backward. Growth also was reported
slow in Norway. The condition of the
crop in Northern Africa and Egypt Is

Ranch Deal Appeal
Goes Against Agent
Seeking Damages

Helena. Dec. 11.-CBy The Associ-
ated Press. IA. ]. Schmidt Of Fergus
county need not pay n damages to
James Awberry for his refusal to sell
a ranch for which Awberry alleges he
found a purchaser. Awberry alleged
he had an agreement for division OF
profits if he could locate a buyer,
Awberry took an option from Julius
Balm on 800 acres in Fergus and
Chouteau counties at $50 an acre. Be-
fore the expiration of the option he
assigned it to A. J, Schmidt; In his
suit he alleged that Schmidt agreed
that if either should find IL purchaser
who would pay $50 an acre, he would
accept and Awberry and Schmidt would
share equally in the $4,000 profit.
Schmidt took up the option.
Awberry alleged that he found a pur-
chaser at the agreed price and that
Schmidt refused TO sell. Schmidt's
defense was that he never en-
tered into an agreement to sell. The
district court in Lewistown found in
favor Of Schmidt and Awberry took
the case TO the higher court.
