parties in the suit in which
it was agreed, that if the plaintiff
would transfer and pay to the defend
ants $1,000 of the purchase price OF
the property of the Hanna Mfg. Co.,
corporation of Oskaloosa, which S..

said Hanna Mfg. Co., of Davenport,
or a controlling interest therein, that
the said defendants would pay to the

1t is claimed is due and wholly unpaid
with the exception of 1925. John o.

ment of $4,000 for the plaintiff, was
taken up by the court yesterday after
