as Of March /, 1920, reducing the
amount Of notes and mortgage
against real estate owned by the
plaintiff by $4,000, and decreeing that

written contract with the heirs of the
late T. G. Cronkelton for the pur-
chase OF the Cronkelton farm of SIS

written agreement for sale being en-
tered into on June s. 1919. The con-

on March l. 1920, and the balance in
the form Of a note secured by mort

shown to total 5S0.84 acres Settle
Inent was made on this basis but
later it was found a mistake had
been made, It Is claimed, with the re-
suit that the acreage had been in
creased by ten acres over its cor
rect area. Some minor matters In
controversy, such as the inclusion of
a roadway in the total acreage, were
settled between the purchaser and
the heirs. but the mistake in survey,
it is said, was not discovered until
some time after.
