Purchaser Claims There is a
Shortage Of Acreage, Amount
ing to About $4,000
ALSO CLAIMS BY BIDDING
THUS BOOSTING PRICE
Other Cases Are Heard by Judge
E. Ray Stevens---Many Become
Citizens at Session

On Tuesday and Wednesday there
was a short session of circuit court
with Judge e. Ray Stevens presiding.
One Of the interesting cases was
Rhat of Edwin Keitel and others
against Olive GrisWold and others
over the sale of the Teel farm in the
town Of Sumpter. Some months ago
the farm was sold at auction, the
highest bid being by A. J. Zantow-
$40,5O0. He claims it was represented
there were 155 acres of plow land not
including the roads when in reality
there are but 130 acres, that there
are 1 6acres short in the entire farm,
and that the highest bona fide bid was
was much lower than the price he
paid.
Mr.. Zantow has rald $4,000, is to
pay $10,500 and give a mortgage for
$4,000 at per cent, due November
1, 1921. Failure to pay the $10,500 and
to give the mortgage has led to an
application of a receiver to take pos
session of the farm.
On next Monday at Madison it is
to be decided whether he is to give
up the farm or comply with the sale.
According to the Farmers Directory
of Sauk county, 1919, there are 82.10
acres in section 2 and 16O acres in
section 35, assessed valuation being
$24,300 Mr.. zantow formerly resid-

and costs.

the case of DR.. F. C. Dipple against

court later.
r. J. Martiny purchased hog
worth over 5000 from c. NJ Krause,
outside the state. There were some
verbal agreements which has led to
the action. A drop in values also is
an element in the case.
