Years.
LEE BRADSHAW AND
STONE LOSE ORCHARD
Oral Contract With Father Held to
Be Good Although She Left Place
After It Had Been Alloted to Her
and She Was to Live Upon It.
Mrs. Efflo May Terrill has been
awarded by Judgo Calkins tho 80
acro field awarded to her by her
father, tho lato W. II. Dradahaw, and
over which a legal battlo has been
waged for tho past two years.
The raso Ib ono of tho moat noted
legal battles fought In tho local cir
cuit court for aomo tlmo. It grow
out of nn oral contract entered Into
by tho elder DradBhaw and his chil
dren aomo years beforo his doath In
which ho allotted them different por
tions of his place known then as
tho Upham place, but now as tho
Dradahaw with tho understanding
that If they lived upon tho placo thoy
would each bo glvca deeds. Lator
Mrs. Terrill loft tho placo and tho
older Dradshaw sold tho place to
Leo Urndsbaw and Gcorgo W. Stono,
a brother-in-law, for 310,000. This
,was paid, and in cash.
In his decision Judgo Calkins states
that ho Is satisfied as to tho original
contract and that Mrs. Terrill Is on-
tltlod to her 80 acres. Ho says fur
ther: "I do not think tho principle of
estoppel will apply In thla cnao, for
that prlnclplo Is applies to cases
whero tho allonco haa misled Inno
cent persons. I do aot think that tho
dofondanta In thlB caso stand In tho
position of Innocent persons, for they
knev s well as the plaintiff all of
the transactions In tho matter; thoy
ovldeatly wont aliead and purchased
tho promises from tho oldor Drad
Bhaw bollevlng that Efflo would not
bo able to ontorce tho original con
tract mado with 3or father."
Tho caso will lie appealed to the

was Roosovelt's exclamation today
on meeting Gifford Pinchot, former

Tho meeting of the former presi

Tho meeting wns early this morn

Tho greeting of Pinchot by Rooso

colonel had not expeoted to see Pin

Thoy clasped hands liko long lost

mountains for a stroll which lasted
two hours.
''Nothing to give out," was tho
