FARMERS OF FLATHEAD
MAY HAUL CHEAP WHEAT
District Court Holds Con-
tracts for Grain With
Dealers Are Binding.

Thousands of bushels of wheat, held
by farmers on the ,f'lathoad rcserva
ton. may have to be delivered to grain
dealers at less than a dollar n bushcl
as a result of a verdict reached by a
jury in department No. of the dis
trict court yesterday. Wheat sold yes
terday for S2.Ol in Chicago.
The jury gave Stanley Sccarce. a
Roman merchant judgment for $270
against W. B. Ackorman because Of
Ackcrman'S failure to deliver the
wheat crop he had contracted to sell
at gI cents a bushcl. Ackerman had
agreed TO deliver the wheat on Dccem-
Der 10. ON that day wheat was selling
in Chicago for $1.oi a bushel. Acker-
man refused 10 give up his grain for
80 cents, and Scearce brought suit.
Judge Theodore LentZ, who tried the
case, ruled that the contract was legal
SCcarce recently lost two other sim =
liar suits, but neither of them was an
out and out test of the validity OF
wheat contracts.
