Statement Of facts as to the above
claim:
The county took over a forty of land
known as the Hooper land in the
town of Webster. The county board
passed a resolution directing the dis
trict attorney to sell the land for not
less than $500; that in November,
1918, this claimant agreed to take the
land at $500 and informed the dis
trict attorney and county board and
the chairman of the county board
waited on the district attorney and the
district attorney advised Mr.. Dolen as
chairman and Mr.. Moore as clerk to
make a deed for the land. A deed
was made and signed by Mr.. Dolen
and Mr.. Moore also. Mr. c. w. Moore
made arrangements to get the money
and pay the $500 whenever the deed
could be delivered. Claimant then
asked County Clerk Moore for the deed
and he said that he could not deliver
the deed because the district attorney
had told him not to do so until this
claimant paid $50 interest. That fin
ally the claimant took up the deed
less than a year ago and paid the
demanded $500 and also paid the $50
under protest-as he was at all times
ready to pay the $500 whenever he
could get his deed. iuasmuch as
never owed or agreed to pay the $32
and only agreed to pay $500 for the
| land | ask that the county refund the
$32 exacted from me more than it
should have had.

ton of the resolution fixing the salary
of the county superintendent. Motion
lost.
