Court DiSmiSSeS
Damage Suit
IMPORTANT RULING in CASE
Lessons Objection Good Grounds for not COmpIet-
ing Agreement to Assign Lease

Attorney Allen A. Holsclaw re-
ceived word yesterday from Judge
John M. Flynn that he had decid-
ed the case of j. b. Stotts VS.. j.
V. Elliott and wife which was tried
i'm the district court here We'd
nesday before the judge without a
jury, in favor of the defendants.
The suit was brought by Stotts
against the defendants To compel
the performance of an alleged
contract and to recover three
thousand dollars damages for it's
breach. According TO the evi-
dence in the case the defendants
were the lessees Of a tract of In
dian land i'm the western part of
the county belonging to an Indian
named Wildshoe. They wished
To dispose of this lease and left it
with real estate firm i'm Tekoa
to sell.
This firm negotiated a sale of
the lease which included the crops
growing ON the land To the plain
tin. Stotts, who paid a small sum
down To bind the bargain, it be
ing understood that the parties
were To meet at the Office of the
real estate agent at a certain time
TO make out the papers and pay
the money.
The plaintiff was on hand at
the specified time TO pay the mon
cS and accept the transfer of the
lease but the defendants failed
to appear. The plaintinf made a
demand ON the defendant for a
specific performance of the con-
tract. The Indian, Wildshoe, was
unwilling to have The defendants
transfer their lease To The plain
tiff and they refused.
The court, i'm its findings OF
facts, found that the plaintifi was
at all times ready and willing to
perform the contract on his part ;
that Wildshoe was the owner of
the land and unwilling to accept
Stotts as a tenant and that This
absolved the defendants from a
performance of the contract, and
found that the plaintin was not
entitled to a specific performance
of the contract and was not en-
titled to any damages. He or
dered the suit dismissed.
Charles McAvoy of Tekoa and
William d. Keelon of this city
were the attorneys for the plain
lios and the defendants were rep
resented by Attorney A. A. Hols-
lclaw of this city and Attorney J
lD. McManus of TekOa.

AID IN BLASTING.
Germans Use Liquid Air in Mining
Operations.

Liquid air has been used increas-
ingly in Germany for blasting, since
the outbreak of the war, and so salts
factory has it been found that doubt
less it will be used even more after
the war, says July Popular Me
chanics. One advantage that liquid
air has over other explosives is the
safety with which it can be handled
In blasting, black mouselike bags,
which are called cartridges, are sat-
urated with the liquid air and used
as charges. Though one of the cart
ridges is more powerful than an or
binary charge of dynamite it can be
trampled under foot without any
danger, kissing sound like escap-
ing steam being the only noise pro-
duced. The miners take several of
these cartridges and with a stick
jam them into hole that has been
