of Douglas H. Roberts and L. L.
Turner in his suit against Joseph
B. Britt and others, wherein he re
covered a iu gment of $400 for at

cause in the Nebraska supreme court.

had been proient at a meeting in
Bethany when the attorney was en
gaged for some school district serv
ers, should have been joined in the
action.

J. II. Bailey and 53 others of Red
Cloud, Neb., for damages and $3,000
breach of contract, and got a $2,500
verdict on the contract, but the
supreme court reversed the case.
His contract was that he should
provide weils which would yield
250,000 gallons of water a day for
the city of Red Cloud, for which he
was to receieve $1 a day while they
were in operation, with the proviso
that the other parties could buy the
wells at any time for $3,000.
They paid him $1 a day for three
years, and then ceased. He sued
them and got a judgment on the
purchase clause of the contract. The
supreme court held that he could
not enforce the optional purchase,
since he had a remedy in a suit for
damages.
