violence should he return. His per-
sonal property, including the wheat,
oats and stock and implements on
the farm were mortgaged and he
was obliged to consent to the sale
of them to satisfy the mortgages,

year at which the crops and imple-
ments were sold he states he lost

terference in his aGfirs $4,000 puni-
tive damages.
