BOTH LOST MONEY
Verdict Is Rendered in Watermelon
Case in District Court

Under the terms of a verdict rem
dered in the second division of the
district court today in a watermelon
case every one connected with the
case is loser.
c. B. Bruce of Verden, Ok, who
shipped a carload of melons to the
Hayes Produce company of Topeka,
loses only $3.50. But Eugene Hayes
$135. -00
August l, 1914, Bruce wired Hayes
that he had a carload of melons that
he would sell for $135. Hayes wired
pack to ship over the Rock Island.
The melons were shipped. Bruce drew
u sight draft on the Hayes Produce
company for the $135, took out the
Dill of lading in his own name and
attached the draft and bill of lading
together The bill oflading and draft
came to Topeka by a circuitous route,
reaching here August 6.
The melons arrived the evening of
August and Hayes saw them the
morning of the 4th. Hayes says he
FOUND them in bad shape, that some
or them were rotten and that others
had been cut through the cracks in
the car and whole sections removed.
However, even before he saw the
melons, on the 3rd, he had wired
Bruce that he could not take the car
load When they finally arrived he
could not get them because the bill
Of iading was not yet in Topeka The
melons remained on the track until
the 9th when the bill of 1ading and
Bruce arrived about the same time.
Bruce turned the melons over to
George Christopher. The latter ship
ped them out and sold them in three
different places for enough to pay the
freight bills and other expenses, all
except $3.50 of the commission COM
ing to Christopher.
In bringing suit against Hayes,
Bruce did not ask for ANYTHING except
the price agreed upon for the melons,
s135- He was given judgment for the
ful! amount. Hayes did not get the
melons but must pay for them. Bruce
got the melons but still owes money
for selling them.
