as to what they had agreed would
be a ton measurement, Kacheiuier
claiming that they had agreed apon
averaging the hay at 10 pounds to
the bundle or 200 bundles to the ton,
while Rupert's contention was that
the hay vas to have been actually
weighed, claiming that about all the
hay contracted for had been deliver
ed. while the plaintiffs we're suing
for a shortage of ten tons.
