Krf'm 1' sfla y s T:il!v The district court yesterday was occupied with the hearing of the case of William Walters vs. Martha C.ake neier, a suit originating over a dis pute as to a farm lease held by the plaintiff on the farm of tlie defend ant. The case was long drawn out and was given to the jury at 4:30 yesterday afternoon but an agree ment not reached until 10 o'clock this morning when the jury returned with a verdict finding for the plain ti tiff, Walters, in the sum of Jiki. This action was filed by the plain- iff asking damages in the sum of $5,000, by reason of the fact that on August 21. 1920 he had entered into a contract with the defendant through her husband as agent, for the leasing of the farm of the de fendant for the 1927 season. It-was claimed by the plaintiff that on March 1, 1927, when tlie plaintiff moved a part of his personal prop erty to the farm he found another tenant in nossession and was unable . - . . , , to care for his stock and implements that he had movd and was denied the use of the farm as provided in the lease. The defendant contended that on the terms of the lease the plaintiff had certain specified acts to perform, among these the plowing of a clover field in the fall of 192G and which he had failed to do and on which the defendant had notified him of the termination of the lease. The plain tiff contended that wet weather had prevented the plowing the lard in question.
