Suit Filed Over Ranch An equity lult to force up holding of an alleged verbal agreement between the late Vera L. Crisler and Edward F. Fitz patrick, involving the Boyd ranch near Bly, was filed with the county clerk yesterday against Dola N. Clemens, ancil lary administrator for the Cris ler estate, by U. S. Balentine, at torney for Fltzpatrick. Fltzpatrick, who was a butch er in Klamath Falls before be coming a rancher, claims that he and Miss Crisler had an agree ment to buy the George Boyd ranch, cattle and equipment. She was to put up the money for the purchase, and they were to be co-operators of the ranch, share and share alike, waiving repayment of the initial outlay, Fitzpatrick asserts. They bought the ranch on March 5, 1945, paying $10,000 down and leaving a balance of $24,300 to be paid at $5000 a year. Another $10,000 was paid for the livestock. In all Miss Chrisler spent about $32,000 on the ranch, the suit set forth. The agreement was verbal, but bills of sale for the land and cattle refer to Fitzpatrick and Miss Crisler as co-partners. Miss Crisler died last Novem ber 20, leaving a will and three codicils which did not mention either Fitzpatrick or the ranch. Dola N. Clemens was named as ancillary administrator. On January 30, by court or der, Fitzpatrick, as surviving partner, was placed under $7000 bond to liquidate the partner ship's assets. Liquidation, Bal entine asserts, cannot be done immediately but in the due course of business. Just before her death, Miss Crisler sold cattle for $12,730 and deposited that money in the bank to be used in buying more cattle for the ranch, Fitzpatrick claims. This suit is to force Clem ens to turn loose that money for purchase of cattle, and also money for payment on the in-1 stallment due on the property. Release of the money is neces' sary to protect the investment in the ranch, f itzpatrick declares. J. H. Carnahan is the local at torney for Clemens.
