APPEALS CASE
Demands Share of Profits in
Land Deal with Tuttle

L. c. Pettibone Of. Dawson has
appealed to the supreme court his
case against VIM. P. Tuttle. wealthy
Chicagoan and former resident OF
Dawson, in which he claims profits
on land transactions which might
under the purported agreement and
circumstances. approximate $4,000.
Pettibone alleged that about 1911,
when Mr.. Tuttle came to Dawson,
partly because of domestic Difficult
ties, they discussed possibilities OF
profit in land speculation, and that
as result they purchased some
land in western North Dakota, in
cluding 1880 acres< in Billings
county. Under the agreement, he
said, Tuttle was to purchase the
land and Pettibone was to receive
one fourth of the profits for his ac
tivities and advice. The land, pur-
chased for $3.50 an acre. has in
creased in value to $25 an acre,
Pettibone maintained.
In his case heard by Judge Nues-
sic in district court he asked that
the partnership he said existed De
dissolved and the land sold and d.
vision made. Judge Nuessle held
that there was no question but that
plaintiff performed many valuable
services in various ways, that
Tuttle did agree to pay him one
fourth of the profits and that large
profit did accrue, but held that not
anything in the nature of part
nership had been proved. From this
decision Pettibone appeals.

FOUND AND LOST,
NEW HUNT FOR

North Dakota war veterans are
ashed by the Disabled American
War veterans to join in search
for Roy NJ. Hancock, formerly a
private in the Motor Transport
corps, who escaped from the insane

The missing youth is the son of

located in the jamestown institu'

ans, and upon communication with
the North Dakota institution learn

Hancock was insane, he had been

Tonight l interviewed Mussolini

with political leaders whose pro-

stares at the citizens of his country
