The suit of Muckle Bro. against the Lone Star Lumber Company for possession of the mill property at this place was decided : Saturday last by Judge T. A. McBride. The Lone Star Company leased the mill from Muckle Bros., and on July 1st. last, Livesley, the president of the Company, , agreed to purchase the same for the sum of $10,000; but on that date made a tend er of the money and found fault with j the title, The suit was then brought and ! defendant filed a cross bill, claiming , defective title and asking for $15,000 damages for betterments made by them , to the property. The decision quiets the I title in Muckle Bros., and orders the de- fendant to pay into Court the purchase ! price within thirty days, in default of which plaintiffs are awarded $175 per month rental from July 1st., 1903, Muck I le Bros, to give a warranty deed to the property in question.
