Law Rescript
ArOOStOOk County

A rescript was handed down by
the law court Tuesday in the ARGOS.
took county case Of Don c. Sylvester.
ct ais VS. Abbott Worthley, over
ruling the motion Of the defendant
for a new trial.
The rescript, which was drawn by
CHIEF Justice Leslie c. Cornish, of
Augusta, is as follows:
In an action of assumpsit to re-
cover balance due on the sale and
delivery of potatoes it appeared that
under the terms of the written con-
tract, the plaintiffs were to ship the
potatoes during the month of Sep
TENDER. 1920" The last three cars
were not loaded until Oct. LIST and
were billed out Oct. End. On this
ground the defendant claimed breach
of the contract. The plaintiffs re-
ply is that the brief delay Of "a or
4S hours was caused by the previous
requests of the defendant himself
and therefore the Plaintiffs must be
allowed additional time for compile
ton equivalent to the time of re-
quested delay.
The plaintiff recovered a verdict
for $136O5O. On defendants motion
for new trial it is
HELD:
/. That a fair Interpretation of
the contract placed upon the de-
PENDANT the duty of notifying the
plaintiffs when he desired th4 vari-
uos shipments to be made. the
names of the consignees and the
route over which they should be
billed. The plaintiffs could not load
at their own option but must await
the direction of the defendant.
.. That it the defendant. during
the correspondence between the par
ties as to the fulflmeHt Of the con-
tract, asked for delay in shipment,
and the plaintiffs acted upon such
suggestion and request In good falth'
they should be allowed a core
spending extension beyond tne eho
of the contract month.
g. That If the defendants. own
acts placed the plaintiffs in a posi-
ton where they were prevented from
completing the contract within the
specified time, then he is stopped
from setting up non-performance
within that specified time as q de-
Tense.
q. The jury must have found
from the evidence that the piai1'iiiS
were excused from shipping the
three cars on Sept. 3oth' ana III 'he
opinion of the Court the verdic' was
clearly justified.
Motion overruled.

The testimony. 1t is conflicting from

RATION HAS VERSATILE
HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY

Especial Correspondence to The journal,
Ration, N. M, Feb. 26.--Raton
has probably one of the most YER.
satile faculties in its high school,
than any other school in the state.
Just recently the men of the fac
, ulty were playing basketball for
! the sake of the high school team
7 and incidentally to amuse them
selves as well as to play in public
to help boost local athletics. Now
the entire faculty is to put on q
play. "All of a Sudden, Peggy"
which will be presented on the
might OF February % in the Shuler
auditorium. The performers are
being coached by Miss Frances
Keeth, head of the English de-
partment, who also carries the IT,
tile role. Miss Keeth has several
local talent plays to her credit
here, all of them successful and
this one promises to be an espe-
cially big hit. 1t is certain that a
big hit will result according to the
local theater prophets.
Just recently the students de-
cided to purchase $500 worth of
new scenery for the high school
auditorium, which has Just arrived,
The faculty wished to carry out
their share of the expense and so
decided to put on the play to help
the students out and not make n
burden to them. The proceeds of
the play which will be given next
Tuesday night will apply to the
cost of the scenery.
