DECISION
IN NOTED LAND CASE
JUDGE NELSON GIVES POSSES
SION OF LAND TO MILLER
AND TELLS WHY HE DID.

Judge Nelson gave his decision in
the action of B. F. Adair against Ell
mer Miller, in which plaintiff sought
to obtain possession of his farm
worked by Miller under a lease which
plaintiff alleged was for one year,
while defendant claimed that he was
to farm and occupy the premises under
an oral agreement for period of two
years. The court entered judgment in
favor of defendant Miller dismissing
the action of plaintiff.
Judge Nelson in giving his decision
stated: ''In reaching the foregoing
conclusion | wish to say briefly, as
was stated by the court during the trial
of the cause, that the question to be
determined was, whether or not, at
the time defendant Miller purchased
the leasehold and farm equipment
from Edgar Adair, for the operation
of the farm owned by plaintiff B. F.
Adair, it was understood and agreed
by and between plaintiff Adair and
defendant Miller that said purchase
was made on condition that said Mil
Ter would have the privilege of holding
the farm for an additional year to
that remaining under the written
lease, or until November 1, 1921, a
period of two years. The testimony
on this point is conflicting, one group,
relatives of plaintiff, saying that
there was no such understanding, and
another group, relatives of defendant,
Just as emphatically affirming that
plaintiff Adair agreed that Miller
should have the farm for an addition
al wear. The court is confirmed in the
view that such agreement or oral
lease was consummated by, not only
the acts of and part performance of
the contract, operating to remove it
from under the statute of frauds, by
but also from the acts of
plaintiff in consenting to, directing
and advising the farm operation of de-
dendant's son-in-law, J. R. Warmoth, /
who farmed the land.
The court receives further confir-
nation in it's view in the attempted
sale of the farm equipment and trans
fer of lease by said Miller to. one
Jesse Webb, which sale and transfer
was agreeable to plaintiff, said sale
having been made in September 1920,
Or about a month and a half prior
TO the expiration of the written lease
between plaintiff and his brother, Ed
gar Adair. A second and later effort
IN the part Of defendant to sell the
farm equipment to one Brown and
place him in possession of the land
With the consent of the owner tends
% confirm the courts view, that in
he fall of 1919, at the house occupied
~ the then lessee, Edgar Adair, it
vas understood and agreed by and
between the plaintiff and defendant
hat defendant Miller was to have the
privilege of two year rental period
Nor can the court ignore the equitable
eatures which are present in this
ause, and they appear so strongly
n the side of defendant Miller, that
le is forced to conclude that said de-
enant is not guilty of an unlawful
etainer."

DUBLIN WOULD SELL
KINGS PORTRAITS
HIGH SHERIFF'S GOLD CHAIN
AND OTHER ORNAMENTS
MAY BE PUT TO USE.

DUBLIN-(By A. P.)-Proposals
have been made that the corporation
of the city of Dublin sell some OF its
official paraphernalia in order to OBJ
tain funds of it's employees or charities.
This is an outcome of the refusal OF
the government agents to turn over
to the Sim Fein city government GER
tain public funds which heretofore
were utilized to support the city ad-
ministration.
One of the articles, sale of which
has been proposed, is the MASSIVE gold
chain of office of the High Sheriff OF
the city. The present High Sherlff
is not a Sim Feiner but physician
who served through the war and was
appoited by Lord French; but ne has
suggested that the chain be sold and
the proceeds be devoted to keeping
open the Pigeon House Hospital for
consumptives which the corporation
had closed for lack of funds when the
withheld them.
A Sim Fein Councillor, T. L. Daily
has given notice that he will move
that the pictures and other parapher--
MALTA of or from British kings and
their representatives at present IN the
Mansion House or City Hall, be sold
at auction and that the money be
used to pay the salaries of employees
Of the city council.
Several of the pictures proposed to
sold are good examples by old
masters.

the best of spirit prevailed. Every
fireman wanted to assist in honoring
"Zum" and the banquet partook of the

WANTS MARKET FOR

which he asks what prices they will

were killed and if there will be a
good market for the skins larger
number will be killed during the com
ing winter. About SO percent of the
number would be skinned, if profitable
price could be secured for the skins .
Mr.. Crouch said he hoped Tor a
quotation of at least 12l cents a fur.
sNo Joking" he said, "a man can
make money killing jack rabbits. He
can make $40 a day at it. If we can
show that there is commercial value
to the rabbit, it will be the most
effective means of controlling the
pest. 1t will induce men to go out

setbacks by reason of the fact they

to cause the destruction of ten of
thousands of rabbits, especially in the
southern Idaho counties, through
