CLAIMS A PRIOR CONTRACT.
Suit Intesferes With Christian Church
Plans.


Thursday the trustees of the Chris
tian church at Boise concluded to
purchase the LeHane ranch of leo
acres three miles west of the city,
and $4,000 is said to have been paid
over on the purchase price, which is
understood to be $4,000, reminds
the Boise Statesman.
Yesterday in the district court for
Ada county Joseph Perrault started
suit against the owner of the ranch
asking that the court issue an order
against Mr.. Leblanc compelling him
to perform a contract entered into
last month to sell the ranch to him
for $4,000.
The complaint, which was filed by
Attorneys Borah, Cavanah & Blake,
recites that Mr.. Perrault entered into
an agreement with Mr.. LeHane for
the purchase of the property, $4,000
to be paid down and the purchaser to
assume the payment of mortgage
of $4,000 drawing s per cent inter-
est which falls due next April; that
after the deed was made out 1t was
found that Mr.. LaHane agreed to
correct the title and then accept the
money. It is also complained that
later he refused to take the money.
The plaintiff asserts that he had
been to considerable expense in at
| torney fees and other items expecting
that the agreement would be fulfill
| ed.
Mr.. Perrault stated last evening: "a
bought the property on July II. We
| agreed on the price with Mr.. Leblanc
here and we closed the deal. He
wrote to his brother in Salt Lake, the
owner of the property, and n deed
was forwarded made out in my name
was buying the property. but AL
fred Eoff, Addison T. Smith ant
Joseph Pinkham were interested will
me in the investment. We intended
to plat the property under the nam'
of Cloverdale and had formed cor
poration for the purpose after th'
deal had been virtually closed. Be
fore accepting the deed, however, W,
found there was a cloud on the title
1t was agreed that that should b,
remedied before the money was pait
over. Mr.. LaHane understood tina
the money was waiting for him at an!
time the deed was made perfect.
ut was learned that the propert.
was purchased of Mrs. Sarah Ash b.
Leblanc. Mrs. Ash was widow
when she sold the property, but whel
she bought it her husband was liv
ing. so that his heirs had a commu
nifty interest in it,
"It was learned later that whel
Mr. Ash died back in Iowa he willeC
the property to his wife, so all tina
fectly clear and the deed perfect wa
to get a certified copy of his will
That would be necessary, his will no
having been probated in this coun
ty. 1t was understood that MI. LIE
Hane would see that the deed wa
made perfect and would then take on
money. Later when we wished t
close up the bargain, he refused t
comply with the agreement, so W
started the suit, We did not knoy
that the Christian church was think
ing of buying the property at tn
time we filed the suit"
The filing of the suit yesterda
came as surprise to the trustees o
the church, as they supposed tina
their deal had no opposition. The
had not looked into the matter las
evening and were not prepared to sa
what effect the suit might or Nigh
