Florida Land Litigation
Ended.

Four years Of litigationin the
case involving 81 claimants
against the Southern Colonial
ton company, came to an end
last week, when District Judge
F. M. Cat1in of the Ramsey
county court, at St. Paul, gave
his decision, awarding damages
IN the amount of $3,821,71,w with
interest from April 1st, 1918.
The total claims were placed at
$2oO,0O0.OO.
The trial arose over the at
tempt Of the company to colon
ize and settle a tract Of prairie
land in Florida, and as part Of
the plan, the company promised
and attempted to build a rail
road through the land. The
whole enterprise, including the
construction Of the railroad,
was undertaken in good faith,
according to the findings Of
Judge Catlin, but resulted II
failure because of financial
disaster.
The trial lasted one month
and involved prominent men il
the Twin Cities and other parts
Of the state, who incorporated
the colonization company il
1910, for the purpose Of colo.
nizing and selling land in the
Kissimmee Prairie in Osceola
county, Florida. Some Of the
prominent stockholders in the
company were George D. Day
ton, w. S. Dwinne11, John Lind
and B. +. Ne1sonof Minneapolis
and Fred B. Lynch, A. j. MAJ
son, Nico1l Ha1sey and G. B.
Ames Of st. Paul.
In selling this land the con-
tract provided that a railroad
should be constructed through
the Kissimmee Prairie tract.
The company completed the
railroad as far as Prairie Ridge
in June, 1916, about two-thirds
of the distance from Whittier
to the proposed terminus. To
do this the stockholders contri-
buted more than q quarter Of a
million dollars.
Operation Of regular trains
was begun in June, 1916, and
continued with a diminishing
schedule until April, 1915, when
the running was abandoned with
the consent Of the Florida rail
road commission. Testimony
showed that during the opera
tiion Of the railroad only one
settler went onto the land, and
that the total receipts Of the
railroad operation were less
than the operating expenses.
Failure to construct the rail-
road, as agreed, started the.
campaign Of suits against the
company for the recovery Of

wreck the company was started.
by P. ]. Hamper, formerly a
salesman for the company, who.
formed an alliance for that pur-
pose with G. B. Schmidt, a st.
Paul attorney, who is in the
Saltwater penitentiary follow
ing a conviction on subordina-
ton to perjury.
In order to get Jurisdiction

n Minnesota, Mr.. Mitchell
said, Schmidt and Hamper
caused a Minnesota receiver
to be appointed for the com
pany, and in the receivership
action claims amounting to
$2O0,000.OO were filed. Stock
holders suits were started last
year but a demurrer by the
stockholders on the basis that
the grounds had not yet been
established, succeeded in hav-
ing the suits temporarily dis
missed.
At the trial, witnesses from
Florida who were acquainted
with the acquired land Of the
company, testified that the con-
struction Of a railroad would
scarcely have any affect on the
value Of the land near it. They
also said that before any rail
road would have any affect
upon the value of the land, it
would be necessary to construct
an extensive system Of drain
age and road building.
In his decision, Judge Cat1in.
pointed out that no attempt was
made at the trial to show fraud
on the part Of the company ii
misrepresenting the character
of this land. The evidence
showed that either the purchas-
ers or their representatives
were habitua1lytaken to Florida
to examine the land before.
purchasing.
From the evidence" states
Judge Cat1in, it would appear.
to be a case where the hopes Of
both sellers and purchasers of
the land as to its possibilities
were not fulfilled"
In making the awards, Judge
Catlin based his measure Of
damages on the difference be-
tween the value Of the land
with the railroad and the value
Of the land without the railroad
as agreed.
In commenting upon the deci-
sion, Dr.. Mitchell said that the
small amount Of less than
$4,000,out of a total of$2OO,OOOl
in claims, virtually sustains the
contentious Of the company as
to the damages.

If these reservations are of a seri-
