Superior Court.

Judge Williams heard the case eff IL.
Il. 'knowlton VS. G. II. Wright which
was begun Tuesday at Willimantic.
iKnowlton lives in Mansfield and
Wright in Ashford.
The suit grew out of written agree
ment entered into by the parties on
January IA, 1913. In the agreement
Wright was to haul all the timber of
Knowiton at So thousand feet and
cross ties at IL cents each.
In part payment Wright agreed to
buy all the slabs on two certain lots at
81 cord, and all the lumber on an
other lot at 81 80 cord. Wright haul,
ed about 81, 900 feet of lumber and re-
fused TO haul any more, according to
hnowlton, ana would not complete
his contract. Knowlton claims that
as an inducement to this agreement he
purchased of Wright a certain lot for
which he paid $500 and another lot
that cost 1900 and on which he paid
500.
Know lton says that he sold all the
lumber on those lots and part of it was
delivered. Because Wright refused to
complete his contract he was unable TO
dispose of a lot of the lumber because
people who had bargsined for it would
not accept the lumber because it was
not delivered at the time they wanted
it. As a result iknowlton claims that
he has a lot of lumber on his hands
which has greatly deprecated in val.
ue.
Wright claims that it was 'knowl-
ion who ioroke the contract and not
he. He has a counter claim against
Knowlton in which he sets forth that
knowlton hired other men and teams
to do hauling, and that as a result he,
Wright, lost considerable money.
Wright claims that he went to the ex-
pense of getting horses, wagons, and
men, and then knowlton got some one
else to haul the lumber. Wrightclaims
$1,000 damages while Knowlton claims
$1,000.
