Fisk vs. Anderson Waite, and the First National Bank of Eu­ gene, the supreme court, in an opin­ ion handed down In Salem yesterday and written by Chief Justice Moore, ’holds that where a person, intrusted with the sale of real estate, purchas­ es it himself through other parties, the vendor may rescind the sale, though the price paid is all that was demanded by the owner of the land." Toie action was a suit to enforce the specific performance of a con­ tract to convey real property. Ander­ son Waite appointed E. T. Maher to sell 320 acres of land at 110 an acre, Maher's commission to be 1. per cent. Maher gave H. H. Fisk a writ-' ten option to purchase the land with­ in 30 days. Within the time speci­ fied Fisk paid to the First National bank. >300, the amount agreed up­ on and accepted the land. Waite soon thereafter notified the bank not to receive any money on account of the sale of the land and if any had been paid to return it. Within the time limited Fisk tendered to the bank the balance due on the land, >2000, and demanded the deed, but failing to receive It. commenced an as-tion In the courts of Lane ocunty, alleg­ ing the above facts among others In the answer It is set forth thst Fisk was to receive a part of the stipula­ ted commission. It Is held that Fisk, by agreeing to accept Cais commis­ sion. became an agent of Waite and that this fact precluded him from acquiring title to the real property, without a full disclosure of his in- terests therein. In the lower court the suit was dismissed and the higher court af- firms the decree.
