Judge l. NJ. Olsen Of New Ulm filed
decision today i'm the case of Marion
Hills of Florida and Martin G. John
son of North Mankato against David
W. Evans and !. II. Archer. both of
North Mankato. The action was
brought to recover possession OF
property I'm North Mankatp. Just
across the bridge, consisting OF the
building where Mr.. Evans has been
living. and several lots. The case was
tried in st. Peter on May IL. 80.
Marion Hills, owner OF the prop
erty, had sent deed to Attorney T.
Hughes to be delivered to Mr.. Evans
on the payment OF S3.11G.T5. Mr.. Hills
was o take for part payment the as
signment Of mortgage from Mr.
Evans i'm the sum OF S2.209. The bal
ance OF the payment was to be in
cash. Mr.. Evans was TO pay the taxes.
Mr.. Evans left the assignment OF
the mortgage with Mr.. Hughes and
took the deed and other papers to a
hank in the city to get tile balance of
the money. The deed was handed to
Mr.. Evans by Mr.. Hughes merely to
show to the bark and was not in
tended to be delivered until payment
was made. MIR. Evans took the deed
and placed $3.50 worth or stamps on
Il and had IL recorded ut st. Peter.
He claims that the defendant. Mr.
Archer, had garnished him, claiming
that Mr.. Hills owed him something
for the sale Of the property.
The Judge filed his order sustaining
Mr.. Hills contention that he was the
owner of the premises and also gave
him "A Judgment for damages In the
sum of s57. The Judge in his memoir
andum says:
THE plaintiff probably has yet
some difficulty i'm determining who
started the war in Minnesota. II
seems that Martin G.. Johnson COM
menced suit against Hills. claiming
that he was the owner OF the property
and that !. H. Archer commenced
suit against him claiming that he was
entitled to some commission for the
sale of the property" The court finds
that Mr.. Evans paid taxes on tho
property, amounting to S150.29 and
made improvements on the property
to the amount of about $500. But the
court goyes him no judgment for this
amount. Mr.. Evans took possession of
the property on March is and began
to make the Improvements without
any authority.
c. o. DALEY is attorney for Mr. Hills
and III. L. Schmit and J. w. Schmitt
handled the case for Mr.. Evans.
