and willing to perform all its condi-
tions; and that in order to preserve
the property defendant had incurred
necessary expenses amounting to
S756.27 giving the items thereof. A
deed executed by defendant to Stew
art conveying the title to the prem
ises was rendered with the answer,
to be delivered upon payment of the
sum of $4,000 The prayer of the an
swer is that the purchaser be re-
quired to deposit in court the amount
OF his offer, to be applied according
to the terms of the contract and in
payment of such expenses.
The contract referred to states the
consideration for Colgan's execution
of the deed to the land as alleged in
the complaint The agreement also
contains, in substance, the following
provisions: list. That the bank, as
soon as a purchaser could be Sc
cured, would sell the premises at the
best price obtainable and for a sum
not less than its market value, noti-
flying Colgan of the amount received,
in order that he might have the bene-
fit of any sum obtained in excess of
$2,669.4O and interest as stated; End
that at any time prior to such sale
by the bank, Colgan might redeem by
paying the bank or its assigns such
debt and interest; and 9rd, that If
Colgan could secure a purchaser who
was ready, able and willing to buy
the land, the bank upon the recent
of such debt and interest would con-
vey the real property to the pur-
chaser and Colgan should receive the
remainder of the consideration, if
any.
The reply put in issue the material
allegations Of new matter in the an
swer, whereupon the cause was tried
resulting in verdict and Judgment
for the sum demanded in the COM
plant Thereafter defendants coun-
sci moved to set aside the Judgment
and for a new trial based on several
grounds which may be summarized
as follows: Irregularity in the pro-
ceedings whereby defendant was pre-
vented from obtaining a fair trial; in
sufficiency of the evidence to justify
the verdict and judgment which are
against law; errors in law occurring
at the trial and excepted to by de-
fendant; that the complaint does not
state facts sufficient to constitute a
cause of action and that no tender of
any money was made by plaintiff to
defendant prior to the commence
ment Of this acton. This motion was
denied and defendant appeals from
the judgment and from the order re-

This is an action to recover money.
The complaint states in effect that

that on January q, 1909, plaintiff
was the owner of so acres of land in
Marion county, describing the prem
ises and being then indebted in the
sum of s2,669.4O, he on that day in

nav the sum of $2,669.4O and interest
thereon at the rate of 8 per cent per
annum from January 27, 1909, to the
time of such payment, the defendant
upon the receipt thereof would exc

tiff to keep the remainder of the con-
slderation, if any; that plaintiff OBJ
tanned James Stewart, who on May
IT, 1909, then was, ever since has
been and is ready, able and willing to
buy the land and to pay therefor
$4,000, which sum is the reasonable
value thereof; that on the day last
named plaintiff notified defendant
that he had secured such purchaser
and then offered to pay to it, upon the
execution Of a deed to Stewart, the
sum of $2,6694O with interest as
stated, amounting to $2,7S4.66; that
in violation of the terms of the
agreement, defendant refused to ac-

and then stated that it had conveyed

change for other lands, thereby caus-
ing plaintiff to lose the difference be-
