Newton. Feb. 26.-The case Of John
NJ. Hess vs. e. G. McCardell ct al.
which is being tried in district court,
has aroused much interest because the
defendants, f. G. and H. c. McCardeli
are local men OF excellent repute.
The story of the case is as follows:
John NJ. Hess owned 623 acres Of
land in Kossuth county which was
valued at s77,s75. In January 1915, E..
@. McCardell persuaded him to trade
that land for Chicago property which
the plaintiff claims, was said by the
defendant to be worth, $4,000 and
would bring him in $500 per month
rent There was a mortgage on tie
Chicago property which was said to
be due in 1919. Now the plaintiff
claims that the property in Chicago is
worth only $4,000 by actual apprais-
ment. and that the mortgage was fore
closed on him after. he had had the
property less than year. -,
He SAYS that he was wholly ignorant
and that the defendants took advan-
tage of that fact when they sold him
the property. He claims that, the
amount of money which he actually
lost thru the transaction is appro-
imately 1000, so he is suing for that
amount of damages. ,--. AZ. +.
The land in kossuth county has
been sold by the McCardells to Henry
A dams since the other transaction was
made. . ..
